The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has been awarded a nearly $15 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of the United States Department of Transportation for the purchase of 13 new hydrogen fuel cell buses and the construction of a green hydrogen fueling station at the David F. Bone Equipment Maintenance Transit Operations Center in Gaithersburg. The initiative will be the first application of green hydrogen in public transportation on the East Coast. The award from the FTA’s Low or No Emission Vehicle Program makes the County a leader in adopting this environmentally friendly technology. The grant…

General Motors is contemplating a daring idea to construct portable hydrogen generators for charging electric vehicles in remote locations. It’s another technological possibility being investigated as automakers consider how low- and zero-emissions vehicles could be used in distant places. The majority of electric automobiles on the market now have a range between 200 and 400 kilometers, which is less than most gasoline or diesel vehicles. While hydrogen-powered vehicles are also in development – test fleets of Toyota Mirai (seen below) and Hyundai Nexo hydrogen cars are now on Australian roads — they are dependent on a limited number of refilling…

Australia’s renewable energy is primarily derived from wind power and solar photovoltaics. Both sources are weather-dependent and are subject to change. Michael Bielinski, the chief executive officer of Siemens Energy in Australia, explains, “You produce energy at times when you may not need it, and when you do need it, you produce nothing.” “Large lithium-ion batteries may intermittently fix this problem for 24 to 48 hours.” However, a solution for medium- to long-term energy storage is required, and this is where hydrogen comes in. Hydrogen is discussed because it can be used to store variable renewable electricity and decarbonize sectors…

The Flint Mass Transportation Authority will receive $4,334,800 to expand the MTA’s zero-emissions bus program. The Federal Transit Administration received the money under its Low and No Emission Vehicle program, which is supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. Flint’s mass transit authority has been constructing a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell buses to replace diesel for over a decade. Currently, 98% of MTA buses run on alternate fuel, but the remaining 2% of diesel buses have a significant impact. Ed Benning, the chief executive officer of the MTA in Flint, states that advancing with zero emissions will be more essential…

Thanks to an international research grant, the development of safe, low-cost, environmentally friendly hydrogen storage materials derived from New Zealand resources has advanced. Professor Sally Brooker of the University of Otago’s Department of Chemistry and Dr. Paul Jerabek of the Institute of Hydrogen Technology, Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon are co-leading a German-New Zealand Green Hydrogen partnership. The alliance, which is sponsored for five years by German and New Zealand money, was created to promote networking and outreach and to construct a research center at Otago. It intends to promote green hydrogen research and industry partnerships between the two countries, thereby creating…

This certification mark may be used by manufacturers to boost their trust in the performance and safety of their systems and components.

Due diligence will now be applied to the project.

The role of storage in establishing a hydrogen economy in the UK is a new paper that makes it obvious that although the implementation of support mechanisms for hydrogen production is going well.

The two countries that suffer the most with energy security and self-sufficiency are South Korea and Japan, two of the biggest hydrogen importers worldwide.
