Hydrogen can be an economically viable supplement to the power supply at peak times – provided that a reversible power-to-gas plant is used for this purpose. This is the result of a new study by Mannheim economists Stefan Reichelstein and Gunther Glenk. In their study, published in the journal Nature Communications, the two authors examine the economic viability for reversible power-to-gas plants using the example of the German and Texas markets in the United States. The advantage of such plants is that they work in two directions: In times of sufficient and cheap supply of wind and solar energy, they…

Toyota New Zealand is collaborating with numerous local businesses to conduct the country’s first commercial hydrogen vehicle trial. The Warehouse, Spark, Air New Zealand, and five other companies will donate cash and participate in the car sharing system to test two Toyota Mirais, with the possibility of adding more over the course of three months. The trial will begin on 1 May in Auckland, with the objective of establishing a zero-emission area in the core city. The cars will be refueled with green hydrogen supplied by Halcyon Power, Japan’s Obayashi Corporation, and Australia’s H2H Energy at the Ports of Auckland.…

Hexagon Purus has agreed to purchase 40% of the liquid hydrogen business of Cryoshelter. The transaction follows Hexagon Composites’ acquisition of a 40% stake in Cryoshelter’s liquid natural gas (LNG) business. Cryoshelter’s liquid hydrogen tank technology is in its infancy and is based on superior and differentiated LNG technology that delivers greater fuel capacity and longer hold durations (a vital requirement for cryogenic storage) than competitor products. The acquisition adds early-stage experience in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero-emission mobility applications, which could result in a future complementary product to Hexagon Purus’ market-leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology. The transaction’s essential…

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) will invest 100 billion won in the Yaeum area of Nam-gu, Ulsan, to construct a hydrogen fusion facility, such as a hydrogen fuel cell power plant.

H2X and Trelleborg Municipality have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop the city’s first hydrogen high-floor buses and waste truck in collaboration with local energy company Trelleborg Energi. This is another significant step toward zero-emission municipal fleets and cleaner air in the city and surrounding areas. The new ecologically friendly bus will be the first of its kind in Europe, as well as the first from H2X Global. The new buses will be equipped with hydrogen fuel cells and super capacitors and will be used as school buses across the city and surrounding areas. The non-binding MOU between…

The new plant, which is located on the Norwegian peninsula of Herya, has a capacity of 500 megawatts.

Volkswagen’s example demonstrates that hydrogen technology will play a significant part in future private transportation.

Thyssenkrupp is aiming to float Nucera, which might be worth up to 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion). Bloomberg News reported in January that it intends to keep controlling ownership in Nucera following any IPO.

H2-Industries facility would convert up to one million tonnes of municipal solid waste each year, but question marks remain over CO2 generated
