Carburos Metálicos has successfully concluded its participation in a pioneering initiative to accompany the ceramic and glass manufacturing industry on its path towards decarbonization, in line with the national and European objectives that set the year 2050 as the deadline for achieving an economy with a neutral balance in CO2 emissions. One of the alternatives available to the ceramics sector to move towards this goal is the transition to natural gas and hydrogen mixtures in ceramic tile firing kilns, as well as in frit melting kilns. The Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC-AICE) of Castellón, a reference in this field in…

Changan is launching the first hydrogen-powered car to go into mass production in China. Marketed under the Deep Blue brand, it promises up to 700 kilometers of autonomy. Already known for their appetite for electric cars, Chinese carmakers are gradually moving into hydrogen. Based in Chongqing, in the southwest of the country, Changan is one of the first Chinese manufacturers to present a hydrogen car ready for mass production. Called the SL03 and marketed under the Deep Blue brand, the mid-size sedan is 4.82 m long, 1.89 m wide and 1.48 m high (with a 2.9 m wheelbase). Up to…

The Lower Bavarian market town of Pfeffenhausen is ambitiously driving forward the expansion of renewables in the town with citizens’ energy cooperatives. This commitment secured the municipality the contract for the construction of a hydrogen center and government subsidies of over 100 million euros.From 2023, local renewable electricity from Markt Pfeffenhausen will be used to produce green hydrogen. Green hydrogen from Markt Pfeffenhausen Alongside Chemnitz, Duisburg and a North German consortium, Markt Pfeffenhausen also successfully applied to become a site for a national hydrogen center in 2021. This is associated with federal funding of 72.5 million euros. The project is…

Over the next five years, there may be a significant increase in the number of hydrogen-powered vehicles in use worldwide. There are already approximately 60,000 hydrogen-powered automobiles on the road. According to a new estimate, this number will reach one million by 2027’s end. The analysis from Juniper Research identifies hydrogen vehicles as a potential option to battery electric automobiles (EVs). It was discovered that the possibility for increased range and rapid refueling was superior to that of electric vehicles, hence alleviating customer concerns around EV ownership. Hydrogen vehicles have advantages over electric vehicles. The paper cited a number of…

What is the hydrogen potential in the Havelland district and how do the many actors there connect? To answer these problems, the district has commissioned a feasibility study to be conducted by the Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI), the IAV Ingenieurgesellschaft Auto und Verkehr, Consulting4Drive, and the Institute for Climate Protection, Energy, and Mobility. Tuesday marked the start of the ‘H2VL’ initiative with a digital launch event. The BMDV finances the development of the Havelland district as a hydrogen zone under the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP2). Coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by Project Management…

Hanwha Solutions has joined Shell’s efforts to construct a broad infrastructure for hydrogen refueling in California. The Korean firm will expedite California’s energy transition and decarbonization ambitions by supplying the oil giant with high-pressure hydrogen tanks for transport inside its network of stations. Hanwha Cimarron, the hydrogen tank manufacturing business of Hanwha Solutions, announced that it has signed a purchase order with Shell to provide its Type IV high-pressure Neptune hydrogen tanks. The vessels with a capacity of 2,000 liters and carbon fiber reinforcement can store hydrogen at a pressure of 517 bar, the greatest pressure level among Type IV…

The French Embassy on July 25 hosted the signing ceremony for the corporation agreement between Hydrogene de France SA (HDF Energy) and Saigon Asset Management Corporation (SAM) for the construction of a chain of hydrogen and renewable energy producing projects in Vietnam. Ambassador of the French Republic in Vietnam Nicholas Warnery, Deputy Director of the Economic Department Laurent Chopiton, and Director of Business France Yann de Kerlivio Frollo were present at the ceremony.

On a cloudy day in early June of this year, engineers gathered around laptops displaying data on the state, health, and power output of the cells in this first-of-its-kind hydrogen generator, which contained hydrogen fuel cells packed into two 40-foot-long shipping containers. “This is it, it’s running at three megawatts right now,” exclaimed Mark Monroe, a principal infrastructure engineer on Microsoft’s team for datacenter advanced development. Engineers from Plug, who constructed the fuel cell system, erupted in applause and cheers, which penetrated the white noise emanating from the fans atop the shipping containers and pipes emitting steam. Microsoft reached a…

Iberdrola and bp have declared their intent to develop a strategic partnership with the purpose of accelerating the energy transition. Together, the firms want to establish large-scale green hydrogen production hubs in Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, as well as considerably extend the public charging infrastructure for fast EVs to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. The Chairman of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán, has stated: “with this agreement, we continue advancing in the decarbonization and energy self-sufficiency through the electrification of two key sectors of our economy, transport and industry. The scale of this challenge requires alliances between companies such…
