The startup Universal Hydrogen, which is constructing a green hydrogen distribution and logistics network for aviation, received a strategic equity investment announcement from American Airlines. The investment supports America’s science-based goals to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2035 and, eventually, its promise to reach net GHG emissions-free status by 2050. With this commitment, American becomes the first U.S. airline to make two direct investments geared at the advancement of logistics for hydrogen distribution as well as hydrogen-electric powertrain technology. By using modular hydrogen capsules that are handled like cargo, Universal Hydrogen’s fuel distribution system avoids the need for additional…

Fund management Hy24 Partners has closed what it claims is the first infrastructure fund in the world that invests only in the whole clean hydrogen value chain, with fresh contributions totaling 2 billion euros ($1.94 billion). The fund was started a year ago, and expanding hydrogen technologies is one of its key goals. Ardian, a private equity business based in Europe, and FiveT Hydrogen, an investor in renewable hydrogen, have teamed up to form Hy24. Although many governments promote “green” or “clean” hydrogen, which is created by using renewable energy to power electrolysers that transform water, the cost of this…

Amp Energy India will install 400 MW of green hydrogen projects using interconnecting modular PEM electrolyzers from Ohmium. Over the following three years, the deployments, which are intended for mid-sized Commercial and Industrial (C&I) projects of 25MW or less, will be installed. Ohmium International creates, manufactures, and uses PEM Electrolyzers. It is a green hydrogen firm. Amp Energy India has created a well-balanced portfolio with 2GW+ of clean energy supply for C&I and utility customers across the country. Currently, it serves 60+ customers from more than ten different industries, including some of the top corporations.

Green hydrogen will be used in a joint initiative between Borealis and VERBUND to create fertilizers, melamine, and technical nitrogen. Green hydrogen holds the key to decarbonizing industrial processes and products, especially in places where electrification is challenging or unattainable. A decarbonization initiative started by Borealis and VERBUND will employ green hydrogen to generate melamine, technical nitrogen, and fertilizers on an industrial scale in a more environmentally friendly manner. The collaborative project, which is being carried out as part of the pan-European IPCEI (Important Projects of Common European Interest) procedure, involves the creation of green hydrogen at a 60 MW…

Project partners UAntwerp, KULeuven, and WaterstofNet are examining if a different technique, based on plasma technology, might produce a more effective approach to convert ammonia (NH3) into hydrogen as part of the HyPACT project. Ammonia is a suitable carrier for the long-distance transportation of green hydrogen, primarily due to its high energy density and lack of CO2 emissions. However, as ammonia is only used in a few industrial fields, the process of “splitting” ammonia back into hydrogen is crucial. The current methods for “thermo-catalytic” ammonia cracking require expensive catalysts and take a lot of energy. Therefore, the three partners in…

By providing a global solution for the production and distribution of carbon-free mobility, GAUSSIN and Lhyfe have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expedite the development of hydrogen mobility at port, airport, and logistics facilities. In order to create a full sustainable transportation solution, the two operators plan to combine the hydrogen-powered GAUSSIN vehicles with the clean, renewable hydrogen produced by Lhyfe. A commercial component of the alliance is to find potential clients in France and internationally who would be interested in such a comprehensive renewable mobility solution for logistics, port, and airport facilities. Using water and renewable energy, Lhyfe…

The clean technology section of Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB), CMB.Tech, has partnered with Volvo Penta to hasten the development of dual-fuel hydrogen-powered options for both on-land and at-sea applications. Since 2017, the businesses have collaborated on pilot projects to modify Volvo Penta engines so they can run on both hydrogen and diesel by using a conversion kit made available by CMB.TECH. In order to create a dual-fuel hydrogen technology that is a low-carbon interim solution until suitable zero-emissions alternatives are commercially feasible, the partnership will be strengthened, according to CMB.Tech. For a limited number of customers, the partnership will fund…

The top manufacturer of fuel cell stacks, HyPoint, has been fully acquired by ZeroAvia. As a result of the acquisition, ZeroAvia now has access to HyPoint’s cutting-edge high-temperature fuel cell technology, which offers the potential to boost the power output and energy density of aviation fuel cell powertrains. ZeroAvia already has unmatched expertise in creating the complete powertrain necessary for hydrogen-electric flight. All 40 HyPoint team members will join ZeroAvia and work at both HyPoint’s Sandwich, Kent, and Kemble, Gloucestershire, R&D facilities. In order to advance ZeroAvia’s rotorcraft business applications and investigate alternative possibilities outside of the company’s primary focus…

The Gotland Hydrocat, the first large-scale, high-speed catamaran vessel powered by fossil-free hydrogen, has been conceptualized by Sweden’s Gotland Company (Gotlandsbolaget). Once the ship is in operation in 2030, the distance and travel time between Gotland and the mainland will both be significantly shorter. The ship is the second in the Horizon series from Gotlandsbolaget. The Gotland Horizon served as the centerpiece of the concept model for the Horizon series, which is based on fast passenger and freight ships and was introduced in 2021. Sweden’s first initiative for extensive, hydrogen-powered shipping of people and goods was the Gotland Horizon. To…

In order to reduce carbon emissions in a variety of transport use-cases, the UK Government has established a £20 million ($22.4 million) competition for business to harness the potential of hydrogen in new transportation projects in Tees Valley, UK. The Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub competition encourages bidders to explore the potential uses of hydrogen in order to develop a cleaner, more effective transportation industry. Innovate UK is organizing a competition where businesses and research teams will work together to figure out how to use hydrogen as a dependable fuel source. Large-scale refueling, guaranteeing buses and coaches can use hydrogen…
