The investigation being carried out by the University of Michigan researchers indicates that one of the areas in which hydrogen has the greatest potential is medium- and heavy-duty trucks traveling interstate roads. The report’s release coincides with a collaboration between Michigan and six other states in the US Midwest to hasten the growth of an H2 economy, encompassing the fuel’s clean production, storage, transportation, and distribution. The coalition of states will cooperate to take the lead in providing fuel for hydrogen transportation. The states also want to set up one or more H2 hubs for further energy production for domestic…

On a road construction project close to Cadiz, the Spanish company Acciona is generating electricity on-site using a hydrogen fuel cell.
Following their merger, EC20 and Opergy will focus on hydrogen and renewable energy solutions in the UK under the Opergy Group name. The move, which is a component of the Opergy Group’s defined growth strategy, strengthens its aspirations in the hydrogen, wind, and nuclear industries. While EC20 specializes on working with developers to connect them with supply chain companies currently active in the UK, Opergy assists businesses with industry insights and solutions and works with energy supply chains, developers, and organizations. Along with Johnathan Renyolds, managing director, Kim Duffy, finance director, and Martin Dronfield, commercial director, Isla Robb, currently a…
Harvard University is researching the use of hydrogen in China’s heavy industry to help it move away from fossil fuels.
In the near future, NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy intends to begin evaluating the viability of storing hydrogen in underground gas storage (UGS) facilities. “We are working on this project. Ukrtransgaz has a number of memorandums with European underground gas storage operators, which have been moving in this direction for several years and have actually come to test the reality of the capabilities of the equipment and reservoir for hydrogen storage,” JSC Ukrtransgaz’s chief engineer, Roman Kokhtiuk. said He claims that although Naftogaz’s plans in this regard were altered slightly by the war, the company has already chosen which of the UGS facilities it…
A 134 million euro ($130.80 million) German initiative to aid BASF SE in the manufacture of renewable hydrogen was approved by the European Commission. This will aid in decarbonizing the methods used to produce its chemicals. “This 134 million euro measure enables Germany to help BASF step up its renewable hydrogen production capacities, thereby contributing to the greening of the chemical value chain and of the transport sector,” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said.
Next month, Women in Green Hydrogen will have its first event in Ireland to add to the conversation on Ireland’s energy transition. Women in Green Hydrogen is a global network of more than 1,000 women working in the industry. The event, called Chorus, will bring together people from all walks of life and from many fields of expertise to discuss the Irish energy industry. It will take place in Dublin on November 21. Sheridan serves as the COO of EIH2, one of Ireland’s first green hydrogen businesses. A contract between EIH2 and the ports of Cork and Amsterdam was inked…
The shipping route connecting Hamburg, on Germany’s northwest coast, and Halifax, on Canada’s east coast, is being decarbonized by the Halifax Port Authority and Hamburg Port Authority. Jens Meier, CEO of the Hamburg Port Authority, and Captain Allan Gray, President and CEO of the Halifax Port Authority, signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Hamburg, which is now in effect between the two port authorities. This partnership focuses on port infrastructure for bunkering as well as the import and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives through the ports of Halifax and Hamburg. To increase the use of green energy on…
The RINA Hellas Classification Society’s Antonis Trakakis, Technical Director Marine, believes that greater use of hydrogen as a fuel will ultimately help the maritime industry achieve its aim of lowering emissions by 2050.
Progressus and Alkaline Fuel Cell Power (AFCP) have signed a letter of intent to work together on a joint venture pilot project to find a way for natural gas utilities to directly power both residential and commercial buildings.
