PowerCell Sweden AB has joined the coordinated European development project Camelot in order to accelerate the company’s long-term technological development. The project’s goal is to develop new materials for future fuel cells. Leading research institutions, universities, and industrial companies, such as BMW, are also involved in the project. Camelot has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking, FCH JU, under grant agreement number 875 155, and brings together participants from several European countries. The European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program funds the FCH JU Joint Undertaking. The project’s goal is to develop a new…

A shipyard in Europe is getting closer to launching a one-of-a-kind experimental hybrid vessel that will serve as a floating laboratory for hydrogen fuel cells and other green technologies. Fincantieri announced at the end of 2020 that it would begin construction on Zeus (Zero Emission Ultimate Ship), a fuel cell-powered vessel that would be used to study the performance of fuel cells in natural settings. Fincantieri is one of the most important players in the industry that is focusing on clean energy alternatives. As Europe’s largest shipbuilding group, known for delivering famous superyachts and cruise ships, Fincantieri is one of…

Shell has begun operations at the Zhangjiakou City Transport Construction Investment Holding Group power-to-hydrogen electrolyser, a joint venture between Shell China and Zhangjiakou City Transport Construction Investment Holding Group. In Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, China, one of the world’s largest hydrogen electrolysers1 began producing green hydrogen today. During the Winter Olympic Games, which begin on February 4, 2022, the electrolyser will provide about half of the total green hydrogen supply for fuel cell vehicles at the Zhangjiakou competition zone. “The electrolyser is the largest in our portfolio to date and is in line with Shell’s Powering Progress strategy, which includes plans…

Hinet Sangju, a hydrogen charging station in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, has begun operations. The Hinet Sangju off-dash hydrogen charging station, built by Hydrogen Energy Network, has also given the green light to reviving the hydrogen economy in Gyeongbuk Province. The Hynet Sangju off-campus hydrogen charging station is the first result of a December 2020 agreement between Hynet and Gyeongsangbuk-do, Sangju, Gumi, Gyeongju, and Gyeongsan to build a hydrogen charging station. Sangju Odap Hydrogen Charging Station, operated by Hinet, is located near Sangju IC and is expected to significantly improve the driving convenience of hydrogen car drivers in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Furthermore, drivers of…

Nikola’s hydrogen-powered trucks have made their way “to their new homes.” This stage implies that the vehicles will be tested not only by Nikola’s engineers, but also by customers who will put these FCEVs through their paces in real-world scenarios. Given that these clients will do so in order to eventually purchase these trucks, they tend to be very critical of the new Tre FCEV. Nikola promised to reveal more information about the trucks at a later date, most likely when their development is finished and they are ready to be sold. This is expected to occur by 2023. Initially,…

The European Commission’s “European Alliance for Pure Hydrogen” has added Glavbolgarstroy Construction Company as a member. One of the key elements in the European Union’s new industrial strategy is the Alliance for Hydrogen Technologies, which aims to deploy hydrogen technologies on a large scale by 2030. As part of the EU’s efforts to achieve industrial leadership, the initiative, which will be launched in July 2020, will actively work to accelerate industry’s decarbonization in order to contribute to the Union’s ambitious climate and energy targets With the goal of zeroing out greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the European Alliance brings together…

CEC Haren GmbH & Co.”Green KG’s H2-Hub Haren” funding project in Haren, Lower Saxony, is being funded in part by H-TEC Systems, a green hydrogen technology company. Haren, Emsland’s “Green H2 Hub Haren” funding project uses two ME450/1400 PEM electrolysers from H-TEC SYSTEMS. The planning firm CEC Haren GmbH & Co. KG and the electrolyser manufacturer H-TEC SYSTEMS both made the announcement. In this case, Westnetz, the electricity and gas distribution network operator, placed the order with H-TEC SYSTEMS. With the help of this R&D project, a decentralized hydrogen production facility can be built. The site will produce green hydrogen…

Yara International has purchased a 24 MW PEM electrolyser from ITM Power and Linde Engineering, which will be the world’s largest. The electrolyser will be installed at a Yara facility in Herya, outside of Porsgrunn. The site produces 3 million tons of fertiliser per year, making it Norway’s largest industrial site. SMR currently provides the hydrogen required for ammonia production (steam methane reforming). Yara plans to begin replacing this grey hydrogen with clean green hydrogen produced through electrolysis and renewable energy. As Yara embarks on its decarbonisation journey and sets an example for the wider ammonia industry, the 24MW system…

At Yara’s ammonia production facility in Herya Industripark in Porsgrunn, Norway, the company signed a contract with Linde Engineering for the construction and delivery of a green hydrogen demonstration plant. The project, which is funded by an Enova grant worth NOK 283 million (announced in December 2021), will show that ammonia produced with renewable energy can reduce carbon dioxide emissions in fertilizer production. Using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology, the project will be realized through water electrolysis, which will produce green hydrogen to partially replace the hydrocarbon-based hydrogen production in Yara’s plant. This will be Linde Engineering’s second 24 MW…

According to the Transgaz’s Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting (EGMS), it was approved that a legal consulting agreement be signed to examine and negotiate terms of membership in both the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund (3SIIF) and the European Hydrogen Backbone on legal, financial, and commercial grounds. Members of Transgaz’s board of directors have approved a legal consulting agreement with the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund in order to analyze and negotiate legal, financial, and commercial conditions for a total of up to $626 million for the development of natural gas and hydrogen transmission infrastructure projects. The legal consulting agreement is…
