Enagás Renovables, Naturgy, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) have announced a joint investment of €1,700 million in the start-up of a green hydrogen production plant in Andorra, Teruel. The project, known as the “Catalina” project, will generate 425 direct jobs and as many indirect jobs.

Marubeni Europower has submitted plans to develop a green hydrogen production facility in Bridgend, named the HyBont Green Hydrogen Project. The £31m facility will generate hydrogen by splitting water into its component parts through the use of electrolysers powered by electrical energy.

Kenworth, a division of PACCAR Inc., has announced the launch of its Class 8 zero emissions T680 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), in collaboration with Toyota Motor North America.

The Government of Paraná is set to sanction a bill during the 1st Forum of Renewable Hydrogen (H2) in Curitiba that provides for the increased use of hydrogen as an energy matrix in the State.

A group of students from Eco-Runner Team Delft in the Netherlands is working on developing the world’s most efficient hydrogen car, with the goal of driving at least 2056 kilometres on less than one kilogram of hydrogen. The team of engineers has been building more efficient hydrogen cars every year, but this latest prototype must be sturdier to cover the long distance, comparable to a ride from the north of the Netherlands to southern Spain.

The UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) have held a meeting to discuss bilateral cooperation in hydrogen, as part of the UAE-France Comprehensive Strategic Energy Partnership.

Hyundai Motor Company unveiled its vision for the North American commercial vehicle business with a focus on eco-friendly solutions.

Plug Power, a leading provider of hydrogen engines and fueling solutions, has announced the launch of its new high-power stationary hydrogen-powered fuel cell system for commercial electric vehicles (EV) fleets. The company claims that the system combines its 18,000-gallon (81,829 litres) liquid hydrogen tank with its megawatt-scale PEM fuel cell solution, providing over 60MWh of instantaneous energy to charge more than 600 EVs.

ZeroAvia, a company focused on developing zero-emission aviation solutions, has received delivery of a 76-passenger Bombardier Q400 regional turboprop from Alaska Airlines. The aircraft is slated to be retrofitted with the company’s hydrogen-electric propulsion technology, paving the way for a potential test flight as early as next year.

Nikola Corp. and Voltera have announced a partnership to create up to 50 HYLA-branded hydrogen fueling stations across North America over the next five years. This collaboration aims to develop an open network of commercial hydrogen refuelling stations that will support the deployment of zero-emission fuel cell electric trucks.
