The UmweltBank is financing the WUN H2 hydrogen project which began construction in Wunsiedel. One of the largest plants for the production of green hydrogen in Germany is being built in Upper Franconia. The plant should produce up to 1,300 tons of green hydrogen per year. Using the so-called PEM electrolysis process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis) by means of an electric current. The system is operated exclusively with wind and solar energy. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier for the transportation and industrial sectors, as well as a crucial component of the energy transition. The hydrogen…

EDGE Navigation and Ulstein cooperate on an X-BOW container vessel concept design to facilitate green energy power solutions for fossil-free operations. The partners are now in the process of evaluating the use of a modular hydrogen fuel cell solution together with ABB and Ballard Power Systems. “Hydrogen is emerging as the energy carrier of choice across industries so we are happy to collaborate with ABB and Ballard Power Systems for developing a hydrogen fuel cell modular solution to the designs currently being developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. Developing a new efficient design for container vessels incorporating the ULSTEIN…
Chile’s Minister of Energy, Juan Carlos Jobet Eluchans, and the Netherlands’ State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, met in The Hague to exchange views, share national hydrogen strategies, and begin a structured dialogue that will allow common interests and priorities to be identified in order to achieve a partnership for collaboration.
A recently concluded research project at the Technical University of Ilmenau with innovative technologies to increase electrochemical energy conversion for the use of renewable energies was a success.
Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and Johannes Østensjø dy have formed the joint venture business Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime. The goal is to develop and sell emission-free liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)-based shipping applications by 2025, with a commercial product ready for operation. The emphasis is on megawatt-scale on-board LOHC/fuel cell propulsion systems. This will be a particularly safe technique because the hydrogen will be bound to the LOHC. Furthermore, Hydrogenious’ Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier is applicable to traditional bunkering facilities both onboard and at ports. The Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment’s financing agency Enova stated that it will contribute NOK 26…
HanseWerk has acquired a stake in Heide-based Hypion GmbH.
Long reliant on coal to make electricity, Australia is increasingly looking to renewable sources like wind and solar. But generating reliable, renewable power demands shoring up the grid when the breeze won’t blow and the sun won’t shine — and natural gas power is an efficient dispatchable power that can backstop these sources, and help immediately reduce emissions from coal-fired power.
Wärtsilä and Vantaa Energy have signed a collaboration agreement for the pre-engineering and development of a Vantaa Energy Power-to-Gas (P2G) project.
Hydrogen is the latest alternative fuel to have its potential for the maritime industry explored by ABS in its industry-leading series of detailed sustainability whitepapers.
Hyundai Engineering has signed an MOU with six partners on the development of green hydrogen production technologies. The partners include POSCO, the North Gyeongsang Province government, the Uljin County Office, the Pohang Research Institute of Industrial Science & Technology (RIST), and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute.
