Aviation H2, which is developing Australia’s first hydrogen-fueled plane, has opened its doors to investors through the VCEX online trading platform. Its engineers are attempting to raise $300,000 in order to fund the project’s planning study for the development of a green energy jet engine plane. Aviation H2 engineers are currently evaluating design options based on reliability, environmental impact, efficiency, and weight. The team will present their recommendation on the most commercially viable model to begin building a prototype once their initial testing is completed in March 2022. Dr. Helmut Mayer, the company’s lead engineer and director, believes the first…

In order to produce green hydrogen from waste, a clean energy company H2-Industries has been granted permission to build a production facility in Egypt. To build a 1GW hydrogen production facility in East Port-Said, the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone has given H2-Industries permission. Green hydrogen will be produced by H2-Industries using waste materials like plastic, agricultural waste, and sewage sludge, which the company claims is more cost-effective than other methods of producing green and grey hydrogen. Four million tons of organic waste and non-recyclable plastic per year will be fed into the hydrogen plant at the…
In 2022, Wood Mackenzie predicts that companies and governments will have to fulfill their promises on energy transition technologies such as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and low-carbon hydrogen. This year’s UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) has sparked a wave of announcements about new projects, policies and investment in both CCUS and low-carbon hydrogen, according to an energy consultancy. For CCUS and low-carbon hydrogen, Wood Mackenzie identifies the most pressing issues in 2022. For the first time ever, the number of projects for both CCUS and low-carbon hydrogen saw a significant increase in 2021. As net zero targets increased…
A fuel cell powered by liquid hydrogen has been successfully tested by Ballard Power Systems and Chart Industries. A Chart liquid onboard hydrogen (HLH2) vehicle fuel system was used in conjunction with a Ballard FCmove-HD fuel cell for the test. Chart’s hydrogen testing facility in Minnesota, the United States, was the site of these experiments. Heavy-duty vehicles using Ballard fuel cells will be able to use Chart HLH2 fuel systems, which use liquid hydrogen as a fuel, based on this demonstration. As compared to gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen allows for up to double the range without sacrificing space or payload,…
A groundbreaking program called Breakthrough Energy Catalyst aims to accelerate the development of clean technologies that will help achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. HSBC is investing USD100 million as an anchor partner. Catalyst is a part of the Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy network that aims to help decarbonize high-carbon industries by investing in four climate-critical technologies: direct air capture, clean hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, and sustainable aviation fuel. Power generation, transportation, and heavy industry – all of which must be addressed in order to progress towards net zero – will be dependent on these technologies in the future. Catalyst brings…
Port of South Louisiana and AmmPower have signed a Letter of Intent to explore the feasibility of developing a green hydrogen/ammonia facility at the Port of South Louisiana. To put it another way, PoSL handles more than $57 Billion worth of exports and $18 Billion worth of imports every year. As the nation’s busiest port, with a 54-mile riverfront stretch, PoSL ranks first in domestic trade and second in international trade. This agreement calls for AmmPower to work with PoSL to find a suitable location for the proposed project and to assess the feasibility of constructing a large green hydrogen…
The Institute for Sustainable Process Technology recently showed off a design for a new and advanced gigawatt-scale green hydrogen plant that could be up and running by 2030. If you want to make hydrogen, you can use both alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysis to do it. This is a green hydrogen plant with a lot of power: It can make hydrogen with 1 GW of power. They want to put it in a Dutch port area and run it with wind power from the North Sea. The factory can change how it works depending…
RelyOn Nutec will start using a new training center in Eemshaven at the start of 2023. This center can also teach people how to handle hydrogen at a later date. With this, the company wants to be able to meet the growing demand from both the onshore and offshore wind industries, which are both growing. Eemshaven is a good place for a new training center because it’s near a lot of wind farms in the North Sea. Emmahaven and Groningen Seaports worked together to find a place that was good for both of them. They are going to start building…
Baroness Brown, a former vice chair of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), is one of the members of a new group called the “Hydrogen Policy Commission.” This group will help policymakers as the green and blue hydrogen sectors grow in the UK. In addition to Baroness Brown, there will be senior representatives from the Conservative Party, Labour Party, and Liberal Democrats on the Commission. They will be joined by people who work in hydrogen from the private sector and senior academics from the UK. There will be a report later this year from the Commission about the UK government’s Hydrogen…
Polluting diesel locomotives harms the environment. Testing of hydrogen and biogas engines in Saxony-Anhalt is unique in Europe, with technicians conducting the conversion of engines to hydrogen and biogas. It’s just a big diesel engine, in reality. This test bench in Saxony-Anhalt has a unique drive unit: a hydrogen-powered diesel engine. Installation on a diesel train is the next step. An approximately 15-year-old train from the Hessian state railway will arrive at the end of 2022. When in test mode, it doesn’t have any passengers, but eventually adds them. According to DUH’s priorities, erecting electric rail lines is a priority.…
