Experts in lightweight construction from Saxony collaborate on an eastern German hydrogen-powered aircraft. Specifically, a Dresden collaboration is building a lightweight hydrogen tank for the experimental Apus i-5 “H” aircraft, which the Strausberg-based company Apus and Rolls-Royce have been designing together since 2019. This was disclosed by the Institute of Lightweight Construction and Plastics Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden, one of the project’s research partners. Concentrate on high energy density and compact installation Thus, Saxony is working on a major issue pertaining to alternative energy sources for aircraft: neither batteries nor hydrogen have yet attained the energy density of kerosene.…

Aurora Hydrogen, a business researching emission-free hydrogen production technology based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, raised $10 million USD in Series A funding. Energy Innovation Capital led the financing, while Williams, Shell Ventures, Chevron Technology Ventures, and the George Kaiser Family Foundation also participated. The researchers had secured extra money from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) earlier this year. The company wants to use the funding to construct and run a 200 kg-H2/day demonstration facility in Edmonton, Canada, for field experiments. Aurora Hydrogen, led by CEO Andrew Gillis, is creating a clean hydrogen manufacturing method that…

Toshiba EES, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Toshiba, has activated a hydrogen car filling station in Niigata, the capital of Niigata Prefecture in the Chūbu region of Japan. The H2One ST Unit, which the business has already placed in various locations in Japan, is intended to power fuel cell buses and is powered by a 20 kW photovoltaic array located nearby. According to the business, the system can refuel about eight hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in three minutes each vehicle. It may also provide both hydrogen fuel and electricity to fuel cell automobiles by utilizing hydrogen produced with renewable…

The Chinese group CTG opened in Brazil a center for the study of green hydrogen, in a project that aims to consolidate a “hub” (exchanger) of this fuel in the port of Suape. The so-called “Tech-Hub” of CTG Brazil and the National Service of Learning in Industry (Senai) will have an initial investment of 45 million reais (about 9 million dollars) and in its initial phase will be focused on “promoting the development of innovative solutions” for the so-called “fuel of the future”. Green or renewable hydrogen (H2V) is generated through the process of “electrolysis of water”, which is the…

During the month of July, the Province, through the Investment Agency, participated in a seminar organized by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection of Germany (BMWK), within the framework of the H2Global Project, where it worked together with other countries in the design of financing tools to promote productive poles of Green Hydrogen and derivatives. The German H2Global Program aims to finance, develop and promote scale production points of green hydrogen and derivatives such as green ammonia and methanol, as well as a supply market, thus responding to the energy crisis from green technologies. Currently, the German government’s…

Modena is increasingly focusing on hydrogen. A production, storage and distribution chain of green hydrogen – made, that is, from renewable sources – and a skills and training center. This is the “H2 move” project undertaken by Modena’s Cedem consortium (formed by a number of small companies that are members of Modena’s Cna) on the Via Emilia axis between the Bologna and Parma areas. “The hydrogen in question,” explains consortium president Marco Malagoli, “would be produced by plants powered by renewable energies (hydroelectric power plants, photovoltaic fields, biomass), giving priority to the former, particularly from those already present in the…

Morocco has continued during the year 2022 on its momentum in the development of green hydrogen, commonly known as Power-to-X, continuing to attract major investors, to the point of being considered by observers as a new Eldorado for it. Indeed, the Kingdom is today one of the best positioned countries in the revolution of this green energy, a technology for which it could offer the lowest production costs in the world. Moreover, Morocco, which enjoys a “significant” potential to develop this new sector of the energy transition, was in 2022 at the forefront of the deployment of large-scale solar and…

Korea Petroleum Corporation and Air Products signed a “MOU to promote Clean hydrogen/Clean Ammonia business” on the 29th, with officials including Kim Dong-sup, President of Korea Petroleum Corporation, Wilbur Mok, President of Air Products Asia, Kim Seung-rok, President of Air Products Korea, and Ahn Beom-hee, ESG Director of Korea Petroleum Corporation. In accordance with the Agreement, Korea Petroleum Corporation and Air Products will jointly review cooperation for the construction of clean ammonia acquisition bases and infrastructure in Korea, and participation in the development and business of clean hydrogen/ammonia at home and abroad. With more than 60 years of hydrogen production…

ETSU Oil announced on the 1st that it has signed a business agreement to build a R&D cooperation system with FCI, which provides clean energy solutions based on fuel cells. The two companies decided to gather strength for research and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell fuel diversification, which is noted as a next-generation energy source, and for commercialization using it. To this end, we will conduct demonstration projects at home and abroad and international joint research to develop hydrogen production processes through ammonia decomposition, fuel custom solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) product technologies such as LNG, LPG, ammonia, and hydrogen, and…

For climate protection, it is necessary to replace fossil energy sources. In the case of natural gas, this is currently intensified by the Ukraine war and dependence on Russian natural gas. Therefore, the German government plans to deploy up to four floating terminals and to build two stationary LNG terminals in Brunsbüttel and in Stade. The VDI points out the inclusion of hydrogen use in the planning. Why this is important. In the current situation, the construction of LNG terminals is very urgent. Since these are long-term investments, VDI advocates that the terminals should also be able to be used…
