BLG LOGISTICS has installed 37 fuel cell industrial trucks at the BMW Group factory in Leipzig. They will refuel at the fourth on-site hydrogen filling station, which began operations in May to coincide with the Central Germany Hydrogen Summit. The BMW Group in Leipzig is supplied by the globally active logistics organization established in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The move contributes significantly to BMW’s objective of a “green plant” with zero-carbon output. Green hydrogen is regarded as a critical component for meeting the Paris climate targets. It can store renewable energy and transform it into power and heat…

Air Products and Cummins have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on accelerating the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Cummins will offer hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrains fitted into heavy-duty trucks from selected OEM partners for Air Products as the company begins the process of converting its global fleet of distribution vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. After a successful demonstration and pilot phase, Air Products intends to convert its global fleet of around 2,000 trucks to zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Cummins and Air Products anticipate that the demonstration phase…

Following the government’s recent commitment to phase out the sale of new non-zero emission heavy goods vehicles by 2040, subject to consultation, NanoSUN has launched its research and development project to design and develop a cost-effective process for rapid refueling of hydrogen road freight vehicles. NanoSUN, a company that specializes in high-pressure, mobile, and cost-effective hydrogen refueling solutions, has previously successfully eliminated compressors from its refuellers. Because compressors are expensive and unreliable, their deletion has resulted in a significant reduction in the cost of refueling stations. Now, having just received essential funding of more than £170,000 from the Department of…

Shell China and Shanghai Electric have agreed to collaborate on green hydrogen development. The agreement gives the companies permission to explore carbon capture and storage facilities in order to reduce emissions from traditional grey hydrogen generation. Both firms will collaborate to bring significant green hydrogen and CCS initiatives to completion by leveraging their respective strengths in technology, resources, personnel, and marketing. Shanghai Electric, which wants to run 3000 hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the Yangtze River Delta region of China’s east by 2025, is eager to tap Shell’s expertise in managing and maintaining hydrogen-powered vehicles and hydrogen refueling stations.

DRONE VOLT, an expert in on-board artificial intelligence and a producer of professional civilian drones, has signed a non-binding Letter Of Intent with the Estonian business SKYCORP for the implementation of a technology and financial collaboration.

Phoenix Tankers and MOL Group have signed a contract with Namura Shipbuilding for the construction of two VLGCs to transport LPG and ammonia. The vessels that will run on LPG are scheduled to be delivered in succession after 2023 as part of a technical collaboration with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding. In comparison to fuel oil, LPG can cut CO2 emissions by around 20% and SOx, PM, and other pollutants by about 90%. “We’re still on our way to becoming a low-carbon society,” MOL said.

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy has chosen to support a collaborative initiative involving Southern Company Gas, Electro-Active Technologies, and T2M Global to create a technology for producing clean hydrogen from waste.

Walter Tosto has joined the “European Clean Hydrogen Alliance,” a project launched by the European Commission to provide the groundwork for the development of hydrogen-production technology derived from renewable or low-carbon sources. The European Union intends to assume global leadership in the sector by bringing together the continent’s most important industrial and financial players around working tables and periodic forums, with the goal of maintaining its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, as required by the European Green Deal. The EU predicts that an expenditure of roughly €430 billion will be required to pursue concrete targets for the production…

Endress+Hauser has joined the Green Hydrogen Coalition as a sponsor (GHC). The company has made a donation to the organization and has pledged to support the GHC’s objective of using green hydrogen at scale to speed multi-sector decarbonization.
