A framework agreement has been signed between Neles and thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers for the delivery of valve solutions for green hydrogen applications. Neles will deliver Neles segment valves to be used in electrolysis plant modules supplied by thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers as part of the agreement. Green hydrogen, or hydrogen produced by extracting hydrogen from water using renewable energy, has been identified as a key component in the clean energy transition. Hydrogen has enormous potential for renewable energy storage, transportation, and increasing renewable energy use in some carbon-intensive industrial processes. More than 30 countries have already announced plans to…

The HYBRIT-initiative is granted support from the European Union, as one of seven large-scale innovative projects under the Innovation Fund. The European Union is in total investing over €1.1 billion into the seven projects. The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programs for demonstrating innovative technologies that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the fact that it was the only iron and steel project to receive funding in the first round of the Innovation Fund’s large-scale project call, HYBRIT will likely attract the attention of other interested parties. The “HYBRIT demonstration project” will replace coal-based…

Bosch has added components for hydrogen tank systems, such as tank valves and pressure regulators, to its product portfolio for mobile hydrogen applications. For this, Bosch formed an engineering partnership with OMB Saleri, an Italian specialist, in which the products are jointly developed. According to Bosch, around one out of every eight newly registered commercial vehicles in the world will be powered by a fuel cell by 2030. Bosch and OMB Saleri are hoping that their new partnership for components for hydrogen refueling systems will help them grow their market share in the hydrogen sector. A licensing and engineering agreement…

Gateway Säve, a new development area in Gothenburg, will include myFC’s partner Nilsson Energy, a manufacturer of turnkey plants for hydrogen production. The former Gothenburg City Airport is now being transformed into a business park that focuses on the future of aircrafts, autonomous and fossil-free vehicles, and flexible logistics. “Nilsson Energy ends up in a perfect environment, where there are many opportunities for synergy effects and development potential,” says Michael Glantz, CEO of myFC. Various plans were put into place when Gothenburg City Airport shut down in 2015. Real estate company Castellum purchased the area and began drawing up plans…

DEUTZ AG is introducing a new reporting structure and the segments ‘Classic’ and ‘Green.’ All activities associated with the development and production of new non-diesel drives will be assigned to the Green segment beginning January 1, 2022. This includes electric drives, Torqeedo, and Futavis, a battery management specialist. DEUTZ’s new reporting structure gives the development of hydrogen-powered engines and fuel cells much more visibility. The Classic segment will include activities related to the development, production, sales, and service of diesel engines. Dr. Frank Hiller, CEO of DEUTZ: “The new segmentation of our commercial operations will, above all, provide the capital…

An agreement has been reached between OPITO, a global safety and skills body for the energy industry, and the Acorn Project and Scottish Cluster to develop a blueprint for industrial skilling and reskilling training for the low carbon economy, according to a statement from OPITO. The Scottish Cluster relies on the Acorn Project, developed by Storegga in collaboration with Shell UK and Harbour Energy. Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage (“CCS”) and Acorn Hydrogen are part of its ambitious program, which will use existing offshore gas pipelines landing at the St Fergus gas terminal to quickly and cost-effectively provide access to…

Swedish engineering giant Sandvik has agreed in principle to acquire German firm Gerling GmbH, a precision tube engineering company serving a wide range of markets—including hydrogen production—in the rapidly expanding sector. Hydrogen refueling stations are equipped with high-pressure control technology as part of the solution. Tube, a division of Sandvik Materials Technology, will be reporting on the company. “With this acquisition, Sandvik Materials Technology continues to strengthen its position by increasing its exposure to growing industries with high potential, an important step to become a well-positioned separately listed company,” says Stefan Widing, President and CEO of Sandvik. In the hydrogen…

It has been announced that Zero Petroleum and the Royal Air Force have completed the world’s first flight powered entirely by synthetic aviation fuel. This is the first flight ever to use 100% net-zero synthetic fuel, according to Zero Petroleum and the Royal Air Force.Zero Petroleum is to thank for this. An Ikarus C42 aircraft took to the skies at Cotswold Airport, where it was awarded the Guinness World Record for “first aircraft powered by synthetic fuel.” The mission is the first step in a joint effort to eliminate the RAF’s entire fuel consumption. Synthetic fuel from Zero Petroleum is…

The German company H2FLY has ordered a total of MSEK 7.2 from PowerCell Sweden. Ordered fuel cell systems are to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022, according to a release. The German start-up of hydrogen aviation It is owned and operated by H2FLY, which made its first flight in 2016 with the HY4 aircraft. Hydrogen electric powertrains for AirTaxi, General Aviation, and Regional Aircraft are the company’s goal. When developing aviation hydrogen-electric powertrains, H2FLY will use P System 100 fuel cell systems. “The interest in hydrogen-electric solutions is growing quickly within the aviation industry and PowerCell has received…
