New research published by the Energy Networks Association (ENA) says that renewable hydrogen produced by Britain’s world-leading wind farm fleet and stored in abandoned oil and gas fields can help avoid future winter energy supply shortages.

We talked to Ruben Creus, a serial entrepreneur with a passion and drive to create a zero-emission vehicle.
An industrial facility in Chile’s Punta Arenas region will produce almost CO2-neutral fuel (eFuel) in partnership with Porsche and Siemens Energy, as well as a number of other international firms. On this historic day, Chile’s Energy Minister Juan Carlos Jobet presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for this ground-breaking project. When it’s completed in 2022, the Chilean Patagonia pilot plant is planned to produce roughly 130,000 liters of electric fuel per year. Two stages of expansion are planned, with the first taking place in 2024 and the second in 2026, when the capacity will be roughly 55 million liters. Highly Innovative…
One of Hong Kong’s largest oil and gas companies, Sinopec, is looking for ways to introduce hydrogen fuel to the city’s commercial transportation industry in order to help the government reach its 2050 objective of net-zero carbon emissions. Sinopec which runs 54 of the city’s 179 petrol stations, has lobbied the government to hurry up decisions so that zero-emission fuel can be supplied sooner. Commercial vehicles in Hong Kong are one-quarter as numerous as private vehicles, but Poon estimates that their carbon emissions are 2.7 times higher. Sinopec HK held a lucky draw to reward those who vaccinated against Covid-19,…
A global organization that promotes the safe advancement of hydrogen as a next-generation fuel, the Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS), has announced a partnership with Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, an Arizona-based energy holding company, which is demonstrating its commitment to safety in the energy transition by becoming a member of CHS. Nick Barilo, Executive Director of the CHS, said, “Pinnacle West has a legacy of environmental stewardship and has demonstrated leadership in prioritizing safety in its transition to clean energy. We are proud to welcome them into our community and look forward to supporting them in achieving their goals.” More…
Tesvolt, a maker of battery storage systems, and the Schaper Group are collaborating on a number of “green hydrogen” projects.
Ardian, via its infrastructure business, and FiveT Hydrogen, announced a partnership to create Hy24, an equally owned joint venture.
Rheinmetall, a German company, aspires to be a pioneer in hydrogen fuel cell technology for defense and other purposes. Rheinmetall is a partner in a new Innovation and Technology Centre funded by the German federal government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in a national hydrogen fuel cell effort in Germany. For more than 20 years, the company has been designing and manufacturing solutions for fuel cell systems. Only in the last few months has the company received orders in this industry worth approximately €50 million. Rheinmetall indicated that it will now leverage its knowledge and expertise in this field…
Generally, we would describe an aircraft with fixed wing, large rotor, tiny rotor, tilting fan, dual-axis propulsion, battery, fuel cell, and so on. Beware: If you think you’ve seen every type of VTOL aircraft (vertical takeoff and landing), you may be quite wrong. Soar, which has eight big fans mounted along the fuselage and a collection of smaller fans built into the fixed wing, is under development. But the primary difference between Soar and other range extenders is the Soar powertrain, which uses liquid hydrogen direct combustion to expand the range. When looking at Soar, it would appear that it…
The Port of Rotterdam Authority has strengthened its partnership with DeltaPort Niederrheinhäfen, allowing this set of inland ports in the northern Ruhr area to serve as a regional hub for importing green hydrogen from Rotterdam. The declaration of intent was signed by both sides. Other signatories were German firms Thyssengas, Eon, Nordfrost, and Kreis Wesel, as well as regional development corporation Kreis Wesel. Green hydrogen can play an important part in the energy transition, which is required to satisfy the Paris Climate Agreement’s goals. Germany, like the Netherlands, will have to import hydrogen if it is to fulfill the predicted…
