In northeast India, Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC has donated their E-60 hydrogen fuel cell engine to power a nine-meter electric bus (eBus). The tourist bus is part of a regional effort to develop a variety of hydrogen-powered mobility options. Oil India Limited (OIL) has entered into a contract with Ohm Cleantech Private Ltd., a subsidiary of h2e Power Systems Private Ltd., to design, integrate, and construct a nine-meter hydrogen fuel cell-powered e-Bus with the assistance of the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati. According to Sushil Chand Mishra, the chief managing director of OIL, the hydrocarbon explorer and producer is committed to…

A Japanese energy business is due to sign a £26 million deal to construct green hydrogen projects in Wales, giving the United Kingdom a significant boost in its hydrogen ambitions. The municipal council of Bridgend, Wales, has inked an MOU with Marubeni, a Japanese corporation that specializes in green energy. Following the company’s selection of Wales as the preferred UK location for a green hydrogen demonstration project, the agreement outlines plans to create a new 5MW-class green hydrogen venture. This program intends to construct a green hydrogen energy plant capable of producing and balancing the supply and storage of low-cost…

In parallel, research is trying to find other ways to produce green hydrogen. The director of ABH2 cites the use of biomass, whose biodigestion results in biogas. It is then worked to remove substances such as sulfur and then heat is used to obtain hydrogen. Another method removes sulfur and other impurities and refines the resulting biogas into biomethane, which is then steamed into green hydrogen. According to Monteiro, this process would cost less than electrolysis. Biomass and photocatalysis To also try to make the industrial production of green hydrogen feasible, Turiya Renováveis, a renewable energy generation company that is…

Air Products and power generator VPI have signed a cooperative development agreement to advance the “Humber Hydrogen Hub” or “H3” project, which aims to construct an 800MW low-carbon hydrogen production plant in Immingham, United Kingdom. The bulk of created hydrogen would be utilized to decarbonize VPI Immingham’s present electricity output. Air Products Chief Operating Officer Dr. Samir J. Serhan and VPI Chairman Russell Hardy signed the deal. Proven Technology Supporting the Ambitions of the Humber As the largest industrial cluster in the United Kingdom, the Humber has the greatest industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. H3 would create huge quantities of…

Southwest Research Institute is evaluating the durability of hydrogen-powered car fuel tank valves. In the transportation industry, hydrogen is increasingly being studied as a replacement to fossil fuels. As part of an endeavor with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to assess existing testing requirements for pressurized hydrogen tank valves, this study is being performed. Government and business demand for hydrogen research has surged in recent years as the sector explores for alternatives to fossil fuel combustion, which contributes to climate change. Hydrogen is being evaluated as a potential fuel source for autos, power generation, and possibly as a…

Green hydrogen is becoming a key energy carrier throughout Europe to achieve climate targets. IWB and Fritz Meyer AG were planning a pilot plant for green hydrogen at the Birsfelden power station. Due to a negative decision by the Building Appeals Commission of the Canton of Baselland, both partners are now pursuing other projects and initiatives to help CO2-neutral hydrogen achieve a breakthrough. Using surplus electricity from the Birsfelden power plant, the Basel-based energy supplier IWB and the mineral oil trader and filling station operator Fritz Meyer AG wanted to produce CO2-neutral green hydrogen. This was to be used for…

Typically, green waste and sewage sludge are composted or burned. However, researchers have since discovered several methods for extracting hydrogen from garbage. In contrast, methanol might be the key to shipping. A team of experts from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA examined whether methods for converting biomass to hydrogen are technically mature and can be economically run in the future. In recent years, numerous techniques have reportedly been created for this aim. In addition to the generation of hydrogen, methods for recapturing greenhouse gases from the utilized plants must be discovered. Generating and using hydrogen For…

Alpine is currently working on hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines. For the Dieppe-based brand, this could be a complementary proposal to the all-electric, reserved for niche vehicles. Alpine is currently developing a 100% electric range. This will consist of a sporty city car based on the future Renault 5 electric, the GT crossover and the A110 replacement developed with Lotus, which will arrive in 2026. But the brand of Dieppe could not abandon the thermal for all that. It would currently work on explosion engines using hydrogen as fuel, following the example of Toyota which tests a mechanics of this type…

Low-emission mobility zones (ZFE-m), instituted by the French law on mobility (LOM) of December 26, 2019, will help develop renewable hydrogen mobility. As part of the Paris Agreement and the French government’s Climate Plan, the LOM has a key objective: to achieve carbon neutrality for mobility by 2050. This law creates a regulatory and fiscal framework through several measures aimed at companies, citizens and local authorities. The first system, aimed at local authorities, aims to deploy low-emission mobility zones (ZFE-m), for which over 10 million Crit’Air stickers have already been issued. These stickers allow local authorities to limit access to…

Greening the mining industry and developing low-carbon mobility are two of the ambitions of New Caledonia’s future energy transition plan. The government also wants to move away from imported fossil fuels and move towards self-sufficiency in energy production. How can this be achieved? By positioning itself on the hydrogen market. Producing synthetic fuels The nickel sector is the first to be affected. The metallurgical and mining industry accounts for three quarters of New Caledonia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Although KNS still needs to be convinced, a framework agreement signed in May calls for the use of 70% renewable energy in the…
