VINCI Airports, Galp, CaetanoBus and Mitsui announced Monday that they will analyze the feasibility of reducing airport CO2 emissions by replacing traditional buses and combustion engine operation vehicles with a green hydrogen fleet powered by electric fuel cells. “The initial study will assess the most appropriate location and various aspects of airport operation, including the type and number of vehicles to be considered, the hydrogen production and distribution strategy, equipment suppliers, the speed of fleet replacement, and regulatory requirements, as well as the most viable business model,” the companies explain in a statement. Each one will be responsible for studying…

Spain does not seem willing to give its arm to twist in the construction of the MidCat pipeline. After the refusal of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, insisted on keeping the debate open within the Twenty-seven, and the first point seems in favor of the Spanish government: European ministers agreed on Friday that a technical group on interconnections assess what infrastructure should be strengthened to arrive on time for the winter 2023-2024, as told at the exit the vice president herself and Minister for Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera. Just what she had been asking for weeks. The Spanish objective is…

Woking-based Linde has developed the first hydrogen refueling system for passenger trains in the world. Linde constructed, owns, and manages the new infrastructure that will refuel 14 hydrogen-powered passenger trains in Bremervorde, Germany. Each refueling will allow the train to go 1,000 kilometers without emitting carbon dioxide. Its overall capacity of around 1,600kg of hydrogen per day places it among the largest hydrogen refueling systems ever constructed. The location has also been engineered to accommodate future green hydrogen generation on-site. Linde’s President of Region Europe West, Veerle Slenders, stated, “Linde is dedicated to making a substantial contribution to decarbonizing transport…

San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) submitted a proposal to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on September 8 for a demonstration project on the campus of the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) to study how blending hydrogen with natural gas in the existing gas system could assist Californians in achieving a successful energy transition. The project is part of SDG&E’s multi-pronged sustainability strategy to investigate the viability of emerging technologies to rapidly decarbonize multiple economic sectors – ranging from buildings and transportation to industrial and manufacturing processes – in order to assist California in reaching…

The Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul has inked a three-year memorandum of understanding with Neoenergia, a subsidiary of the Spanish energy giant Iberdrola, for the development of offshore wind energy and the manufacture of green hydrogen. The MOU seeks for cooperation in other energy-related or electrification-related initiatives relevant to the green hydrogen pilot project. At addition, it stipulates the evaluations required for the development of the chain value, supply chain, and port infrastructure in the port of Rio Grande for the guas Claras offshore wind power production project. According to Neoenergia, the guas Claras project consists of four…
