In order to produce hydrogen and ammonia with no emissions, Enova has allocated NOK 1 billion to three projects. Some of the money will go to Tizir Titanium and Iron (TTI), Yara and Horisont Energi projects. Funding will be provided for Yara’s pilot project at the Heroeya plant in Norway to produce emissions-free hydrogen and ammonia. In addition, Horisont Energi will receive funding for a project to produce carbon dioxide-free ammonia in the Barents Sea. TTI’s Tyssedal smelter, which creates titanium slag and ultra-pure iron, will use hydrogen instead of coal for the final piece of funding. Enova’s mission is…

The Go-Ahead Group has signed a 15-year hydrogen supply agreement with Air Products, a global industrial gas company, to power a fleet of fuel cell buses that will be deployed near Gatwick Airport, Crawley, and Horley. The single-decker GB Kite Hydroliner buses will be delivered in June 2022 by Wrightbus of Northern Ireland. They will be the company’s first hydrogen-powered buses, joining a fleet of over 6,000 buses. The hydrogen used to power the buses is expected to meet or exceed UK government standards for sustainable public transportation fuel. Hydrogen will be stored in liquid form at the Metrobus Crawley…

Sunfire and its affiliated partners from industry and research are receiving grant funding from the federal government to prepare for the serial, automated production of alkaline and SOEC electrolyzers. Green hydrogen has evolved from a contentious “new hope” to a fixed building block of the energy transition, thanks to its potential for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries. It’s no surprise, then, that demand for electrolyzers, which use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen, is skyrocketing. Installed capacity in the EU alone is expected to increase from 0.2 GW to 40 GW by 2030, according to the plans. Sunfire, one of the…

Kisun Chung, CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, presented “Future Builder” as the Group’s future vision during a press conference at CES 2022, the world’s biggest tech show. At the press conference, CEO Chung said, “I am proud of the past 50 years of HHI Group, which has laid the groundwork for the growth of the world. In the next 50 years, we will become the world’s best “Future Builder” and create new growth that is more sustainable, smarter, and more inclusive, something we have never seen before.” CEO Chung’s presentation was followed by the presentations about the visions and…

Deutsche Bahn plans to replace all of its 1,3000 diesel locomotives with hydrogen-powered trains by 2050. This is the goal of the H2goesRail project, which aims to pioneer clean transportation. Green Hydrogen Systems has confirmed that it will supply electrolysis equipment to H2goesRail. The Siemens train will be fueled with hydrogen using a GHS HyProvide A90 electrolyser with a 0.5MW output. Once the electrolyser site is completed in 2024, a green hydrogen production capacity of approximately 71,000 kilograms per year is expected.

For the first time, hydrogen-powered buses are transporting passengers on the streets of the West Midlands. Birmingham City Council’s 20 zero-emission double deckers began service on National Express West Midlands route 51 to Walsall via Perry Barr on Monday, December 6, 2021. These are the only hydrogen buses in England outside of London. Birmingham City Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment, Councillor Waseem Zaffar, said: “Birmingham City Council’s zero-emission green-hydrogen bus fleet provides an innovative solution for cities that want to decarbonize public transport. They should immediately improve air quality and help us work towards Birmingham’s target of net-zero…

The US Department of Energy’s Title XVII Innovative Energy Loan Guarantee Program has given Monolith conditional approval for a $1.04 billion loan, which will allow the company to expand its commercial facilities in Hallam, Nebraska. The Olive Creek plant will be expanded by a factor of ten, increasing annual output from 5,000 tonnes of turquoise hydrogen derived from natural gas with low greenhouse gas emissions to nearly 50,000 tonnes. The Nebraska-based company, which was founded in 2012, claims that its methane pyrolysis method produces 0.45 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of H2, though it plans to eventually replace fossil…

Travancore Cochin Chemicals (TCC) is poised to become a major supplier of hydrogen, the future fuel. The government has established a State Hydrogen Mission and announced plans to purchase ten hydrogen-powered buses, signaling a shift away from traditional fuels and toward more sustainable alternatives. According to reports, the Vyttila Mobility Hub will house a large hydrogen dispensing station. The hydrogen dispensed from the hub will be used to power both water transport vessels linked to the Kochi Metro and public transportation vehicles. The TCC currently produces approximately 4.5 tonnes of hydrogen per day, with production expected to increase to six…
