Hyzon Motors is improving waste collection through an exclusive supply contract with the Geesinknorba Group of the Netherlands. Hyzon, a leading global supplier of zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, announced today that it has agreed to make Geesinknorba its exclusive vendor for zero emission trucks. Geesinknorba already uses zero-emission vehicles throughout Europe, and Hyzon is expected to supply 300 trucks or more during the three-year contract. Annual demand is expected to rise as customers prioritize the decarbonization of waste collection, which will be aided by increased hydrogen availability across Europe. Following the COP 26 Summit in Glasgow, recent announcements…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Refining NZ (RNZ) have agreed to investigate repurposing facilities at the RNZ Marsden Point oil refinery to produce green hydrogen and green hydrogen products. As the RNZ site transitions to an import-only fuel terminal, FFI and RNZ have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to investigate the commercial and technical feasibility of producing, storing, distributing, and exporting industrial-scale green hydrogen and green hydrogen products. FFI will undertake feasibility studies which will assess key operational and commercial projections for the project and enable the development of a project timeline. Dr Andrew Forrest AO, Chairman and Founder of…

The release of the Danish government’s new Power-to-X (PtX) and hydrogen strategy has been eagerly anticipated by the team at Everfuel. The strategy will play a significant role in making green hydrogen competitive and reduce the Danish CO2-emissions. Last night the Danish Government launched their PtX and hydrogen strategy with the ambition of significantly contributing to CO2-reductions in Denmark. As a first step toward becoming a European leader in PtX and green hydrogen and in the transformation of difficult-to-abate industries, the strategy is critical for Denmark. Green hydrogen and platinum tetrafluoroethylene (PtX) are highlighted in the new strategy as critical…

Europe’s three major gas transmission system operators (TSOs), Enagás (Spain), Snam (Italy) and GRTgaz (France), have signed an agreement to collaborate on clean hydrogen projects.

Enova has granted Yara NOK 283.25 million to develop a green ammonia initiative. The Herya ammonia plant in Porsgrunn has now taken its first official step toward decarbonization.

After signing an MoU with Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone to study the development of new green ammonia project, Scatec met with Egypt’s government to discuss its green hydrogen plans. If everything goes as planned, Scatec and SCZone hope to build a large-scale facility that can produce hydrogen from renewable sources, which they call “green hydrogen.” Just two months ago, Scatec announced a firm project to build an electrolysis plant in Egypt with a 100 MW electrolysis capacity for green hydrogen production. The Sovereign Fund of Egypt and Fertiglobe plc, a nitrogen fertilizer producer and exporter, collaborated with Scatec on…

Ukraine will be able to become completely self-sufficient in its energy needs thanks to the development of hydrogen energy. Ukrinform quotes President Volodymyr Zelensky as saying this during a plenary meeting of the Eastern Partnership summit on December 15 in Brussels. According to Zelensky, three of the Eastern Partnership summit’s flagship initiatives are of particular importance to Ukraine. Checkpoints and border infrastructure are the first thing to be modernized in this plan. Ukraine will greatly benefit from the EU’s assistance in this matter. Zelensky emphasized the significance of reaching an agreement on road transport liberalization in this context. Second, says…

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus developed in India by Sentient Labs has been launched. Collaboration with CSIR-NCL (National Chemical Laboratory) and CSIR-CECRI (Central Electrochemical Research Institute) led to the development of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology. Earlier, Sentient announced the world’s first technology for producing hydrogen directly from agricultural waste for use in fuel cell-powered vehicles. This is the latest in a string of initiatives aimed at promoting environmentally friendly modes of transportation. For example, Sentient Labs designed and built the Balance of Plant, Powertrain, and Battery Pack entirely in-house in addition to their hydrogen fuel cell technology. A 9-meter, 32-seater,…

A new green hydrogen refueling station for heavy vehicles has been awarded to Calvera Industrial Group, which will be located in the Comunidad de Madrid. Energy producer HVR Energy has awarded the contract for the supply of service station, which includes storage up to 500 bar pressure, compression system, and dispensers, to a third-party service provider. It’s part of a plan to install fuel cell mobility solutions for heavy vehicles in a large area of Madrid’s urban district. For the fourth quarter of 2021, the company will include the contract’s value, which has not been disclosed. The final trimester of…

Using high-purity phosphate concentrate from Arianne’s Lac à Paul project in the Saguenay–Lac–Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Arianne Phosphate is collaborating with the University of Quebec at Three-Rivers (“UQTR”) to evaluate its suitability for electrolyzers that produce hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells. The proton exchange membrane (PEM) in electrolysers that produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells is the focus of UQTR’s work. The mass production of electrolysers is currently beset by three major issues: poor performance, poor durability, and high costs. In order to address these issues, current research is focusing on using phosphate-based materials in the electrolyser…
