Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, two southern German states, have formed an agreement to promote the development of a hydrogen economy in the region and boost their standing as centers for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. In the coming years, the two nations will each contribute up to EUR 500 million (USD 501.7m) to research and development (R&D) projects and the establishment of a hydrogen economy. Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg intend to boost collaborative initiatives in the field of manufacturing technologies for electrolyser components and investigate a further expansion of their cooperation for the creation of a trans-regional hydrogen filling station network through…

Australian Research Council has awarded $1.2 million to the University of Wollongong on the south coast of New South Wales for three projects, one of which is the continuing development of high efficiency electrochemical cells for green hydrogen. Professor Gerhard Swiegers, who discovered that green hydrogen could be produced up to 20% more efficiently using capillary-fed electrolysis, is leading the initiative. This technique is currently being commercialized by Wollongong-based startup Hysata, where Professor Swiegers serves as Chief Technical Officer. Professor Sweigers states that the university’s grant-funded initiative will investigate the capillary-fed electrochemical cell design in the facilitation of various electro-energy…

Two research teams from the University of Sydney have been given over $1 million to collaborate with industry on urban rewilding and hydrogen embrittlement projects. The projects were awarded under the Linkage Projects initiative of the Australian Research Council (ARC), which encourages national and international research partnerships between scholars and business, industry, community organizations, and government supported research bodies. Projects are sponsored for a period of five years. Professor Emma Johnston AO, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), commended the grant recipients on their success. “Congratulations to our successful recipients, whose research is addressing issues of vital importance to Australia, including making urban…

Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg stated that the government of Sarawak is always willing to work with foreign companies such as Korea and Japan to promote the state’s hydrogen economy. He stated that he will be in Korea this next weekend to improve cooperation with investors there. “In October, I will travel to Japan to discuss hydrogen as a new fuel source for the energy transition from carbon fuel to carbon-free fuel in support of global efforts to combat climate change,” he said. He said this in his address during the Sarawak-level Merdeka Day 2022 commemoration…

The secretary of state for foreign trade of the United Kingdom has signaled increased collaboration with Australian industries as the two nations aim to enhance the flow of green hydrogen. Anne-Marie Trevelyan is on a four-day visit to Australia, where she will meet with the prime minister, cabinet ministers, and businessmen as the two countries try to ratify a free trade deal. As part of the clean energy revolution, green hydrogen is a crucial issue, the secretary told AAP. “I would like to see some of these British companies that have built this competence collaborate with Australian companies.” Under the…

BMW announces the beginning of work on its hydrogen vehicle.

Hydrogen energy won’t provide anything or assist Germany this winter.

The process of charging is anticipated to be simpler than the current way of storing and utilizing hydrogen.

A new analysis suggests that Africa may provide the entire globe with affordable, low-carbon energy in the form of hydrogen. In its Africa Energy Outlook 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) asserts that Africa’s abundant renewable resources — especially solar energy, but also onshore wind — are the key to realizing this potential. According to the IEA, Africa could create 5,000 megatonnes of hydrogen annually for less than $2 per kilogram, which is equivalent to “world total energy supply” Is hydrogen a viable alternative? The U.S. Energy Information Administration states that hydrogen is an abundant and energy-dense gas that exists…

Syzygy Plasmonics, LOTTE Chemical, LOTTE Fine Chemical (LOTTE Chemical HQ), and Sumitomo Corporation of the Americas (SCOA) have announced a joint development agreement to test a photocatalytic reactor for the production of clean hydrogen. In the second half of 2023, the reactor will be installed and brought online at the LOTTE Chemical headquarters in Ulsan, South Korea. With the release of its 2030 Vision in May 2022, LOTTE Chemical HQ outlined clear decarbonization strategies and directions while simultaneously achieving historic revenue growth. In addition to other climate-related objectives, the company is laying the groundwork to expand the hydrogen economy in…
