Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have created a new water-splitting process and material that maximizes the efficiency with which green hydrogen is produced. Researchers at Georgia Tech have found that hydrogen is essential for the world’s most important industrial sectors to meet their net-zero emission targets. In the future, green hydrogen could take the place of fossil fuels like natural gas and coal as a means of storing excess renewable electricity at the grid level because it produces no carbon emissions. Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is the primary focus…

The Swiss artist duo GAEG installed a large fuel cell-powered clock in the rock opening at Fuorcla digl Leget, a rock arch not far from the Julier Pass. Time stood still for the people who approached her, slowing down to a standstill first before returning to normal. It became clear that you had a direct impact on the clock as soon as you left and the second hand started moving again. When it came to keeping time, the EFOY Pro fuel cell kept the clock running regardless of the weather. Individual parts for the Felsentor were carried up the pass…

Together with the Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, the New Mexico Economic Development, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources and Environment departments signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop a zero-carbon hydrogen economy not only in New Mexico, but throughout the United States as a whole. To achieve economic prosperity, reach net zero emissions by 2050, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New Mexico at least 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, the MOU leverages their respective areas of expertise to deliver timely, material, and efficient transformation of energy systems. Domestically produced energy is needed now more than…

According to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the rapid expansion of the global hydrogen economy could lead to significant changes in geoeconomics and geopolitics, creating a new wave of interdependencies. Transforming the Energy Landscape: A Geopolitical Perspective New centers of geopolitical influence may emerge as traditional oil and gas trading declines as hydrogen production and use rises, according to The Hydrogen Factor, a new analysis of global energy markets. By 2050, IRENA predicts that hydrogen will account for up to 12 percent of the world’s total energy consumption. Growing trade and targeted investments in a…

According to an executive at Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), the company expects to have the technology to transport hydrogen by ship by 2025. The development by KSOE, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group’s shipbuilding arm, comes amid growing global interest in hydrogen as a cleaner fuel alternative. A significant challenge is keeping the hydrogen chilled at minus 253 degrees Celsius so that it remains liquid while avoiding the risk of vessel parts cracking. Around 20 ships with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters are expected to be built in the decade beginning in 2030, and if demand increases, that number…

The first-of-its-kind hydrogen-blending project in North America is now fully operational and successfully serving the Markham community.

An order of 51 new hydrogen-powered buses made two years ago by Montpellier, a city on France’s southern coast, has been cancelled. The EU was supposed to cover some of the $33 million cost of the order. Despite the lower initial cost of hydrogen buses compared to electric versions, operations would be six times more expensive, according to Montpellier’s new president, according to French media. An electrolyzer, a solar power plant, hydrogen storage facilities, and bus refueling stations were all part of a joint venture between two French companies. However, the city found that the costs of producing, storing, and…

At the thyssenkrupp headquarters in Essen, Germany, one of the world’s leading green hydrogen technology providers unveiled its new brand identity at its Capital Markets Day. At the moment, thyssenkrupp AG is examining how to best develop its hydrogen business, preferring an IPO (IPO). The capital market can assign a market value to the company through an IPO, and the IPO proceeds can be used to fund further expansion. The company’s new name, thyssenkrupp nucera, signifies the beginning of a new era in the hydrogen industry. ‘New’, ‘UCE’, and ‘era’ combine to form the name nucera, which represents the company’s…

Maritime Partners (MP), Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG), and e1 Marine have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a hydrogen-powered inland towboat for use in the United States. Designed to tow barges along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, the Hydrogen One towboat is intended to be used in a massive 14,500-mile waterway network that stretches from the Port of New Orleans. At 6 miles per hour, Hydrogen One will be able to travel for about four days before needing to refuel, covering approximately 560 miles. Its propulsion system will be able to generate up to 2,700 HP…

A green, environmentally friendly Integrated Steel Mill in Mundra, Gujarat, as well as other business ventures, have been agreed to by POSCO and the Adani Group. Up to $5 billion is expected to be invested. Following on from POSCO and Adani’s non-binding memorandum of understanding, the companies plan to work together even more closely at the group business level in order to meet carbon reduction goals in various industries like renewable energy, hydrogen fuel cell technology, and logistics. Both parties are looking at various ways to collaborate and leverage the strengths of each company’s technical, financial, and operational components. A…
