Kawasaki and Toyota have agreed to collaborate on the development of hydrogen engines for future motorcycles, per the terms of a recently inked agreement. Already one of the most forward-thinking traditional manufacturers in terms of creating dependable, long-term replacements for the internal combustion engine (ICE), such as hybrid and electric technologies, it is also pushing forward with advances in hydrogen power. Kawasaki’s investment in hydrogen technology sets it apart from competitors, and the company has shown its dedication to the field by forming a partnership with Toyota, the largest automaker in the world. Because Toyota is already 30 years ahead…

Rheinmetall AG presents complete, mobile modular systems for producing, storing, and transporting CO2-free hydrogen at the Africa Aerospace & Defence (AAD) show in Centurion. South Africa’s fixed and mobile civic, industrial, excursion, and outdoor infrastructure can benefit from the climate-neutral energy security offered by Rheinmetall Denel Munition’s mobile solution. It can function in remote locations with no access to electricity because it generates its own. This innovation is perfect for mobile field hospitals due to its ability to create oxygen simultaneously. Thanks to its expertise in plant engineering, Rheinmetall is well on its way to becoming an energy producer as…

The ambitious European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) has been updated to reflect the increasing vitality and rapidity of developments in the hydrogen sector. The current liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal in Gijón will, according to EHB’s forecasts, become integrated into a more tightly knit hydrogen transmission network across the north of Spain by the year 2030. Belgium’s 2040 plan has been updated to reflect the “more rapid” deployment of pipeline infrastructure. As an added bonus, EHB has revealed in Slovakia that the timeline for building the East-West corridor between Ukraine and the Czech Republic has been moved forward from 2040 to…

Equinix is working with the NUS School of Design and Engineering’s Energy Research and Technology Center (CERT) to develop a method of harnessing hydrogen as a sustainable fuel. Equinix and the California Energy Commission Research Team (CERT) have begun a groundbreaking study comparing Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) with mixed fuel linear generator technologies. Hydrogen energy’s PEMFC is gaining traction as a promising next-generation fuel, and blended fuel linear generators make it simple for businesses to switch between several types of green fuels like hydrogen, biogas, and renewable liquid fuels. These advancements help data centers handle the rising demand…

The Korean National Oil Corporation and Lotte Chemical have agreed to combine their resources to develop a green hydrogen and ammonia business. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Lotte Chemical and Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) was recently announced, with the stated goal of reviving the hydrogen economy at Lotte World Tower. Jointly developing and investing in clean hydrogen and ammonia production abroad; jointly developing and operating hydrogen and ammonia import terminals; and ammonia reforming and hydrogen business development are all areas where Lotte Chemical and Korea National Oil Corporation hope to work together. By investing 6 trillion won, Lotte…

Hydra Energy has started building what it says will be the biggest hydrogen filling station in the world. Constructed in Prince George, British Columbia, it will supply diesel to vehicles traveling between the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Dymin Mechanical of Prince George, BC is Hydra Energy’s first paying customer. Hydra Energy offers hydrogen-as-a-service through hybrid retrofits that, according to the company, reduce fuel consumption by 40%. Over the course of a year, Dymin Mechanical will be responsible for 12 of the 65 vehicles that visit the gas station. The five-acre hydrogen station will generate 3,250 kg of hydrogen…

In regards to future intentions to create routes for express air freight in Latin America and Europe, Flapper has signed a statement of intent with Destinus. To more effectively and sustainably link the world, the companies have agreed to work together on a mission. Destinus will allow for the transfer of precious and essential items at speeds five times quicker than the fastest commercial airplane of today. In addition, the airplane will use hydrogen as its fuel, which will result in zero carbon emissions. About 30 percent of Flapper’s revenue comes from its cargo division, which facilitates the global shipment…

To ensure a reliable supply of electricity in Germany, the German government, Uniper, and Fortum have signed an agreement in principle that would give the government full control of Uniper. After the deal closes, Fortum will be able to dispose Uniper and return its attention to its main business, which is the generation of clean electricity in the Nordic countries. It supersedes the original Uniper stabilization agreement, which the same parties signed in July 2022. Uniper has lost about EUR 8.5 billion on gas alone, and it can’t keep operating as a privately held corporation while still meeting its key…

By 2030, thanks to new US tax credits, green hydrogen-generated electricity will be competitive in price with gas-fired power. One US consulting firm estimates that this is feasible if renewable hydrogen production costs can be kept to no more than $3/kg. As reported by ICF International of Virginia, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of August, which introduced and extended tax credits for clean hydrogen and renewable energy, could make it economically viable to generate dispatchable electricity by burning green hydrogen with combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs). By 2030, a green hydrogen CCGT power station may have superior economics than wind and…

Formerly known as the California Fuel Cell Partnership, the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership now serves the whole United States (HFCP).
