A subsidiary of Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure has agreed to get money from North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, and the international trading company ITOCHU Corporation to do more detailed feasibility studies for the Dalrymple Bay Hydrogen Project. At Hay Point, the Dalrymple Bay Terminal is well-known for its role in supporting the global steel supply chain by exporting steel to 25 countries. Due to its deep-water port, access to the established Mackay industrial zone, availability of land and water, and location within one of Queensland’s Renewable Energy Zones, DBT is an ideal location for a potential green hydrogen…

Hexagon Purus has received an order from a Polish bus manufacturer for high-pressure hydrogen systems that will be used to make buses with fuel cells. Type 4 cylinder-based fuel systems made by Hexagon Purus will help this new customer speed up the introduction of fuel-cell buses in Europe. The hydrogen fuel systems will come from the Hexagon Purus plant in Kassel, Germany. The order is worth about EUR 930,000. (NOK 9.3 million). “The order is testament to our technology and confirms our strong position with European bus OEMs as supplier of high-pressure hydrogen fuel systems,” says Michael Kleschinski, Executive Vice…

With the help of CMB.TECH and the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, Namibia’s first green hydrogen production plant was launched. It will be built in the Erongo region, a demonstration center for hydrogen applications. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022 and be completed by the end of 2023. A larger production facility, possibly fueled by ammonia, may be built in a second phase based on the results of the demonstration plant. Together with CMB.TECH, the O&L Group is launching Cleanergy Namibia as a joint venture to build a green hydrogen production plant and demonstration hub in Namibia. This is…

Elix Aviation Management provided Universal Hydrogen with a Dash 8-300 as its first test aircraft. Additionally, Elix has signed a letter of intent with Universal Hydrogen to acquire ten conversion kits for the current and future Elix leased fleet as the lessor introduces new decarbonization technology. Elix has signed a letter of intent to purchase ten conversion kits from Universal Hydrogen for use in its current and future turboprop aircraft fleet. This ten-unit order from Universal Hydrogen allows Elix to choose any combination of Dash 8-300 or ATR 72-500/600 conversion kits. “Collaborating with Universal Hydrogen is a continuation of our…

Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS), the global authority on hydrogen safety and training, has added Jackson, Mississippi-based Hy Stor Energy to its membership roster. Renewable hydrogen is being developed and advanced at scale in the United States by Hy Stor Energy. “Hy Stor Energy’s understanding of the vital role hydrogen safety plays in global decarbonization and the greater energy transition makes them a powerful addition to our community,” said Nick Barilo, executive director, CHS. “We look forward to Hy Stor’s contributions to CHS and seeing their impact on the global energy transition.” In order to address hydrogen safety issues and…

CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines, has signed a partnership agreement with Airbus to collaborate on a hydrogen demonstration program that will take flight around the middle of this century. The program’s goal is to test a hydrogen-powered direct combustion engine on the ground and in the air in preparation for a zero-emission aircraft to enter service by 2035. Using a flying testbed equipped with liquid hydrogen tanks from Airbus facilities in France and Germany, the demonstration will take place. As part of the hydrogen propulsion system development, Airbus will oversee flight testing and…

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Advent Technologies and Electric Ship Facilities (ESF). ESF has agreed to become a distributor of Advent’s SereneU fuel cell products in the future, bolstering its portfolio of CO2 reducing technologies. Initially, the Benelux, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria will be the focus of this new collaboration, allowing Advent to facilitate fuel cell trials and configurations for land-based and maritime applications. Per Arild, Advent A/S Director of Marketing and Business Development, said “ESF will help us create demonstrations that will effectively showcase the true potential of methanol-based fuel cell solutions as an efficient…

Hyzon Motors Europe, a joint venture between Hyzon and Holthausen Clean Technology Investment, has signed a vehicle supply agreement with Swedish transport company MaserFrakt. The partnership is a significant step toward enabling emissions-free long-haul transportation in Sweden, as it is expected to bring the country’s first commercial hydrogen-powered heavy trucks. Hyzon will provide two HyMax-250 fuel cell electric trucks on a 6×4 vehicle chassis as part of the contract. An estimated range of 680 kilometers can be achieved by storing 98 kilograms of hydrogen on the 64-ton trucks. MaserFrakt has already built a fleet of 1500 vehicles, half of which…

Tests of zero-emission fuel cell system by Ballard Power Systems and MAHLE has been set up in Stuttgart, Germany. Different types of commercial trucks will be able to use fuel cell systems as the primary source of propulsion power, according to the companies involved. Ballard is in charge of system design, while MAHLE is in charge of the complete fuel cell system, or engine, as well as system assembly.

According to a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding signed by Ballard Power Systems and the Adani Group, the two companies will evaluate a joint investment case for the commercialization of fuel cells for various mobility and industrial applications in India. Both parties have agreed to look into ways to work together, including the possibility of collaborating on fuel cell manufacturing in India as part of the MOU. There will be a focus on green hydrogen production, as well as green electricity generation and manufacturing of electrolyzers and wind turbines as part of Adani New Industries Limited’s efforts under this MOU. “Green…
