During the CES summit, Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) joined Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI) and GTI in announcing their partnership in launching DMI’s first hydrogen drone technology. DMI’s DS30 drone system, powered by SoCalGas and GTI, will fly for up to 120 minutes and carry up to 11 pounds of payload, making it the best fuel cell powerpack performer available. One flight of the DS30 can monitor a 1-mile pipeline powered by hydrogen. The DS30 drone will be used by SoCalGas to assist with pipeline inspections. Drones can help improve pipeline system maintenance by providing high-resolution imagery and aerial mapping services.…

Hydrogen’s potential for utility companies is clear: It produces only water or vapor when burned, with no emissions of any kind of greenhouse gas.

Everfuel, DRIVR, and Toyota have agreed to work together to expand the market for fuel-cell taxis. The parties have agreed to work together for five years to increase the number of fuel-cell taxis in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over 100 Toyota Mirai hydrogen cars are currently operating as taxis in Copenhagen for the Danish taxicab company DRIVR. The three companies have a shared goal of reaching 500 Mirais in Copenhagen by the end of 2025, and more than 200 by the end of 2022, contributing significantly to the city’s decarbonization. All three parties have a concept in place, and they are looking…

The UK government’s ambitions to champion hydrogen production in its low-carbon economy were expressed in the Net Zero Strategy and Hydrogen Strategy, both of which were published in 2021. The ambition was announced in these policy documents to build five gigawatts of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, and that “Scotland has a key role to play in the development of a UK hydrogen economy,” leveraging its renewable energy strengths and carbon capture potential. The North Sea Transition Agreement also emphasized the importance of hydrogen, as well as the possibilities for green hydrogen production. The Committee will look into both…

JERA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have been informed that their grant application for a project to develop and demonstrate a technology to increase the ammonia co-firing rate at coal-fired boilers has been approved through the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization’s Green Innovation Fund program. Hydrogen can be transported and stored efficiently and cheaply using ammonia. When it comes to producing heat, it can be either a carrier for energy or used directly as a fuel in the process. Ammonia, a fuel that doesn’t produce any carbon dioxide when burned, could have a significant impact on lowering greenhouse…

In order to produce hydrogen and ammonia with no emissions, Enova has allocated NOK 1 billion to three projects. Some of the money will go to Tizir Titanium and Iron (TTI), Yara and Horisont Energi projects. Funding will be provided for Yara’s pilot project at the Heroeya plant in Norway to produce emissions-free hydrogen and ammonia. In addition, Horisont Energi will receive funding for a project to produce carbon dioxide-free ammonia in the Barents Sea. TTI’s Tyssedal smelter, which creates titanium slag and ultra-pure iron, will use hydrogen instead of coal for the final piece of funding. Enova’s mission is…

The Go-Ahead Group has signed a 15-year hydrogen supply agreement with Air Products, a global industrial gas company, to power a fleet of fuel cell buses that will be deployed near Gatwick Airport, Crawley, and Horley. The single-decker GB Kite Hydroliner buses will be delivered in June 2022 by Wrightbus of Northern Ireland. They will be the company’s first hydrogen-powered buses, joining a fleet of over 6,000 buses. The hydrogen used to power the buses is expected to meet or exceed UK government standards for sustainable public transportation fuel. Hydrogen will be stored in liquid form at the Metrobus Crawley…

Sunfire and its affiliated partners from industry and research are receiving grant funding from the federal government to prepare for the serial, automated production of alkaline and SOEC electrolyzers. Green hydrogen has evolved from a contentious “new hope” to a fixed building block of the energy transition, thanks to its potential for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries. It’s no surprise, then, that demand for electrolyzers, which use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen, is skyrocketing. Installed capacity in the EU alone is expected to increase from 0.2 GW to 40 GW by 2030, according to the plans. Sunfire, one of the…

Kisun Chung, CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, presented “Future Builder” as the Group’s future vision during a press conference at CES 2022, the world’s biggest tech show. At the press conference, CEO Chung said, “I am proud of the past 50 years of HHI Group, which has laid the groundwork for the growth of the world. In the next 50 years, we will become the world’s best “Future Builder” and create new growth that is more sustainable, smarter, and more inclusive, something we have never seen before.” CEO Chung’s presentation was followed by the presentations about the visions and…

Deutsche Bahn plans to replace all of its 1,3000 diesel locomotives with hydrogen-powered trains by 2050. This is the goal of the H2goesRail project, which aims to pioneer clean transportation. Green Hydrogen Systems has confirmed that it will supply electrolysis equipment to H2goesRail. The Siemens train will be fueled with hydrogen using a GHS HyProvide A90 electrolyser with a 0.5MW output. Once the electrolyser site is completed in 2024, a green hydrogen production capacity of approximately 71,000 kilograms per year is expected.
