For the development of a hydrogen fuel cell system for urban air mobility, South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace has been chosen to lead a national task force. By forming a consortium with domestic firms and research institutes, the company hopes to secure core technologies while improving performance and reducing system weight by 2025. State-run Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning has chosen Hanwha Aerospace to lead a four-year project to develop a fuel cell system for urban air mobility (UAM), an ecosystem involving flying passenger vehicles operating in urban areas. UAM’s range and operating time can be significantly increased…

With Gyeongju City and Junghwa, Korea Southern Power signed a Memorandum of Understanding for joint promotion of the hydrogen complex construction project. This project will invest 173 billion won to construct a 28.8MW class hydrogen fuel cell and a hydrogen charging station in Munsan-ri, Oedong-eup, Gyeongju-si. Companies intend to conduct a feasibility study to jointly develop a win-win model for the hydrogen complex construction project and secure resident acceptance, and then proceed with the hydrogen charging station and fuel cell business through…

RWE, a German energy company, has been granted permission to construct a green hydrogen factory in Eemshaven. An environmental permit was issued by the province of Groningen. RWE’s proposed green hydrogen factory is the largest to have been granted a license in the Netherlands. Provinces have already issued the first permits for the construction of electrolysers in recent months. With a capacity of 50 megawatts, RWE’s planned factory is the largest of these (MW). BioMCN’s methanol plant and Evonik’s hydrogen peroxide plant, both in Delfzijl, will both receive hydrogen from RWE. RWE’s hydrogen factory runs on electricity generated by its…

Citroen has delivered its first ë-Jumpy Hydrogen van to SUEZ Group, a long-time commercial partner, for full-scale testing at its Carcassonne branch. One of the first manufacturers to industrialize this new energy solution is the French brand. A 45kW hydrogen fuel cell, three hydrogen tanks with 4.4kg of storage, and a 10.5kWh lithium-ion battery power the electric motor, giving it a total WLTP range of more than 248 miles. The electric motor is primarily powered by the 45kW fuel cell, which provides a range of 217 miles on the WLTP cycle, while the battery serves as a backup, providing 31…
