In an effort to help the aviation sector meet its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050, Embraer has unveiled a new family of concept aircraft. To better understand energy harvesting, storage, thermal management, and their applications for sustainable aircraft propulsion, the company has teamed with a worldwide consortium of engineering universities, aeronautical research institutes, and small and medium-sized industries. Concept aircraft of diverse sizes and propulsion technology make up the family’s four members: electric, hydrogen fuel cell, dual-fuel gas turbine and hybrid-electric aircraft. The technical and commercial viability of each aircraft is being assessed. Luis Carlos Affonso, Embraer’s Sr.…

The New Zealand market will get 20 Hyzon hydrogen fuel cell trucks ordered by TR Group. 600 horsepower and 58 tons of GCM units will be driven by green hydrogen, with just water vapour emissions. An FMOL (Fully Maintained Operating Lease) will allow clients to lease 20 HFC vehicles, which can remove an estimated 5,000 tonnes of CO2 from our environment each year. The New Zealand Government and Hiringa Refueling New Zealand Limited, who are establishing the fuel delivery network for the trucks, have worked closely with TR Group. Co-funding from the COVID Response and Recovery Fund and the Energy…

Cellcentric, a joint venture firm formed by Daimler Truck AG and Volvo Group AB, is taking the next step in its strategic cooperation with Rolls-Royce to deploy cellcentric hydrogen fuel cell modules. With the help of cellcentric’s fuel cell modules, Rolls-Power Royce’s Systems business unit is working to produce entire mtu hydrogen fuel cell solutions that only emit water vapour. Emergency power generation in data centers will be C02-free and carbon neutral as a result of this. When it comes to backup power, Rolls-Royce is a major provider to data centers throughout the globe. As both Rolls-Royce and cellcentric are…

Two projects funded by the Department of Energy will examine the use of hydrogen fuels to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by the Port of Seattle and Seattle City Light. When it comes to forklifts, trucks, cranes, and other heavy machinery, the initial study focuses on putting up a hydrogen refueling station. The second research explores the risks and benefits of creating a hydrogen infrastructure in the port, which might power cruise and freight ships, as well as land-based cars and machinery. The investigations will be supported by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. “The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA)…

In a first-of-its-kind deployment in Townsville, heavy vehicles driven by renewable hydrogen will be utilized to reduce emissions in the transportation and mining industries. Australia’s ARENA has conditionally authorized $3.02 million in funding to Ark Energy H2 Pty Ltd (Ark) to enable the deployment of a 1 megawatt electrolyser with storage and refueling infrastructure to power five new 140 tonne-rated fuel cell electric trucks. At the Sun Metals zinc refinery in Townsville, operated by Ark’s sibling firm Sun Metals Corporation, a zinc project will be developed (SMC). Korea Zinc Company Limited (Korea Zinc) is the world’s largest producer of zinc,…

Using large-scale wind and solar energy production facilities, Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Jordan’s government are working together to carry out research on green hydrogen production methods. For the first time in Jordan’s history, green hydrogen and green ammonia will be produced in the country, paving the way for the country to become a pioneer in renewable energy generation. The Jordanian Minister of Environment Dr Muawieh Khalid Radaideh said “This is an exciting opportunity for Jordan to become a leader in the green energy sector through the creation and exportation of green hydrogen. “Because of the abundance of both solar…

Fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) in Europe will be equipped with 40 FCmoveTM-HD (70kW) modules from Ballard Power Systems beginning in 2022. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are all using FCEBs. Using Ballard fuel cell technology, the city of Rouen in France is deploying its first fleet of zero-emission FCEBs, while the city of Pau in France is extending its existing fleet of FCEBs. There are now fuel cell buses in service or under construction in four French cities. The number of zero-emission FCEBs driven by Ballard fuel cell technology is also increasing in Frankfurt, Germany. Ballard fuel cell…

Both the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA), two Northeast Ohio-based innovators in future mobility, have announced a collaboration to test intelligent tire sensors and prototype tires on SARTA’s fleet of diesel and zero emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered (HFC) buses, respectively. As a result of sensors installed on the car, Goodyear’s SightLine mobility cloud receives real-time data on tires’ condition. Tire performance and potential vehicle troubles can be spotted early thanks to unique algorithms that analyze the data fast and provide relevant information. For SARTA to cut operational costs, decrease fleet downtime, and…

Brighton & Hove and Metrobus have placed an order for 20 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which will be delivered in June 2022, marking the Go-Ahead Group’s first order of hydrogen powered buses. As part of a deal that could be the largest of its type in Europe, the Go-Ahead Group has inked a contract to purchase its first hydrogen-powered buses. For the Fastway lines in Crawley, Redhill, and Gatwick Airport area, Brighton and Hove and Metrobus have bought 20 Wrightbus hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from Northern Ireland. For the first time in the company’s more than 6,000-vehicle fleet, the GB…

“Project Merida” and an order for a Pre-Study centered on how the Plagazi Process may recycle plastic waste into pure green hydrogen have been announced by Plagazi. In order to protect their identity, the end-customer requested to remain anonymous for the time being. Construction of a Plagazi Process plant can get underway once the Pre-Study is completed in Q4 of 2021. The purpose of a Pre-Study is to help the client determine whether or not a Plagazi Process plant can be implemented within the parameters set out by the client. Pre-Study work serves as the foundation for the Basic Engineering…
