EnBW Sweden and Scandinavian Horizon have announced a joint venture to develop hydrogen-based energy solutions, strengthening Sweden’s energy system and reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. The partnership seeks to contribute to Sweden’s decarbonization efforts by Combining EnBW’s financial resources with Scandinavian Horizon’s expertise in large-scale hydrogen projects. Hydrogen Solutions for Sweden Sweden, with its abundance of renewable energy, is uniquely positioned to lead the world in green hydrogen development. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier and a storage solution, plays a crucial role in achieving the nation’s net-zero emissions target by 2045. The new collaboration aims to accelerate the transition…

The H2 Marsch initiative in the Wesermarsch region aims to ensure this transition is successful. Key companies such as Kronos Titan, USG Blexen, Airbus Aerostructures, Glencore Nordenham, and the EWE have collaborated with the Wesermarsch Economic Development and the cities of Brake and Nordenham in this initiative. A feasibility study identified hydrogen as the preferred method for the region’s industry to move away from fossil fuels. Achieving Connection to Hydrogen Network The Wesermarsch is set to be connected to the planned German hydrogen core network. Approval from the Federal Network Agency is expected soon. Similar to highways, this core network…

Uljin County in Gyeongbuk announced its selection by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport as part of the third phase of the Hydrogen City Development Project. This marks the first time a county-level jurisdiction in South Korea, alongside Ulsan and Seosan cities, has been chosen for this initiative. First Hydrogen City in County The project, supported by a total investment of 40 billion KRW (50% from national funding and 50% from local funding), will focus on creating a hydrogen city centered around the Uljin Nuclear Hydrogen National Industrial Complex. The Hydrogen City project aims to expand hydrogen infrastructure and…

Innovation is at the heart of progress, especially in the automotive industry, where sustainability and efficiency are paramount. Hyundai Motor Company has recently filed a patent for a groundbreaking method for controlling fuel supply in hydrogen vehicles. This development is poised to revolutionize the way we approach hydrogen fuel technologies. Fuel Supply Protocol Central to Hyundai’s patent is the concept of a fuel supply protocol. This protocol results from a negotiation process between a hydrogen fuel dispenser and the mobility unit, essentially the vehicle. The protocol determines how fuel is dispensed, focusing on two major actions: starting and suspending fuel…

Hydrogen is increasingly critical in various industrial applications and sustainable energy solutions. Yet, accurate hydrogen flow rate and concentration measurement, especially in mixed gases containing water vapor and hydrogen, remains a technical challenge. The latest patent filed by PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. addresses this issue with a cutting-edge meter designed to provide precise measurements even under high humidity conditions. Key Features of the Hydrogen Flow Rate/Concentration Meter The newly patented hydrogen flow rate/concentration meter comprises several essential components that harmoniously measure hydrogen accurately in mixed gases, regardless of humidity levels. Let’s break down the primary elements of this…

The quest for sustainable energy sources is continually evolving, and one innovative solution comes from H2-SPHERE GMBH. They have developed a method for producing green hydrogen through an energetically self-sustained process. This method utilizes pyrite, which can be extracted from mine waste, thus offering dual benefits of waste management and clean energy production. Separation and Enrichment of Mine Waste Material To kickstart the process, mine waste material rich in pyrite is separated and enriched to obtain a concentrated form. Mine waste is mainly disposed of tailings or active tailings streams, and it contains significant amounts of pyrite that can be…

The United States government will partner with IIT Madras Research Park to advance green technologies. The focus will be on solar, green hydrogen, electric vehicles, batteries, and buildings. This initiative brings together researchers, academia, and industry experts from both countries. New working groups to be formed The partnership is set to launch formally within a month. To ensure a collaborative approach, specific working groups will be created for each focus area. These groups will include members from the US government and IIT Madras Research Park. US companies play key roles Chris Hodges, the US Consul General in Chennai, mentioned that…

Trafigura’s H2 Energy Europe, a company focused on developing large-scale green hydrogen ecosystems, and German Transmission System Operator Ontras signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance industrial hydrogen infrastructure for industrial customers. The collaboration aims to find methods for transporting green hydrogen from H2 Energy Europe’s planned 1GW production facility in Esbjerg, Denmark. The green hydrogen will be transported via the proposed German Hydrogen Core Network and Ontras’ Green Octopus Mitteldeutschland pipeline project to various industrial regions in Germany, including Salzgitter, Berlin, Eisenhüttenstadt, Magdeburg, and Leipzig-Halle. In October 2023, Trafigura became the majority owner of H2 Energy Europe. This…

Aerospace Dynamics announced that its subsidiary, Shaanxi Aerospace Power Conservation Technology Co., Ltd., plans to invest 59.19 million yuan in developing and building the technology for liquid hydrogen tank containers. Development Details This project’s development period is 12 months. Once fully operational, it is expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 20 liquid hydrogen tank containers and 1000 sets of vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen cylinders.

Automobile giant BMW plans to bring a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle into series production by 2028. This decision represents a significant step towards diversifying energy sources in the automotive sector. The Advantages of Hydrogen Technology BMW has been exploring hydrogen fuel cell technology for many years. Hydrogen fuel cells offer several advantages over traditional electric batteries. They can be refueled in minutes, unlike electric cars that charge for hours. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cells provide longer driving ranges and produce only water as a byproduct, making them environmentally friendly. BMW’s Environmental Commitment The move aligns with BMW’s overarching goal to reduce…
