In Assemini, in the metropolitan city of Cagliari, a new electrolysis plant will be built for the production and storage of hydrogen intended both for use as a raw material in the industrial cycle, to develop the volumes of current production, and for sale in the sustainable mobility sector. The project, financed with 1.5 million euros provided by Intesa Sanpaolo and assisted by Sace’s 80% Green Guarantee., was presented by Società Chimica Assemini, which belongs to Gestioni Industriali Group (GIG) and specializes in the production of basic electrolytic chemistry (chlor-alkali). The project idea also envisions that the volumes of oxygen,…

Smoltek Nanotech Holding has announced that the group firm Smoltek Innovation has inked a collaboration agreement with a major multinational producer of electrolyzer materials. The collaborative agreement comprises the development of PEM electrolyzer demonstrations using Smoltek’s highly efficient nanofiber-based cell material. A collaboration agreement between the parties stipulates that Smoltek’s carbon nanofibers and corrosion protection will be integrated with other materials from the manufacturer and catalyst particles from a third party to create a laboratory-scale demonstration. This demonstration material will subsequently be included into a complete PEM electrolyzer cell, after which its performance will be tested and measured. “It is…

Yunfu, a Guangdong city known for its masonry and quarries, is quietly carving out a role in the global supply of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, a novel propulsion method important to cutting greenhouse gases. Workers at Sinosynergy installed storage bottles and hydrogen fuel stacks on a vehicle before its delivery to Ningxia region in northeastern China. The bus had front and rear doors, 20 seats, and standing room. The bus is powered by burning hydrogen, which produces just water vapour and no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.

Hyster announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) to offer two Hyster electric container handling vehicles, including the world’s first empty container handler powered by fuel cell technology in a real-world application. Moreover, this will be the first Hyster terminal tractor to be distributed in Europe. Both units will be fueled by hydrogen produced locally at the HHLA Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub and powered by Nuvera fuel cells. Hyster’s fuel cell-powered clean port equipment is a crucial component of the “Clean Port and Logistics” initiative and the H2LOAD project, which aims to achieve carbon…

The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, considered that Portugal is an “interesting partner” in the area of green hydrogen and converged with the Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa, on the need for “more international cooperation. In a speech at the opening ceremony of the Hannover fair – which chose this year Portugal as a partner country – Olaf Scholz said that during the German presidency of the G7, which began in January, intends to “create an international climate club, which will be open to all countries that agree on some minimum standards for environmental protection. The chancellor said that, with regard…

Portugal wants to produce hydrogen on artificial islands with wind turbines in the middle of the sea. The northern European countries, such as Denmark, were pioneers in this concept of creating “energy islands” off the coast of the North Sea, connected to land by submarine cables. The Minister of Economy believes that “the future will pass through hydrogen” and that Portugal has the capacity to be a solution in production precisely through offshore wind power. The government has already announced for 2023 the first auction of offshore wind power in Portugal. “The future will pass through hydrogen and Portugal has…
