ABB and AFC Energy have signed a Sale and Development Agreement for the purchase of a 200kW hydrogen-powered fuel cell generator following AFC Energy’s progress in delivering on its new high energy dense “S” Series AEM fuel cell technology. Expected to demonstrate market leading energy density from an anion exchange membrane fuel cell housed in a 10ft shipping container, the fuel cell generator. As a matter of fact, the generator will be able to use both ammonia (as a hydrogen carrier) and hydrogen as its primary fuel. Under the Agreement, AFC Energy will receive a total of £4 million. The…

By way of an oversubscribed private placement from new and existing investors, Tevva has successfully raised US$57 million to fit out its new London-based production facility and rapidly scale up manufacturing. As soon as Tevva Truck, the Company’s first 7.5-ton electric truck designed for mass production, was unveiled earlier this month, the company immediately launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the project. The company expects to begin delivering its third-generation vehicle in Q3 of 2022 in order to meet the industry’s immediate need to electrify. Over the next few months, Tevva will complete engineering, testing, and design, as well…

TÜV SÜD, a global provider of testing, inspection, and certification services, has developed a guideline for defining the “H2-Readiness” of power plants and is now offering an independent certification to original equipment manufacturers and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms. TÜV SÜD The certification provides utilities with more assurance when it comes to making investments. When it comes to “H2-Ready” power plants, Siemens Energy is the first company in the world to be certified. Siemens Energy subject matter experts collaborated on the development of the certification guideline. Decarbonization of energy systems can be aided by hydrogen. CCPPs (combined cycle power…

Another two H2 prototypes are being developed by the Hyvia joint venture between Renault and Plug Power, which will begin production in 2022. Prototypes of two hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles have been unveiled. Platform chassis and minibus (Master Platform Chassis H2-Tech) are added to the panel van (Master Van H2-Tech) to form Master Platform Chassis and Master City Bus H2-Tech, respectively. All three models use the same fuel cell technology, but the tank capacity varies. Panel vans have a 33 kWh battery and 30 kW fuel cell, as do the chassis and the minibus. With six kilograms of hydrogen stored…

Plans to help California meet its 2025 goals for electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling have been approved by the California Energy Commission (CEC). California Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order phasing out the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles by 2035 is supported by the state’s plan to close the funding gap for the implementation of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure. $1.1 billion from the state’s 2021–2022 fiscal year and $238 million in program funds are included in an increase of six times the Clean Transportation Program’s current funding level. “This plan charts the path for Governor Newsom’s historic budget investments…

At a time when global efforts to decarbonize are increasing, Poseidon H2 has been launched with the goal of becoming a major player in Australia’s hydrogen-fuelled maritime sector. We plan to use cutting-edge green hydrogen technology in various maritime applications, and we hope this will put the industry on a path towards zero carbon emissions. Hydrogen is a renewable source of energy that can be used by shipping companies around the world. Hydrogen-powered ships and related logistics technologies are in high demand around the world, so the company is taking advantage of this growing market. Hydrogen has been widely hailed…

RPMGlobal’s simulation platform has been enhanced to support hybrid vehicles powered by green hydrogen or hybrid diesel. The hybrid vehicle functionality, developed in collaboration with tier-one miners and mining OEMs, allows users to simulate and test a variety of scenarios, including vehicles that use hydrogen or hybrid diesel. This is especially useful for mining companies looking to decarbonize their operations and needing a way to quantify potential options. RPM’s simulation solutions make use of a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) engine that was custom-built for the mining industry. Organizations typically create a base case simulation to serve as a yardstick against…

As hydrogen assumes a greater role in the future energy mix, global professional services firm GHD is emphasizing its importance, as well as the GCC nations’ potential as leading exporters. GHD leverages knowledge and reputation gained over nearly 100 years of operation – most recently as hydrogen experts and leading advisors in the energy transition – with 200 offices around the world employing more than 10,000 skilled and diverse individuals. GHD is emphasizing its own commitment to the clean energy transition that it believes is necessary, as well as the importance of Middle East players in making goals a reality.…

Hazer Group has provided update on the progress, cost and schedule of the Hazer Commercial Demonstration Project (CDP) being constructed at Water Corporation’s Woodman Point Water Recovery Facility. The Hazer Commercial Demonstration Plant will demonstrate Hazer’s proprietary hydrogen production technology, which converts biogas from sewage treatment into hydrogen and graphite. Construction activities are now fully underway at the Hazer CDP. Structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) and Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) works are advancing with good progress made in the installation of piperacks and piping, cladding and insulation scopes, installation of various mechanical equipment packages (CO2 removal systems, siloxane removal system,…

Further progress has been made in the development of hydrogen-compatible pipe technology by SRJ Technologies Group To meet the needs of the emerging hydrogen industry, the company announced in September a partnership with Curtin University and precision machining firm SixDe to develop new weld-free coupling technology. There is a need for leak sealing and mechanical connectors as well as isolation, repair, and integrity solutions that can handle the challenges of dealing with hydrogen. An asset integrity solution for non-metallic pipelines will also be examined as part of the project’s focus on weld-free coupling proof of concept, manufacturing, and commercialization. Research…
