The SPAETER Group, a steel trading company founded in 1875, has partnered with Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH to produce and deliver low carbon steel under the SALCOS – Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking program.

Holland Shipyards begins second FPS hydrogen-driven vessel refurbishment. The second hydrogen-driven vessel upgrade for local marine transportation service provider Future Proof Shipping (FPS) has been launched by Dutch shipyard Holland Shipyards Group. The shipbuilder has started work on retrofitting the second vessel, FPS Waal, to sail on hydrogen power while the first vessel, FPS Maas, is in the final stages of retrofit. Six Ballard FC WAVE fuel cells, AYK batteries, and an electric propulsion motor were ordered for this retrofit project, and soon the steel cutting for the new technical space will start. Major Korean and American companies join hands…

Nikola Corporation has sold a Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and a Nikola Tre hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle to the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) in Canada.

National Composites Centre in Bristol, U.K., has launched a new composite cryogenic storage tank testing program, which will be used to validate and accelerate design, manufacture, and testing capabilities. The initial testing will involve a linerless carbon fiber tank that is designed for storing liquid hydrogen (LH2). Cryogenic storage tanks are an essential component of hydrogen-powered aircraft set to launch in the mid-2030s. While most designs for storing LH2 have been based on metallic tanks, they tend to be heavy. Composite tanks developed in the space industry tend to be suitable for only single-use applications. Commercial hydrogen aircraft will require…
