Hydrogen Loader Revolutionizes Quarry

Strabag and Liebherr have initiated a project to test a hydrogen-powered wheel loader at the Gratkorn quarry. This move aims to significantly reduce the operation’s carbon footprint. For the first time, green hydrogen will replace traditional diesel to power a large wheel loader. This switch could save up to 37,500 liters of diesel, equating to approximately 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. In an event attended by Leonore Gewessler, the Federal Minister for Climate Action and Environment, Strabag, Liebherr, and Energie Steiermark launched their pilot project. Strabag aims to become climate-neutral by 2040 and is committed to reducing carbon emissions…

green hydrogen

Hgen, a California-based hydrogen startup, has secured $5 million in seed funding to commercialize its advanced alkaline electrolyzers. Leading this funding round was Seven Seven Six, with Founders Fund and Fontinalis Partners participating as well. The influx of capital will expedite the implementation of Hgen’s cutting-edge technology at various customer locations. Hgen’s proprietary alkaline electrolyzers are a game-changer in the hydrogen industry. They boast a 20-fold increase in volume output density compared to traditional models, allowing systems to be 1/20th the size while producing the same amount of hydrogen. Furthermore, these electrolyzers are 9% more efficient than standard alkaline cells,…
