ZeroAvia is well on its way to certifying its ZA600 600kW powerplant for smaller, 10-20 passenger aircraft.

According to a government official, Namibia is considering issuing green bonds to finance projects that use renewable energy to manufacture hydrogen for export. The southern African nation of little about 2.7 million people has detailed a big construction project, partly due to the favorable conditions for solar- and wind-powered energy required for fuel production. James Mnyupe, the government’s green hydrogen commissioner, stated in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos that a number of finance methods are being investigated, with production to begin within four years. In an effort to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce reliance…

Enterprise Estonia (EAS) and Kredex are preparing to grant an additional 10 million euros through a program in applied research for projects of Estonian enterprises that contribute to cooperation in the framework of significant projects of common European interest (IPCEI) in the hydrogen value chain. Andres Sutt, Minister of Entrepreneurship and Information Technology, stated that the pursuit of climate neutrality and the numerous energy solutions that enable it are more crucial than ever. Sutt stated in a news release, “Russia’s actions in Ukraine clearly illustrates the need to minimize EU member states’ reliance on energy supplies from third countries and…

The R&D findings of ‘Project N,’ a hydrogen fuel cell and battery-based multi-copter drone built for research purposes, were shown for the first time by Hyundai Motor Group.

The two firms agreed to collaborate in a variety of areas, including the expansion of liquid hydrogen onshore storage tanks and the development of liquid hydrogen transportation vessel technology, according to this agreement.

Since its founding on 7 July 2021, and with the support of the Government of China and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the International Hydrogen Energy Centre (IHEC) has been supporting the development of hydrogen energy, including through the world’s largest demonstration project of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which will be led by IHEC and Beijing Sinohytec, as more than 850 hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles. The buses traveled over 3.2 million kilometers and burned approximately 200 tons of green hydrogen, saving an estimated 2,000 tons of carbon. Another IHEC flagship…

The number of patent applications in the sector grew by over a quarter between 2016 and 2020.

In conjunction with worldwide research partners, a CoorsTek Membrane Sciences development team has successfully developed a scalable hydrogen generator that produces hydrogen from electricity and fuels such as natural gas, biogas, and ammonia with near-zero energy loss. “Energy efficiency is critical to hydrogen’s future as a clean fuel.” “Our research shows that protonic membranes can efficiently produce hydrogen from ammonia, natural gas, and biogas, implying that hydrogen fuel cell cars will have a lower carbon footprint than electric cars charged from the grid,” said Irene Yuste, a chemical engineer at CoorsTek Membrane Sciences and a PhD candidate at the University…

Hydrogen is critical for Wilbrand and the rest of Shell to help the world shift from carbon-emitting fossil fuels to renewable energy.

Germany and South Africa want to expand their relations, but have clear differences in their dealings with Russia. South Africa’s President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa spoke on Tuesday after a meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz of a new strategic stage in cooperation, especially in the energy sector and education. With more than 600 German companies, Germany is already the second most important trading partner of G20 country South Africa, he said. “We want to become one of the key countries for hydrogen technology,” he announced. Scholz had traveled to South Africa, an economic heavyweight on the southern continent, at the end…
