The BOC and Foton Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop the hydrogen bus market in Australia and New Zealand. The agreement will see the two companies collaborate on the development of operational and commercial hydrogen bus models, including production, storage, and refueling, as well as leasing and maintenance arrangements. BOC will focus on refueling infrastructure as part of the agreement. The vehicles, on the other hand, will be under the management of Foton. In spite of this, manufacturers insist that hydrogen fueling is preferable to electrification for buses because it can be refueled in as little as…

The South Korean government has given the go-ahead for a consortium of industry leaders to develop a liquid hydrogen tank for ships, paving the way for hydrogen to be used in shipping. As a result of a joint effort between KRISO, Hylium Industries, POSCO, and KSOE, AIP has been granted by the Korean register to the four companies involved in developing this critical technology. There are two types of maritime liquid hydrogen fuel tanks that have been certified by the Korean Register, one made of 316L stainless steel and the other made of 316HN stainless steel. Liquid hydrogen storage containers…

For the design, production, and rollout of hydrogen refueling stations, First Hydrogen has established a new wholly owned subsidiary NetzeroH2. With the help of FEV Consulting, the refueling stations will be designed and developed using the best of both worlds: top-tier management consulting skills combined with the deep technical expertise of the FEV Group. FEV’s extensive industry knowledge enables the company to develop practical solutions to some of the most pressing and complex problems facing businesses today. Customers of First Hydrogen vehicles will benefit from the development of the Hydrogen Mobility Refueling Station because it will help them keep their…

Renewable hydrogen produced in Australia is being transported to the Republic of Palau for use in fuel cells and hydrogen fuel cell vessels by Sojitz Corporation, CS Energy, and Nippon Engineering Consultants as part of a demonstration project. Japan’s Ministry of the Environment selected Sojitz’s application for this green hydrogen project to receive subsidies under the ministry’s “Pilot Project for Comprehensive Support Throughout the Whole Hydrogen Supply Chain Abroad,” a financing program that is part of MOEJ’s Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects in FY2021. Over a three-year period, from FY2021 to FY2023, Sojitz and its partners plan to conduct…

Green hydrogen is needed for fuel cells, and TECO 2030 ASA and Gen2 Energy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on those projects. It is agreed that Gen2 Energy will look into supplying green hydrogen to relevant projects, such as ports, offshore fish farms, and other heavy-duty customers, for which hydrogen and power conversion through fuel cells are required. Hydrogen can be transported onboard vessels powered by hydrogen fuel cells thanks to Gen2 Energy’s partnership with TECO 2030 Marine Fuel Cells. Through the “Hydrogen Hub Nordland” project, the parties intend to collaborate on soft funding for maritime…

With the help of a new program launched by the UK government, clean energy source hydrogen can now be produced from renewable biomass and waste. The new Hydrogen BECCS Innovation Program, supported by £5 million in government funding, will support the development of technologies for the production of hydrogen generated via BECCS” (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage). Biomass and waste are used in the BECCS process to generate hydrogen, which is then used to capture and store the carbon dioxide that is released during the process. By using carbon capture technologies to permanently remove the CO2 absorbed during the…

The new federal government, comprised of the SPD, Die Grünen, and FDP, has outlined a slew of measures to combat climate change in its coalition agreement. Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide help to protect the environment in a variety of ways. Hydrogen generated from renewable energy is critical to the energy transition. In light of this, Messer is optimistic about many aspects of the coalition agreement. Air separation and electrolysis require electricity. The coalition agreement’s accelerated expansion of renewable energies is a positive sign in this regard. This is especially true for long-term electricity supply agreements (PPAs)…

Following a successful launch year in 2021, DriveH2, an environmental nonprofit Energy Independence Now (EIN) public service initiative, will amplify its message of a hydrogen-powered future in 2022 through a series of high-profile events and educational programs. “2021 was a highly productive year for EIN’s DriveH2 initiative and the overall hydrogen movement.” said Brian Goldstein, EIN’s Executive Director. “2022 is shaping up to be much bigger. Our team is committed to elevating the hydrogen movement and we are excited about our calendar of supporting events and initiatives this year.” “Hydrogen is poised to play a foundational role in the new…

Cyclum will, through a network of renewable truck stops, dispense biodiesel, compressed RNG, hydrogen, and electricity for EV charging to help commercial trucking transition to more sustainable practices. Cyclum’s proprietary solution can provide all of these fuels reliably and concurrently, filling a market gap. Each station is designed to have a low environmental impact by producing power on-site using RNG turbines and solar panels, as well as using sustainable business practices. Cyclum’s stations will raise the bar for customer experience in the fuel dispensing industry by focusing on a higher tier of customer experience and top-tier amenities. Cyclum is looking…
