During the period of January through August, Hyundai Motor of Korea outsold its Japanese rivals to lead the world in hydrogen car sales. In a statement, SNE Research cited data from the Global FCEV Monthly Tracker to report that Hyundai Motor sold 7,410 hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in international markets over the course of the eight-month period, an increase of 26% from the 5,873 units sold during the same period last year. According to the statement, the manufacturer of the Nexo hydrogen model had close to 60% of the market for hydrogen-powered vehicles worldwide in the first eight months.…

One of the biggest hydrogen value chain investment funds in the world has added CMA CGM Group as a new industrial stakeholder. CMA CGM has joined Hy24 as a key industrial investor, and the two companies have announced the closure of €2 billion ($1.94 billion) in allocations in the Clean H2 Infra Fund, the world’s first and largest infrastructure fund to invest in the complete clean hydrogen chain. The fund aspires to contribute to the decarbonization of the global economy by concentrating on scaling up proven hydrogen solutions for mature infrastructure assets. Hy24 hopes to mobilize up to €20 billion…

The large-scale industrialized zero-emission electro-hydrogen unit from EODev, the GEH2 from Generac, will be made available on the North American market thanks to the distribution agreement between Generac Power Systems and EODev. This distribution agreement shows the market’s continuous expansion for low-carbon power generation alternatives as well as developments in lowering the use of fossil fuel-powered generators. This partnership further underscores the strategic focus of Generac Powering A Smarter World and increases EODev’s market penetration in North America by utilizing its cutting-edge electro-hydrogen unit. A first order for GEH2 electro-hydrogen units was placed by Generac, and some of them have…

Hyster Company tests an HFC-powered container handler at Fenix Marine Services in the Port of Los Angeles. The Hyster H1050-1150XD-CH top-pick container handler is powered by two 45kw hydrogen fuel cells from Hyster-Yale Group subsidiary Nuvera. A 2018 California Climate Investments grant helped build the HFC-powered container handling. The HFC-powered top pick provides the zero emissions of a battery electric option with enough capacity to keep operators going and prevent the need to refuel or recharge mid-shift. Refueling the top pick with hydrogen filling should take 15 minutes and deliver eight to 10 hours of continuous operating time while producing…

A floating wind-to-hydrogen project off Aberdeen has been awarded front end engineering and design (FEED) work to Principle Power. Plans for Dolphyn, or Deepwater Offshore Local Production of HYdrogeN, created by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), call for the building of a demonstrator project that can generate green hydrogen from saltwater at scale utilizing floating offshore wind power. Based on Principle Power’s WindFloat technology, the project employs a modular design to connect electrolyser facilities and a wind turbine on a moored semi-submersible platform. ERM earlier stated that it planned to place the unit 15 km off Aberdeen and use a design…

HyAxiom and Shell have agreed to use a solid oxide fuel cell created by HyAxiom to power liquefied natural gas carrier. This will examine the technology’s capacity to reduce carbon emissions from maritime transport, a field that is crucial to trade and global economies but is regarded as difficult to regulate. A vessel powered by a HyAxiom-developed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) would be launched in 2025, according to the agreement between Shell, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), DNV, and Doosan Fuel Cell (DFCC). HyAxiom will design and develop the SOFC Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for long-range maritime demonstration,…

Cepsa and the Port of Rotterdam will create the first green hydrogen supply network between southern and northern Europe, connecting Rotterdam and Algeciras, two of Europe’s major ports. Through hydrogen carriers like ammonia or methanol, Cepsa intends to transport hydrogen produced at its San Roque Energy Park close to the Bay of Algeciras to the Port of Rotterdam. While the Port of Algeciras is the first in Spain, fourth in Europe, and a crucial commercial route between Europe and Asia, Rotterdam is the most significant energy port in Europe, handling 13% of the continent’s energy consumption. The Port Authority and…

The hydrogen plant of the Francisco I. Madero refinery, which Enrique Pea Nieto sold for $32.5 million to German business Linde in 2018, will be recovered by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Pemex’s infrastructure was dismantled through a cooperation with Linde, who supplied hydrogen. Linde agreed to operate a 42-million-cubic-foot-per-day facility at the Francisco I. Madero Refinery. The state’s productive firm would provide the entire operational structure. Potential hydrogen suppliers to the Cadereyta and Madero refineries evaluated technical and economic bids at the end of 2017. Both operations might earn Pemex 134 million dollars directly. Pemex signed a 20-year agreement with…

Activities for the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems for heavy-duty applications have been started by Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corporation, Impact Clean Power Technology, and ITOCHU Plantech. By utilizing Toshiba ESS’s polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stack, which has exceptional durability and stability, the parties have researched the development of a hydrogen fuel cell system for buses based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the three parties that was reached last year. Polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stacks from Toshiba ESS have already been delivered to Impact, who will now begin testing and verifying a hydrogen fuel cell…

At this month’s Bauma Munich, the components product division of Liebherr will exhibit two prototypes of its hydrogen engine for tomorrow’s building sites. Direct injection (DI) and port fuel injection are two separate hydrogen injection systems used by each prototype (PFI). Combustion engines won’t run on fossil diesel exclusively in the foreseeable future. By 2050, it will be necessary to switch to fuels derived from renewable energy sources. One of them is green hydrogen since it is a promising carbon-free fuel that burns within internal combustion engines without emitting any CO2 (ICE). Additionally, Liebherr’s proficiency in ICE development may hasten…
