In order to reduce global emissions, Australia and India plan new collaboration. Both Ministers signed the Letter of Intent on New and Renewable Energy Technology at the fourth India-Australia Energy Dialogue. The Letter of Intent acknowledges both nations’ commitment. The collaboration will focus on tangible actions and projects like low-cost solar and clean hydrogen production. Dr Alan Finkel AC, Australia’s Special Adviser on Low Emissions Technology, facilitated the deal. the Technology Investment Roadmap and the Long Term Emission Reduction Plan. This new partnership builds on existing low-emission technology partnerships with Germany, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and the UK.

At Takasago Works, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plans to test technology ranging from hydrogen production to power generation. In 2025, it intends to gradually expand related equipment and commercialize products that are 30% co-firing with large gas turbines and 100% dedicated to small and medium gas turbines. On the plant’s grounds, the Takasago Hydrogen Park will be built next to the demonstration facility complex cycle power plant. It is expected to begin testing and demonstration operations of hydrogen production, storage, and combustion technology in gas turbines by 2023. The hydrogen production facility will test and demonstrate next-generation hydrogen production technology, such…

Greater Brighton is investing £25,000 in the region’s plans for a low-carbon hydrogen economy. The Greater Brighton Economic Board (GBEB) approved the funding for Hydrogen Sussex as part of the Greater Brighton Energy Plan, which aims to combat climate change and help the city region become carbon neutral by 2030. The board, which is made up of seven councils, businesses, and universities, aims to pave the way for the transition to cleaner, renewable energy and lay the groundwork for the growth of a thriving low-carbon economy. The work of Hydrogen Sussex focuses on the development of a hydrogen industry that…

After supporting an initial capital raising to fund the planning study for the development of the green energy jet engine plane, investors have clearly demonstrated their belief in Aviation H2’s engineering-first approach. “Hydrogen offers the first true pathway to decarbonising this sector, which excites the market,” Director Dr Helmut Mayer said. Aviation H2 is convinced that Australia has the potential to become a global leader in this industry, which is expected to be worth US$174 billion by 2040. The company intends to accomplish this by developing a cutting-edge method for converting a traditional aircraft into a hydrogen-fueled plane, allowing potential…

Cummins is broadening its industry-leading powertrain platforms to include a variety of lower-carbon fuels. These platforms will use engine blocks and core components that share common architectures and will be optimized for different low-carbon fuel types as the industry’s first unified, fuel-agnostic engines. “Getting to zero is not a light-switch event. Carbon emissions that we put into the atmosphere today will have a lasting impact. This means anything we can do to start reducing the carbon footprint today is a win for the planet. We need to take action now,” said Srikanth Padmanabhan, President, Cummins Engine Business. “Having a variety…

Azolla Hydrogen has been accepted into the Canadian Technology Accelerator, which will represent the Canadian Hydrogen technology sector in Germany, as a high-potential, growth-stage start-up. The government of Germany wants to make hydrogen the foundation of a low-emissions economy in a very big way. Canadian experts in hydrogen and other Carbon Capture, Use, and Storage (CCUS) technologies have a lot of opportunities because of a lot of public and private money. Corporations are looking for new technologies, and hydrogen has been chosen as the most important. Germany is the biggest economy in Europe, but ambitious plans to cut down on…

To be a completely green source of energy, hydrogen must be produced by electrolysis, which requires the use of catalysts. Researchers all over the world are working on better non-metal catalysts, and a group of Japanese researchers has recently discovered one that is particularly effective. Catalysts are required for the electrolysis process to work, and the best current industrial electrodes are made of precious metals such as iridium, ruthenium, and platinum. None of these metals are common, but iridium is one of the most rare elements on the planet, with only ten tonnes produced each year. Asteroids are thought to…

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by Airbus, Snam, and SAVE to promote the use of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier in the airport and air transport sectors. Starting with Marco Polo airport in Venice, which is managed by SAVE, all three companies will share a common strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from airport activities. The collaboration between these companies will span several areas, beginning with future needs and technological options and progressing to the identification of technical and implementation solutions that will be tested in pilot projects before being scaled up. “This collaboration with Airbus…

Northern Regional College will play a key role in Northern Ireland’s first ever Hydrogen Training Academy, which Minister for the Economy Gordon Lyons MLA has officially launched. The new Ballymena-based Academy will assist in the development of a skilled workforce that will be able to fully exploit emerging hydrogen and cleantech opportunities. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is leading the initiative, which has received a £700,000 public-private investment from the UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund, the Department for Communities Covid-Revitalisation Fund, and EP UK Investments. Mel Higgins, Principal and Chief Executive of Northern Regional College, said: “Our staff are…

The partnership between Enel X and Nuova Solmine has taken the first step in capturing excess thermal energy and converting it into electricity without emitting CO2. The goal of the project is to design and build the world’s first Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant in a sulphuric acid production facility. Cogenio, an Enel X partner company, will help pay for the project. “The collaboration with Nuova Solmine is an example of Enel X’s ongoing commitment to raising the level of sustainability of its partners,” said Augusto Raggi, Head of Enel X Italia. “The energy transition requires the creation of new…
