CMB.TECH and Luyckx unveil the world’s first dual-fuel excavator fueled by hydrogen. This machine promotes gradual environmental growth in the heavy construction and earthmoving industries. Companies in the sector can commence on an energy transition with today’s machines without being forever reliant on the supply of hydrogen with this machine. “Driven by the wishes of our end users and fleet owners, we launched an own initiative feasibility study with regard to possible alternative solutions that help to reduce CO₂ emissions, make the machine park more sustainable and do business in a socially responsible way. We have been looking for the…

Eneos has expanded domestic hydrogen sales for fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs), using renewable energy sources including solar and biomass. The company sells the green hydrogen combined with LPG-derived hydrogen for $11/kg at its Yokohama retail outlet. The green hydrogen is created by the station’s solar panels and the company’s 74.9MW Muroran biomass power facility in Hokkaido. Eneos began producing hydrogen from LPG in March 2016 at its hydrogen production delivery center near to its 270,000 b/d Negishi refinery, helping Japan reach its 200,000 FCV target by 2025 and 800,000 by 2030. Eneos also provides solar-generated green hydrogen for FCVs in Tokyo.…

Ohmium International announced the start of India’s first green hydrogen electrolyzer gigafactory. The Bengaluru project will initially produce 500 MW per year, with ambitions to expand to 2 GW (2000 MW). Green Hydrogen is the future pollution-free fuel that will help India move to renewable energy. Green hydrogen has no carbon impact and may be used to make fertilizer, refine oil, steel, fuel cell vehicles, and traditional automobiles with methanol blended in. Green Hydrogen is also transportable. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the National Hydrogen Mission in his Independence Day speech, with the goal of becoming the world’s largest exporter…

In the Liverpool City Region, one of the world’s first large-scale demonstrations of 100 percent hydrogen burning in a live float sheet glass production is taking place. Pilkington UK announced that the natural gas fossil fuel that is now utilized in its production process would be totally replaced by hydrogen at its St Helens site. This endeavor is part of Progressive Energy’s HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching project, which aims to demonstrate that low carbon hydrogen is a viable alternative to natural gas. BOC, an industrial gas business, will supply the hydrogen fuel for this project. The Pilkington project is one…

The Apennine railway in Italy, which connects Sansepolcro and Sulmona, is being converted to green hydrogen, and it could be the first of many Italian railways to do so. Iberdrola and AECOM are leading the endeavor to entirely decarbonize the 300-kilometer-long route, which is now utilized by aging diesel trains. The two will also investigate into converting the Ferrovia dei Due Mare (two seas railway) to green hydrogen after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday (August 24). Both conversions are part of an integrated project combining AECOM, Ancitel Energia e Ambiente, and Cinque International to revitalize the Central…

Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, who was named as the association’s new CEO, will continue to lead Hydrogen Europe in advancing global carbon neutrality by accelerating the hydrogen sector. Chatzimarkakis is no new to Hydrogen Europe, having previously served as the organization’s Secretary General, a position he has held since 2016. “I feel honored to have received this responsibility in such crucial and decisive times. As always, the team will work hard with the Hydrogen Europe members to contribute and accelerate the European energy transition where hydrogen, as a hero net zero, can contribute massively.” Chatzimarkakis,

The HyProvide electrolyzer from Green Hydrogen Systems has entered the Norwegian market, and two freshly purchased systems are planned to produce 389kg of green hydrogen everyday in the country next year. The electrolyser manufacturer announced that it has received an order from Liquiline for the equipment, which will be put within a 40ft container to form a complete green hydrogen plant. The electrolysers will create hydrogen from renewable energy with a total capacity of 0.9MW. According to Green Hydrogen Systems, the electrolyzers will be completely operational in 2022.

A brand-new UK Energy Supply Chain (UKESC) taskforce has been established to assist UK-based businesses in transitioning to a green future using clean technologies such as hydrogen. The UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (UK HFCA) announced its participation in the new taskforce, which is co-chaired by DIT Minister for Exports Graham Stuart and BEIS Energy Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan. UKESC was formed just one week after the UK unveiled its National Hydrogen Strategy, and it will help the country achieve its 2050 net zero aspirations.

Mitsubishi Power is trying to decarbonize its operations with hydrogen, having ordered what it claims is the world’s largest single stack high-pressure alkaline electrolyzer equipment. The system, which was ordered from HydrogenPro, will have a capacity of 1100 normal cubic metres per hour and will assist both organizations in scaling up and testing hydrogen technology. The system will initially be deployed at the Herya Industrial Park in Norway, according to project plans, but Mitsubishi will later attempt to incorporate similar electrolyser technology into its operations in the United States. The companies will carry out a structured validation program and optimize…

The Scottish Wholesale Association and Arcola Energy have teamed up to deploy more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Scotland to help the UK transition to zero-emission road freight. The Scottish Hydrogen Fuel Cell Freight Trial (SHyFT) has previously received funding from the Department of Transport’s Zero Emission Road Freight programme, and each deployed hydrogen-powered truck will use Scotland’s long-standing hydrogen station network. In addition to utilizing existing infrastructure, the alliance will seek to develop creative solutions to aid in the adoption of future zero-emission automobiles. The partnership’s actions are expected to aid in the development of low-cost, zero-emission heavy goods…
