RWE and Neptune Energy’s H2opZee partnership awarded a series of technical feasibility study contracts to Siemens Gamesa, as well as H2SEA and Enersea. These will support concept engineering work as part of the project’s feasibility phase. The group hopes to complete the offshore green hydrogen project H2opZee in the North Sea by 2030. The H2opZee initiative was unveiled in February of this year, and the consortium’s development plans are still in the works. A collaborative feasibility study began in June 2022 and is expected to last until the start of summer 2023. The research is part of the first phase…

Bloom Energy is putting in a 240 kW electrolyzer at Xcel Energy’s Prairie Island nuclear reactor in Welch, Minnesota so that the plant may generate hydrogen gas without emitting any harmful gases. The goal of this demonstration project is to provide “rapid and scalable paths” for creating clean hydrogen at a reasonable cost, which will be an asset to nuclear power reactors. Bloom anticipates the electrolyzer’s construction to begin in late 2023, and operation would begin in early 2024. Xcel’s 1,100-MW Prairie Island facility will provide high heat and steam for Bloom’s electrolyzer, the firms said, making it more efficient…

Cemvita Factory will be able to expand its ambitions to create hydrogen using oil-eating microorganisms thanks to tax credits enacted by Congress last month. Recently, Cemvita launched a new company with Chart Industries and venture firm 8090 Partners to deploy the technology to several US oil fields, following successful tests on two defunct oil wells in West Texas’s Permian Basin. The firm claims it can create the clean-burning fuel hydrogen for $1 per kilogram, and it intends to sell it at market prices. A marginal well that only produces one to two barrels of oil per day can produce one…

Mallawa Ventures is planning to build a facility near Chennai, Tamil Nadu, to produce hydrogen fuel cell buses. Company officials have announced plans to build a hydrogen plant and bus manufacturing facility in the Chennai area. Roughly one hundred units per month might be produced at the proposed plant. Over the following eight years, the corporation intends to invest a total of about Rs 8,000 crore. Locating a suitable location for the projected manufacturing near Chennai is under underway, and the company hopes to release its first experimental product within the next nine to twelve months. For its buses to…

To compete in the eVTOL industry, LuftCar is creating HYDROB, a hydrogen fuel cell–battery hybrid propulsion system. If you have a vehicle with a GVW of up to 8500 pounds, HYDROB will provide enough vertical thrust to tow it for up to 500 kilometers. LuftCar will serve as a systems integrator alongside Bosch Aviation and a few other automotive fuel cell firms to create the propulsion system. The research and development for this new technology will take place in the United States, however exactly where is still a secret. The battery’s chemistry and fuel cell type are still being kept…

In a strategic partnership, Linsinger Maschinenbau Gmbh and Loram Maintenance Way will provide Linsinger technology to customers in North America. Loram will now own the Linsinger MG11 Hydrogen, a zero-emissions machine, thanks to the terms of the new deal. The pioneering example of its sort in the international train industry. The CEO of Loram, Phil Homan, has said, “Loram prides itself on satisfying our customer’s rail extension needs. We have admired Linsinger’s technology from afar for years and are pleased to add them to our portfolio. We believe this alliance signals Loram’s commitment to our customers and our planet.” Linsinger…

RWE will be present in the Hydrogen Zone at the Labour and Conservative party conferences. The Hydrogen Zone is an inter-sectoral partnership whose members collectively convey the story of the expanding hydrogen economy in the United Kingdom. British hydrogen technology, such as a double-decker bus, hydrogen boiler, and electrolyser, will be on display in the Hydrogen Zone, with models and visual representations of the country’s most innovative hydrogen initiatives. Hydrogen is investigated in The Zone for its potential to release green jobs of the future, stimulate private investment and economic growth, fortify energy security, and aid the United Kingdom in…

Rheinmetall displayed its recently developed and pilot-phase mobile green hydrogen production and storage device at the Africa Aerospace and Defense Expo. Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM), a South African affiliate of the Rheinmetall Group, offers a complete and modular solution for supplying power to civil, industrial, expedition, and outdoor infrastructure. The platform’s solar charge controllers and as many as 112 solar panels are housed in a shipping container, making it suitable for usage in undeveloped areas without the need for an additional power source. Roughly a year has gone into the development of Rheinmetall’s pilot platform, which features a 4 kW…

The Clean Energy demonstration challenge, spearheaded by the United States, has been granted €28 billion by the European Commission to aid in the commercialization of new technologies and speed up the energy transition. As part of a larger push to reach net zero emissions by 2050, US Vice President Joe Biden launched the clean energy challenge in June, promising $90 billion in public investment from 2022 to 2026. Funding from the EU is provided through the Horizon Europe research program, the Innovation Fund, and InvestEU. Industries that have a hard time transitioning away from fossil fuels include steel production; the…

Air Liquide and Toyota France are teaming up to introduce hydrogen mobility at Paris’s Nuit Blanche 2022. Nuit Blanche will return to Paris for its 21st iteration on October 1, 2022.To be more specific, guests can take advantage of complimentary shuttles between the Charléty Stadium, the Town Hall, and La Villette. You’ll be exploring some famous landmarks in a brand-new Toyota Mirai that runs on Air Liquide’s zero-emission hydrogen fuel. While sales of electric cars have been on the rise, hydrogen-powered vehicles have not kept pace. Some studies, however, have shown its ecological efficacy. Fuel cells provide cars more freedom…
