To attract Chinese investment in Namibia’s green hydrogen project, President Hage Geingob has been courting the country’s business community in China. When asked about the possibility of Chinese companies participating in government initiatives to boost China’s economy, outgoing Chinese ambassador Zhang Yiming said, “We’re open to it.” “We just discussed new cooperations, like in the green hydrogen project. The president is very keen and looking forward that capable Chinese state-owned enterprises, which have the latest technology in green hydrogen come to invest or partner with Namibian companies to participate in the green hydrogen project,” Zhang said. Zhang assured Geingob that…

Work has begun on a new coating facility at TFP Hydrogen Products’ North American headquarters in Schenectady, New York. Adding this line will help keep up with the burgeoning demand for green hydrogen, where our coatings improve the efficiency and durability of PEM water electrolysers, lowering the cost of producing it. David Hodgson, Managing Director of TFP Hydrogen Products, comments that: “The incorporation of this specialised technology in Schenectady as well as the UK is an important step in the growth of TFP Hydrogen. It will provide the necessary capacity increase to respond to the increasing demand for our materials,…

Malaysian power generation and industrial equipment provider Daiden Equipment has signed a preliminary strategic agreement with Advent Technologies, a leading innovator in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology sectors. In a statement, Daiden said it intends to distribute Advent’s SereneU fuel cell products as a distributor. As a result, Daiden’s clean power generation sources will be better promoted, and the country’s ongoing transition to green energy will be strengthened. Several SereneU fuel cell units from Advent have already been shipped to Daiden for evaluation and testing. Daiden and Advent will determine the best strategy for introducing Advent’s methanol-based fuel cells…

The North County Transit District has been awarded a $4.8 million federal grant to assist in the purchase of eight hydrogen fuel-cell-powered electric buses. By 2025, the transit agency hopes to have a fleet of 25 of these zero-emission vehicles. Fuel cells produce electricity by combining hydrogen gas with oxygen in the air and emitting only water as waste. Because a fully equipped bus costs $1.3 million, the agency will purchase all eight vehicles with its own funds. NCTD has already been awarded a $1.7 million grant to build a hydrogen bus fueling station.

HRS, a European designer and manufacturer of hydrogen refueling stations and a pioneer in hydrogen mobility, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Burckhardt Compression. HRS and Burckhardt Compression plan to strengthen their partnership by collaborating on the development of high-capacity hydrogen refueling stations for the heavy-duty mobility market (buses, trucks, and ports), as well as light-utility vehicles (taxi fleets) and future opportunities. Hydrogen-Refueling-Solutions (HRS), formerly TSM, is a pioneer in hydrogen mobility, having been founded in 2004. The Company has been committed to reducing transportation emissions for over ten years as a European designer and manufacturer of hydrogen refueling…

Hydrogen is seen as a key component of the global plan to achieve a net-zero future. To combat climate change, Tenaris is committed to lowering its carbon footprint and developing a portfolio of energy-related products. Tenaris’ line pipe technology team has conducted an experimental activity to qualify medium and large diameter pipes up to X70 grade for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen transportation with a hydrogen content of up to 100 percent at 200 bars in support of these actions. Pressurized pipelines are considered a relevant solution for transporting molecular energy from the point of production or storage to the point of…

Xingshunda New Energy Technology, a joint venture between China Yuchai and Beijing Yuchai, has been incorporated in the Daxing District of Beijing. Joint venture Beijing Yuchai Xingshunda New Energy Technology has been established with a registered capital of RMB 10 million by the company and its subsidiary Yuchai Xin-Lan New Energy Power Technology and Beijing Xing Shun Da Bus through Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited. For the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei markets, a joint venture between the two companies will accelerate the development, manufacturing, and sale of fuel cell powertrain systems and core fuel cell power system components.

At Unilever’s Port Sunlight factory in the North West, 100 percent hydrogen was used to power the production of personal care and home care products. The demonstration, led by Progressive Energy, is part of the larger ‘HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching’ Program. As soon as low carbon hydrogen is available from the HyNet project, the Program will provide evidence to enable major manufacturing sites to switch to it. Unilever’s Port Sunlight factory, which has been producing household brands and products since 1888, is an important part of the North West’s industrial heritage. Unilever products such as TRESemme and Persil will be…
