Green Hydrogen H2 News

Professor Kevin Kendall pulls into the only green hydrogen refueling station in Birmingham, Britain’s second largest city, and fills his car with clean gas. Green hydrogen is in the spotlight as governments seek to cut carbon emissions in times of high temperatures, and to preserve energy supplies affected by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, a major oil and gas producer. But the “hydrogen economy” has not quite caught on pending adoption by high-polluting sectors such as steel and aviation. For Kendall, being an early adopter of green hydrogen means he doesn’t have to stand in line to refuel his…

Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto of the United States have announced that the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) will receive $6.7 million to fund the purchase of three hydrogen fuel cell electric buses and safety improvements along Las Vegas bus routes. In addition, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe will receive $115,000 to increase transit choices for Pyramid Lake residents. The Low or No Emission and Buses and Bus Infrastructure Grant Programs of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provide financing to state and local governments for the purchase or lease of zero-emission and low-emission transit buses and…

Through its research on hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and use, NETL is assisting the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in putting hydrogen at the forefront of efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emission goals in the power sector by 2035 and in the broader economy by 2050, while meeting the Hydrogen Shot goal of $1 per kilogram in a decade. DOE models indicate the potential for at least a fivefold increase in the use of clean hydrogen if the Hydrogen Shot objectives are fulfilled. A U.S. industry estimate predicts a 16% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, 140 billion dollars…

Under the new search phrase “hydrogen,” the funding database currently contains ten listings, but not all of them are currently accepting submissions. Two funding opportunities from the German Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) are presently accepting applications. They support renewable energy-powered rail vehicles and infrastructure, as well as pilot plants for hydrogen-based fuel generation. Funding for rail vehicles powered by hydrogen or electricity The BMDV has initiated a funding scheme for alternatively propelled rail vehicles. It facilitates vehicle procurement, the required infrastructure for tanks and charging, hydrogen generating plants, and feasibility studies. Depending on the topic, up…

For now, it is only a project that explores what the motorcycles of the future could be like. However, it already proposes a real mechanical solution that would significantly extend the range of future two-wheeled electric motorcycles and thus solve one of the most critical points of this emission-free technology. As in cars of this type, in the Hydra a fuel cell is powered by hydrogen to generate electricity, which is stored in a battery and provides the necessary energy to the electric motor. The main advantages of the fuel cell are that the hydrogen needed for its operation can…

Researchers from the University of Canterbury will lead attempts to promote green hydrogen energy in Aotearoa New Zealand after the government awarded $4 million to two projects. The initiatives are financed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment’s Catalyst: Strategic New Zealand-Germany Green Hydrogen Research Partnership strategic financing scheme in collaboration with German researchers. Today, three successful research projects were revealed, two of which were directed by University of Canterbury (UC) professors: Dr. Rebecca Peer, Dr. Jannik Haas, and Professor Aaron Marshall of Chemical and Process Engineering. Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources and is one of…

Vice Minister of SMEs and Startups Jo Joo-hyeon said: “We will prepare a place for companies in the special zone, related ministries, and private experts to communicate together on a regular basis so that hydrogen-related laws can be quickly revised and commercialized nationwide.” Vice Minister Cho made this statement after visiting the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demonstration Center in Ulsan Metropolitan City’s Hydrogen Green Mobility Special Zone and Jangsaengpo Port, a hydrogen ship demonstration site. This visit to the site of the special zone free of regulation is the fifth step since the autonomous driving zone of Sejong City in June,…

Solus-LR, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) fueled by a hydrogen fuel cell, has successfully completed many demonstration flights, according to Cellula Robotics Ltd. The impressive autonomous launch of a micro-AUV from Solus-LR while submerged and in motion was shown on July 15 in Vancouver’s Indian Arm harbour. After launch, the micro-AUV surfaced and delivered a status report via Iridium satellite to Solus-command LR’s and control center. The operation was the first of its type and exhibited near-real-time communications from a submerged AUV beyond the horizon. As part of Cellula’s ongoing work with TAS’ SeaWolf program, representatives from Trusted Autonomous Systems…

As significant as the internal combustion engine has been for the advancement of society, it is also a major source of pollution that harms human health and carbon emissions that contribute to the climate problem. Transportation accounts for approximately 30% of U.S. carbon emissions, and 95% of transportation uses fossil fuels. Using hydrogen fuel cells, which release only water vapor, to power automobiles might be one potential solution. However, this sustainability approach contains an inherent irony that is not sustainable: Catalysts required to extract energy from hydrogen are comprised of rare and expensive metals such as platinum. Widespread adoption of…
