Ohmium International and India’s CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CSIR- CECRI) and Karaikudi, have formed a partnership in which Ohmium will fund CSIR- CECRI research into new materials to support next-generation electrolyzer technology. The three-year collaboration began on February 4, 2022, and will end on February 4, 2023. Dr. Chockkalingam Karuppiah, Chief Technology Officer, Ohmium, said: “CECRI is recognized as a world leader in electrochemical research. This sponsorship enables Ohmium to leverage CECRI’s deep expertise and resources, which will benefit both our current and the next generation technology.” Dr. Kalaiselvi, Director, CSIR-CECRI, added: “We’re delighted to work with a technology leader…

Airbus has been a leader in hydrogen aircraft for a long time, and it is working on three new hydrogen-powered planes that will be ready in the next two to three years. It has recently teamed up with CFM International to use a converted A380 with a hydrogen combustible engine. This is a big step in the development of these planes. GlobalData, the world’s top data and analytics company, says this program will work on hydrogen combustion technology instead of using hydrogen to power fuel cells. This is a different path than other companies are taking, which GlobalData says is…

Fusion Fuel Portugal’s industrial production facility in Benavente has been deemed a project of merit by AICEP, Portugal’s Trade & Investment Agency, due to its special and strategic interest for the Portuguese economy, and therefore secured funding support for its development. Fusion Fuel is building an automated industrial plant where it will make its HEVO technology and HEVO-Solar generators. The plant is expected to be up and running by the middle of 2022. When fully operational, it will be able to produce about 500 MW of electrolysis each year. As part of the deal with AICEP, Fusion Fuel has secured…

A subsidiary of Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure has agreed to get money from North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, and the international trading company ITOCHU Corporation to do more detailed feasibility studies for the Dalrymple Bay Hydrogen Project. At Hay Point, the Dalrymple Bay Terminal is well-known for its role in supporting the global steel supply chain by exporting steel to 25 countries. Due to its deep-water port, access to the established Mackay industrial zone, availability of land and water, and location within one of Queensland’s Renewable Energy Zones, DBT is an ideal location for a potential green hydrogen…

Hexagon Purus has received an order from a Polish bus manufacturer for high-pressure hydrogen systems that will be used to make buses with fuel cells. Type 4 cylinder-based fuel systems made by Hexagon Purus will help this new customer speed up the introduction of fuel-cell buses in Europe. The hydrogen fuel systems will come from the Hexagon Purus plant in Kassel, Germany. The order is worth about EUR 930,000. (NOK 9.3 million). “The order is testament to our technology and confirms our strong position with European bus OEMs as supplier of high-pressure hydrogen fuel systems,” says Michael Kleschinski, Executive Vice…

With the help of CMB.TECH and the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, Namibia’s first green hydrogen production plant was launched. It will be built in the Erongo region, a demonstration center for hydrogen applications. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022 and be completed by the end of 2023. A larger production facility, possibly fueled by ammonia, may be built in a second phase based on the results of the demonstration plant. Together with CMB.TECH, the O&L Group is launching Cleanergy Namibia as a joint venture to build a green hydrogen production plant and demonstration hub in Namibia. This is…

Elix Aviation Management provided Universal Hydrogen with a Dash 8-300 as its first test aircraft. Additionally, Elix has signed a letter of intent with Universal Hydrogen to acquire ten conversion kits for the current and future Elix leased fleet as the lessor introduces new decarbonization technology. Elix has signed a letter of intent to purchase ten conversion kits from Universal Hydrogen for use in its current and future turboprop aircraft fleet. This ten-unit order from Universal Hydrogen allows Elix to choose any combination of Dash 8-300 or ATR 72-500/600 conversion kits. “Collaborating with Universal Hydrogen is a continuation of our…

Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS), the global authority on hydrogen safety and training, has added Jackson, Mississippi-based Hy Stor Energy to its membership roster. Renewable hydrogen is being developed and advanced at scale in the United States by Hy Stor Energy. “Hy Stor Energy’s understanding of the vital role hydrogen safety plays in global decarbonization and the greater energy transition makes them a powerful addition to our community,” said Nick Barilo, executive director, CHS. “We look forward to Hy Stor’s contributions to CHS and seeing their impact on the global energy transition.” In order to address hydrogen safety issues and…

CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines, has signed a partnership agreement with Airbus to collaborate on a hydrogen demonstration program that will take flight around the middle of this century. The program’s goal is to test a hydrogen-powered direct combustion engine on the ground and in the air in preparation for a zero-emission aircraft to enter service by 2035. Using a flying testbed equipped with liquid hydrogen tanks from Airbus facilities in France and Germany, the demonstration will take place. As part of the hydrogen propulsion system development, Airbus will oversee flight testing and…

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Advent Technologies and Electric Ship Facilities (ESF). ESF has agreed to become a distributor of Advent’s SereneU fuel cell products in the future, bolstering its portfolio of CO2 reducing technologies. Initially, the Benelux, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria will be the focus of this new collaboration, allowing Advent to facilitate fuel cell trials and configurations for land-based and maritime applications. Per Arild, Advent A/S Director of Marketing and Business Development, said “ESF will help us create demonstrations that will effectively showcase the true potential of methanol-based fuel cell solutions as an efficient…
