easyJet and Rolls-Royce have established a new partnership, H2ZERO, that will pioneer the development of hydrogen combustion engine technology capable of powering a variety of aircraft, including narrow-body aircraft. Both firms have agreed to collaborating on a series of ground-based engine tests beginning later this year and share the goal of taking the technology into the air. The cooperation aims to demonstrate that hydrogen has the ability to power a variety of aircraft beginning in the mid-2030s. While Rolls-Royce will provide its expertise in engine development and combustion systems to H2ZERO, easyJet will contribute its operational knowledge and experience, as…

According to a report, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has now confirmed that Germany wants to purchase gas from Egypt, as well as hydrogen in the future. In the current crisis, it would be important to have different well ePartners and not to fixate on only one partner. The President of Egypt, Abd al-Fattah as-Sisi noted in this regard that the country was interested in trade, with the energy and gas crisis also being a burden in Egypt. Egypt has been able to export gas through LNG terminals since 2018. Scholz does not want to rely on a single gas supplier “Germany…

The bench-scale hydrogen production test facility at Kola NPP in Murmansk Region is planned to be launched in 2025. “Today we are in the active design stage and in the stage of creating innovative modern electrolysers that will allow us to get good hydrogen. The plan is to complete the design next year, and in 2025, to have this complex fully operational,” he said. Vasily Omelchuk added that the production is planned to produce 200 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour – about 150 tons per year. The substance will be stored in cylinders with a pressure of 400 atmospheres.…

Air Liquide subsidiary Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Industrial Gases (SCIPIG) will invest over 200 million euros to construct two hydrogen production units and accompanying infrastructure in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP). These units are intended to replace the current supply from a coal-based gasification unit owned by a third party, will be fitted with CO2 capture and recycling technology, and will be connected to SCIPIG’s existing local network. In addition to the two hydrogen units and four air separation units that SCIPIG presently operates in the Park, these two units will be added. These facilities will manufacture hydrogen and carbon…

A European project endowed with 1.6 million euros will develop a “roadmap” from which a line of urban buses powered by hydrogen in the city of Huesca will be promoted. This was announced yesterday by the Vice President and Minister of Industry, Competitiveness and Business Development and President of the Foundation for the Development of New Hydrogen Technologies in Aragon, Arturo Aliaga, during the conference “Actions around Hydrogen in Aragon”. During this event, framed within the Interreg Europe Smart Hy Aware project, led by the Department of Industry, through the Aragonese Development Institute, Arturo Aliaga advanced this new European project…

Hyundai has signed a memorandum of understanding with Europe’s Rolls-Royce to develop electric and hydrogen propulsion systems for the air mobility market. The partnership will leverage Rolls-Royce’s expertise in the aeronautical sector and Hyundai’s industrial and hydrogen technology capabilities. The goal? To have the first air cab ready by 2025. The MOU between Hyundai Motor Group and Rolls-Royce includes five strategic objectives: collaboration between Rolls-Royce and specifically Hyundai’s Advanced Air Mobility division on technology development and solutions related to propulsion and electric systems; collaboration for the industrialization of Rolls-Royce’s electric and propulsion systems intended for the Advanced Air Mobility market;…

Oil, coal and gas have been the engines that, for several centuries, have allowed the world to advance and improve the socioeconomic conditions of the population. On the contrary, the burning of fossil fuels has also led to an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, with all the negative consequences this represents for our planet, starting with climate change. In this context, a new alternative is now emerging that can help decarbonize the economy: green hydrogen. In addition to being the most abundant chemical element in nature, the main advantage of hydrogen is that its combustion does not emit CO2…

In China, for example, Comau is collaborating with Shanghai Hydrogen Propulsion Technology (herein referred to as SHPT), a leading hydrogen fuel cell company in Shanghai, to provide an advanced mass production line. Similarly, in other projects, the company is pursuing opportunities to create, produce, and commercialize hydrogen solutions for light and heavy-duty vehicles, working on an electrolyzer manufacturing pilot project in Europe, and on opportunities in Oceania. All of these projects aim to industrialize largely manual manufacturing environments. This will allow production volumes to be raised and the quality of high-precision processes to be increased. Automation can also reduce costs…

Dynamic Efficiency, the technical partner of Poseidon Marine H2, has begun testing hydrogen fuel cells for the innovative marine technology that will allow boats to run more efficiently on hydrogen fuels. The test results will be essential, as they will demonstrate how Poseidon Marine H2 can optimize the performance of the fuel cells they will be employing.This, together with the finite element study, proof of concept, certification, and provisional patent that the firm will have gained by the end of the third quarter of 2022, will give the company the leverage necessary to create offtake agreements with significant boat manufacturers.…

Shell New Energies NL BV, ENGIE, Vopak, and Anthony Veder have signed an agreement to investigate the viability of producing, liquifying, and transporting green hydrogen from Portugal to the Netherlands, where it would be stored and sold. The consortium intends electrolyzing renewable energy to produce hydrogen in the industrial zone of the port of Sines. The hydrogen is then liquefied and transported to the port of Rotterdam through a liquid hydrogen carrier for distribution and sale. By 2027, the objective is to transport liquid hydrogen from Sines to Rotterdam. Key sector players in Heavy duty, Marine and Aviation support this…
