A team from the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) has developed a near-zero-emissions, high-power, and high-brake thermal-efficiency control technique for 2.0L direct-injection hydrogen engines. Their research is published in the journal Fuel. Hydrogen engines with direct injection (DI) may generate high power with great thermal efficiency and a minimal risk of aberrant combustion. Despite the fact that hydrogen is carbon-free and eliminates several criterion pollutants, the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) remains significant in DI hydrogen engines operating under heavy loads. Some experiments have focused on lowering NOx emissions from medium-powered, normally aspirated or supercharged engines.

Estonia will soon kick off its Hydrogen Valley Estonia project, which aims to establish a nationwide hydrogen value chain within six years to accelerate the energy transition and improve energy independence. Under the motto “going from zero to green”, Hydrogen Valley Estonia is a joint project between three regions, a university and five of the country’s largest energy and industrial companies. Currently, Hydrogen Valley Estonia is said to have about 30 projects under development. According to a press release issued by the Tartu city government, hydrogen production will first be developed in six of the country’s regions. The hydrogen will…

During flying testing in April of 2012, a hydrogen-powered ZeroAvia test aircraft lost power and crashed. The Air Accidents Inquiry Branch (AAIB) of the United Kingdom has concluded its investigation and determined that the hydrogen system was not to blame. ZeroAvia is at the forefront of a wave of businesses aiming to commercialize clean aviation fueled by green hydrogen. Hydrogen, which is more energy-dense than batteries, may provide greater endurance and range than battery packs, whether it is used in combustion engines or used to power an electric powertrain via a fuel cell stack, as was the case with ZeroAvia’s…

Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions (Toshiba ESS) and Echandia, a Swedish business that develops, manufactures, and sells batteries and fuel cell systems for maritime applications, have entered into a cooperation. The alliance will focus on the development of fuel-cell and battery technology to speed the electrification of the marine industry. The two firms have been working together for some time. Echandia’s Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) battery systems have been utilizing the Goshiba rechargeable LTO battery cell SCiB. For instance, Echandia supplied the battery systems for an extensive fleet of electric ferries in India. Now, Echandia observes an increase in demand…

Robert Habeck, the German minister for economics and the environment, has chosen former energy state secretary Rainer Baake as special envoy for energy cooperation with Namibia. Baake is entrusted with achieving the massive expansion of a green hydrogen economy in the southern African nation. The investment volume for the first expansion phase of a proposal to manufacture green H2 from ultra-affordable wind and solar electricity and convert it into green ammonia that can be delivered to Germany is almost equivalent to Namibia’s current gross domestic product, according to the ministry. Statista, a German market research firm, forecasts that Namibia’s GDP…

According to the nation’s electricity minister, India is on pace to become a worldwide leader in green hydrogen and to challenge China’s leading position in the solar energy industry. Rapidly increasing renewables investments, including those from outside, are helping to position India as a vital future provider of clean energy technologies and as an exporter of hydrogen and ammonia with low emissions. Tuesday in Sydney, Power and Renewable Energy Minister Raj Kumar Singh stated. “After China, we will be the largest manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells and modules,” Singh said on the sidelines of a two-day energy summit and meetings…

Linde has announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates in order to identify and develop projects that will contribute to MOEI’s Energy Strategy 2050 and the UAE Net Zero Initiative for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. According to the firm, the combined initiatives will focus on four primary areas: hydrogen mobility, carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen generation via electrolysis, and hydrogen blending with natural gas. According to H.E. Sharif Al Olama, UAE Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs, “The UAE recognizes Clean Energy as…

Newtrace has found a technology that makes the manufacturing of green hydrogen at least five times cheaper than conventional approaches. After nearly a decade of studying and working in Europe, founders Prasanta Sarkar and Rochan Sinha returned to India to find the places where they had grown up dirtier, more polluted, and more prone to unexpected torrential flash showers. Prasanta, whose father worked for ONGC, the largest crude oil and natural gas corporation in India, was always interested by energy, machinery, and hardware. While obtaining his PhD in the Netherlands, Rochan, who came from a family of physicians, had previously…

The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) will conduct a study into the safe operation of hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas pipelines. Prior to establishing a matching test infrastructure, it is directed at industry and academic specialists in order to evaluate existing and future issues, requirements, and priorities. The Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) commissioned BAM to establish a test platform for hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas pipelines. The facility aims to give industry, science, and gas grid operators with the ability to resolve technical challenges rapidly and in a practical manner, therefore greatly accelerating the hydrogen market’s growth…

Hydrogen energy is recognized as the clean energy with the greatest growth potential in the 21st century because to its numerous sources, absence of emissions, eco-friendliness, and wide variety of uses. FCV (fuel cell vehicles) are one of the primary routes for hydrogen energy utilization. Nevertheless, the development of FCV must not only overcome technological obstacles, but also address the issue of hydrogen energy supply. As an essential component of hydrogen application infrastructure, hydrogen refueling stations are the attention of several energy companies and nations. Asia and Europe are the most active regions for the building of hydrogen refueling stations…
