Together with exporting nations, the port of Rotterdam and the cluster of businesses located here will be able to supply Northwest Europe with 4.6 million tonnes of hydrogen per year by 2030. This is significantly more than anticipated. The usage of 4.6 million tonnes of hydrogen reduces CO2 emissions by 46 million tonnes, hence enhancing Europe’s energy independence. This is the total amount of hydrogen that the Port of Rotterdam Authority has calculated based on specific projects and realistic plans that firms and exporting nations are now implementing. The Port of Rotterdam Authority made this offer to European commissioner Frans…

At ACT Expo in Long Beach, California, Cummins Inc. revealed their 15-liter hydrogen engine. This engine is constructed on Cummins’ new fuel-agnostic architecture; below the head gasket, each fuel type’s engine has basically identical components, while above the head gasket, each fuel type’s engine has unique components. This model, which is projected to reach full production by 2027, couples with clean, zero-carbon hydrogen fuel, a major enabler of Cummins’ ambition to assist customers cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by going further, quicker. “We’ve established significant goals as part of our PLANET 2050 sustainability strategy, including a target of zero emissions,”…
The German-based multinational renewable energy company ENERTRAG is planning the Tambor Green Hydrogen Hub in Uruguay’s Tacuarembó Department. The project will include wind and solar power plants, in addition to an electrolyzer and conversion facilities for the generation of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Given its world-class wind and solar resources, interest in Latin and South America’s potential for producing green hydrogen has steadily increased in recent years. In addition to the Uruguayan government’s strong commitment to a green energy transition, these are crucial variables for the competitive generation of large-scale renewable energy. Uruguay is currently planning to become an…
The Green Hydrogen Organization announced that the first-ever Green Hydrogen Global Assembly and Exhibition will be held in Barcelona on 17 and 18 May 2022. Press credentials are available for the assembly, where big announcements and agreements will be made to advance green energy security in Europe and beyond. The assembly, co-hosted by the Spanish government, occurs at a crucial time in history. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report confirmed that the world must act swiftly to avert climate-related catastrophes. At the assembly, groundbreaking new initiatives will be introduced, including The 100 by 2030 Campaign, The Green…
Patriot Hydrogen is preparing to deliver its revolutionary Patriot units to Kimberley Clean Energy for a large-scale hydrogen project in Western Australia. A distinctive feature of the hydrogen units is that they utilize waste and biomass to make hydrogen, enabling for the generation of green fuel while being remote and mobile. This might be a market revolution and increase hydrogen production methods worldwide. The Patriot modular unit will be placed as part of Kimberley Clean Energy’s fossil fuel substitution strategy, with the addition of a hydrogen system considered as the next phase of the project. Once the unit arrives at…
Brazil is making an effort to enter the global map of H2V (H2 for hydrogen and V for green) production, a clean fuel with potential to meet demands of the electrical and automotive sectors with low environmental impact. By the end of this year, EDP Brasil, one of the leading companies in the energy sector in the country, plans to start activities in a pilot plant for H2V production in São Gonçalo do Amarante, in the state of Ceará. The hydrogen will be obtained through water electrolysis, a chemical process that uses electric current to break down water into its…
Airplanes at Groningen Airport Eelde will soon be powered by hydrogen when parked on the ground. The airport announced this on Monday morning. Holthausen Clean Technology will develop the new Ground Power Unit (GPU) in collaboration with the Province of Drenthe, KLM Equipment Service (KES) and Groningen Airport Eelde. A GPU is a generator for aircraft on the ground and the ones that are now used at the airport are mainly powered by diesel. KES is making such a device available to the airport so that it can be used to experiment with hydrogen technology. In the hydrogen GPU being…
Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, has received its first order for cylinders to be used in the onboard storage of hydrogen in maritime vessels. Hydrogen cylinders of type 4 from Hexagon Purus will be utilized in swappable onboard storage containers for European inland waterway vessels. The order is valued at around EUR 1,1 million. “Our Type 4 high-pressure cylinders are at the core of what we do and with their corrosion resistance and long lifetime, the cylinders enable lower operational cost and total cost of ownership, which makes them ideal for maritime applications”, says Robert Haugen,…
BEH2YDRO will release its 100 percent hydrogen engines for heavy-duty applications. These new, zero-emission engines are ready for use and will enable the sector to engage in further 100 percent sustainable and environmentally friendly development. ABC and CMB.TECH are partners in BEH2YDRO. After the successful launch of dual-fuel engines in September 2020, BEH2YDRO is currently launching hydrogen-only engines. “We can speak of a real milestone here with the BEH2YDRO combustion engines on 100% hydrogen ! Zero emissions together with high efficiency and simplicity of concept for numerous applications.” – Tim Berckmoes, CEO of ABC Engines.” Dual-fuel engines Operating on 85…
ZeroAvia, the leader in hydrogen-electric solutions for aviation, today announced a partnership with its strategic investor Shell1, which will design and construct two commercial-scale mobile refuelers for use at ZeroAvia’s research and development facility in Hollister, California. The news follows recent optimistic forecasts on the declining cost trajectory of hydrogen fuel and a flurry of State-led activity for establishing H2 Hubs as the Department of Energy prepares to accept bids from throughout the United States. Shell will send compressed, low-carbon hydrogen to ZeroAvia’s Hollister test facility and other places in the Western United States. This strategic partnership will promote the…
