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…

Hydrogen buses in California have already logged more than 5.5 million miles of service. There are 76 hydrogen fuel cell buses on the road in California, and another 76 are in the process of being bought, so there will be even more. SunLine Transit in the Coachella Valley and AC Transit in the East Bay are two of the best in the country at using fuel cell and battery electric technologies to cut down on pollution. There are 21 fuel cell buses on the road now, and five more are in the works. California’s AC Transit has 39 fuel cell…

Offshore Energies UK, the offshore energy industry’s most important trade group, began its next phase on February 14, 2022. It will now be called Offshore Energies UK, and it will help its members in hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and offshore wind. In December 2021, Offshore Energies UK changed its name to Offshore Energies UK after a year-long strategic review was approved by its members. People who belong to Offshore Energies UK will keep making the oil and gas that the UK will need to keep its energy security and jobs and the economy going. Some of the most cutting-edge…

Hydrogen Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jericho Energy Ventures, announced a new initiative to support district heat decarbonization through the use of its groundbreaking cleanH2steam DCC zero-emission renewable-hydrogen boiler. It’s a perfect fit for HT’s District Heat solution, which was recently announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) as a $7.5 million two-year pilot project to reduce carbon emissions and improve district heat system efficiency. District Energy operators can use HT’s DCC hydrogen boiler to explore the Hydrogen Economy while also reducing CO2, SOX, and NOX emissions. HT’s sales team is working with energy thought leaders and first-movers to…

The first shipment of liquified hydrogen in the world is being sent from Australia to Japan. The A$500 million Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) pilot project has reached a significant milestone. For the first time ever, liquid hydrogen will be extracted, liquefied, and transported to an international market by sea. From Victoria’s Port Hastings to Kobe, the super-cooled liquid hydrogen will be transported by the Suiso Frontier. The 116-meter vessel is the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier specifically designed for that purpose. Top energy and infrastructure companies from Australia and Japan were involved in the HESC project including Kawasaki Heavy…

Type 4 high-pressure hydrogen cylinder orders have been received by Hexagon Purus from India’s largest private sector company, Reliance Industries Limited. Hexagon Purus’ first ever orders for hydrogen applications in India will be the hydrogen cylinders, which will be prototypes in pilot projects for automobiles and backup power solutions.. The orders are a first step for Reliance towards establishing themselves as a leading clean energy player and aiding India’s transition to a zero-emission society. As part of a USD 80 billion investment program in clean energy, hydrogen will play a key role in decarbonizing the economy. “We are pleased to…
