easyJet and Rolls-Royce have established a new partnership, H2ZERO, that will pioneer the development of hydrogen combustion engine technology capable of powering a variety of aircraft, including narrow-body aircraft. Both firms have agreed to collaborating on a series of ground-based engine tests beginning later this year and share the goal of taking the technology into the air. The cooperation aims to demonstrate that hydrogen has the ability to power a variety of aircraft beginning in the mid-2030s. While Rolls-Royce will provide its expertise in engine development and combustion systems to H2ZERO, easyJet will contribute its operational knowledge and experience, as…

According to a report, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has now confirmed that Germany wants to purchase gas from Egypt, as well as hydrogen in the future. In the current crisis, it would be important to have different well ePartners and not to fixate on only one partner. The President of Egypt, Abd al-Fattah as-Sisi noted in this regard that the country was interested in trade, with the energy and gas crisis also being a burden in Egypt. Egypt has been able to export gas through LNG terminals since 2018. Scholz does not want to rely on a single gas supplier “Germany…

The bench-scale hydrogen production test facility at Kola NPP in Murmansk Region is planned to be launched in 2025. “Today we are in the active design stage and in the stage of creating innovative modern electrolysers that will allow us to get good hydrogen. The plan is to complete the design next year, and in 2025, to have this complex fully operational,” he said. Vasily Omelchuk added that the production is planned to produce 200 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour – about 150 tons per year. The substance will be stored in cylinders with a pressure of 400 atmospheres.…

Air Liquide subsidiary Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Industrial Gases (SCIPIG) will invest over 200 million euros to construct two hydrogen production units and accompanying infrastructure in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP). These units are intended to replace the current supply from a coal-based gasification unit owned by a third party, will be fitted with CO2 capture and recycling technology, and will be connected to SCIPIG’s existing local network. In addition to the two hydrogen units and four air separation units that SCIPIG presently operates in the Park, these two units will be added. These facilities will manufacture hydrogen and carbon…

A European project endowed with 1.6 million euros will develop a “roadmap” from which a line of urban buses powered by hydrogen in the city of Huesca will be promoted. This was announced yesterday by the Vice President and Minister of Industry, Competitiveness and Business Development and President of the Foundation for the Development of New Hydrogen Technologies in Aragon, Arturo Aliaga, during the conference “Actions around Hydrogen in Aragon”. During this event, framed within the Interreg Europe Smart Hy Aware project, led by the Department of Industry, through the Aragonese Development Institute, Arturo Aliaga advanced this new European project…

Hyundai has signed a memorandum of understanding with Europe’s Rolls-Royce to develop electric and hydrogen propulsion systems for the air mobility market. The partnership will leverage Rolls-Royce’s expertise in the aeronautical sector and Hyundai’s industrial and hydrogen technology capabilities. The goal? To have the first air cab ready by 2025. The MOU between Hyundai Motor Group and Rolls-Royce includes five strategic objectives: collaboration between Rolls-Royce and specifically Hyundai’s Advanced Air Mobility division on technology development and solutions related to propulsion and electric systems; collaboration for the industrialization of Rolls-Royce’s electric and propulsion systems intended for the Advanced Air Mobility market;…
