Japan has recently unveiled its first hydrogen dual-fuel tugboat under the aegis of the “Zero Emission Ships Project” funded by The Nippon Foundation. This innovative initiative stands as a testament to Japan’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions in its shipping industry. The tug heralded as a pioneering marvel, is equipped with a robust hydrogen dual-fuel internal combustion engine designed to maintain operational efficacy parallel to conventional fuel systems. The vessel showcases not just technological advancement but also addresses the critical issue of emissions to curtail carbon dioxide output by approximately 60 percent compared to traditional tugboats. Manufactured by Tsuneishi Shipbuilding,…

Hyundai’s determination to explore hydrogen as an alternative fuel source is renewing its vigor in Australia with the approaching second-generation Hyundai Nexo hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). This model, expected to arrive in the first half of 2026, intends to captivate the market with extensive upgrades in powertrain and design, which includes an aesthetic nod to classic American crossovers, reminiscent of the Pontiac Aztek. Sporting a significant power upgrade from 135kW to 190kW, the new Nexo drastically reduces its 0-100km/h acceleration time to 7.8 seconds. This leap forward is crucial in attracting a segment of car enthusiasts seeking both…

Linde GmbH has filed a patent for an innovative method for compressing and providing gases, specifically hydrogen. This method introduces a comprehensive approach that enhances gas compression efficiency and addresses cooling needs in the process. The Role of Compression Devices In this patented method, gas is initially obtained and then compressed using a compression device that may incorporate one or more compressor stages. This staged approach to compression ensures a systematic buildup of pressure necessary for further storage or utilization. The compressed gas is subsequently directed to a storage and/or pressure regulating system, making it readily available for several applications.…
