Enel Brasil has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Ceará to carry out feasibility studies to develop green hydrogen production projects in the state, the company said in a statement. The initiative is part of the efforts to reduce carbon emissions of Enel Green Power, the renewable generation arm of the Enel group in the country. According to the company, the goal is to join efforts to analyze the assumptions that influence the feasibility of green hydrogen production projects. In the short term, the focus of the studies will be on the development of a green hydrogen…

The steel group highlights the value of the Biscayan factory in its sustainability plan, which reaffirms the goal of making Sestao the world’s first emission-free steel plant. Always on a tightrope, Arcelor Mittal’s Acería Compacta de Bizkaia (ACB), lives on small glimmers of hope that feed the feeling that there is an industrial future in the Luxembourg offices of the steel giant. A year ago, the multinational presented an ambitious production recovery plan to turn Sestao into a leading plant in terms of decarbonization, but the months have passed and the acceleration has not come. Doubts have been growing in…

Liquid hydrogen is much more preferable as an airplane fuel than traditional jet kerosene, but the gas storage system eats up all the benefits. Cryogenic tanks are the solution. Everyone has long known that the autonomy of airliners and their costs are in compromise. For now, it is impossible to create a nearly perfect and cheap aircraft with a significant range, but that could change if the world’s leading airlines decide to incorporate ultralight tanks capable of holding liquid hydrogen inside their machines. Liquid hydrogen is quite suitable for use as aviation fuel. It has a critically low weight and…

Alongside sustainable sanitary trends, the energy turnaround will be one of the main topics at SHK ESSEN from September 6 to 9 at Messe Essen. Because the trade fair with its around 400 exhibitors and the SHK NRW trade association as the conceptual sponsor stands for climate protection in practice. Under the title “Hydrogen Practice in Dialog”, visitors can expect a separate specialist forum for the first time this year in Hall 2 on all aspects of one of the energy sources of the future. There, exhibitors will present, among other things, fields of application for hydrogen in the SHK…

Triton Electric Vehicle, established in the United States, is about to debut its first models in India. The company has claimed that it would soon release hydrogen-powered two- and three-wheeled vehicles. The EV manufacturer will produce these vehicles in India. The launch schedule has not yet been disclosed. Earlier in March, the Tesla competitor revealed that it will establish its first manufacturing site in India in Bhuj, Gujarat. Friday’s announcement was made by Triton Electric Vehicle’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Himangshu Patel. “Very soon, we will have our first motorcycle on Indian roads,” he stated “As he verified, the…

Hydroplane has started a pre-launch, no-obligation waitlist for its first hydrogen fuel cell powerplants. Sign up at Hydroplane’s EAA AirVenture 2022 exhibit (Booths 4055 & 4066 in Hangar D) and receive a free #eMissionH2O water bottle (while supplies last) or online here. “Our fuel cell electric powerplant for single-engine aircraft is your opportunity to combat climate change, at altitude, by emitting only water,” said Hydroplane CEO Dr. Anita Sengupta, herself an avid general aviation pilot. “We are excited to now offer people the opportunity to be the first to transition to sustainable, carbon emission-free propulsion.” Hydroplane is developing a 200…

Two hydrogen fuel cell-based energy generators were successfully tested at a London HS2 construction site, reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality for workers and the local population. The two GeoPura 250kVA hydrogen power units (HPUs) were tested at HS2’s Victoria Road Crossover Box in Ealing over the past year as a direct replacement for diesel generators to power site machinery. The trial, tested and commissioned on-site in August 2021 by HS2’s mains work civils contractor Skanska Costain STRABAG (SCS JV), demonstrates that the products are capable of supplying the necessary energy to power site operations equipment. Andrea Davidson, HS2’s…

The Delta coal plant is being shut down. In this little Utah town surrounded by livestock, alfalfa farms, and desert roadways bordered with sagebrush, hundreds of people will be laid off over the next few years due to environmental laws and competition from cheaper energy sources. Yet, across the street from the coal stacks and furnace, beneath dusty fields, another shift is occurring that could play a vital role in delivering clean energy and supplanting some of these employment. Here in the desolate Utah desert, developers aim to excavate underground caverns in ancient salt dome formations to store hydrogen fuel…

The Scottish Government has established additional funding to expedite the generation and storage of hydrogen as a renewable fuel. The £10 million Hydrogen Innovation Scheme will give capital support over the next four years in order to encourage greater private investment in the technology and facilitate the entry of new enterprises into the sector. The initial funding round will prioritize initiatives that promote the sustainable production of renewable hydrogen. Its effective storage and distribution, as well as its incorporation into our energy system, are essential to its viability. ScotGov has pledged to invest £100 million in hydrogen over the course…

By completing its first set of system-level trade studies, the H2GEAR program has reached a critical milestone. The research centered on the architecture and technology selection of propulsion subsystems for 19, 48, and 96 PAX concept aircraft. GKN Aerospace’s advancements in fuel cell system integration, along with hyperconducting power networks and motor drive systems, will expedite the scaling of hydrogen-powered electric propulsion, according to current research. Max Brown, Vice President Technology for GKN Aerospace, said: “Our initial view was that the introduction of hydrogen electric propulsion to 19 PAX aircraft would be easier than for large aircraft, however, development of…
