TPP “Bobov dol” was granted permission to build a photovoltaic park for the generation of renewable hydrogen. The facility can run on this fuel with no worry about polluting emissions. The facility now runs on coal and biomass, although efforts are underway to broaden its fuel base. A thermal power plant slag dump near the town of Kamenik will become a photovoltaic park covering an area of around 1,400 decares. The solar panels, supporting structures, and other components required have all been ordered from the chosen provider. The shipments will start in the month of November. By 2025, the entire…
Indiana and seven other states are working together to grow the hydrogen industry’s consumer base, supply network, and available workforce. The governors have signed the Midwest Hydrogen Coalition Memorandum of Understanding to increase hydrogen generation in the region. Increases in hydrogen production can have many positive effects on society, as outlined in the MOU. These include assisting existing firms in remaining competitive and inspiring the launch of entirely new ventures. Other states include Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Using a multi-state and multi-sector approach, the alliance nations will coordinate the construction of a regional hydrogen ecosystem over…
Smoltek Nanotech’s Hydrogen business department has achieved tremendous progress on their 2022 electrolyzer cell material. Smoltek plans to produce a high-performance cell material for electrolyzers, which split water into oxygen and fossil-free hydrogen using renewable electricity. Smoltek’s carbon nanofiber-based cell material is intended for the anode side of PEM electrolyzers, a market developing exponentially due to global expenditures in green hydrogen production. The three-dimensional structure of the cell material boosts current density, reducing electrolyzer size by a factor of three and iridium usage by 80%. This makes it cheaper to develop additional hydrogen plants, which is vital for the expansion…
At the ‘IAA Commercial Vehicle Fair’ in Germany, Bosch debuted several new technical solutions for the powertrain sector of commercial vehicles. The business demonstrated both a hydrogen fuel cell and an engine that burns hydrogen directly. Bosch has stated that it is allocating around 3,400 research staff members to study the powertrains of commercial vehicles of the future. The business has stated their intention to manufacture enough hydrogen fuel cell systems for roughly 40,000 commercial vehicles by the year 2025. It is doing so by constructing fuel cell production facilities in the USA, China, and Germany, in addition to making…
Verdagy, a pioneer in scaling electrolyzer technologies for industrial applications, established the commercial efficacy of its unique water electrolysis technology, eDynamic. Verdagy is constructing the world’s largest membrane-based electrochemical cells to reduce hydrogen production costs. Recent pilots prove the technology’s resilience and scalability. Green hydrogen is gaining popularity as a way to satisfy decarbonization targets and combat climate change. It offers an alternative, low-carbon energy source, with an industry-wide goal of the lowest cost/kg. Verdagy’s eDynamicTM approach is designed to swiftly modify operating parameters to integrate well with renewables and capture the most effective input energy pricing. Verdagy has solved…
The maritime industry now has access to hydrogen-based shore power thanks to a collaboration between PSW Power & Automation, Westgass Hydrogen, CCB, and H2 Production. This week, the Equinor-chartered Havila Foresight participated in a pilot of the technology developed by PSW at CCB’s shipyard in gotnes. Supply ships, cruise ships, oil rigs, and aquaculture facilities can all benefit from PSW’s technology because it can handle their massive data loads. By using clean hydrogen as fuel, fuel cell generators may produce significant amounts of electricity that can either be added to or consumed independently of the local power system. Diesel generators…
The Horizon Europe consortium is helping fund the OVERLEAF project, which aims to create a new liquid hydrogen storage tank for emission-free flights. The goal of the project is to construct a liquid hydrogen storage tank for use in aircraft so that emission-free flight becomes a practical possibility. Aciturri Engineering is leading a team of ten people from six different European nations on this project. One of the most essential ways to accomplish this in numerous forms of transportation, including air travel, is through the use of propulsion driven by hydrogen. If hydrogen fuel cells were used to power airplanes,…
Together with the Korea Hydrogen Industry Association (KHIA), Emerson Korea created a hydrogen town in Ulsan Metropolitan City to reinvigorate the hydrogen economy. Towards that end, Emerson Korea and the Korea Hydrogen Industry Association have agreed to work together under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding. By collaborating on the Ulsan hydrogen town development project, Emerson Korea and the Korea Hydrogen Industry Association will increase the implementation and supply of hydrogen-based sustainable energy infrastructure. Hydrogen Town, a proposed metropolis where hydrogen fuel cells provide most of the city’s energy needs, is part of a larger effort to enhance city…
Swietelsky Rail Benelux B.V. was awarded the contract to build a new pipeline strip along the Moezelweg by the Port of Rotterdam Authority following a European bidding procedure. The project is an important milestone in the development of energy transition infrastructure. The pipeline strip will house hydrogen and carbon dioxide transport pipes for HyTransPort.RTM and Porthos. Improving service along Moezelweg in the Europoort region will necessitate the relocation of the current trunk line, the construction of an earth retaining structure, and the excavation of a portion of the embankment. Six or seven wires and pipes will fit in the new…
