Germany and the United States have decided to work together.

In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint to zero, Indian Railways has awarded a contract to Hyderabad-based Medha Servo Drives for the retrofitting of one Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) rake on the Sonipat-Jind line. In addition, the Railways have finalized a plan to introduce narrow gauge locomotives powered by hydrogen fuel cells on the Kalka-Shimla stretch. According to the Railways, the contract to develop hydrogen fuel cell-based technology that can be utilized to modify current diesel-powered trains has been awarded to Medha at an anticipated cost of approximately Rs 70 crore. As hydrogen is less expensive than diesel,…

Chile signed agreements with the first three companies selected to provide capital for the development of industrial-scale green hydrogen production projects, equivalent to what is currently in operation worldwide. The state development agency Corfo signed the agreements for a total electrolysis capacity of 388 megawatts with the regasification plant GNL Quintero, the iron producer CAP and Air Liquide. “Not only is this a great opportunity for economic development, but it is also a key piece in advancing towards a just energy transition and the challenge of decarbonization to face the climate crisis,” said Corfo’s executive vice-president, José Miguel Benavente, quoted…

Energy storage is one of the bottlenecks of renewables. In technical jargon, sun and wind are intermittent sources: meaning, trivially, that there is no light at night and the wind does not always blow as we would like. In order to think about an economy based on green sources, the issue of energy storage, to be released when possible, becomes, thus, central. The methods devised by engineers are varied. There is, for example, the hydroelectric one: you pump water up with excess energy, then drop it back into penstocks and then turn the motion back into energy as needed. Counterintuitive,…

The nuclear power industry has rolled up its sleeves to “develop nuclear clean hydrogen technology.” The Korea Atomic Energy Industry Association announced on the 27th that it held a business agreement ceremony for the “development and commercialization of nuclear clean hydrogen technology” through the “Nuclear Clean Hydrogen Business Forum” held at the Novotel Ambassador Hotel in Seoul. Nuclear clean hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced through a water electrolysis method using electricity and steam generated from nuclear power plants. Public, private, and academia, including Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Korea Electric Power Corp., Doosan Energy Mobility Co., POSCO Holdings Co., Korea Institute of Energy Research Co., Hydrogen Fusion Alliance Co., Korea Hydrogen and New Energy Association Co., and Korea Atomic…

Green hydrogen (H2) as an alternative energy is a field in which Nigeria and Germany have convened for the first time to strengthen their cooperation. This contradicts the worldwide emphasis on transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources. The Minister of Power, Eng. Abubakar D. Aliyu, praised the countries’ particularly on renewable energy at the symposium held yesterday in Abuja and hosted by the German international cooperation agency GIZ via the German-Nigerian Hydrogen Office. He stated, “Nigeria is eager to explore the opportunities that the young hydrogen economy could provide for our energy transition, and we are quite interested…

In April 2022, representatives from the Port of Tallinn and the Port of Gdynia Authority SA signed a letter of intent on hydrogen management collaboration. The objective of cooperation is the joint implementation of projects involving the production, storage, and distribution of “green” hydrogen and the use of zero-emission fuels in creating added value in logistics supply chains of goods and services, as well as the exchange of information on innovative development projects involving the use of zero-emission fuels for seaports and the broader maritime economy. Ports are committed to establishing a carbon-free and low-carbon economy. The Port of Tallinn…

Lowering carbon emissions through the use of green hydrogen.

The new Enginius brand is being introduced by the Lower Saxony vehicle manufacturer Faun, which specializes in municipal cars. Customers all across the world will benefit from the offer, which comprises trucks powered by hydrogen-electric fuel cells. The vehicles are built on Daimler Trucks chassis. The firm aspires to be the European market leader for hydrogen-powered vehicles on short and medium-haul routes by 2030. Faun has previously demonstrated that hydrogen is perfectly suited to powering big vehicles with its municipal vehicles. “Our cars are on the road where families live and children play.” As a result, it is critical that…

The exhaust gas specialists from the Eberspaecher Group introduce the H2-ICE exhaust system, which is exclusively built for exhaust-gas after treatment in hydrogen engines.
