The first annual Breakthrough Agenda Report, requested by 45 world leaders, delivers a progress report on the actions needed to deliver on the historic clean technology commitment by governments representing two-thirds of the global economy. The Breakthrough Agenda, as the commitment is known, aims to align countries’ actions and coordinate investment to scale up deployment and drive down costs across five key sectors including – power, road transport, steel, hydrogen and agriculture. Together, these sectors account for nearly 60% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions today and could deliver the bulk of the emission reductions needed by 2030 in a…

The United States and Denmark have just signed a partnership deal on green hydrogen, putting them at the forefront of the race to produce the green fuels of the future for automobiles, ships, and planes. In Washington, DC, representatives from both countries signed the “US-Denmark Green Hydrogen Alliance” establishing a formal relationship. The collaboration’s overarching goal is to hasten the introduction of environmentally friendly hydrogen. Both countries’ businesses can gain from this, as they will have a better chance to become pioneers in green hydrogen and Power-to-X. The “Inflation Reduction Act” is a legislative package that has considerably increased the…

Green hydrogen may be produced from low-quality water sources like saltwater and wastewater, and this is the goal of ANEMEL, a new project supported by the European Innovation Council. ANEMEL will spend about €5 million over the next four years to develop efficient electrolysers and speed up the design of prototypes. Of this sum, €2.96 million comes from the EIC. As a whole, the project will speed up the process of bringing the technology to market and using it to its full potential. Knowledge in membranes and electrolysers will be gathered by ANEMEL, with the end result being a prototype…

KKR and the Hero Group have put $450.0 million into the Indian IPP Hero Future Energies (HFE) to fund the company’s growth in renewable energy. The investment, spearheaded by KKR, will set up the IPP for expansion across multiple technologies by 2025, including solar, wind, battery storage, and green hydrogen. The IPP, which began operations in 2012, has a presence in India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Singapore and operates a portfolio of 1.6 GW of solar and wind projects. Ukraine and the United Kingdom are also home to HFE offices.

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are a potential new market for Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen’s air-independent non-flow-through hydrogen fuel cells. The U.S. Office of Naval Research has supported Infinity’s research and development of market-ready technology for this sector for a number of years. Taking this action is the natural next step toward making a marketable product. UUVs are not only utilized by the military, but also in a wide variety of commercial fields, including oil and gas exploration, underwater infrastructure inspection (cables, pipelines, etc.), scientific study, and underwater salvage. The wreck of Robert Shackelton’s Endurance, which went down in the…

Kawasaki and Toyota have agreed to collaborate on the development of hydrogen engines for future motorcycles, per the terms of a recently inked agreement. Already one of the most forward-thinking traditional manufacturers in terms of creating dependable, long-term replacements for the internal combustion engine (ICE), such as hybrid and electric technologies, it is also pushing forward with advances in hydrogen power. Kawasaki’s investment in hydrogen technology sets it apart from competitors, and the company has shown its dedication to the field by forming a partnership with Toyota, the largest automaker in the world. Because Toyota is already 30 years ahead…

Rheinmetall AG presents complete, mobile modular systems for producing, storing, and transporting CO2-free hydrogen at the Africa Aerospace & Defence (AAD) show in Centurion. South Africa’s fixed and mobile civic, industrial, excursion, and outdoor infrastructure can benefit from the climate-neutral energy security offered by Rheinmetall Denel Munition’s mobile solution. It can function in remote locations with no access to electricity because it generates its own. This innovation is perfect for mobile field hospitals due to its ability to create oxygen simultaneously. Thanks to its expertise in plant engineering, Rheinmetall is well on its way to becoming an energy producer as…

The ambitious European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) has been updated to reflect the increasing vitality and rapidity of developments in the hydrogen sector. The current liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal in Gijón will, according to EHB’s forecasts, become integrated into a more tightly knit hydrogen transmission network across the north of Spain by the year 2030. Belgium’s 2040 plan has been updated to reflect the “more rapid” deployment of pipeline infrastructure. As an added bonus, EHB has revealed in Slovakia that the timeline for building the East-West corridor between Ukraine and the Czech Republic has been moved forward from 2040 to…

Equinix is working with the NUS School of Design and Engineering’s Energy Research and Technology Center (CERT) to develop a method of harnessing hydrogen as a sustainable fuel. Equinix and the California Energy Commission Research Team (CERT) have begun a groundbreaking study comparing Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) with mixed fuel linear generator technologies. Hydrogen energy’s PEMFC is gaining traction as a promising next-generation fuel, and blended fuel linear generators make it simple for businesses to switch between several types of green fuels like hydrogen, biogas, and renewable liquid fuels. These advancements help data centers handle the rising demand…

The Korean National Oil Corporation and Lotte Chemical have agreed to combine their resources to develop a green hydrogen and ammonia business. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Lotte Chemical and Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) was recently announced, with the stated goal of reviving the hydrogen economy at Lotte World Tower. Jointly developing and investing in clean hydrogen and ammonia production abroad; jointly developing and operating hydrogen and ammonia import terminals; and ammonia reforming and hydrogen business development are all areas where Lotte Chemical and Korea National Oil Corporation hope to work together. By investing 6 trillion won, Lotte…
