With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), it seems like gasoline cars are on the brink of extinction. However, there’s another player in the race towards cleaner transportation that’s been quietly evolving for decades: hydrogen-powered vehicles.

In a significant move for the clean energy industry, Ohmium, a Silicon Valley company, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $250 million to increase the production of machines that can produce clean hydrogen and displace fossil fuels.

Swedish nanotech company, Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB, has recently announced very successful test results for the company’s cell material for electrolyzers, which could bring a breakthrough for fossil-free hydrogen production.

DNV, a global energy expert and assurance provider, has been engaged by Brazilian upstream service provider Ocyan, as an independent third party to qualify the system injecting hydrogen as an additive in the internal combustion engines of drilling rigs.

South Korea to build three hydrogen production bases The ‘2023 Hydrogen Production Base Construction Project’ would boost domestic clean hydrogen production infrastructure, the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy said on the 27th. This announcement recruits operators to build three hydrogen production bases for the Ministry of Industry. One hydrogen production base captures carbon dioxide from natural gas reforming and two use water electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. The water electrolysis hydrogen production base construction project chose Buan, Jeonbuk, and Pyeongchang, Gangwon, last year. Hyundai E&C supervises the Buan water electrolysis project and designs, engineers,…

PASH Global, an impact investor and developer of clean power projects, has joined forces with ERIH Holdings, a diversified global renewable investment company, to create a 50-50 joint venture (JV) that will develop and invest in green hydrogen and ammonia projects.

Norwegian Hydrogen and PEAB K. Nordang AS have signed a contract for the completion of the Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub, which is expected to play a significant role in the production of green hydrogen in Norway.

Rheinmetall, a German technology company, has announced that its Sensors and Actuators division has won a contract for the production of more than 150,000 HRB 1800 hydrogen recirculation blowers.

The aviation industry has been under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, and the European Union has taken a significant step towards meeting its goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050 by reaching a provisional deal on RefuelEU Aviation rules.

DNV, an independent energy expert and assurance provider, has recently expanded its research laboratory in Singapore to include new testing equipment for the safety assessments of hydrogen transport and storage facilities.
