The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) will invest almost R$ 13 million by 2023 in the production of green hydrogen in Brazil. The funds will be used to train professionals through the National Service for Industrial Training (Senai). Green hydrogen is a fuel, which can be used in vehicles, produced with electricity from clean and renewable energy sources. Matrixes such as hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass are included in the list. In other words: it is zero carbon: obtained without CO2 emission. Center of Excellence in Green Hydrogen The initiative will generate the Center of Excellence in Green Hydrogen…

The state hydrocarbons company, Petroperu, said that as part of the start-up tests of the New Talara Refinery, in the Piura region, started last April 12, the Hydrogen Production/Purification Unit (PHP) is scheduled to start up by mid-May. He indicated that its construction and equipping has been completed on schedule, including the testing of equipment with energy and fluids inside (commissioning), under the supervision of manufacturers and technologists. He said that the start-up activities of this auxiliary unit of the New Talara Refinery are currently being coordinated jointly with the contractor Cobra Synohidro, the licensor Haldor Topsoe and the main…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Firstgas Group (Firstgas) have announced a new collaboration to examine creating green hydrogen projects with the goal of further decarbonizing New Zealand’s energy system and enhancing energy security. FFI and Firstgas have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to explore options to manufacture and supply green hydrogen to tens of thousands of New Zealand homes and companies. Firstgas operates New Zealand’s largest gas network, with over 2,500 kilometers of high-pressure transmission pipelines and 4,800 kilometers of distribution pipelines linking over 300,000 households and businesses to gas. Firstgas proposed a plan in March 2021 to…

By 2030, Daimler Buses intends to offer zero-emission cars in all segments (both battery and hydrogen-powered). Beginning in 2023, the Mercedes eCitaro will also be available with a range extender powered by a hydrogen-based fuel cell. In 2025, the first fully electric intercity bus will be introduced. Toyota supplied the eCitaro Range Extender’s fuel cell, which is in its second version. It is a heavy-duty unit capable of producing up to 60 kW. Daimler Buses has stated that it will not invest in Euro VII in Class I buses and anticipates that e-buses will account for 75% of public transport…

The port of Rotterdam is quickly affected by global changes. This is why I enjoy this field so much: the dynamics, the capability for as well as the demand for rapid adaptation, you can practically feel it. The world around us is likewise in full swing at the moment. In Rotterdam, the importance of being less reliant on a single country’s gas imports and Europe’s sustainable objectives collide. Suddenly, the green hydrogen economy is no longer a distant possibility, but a vital reality. This sense of urgency requires us all – industry and government alike – to work more rapidly,…

Ayana Renewable Power, funded by the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), and Greenstat ASA’s subsidiary Greenstat Hydrogen India, have engaged into an agreement to construct green hydrogen projects. The companies will create large-scale green hydrogen solutions with the goal of providing sustainable hydrogen to industrial and commercial customers in India on a long-term basis. A pilot project will be launched in Karnataka, according to a joint statement. This collaboration helps India’s National Hydrogen Mission, which aims to establish India as a global centre for the production and export of green hydrogen, according to the release. “By 2050, India expects…

The Ministry of Transportation has approved the acquisition of 12 hydrogen trains as part of a pilot project to demonstrate the viability of green trains. Bucharest – Otopeni Airport and Bucharest – Pitesti will be among the routes offered. The project’s overall anticipated cost is 973 million euros, exclusive of VAT. The Railway Reform Authority’s pilot project seeks to acquire 12 160-seat locomotives, as well as long-term vehicle maintenance and repair services and hydrogen supply. The pilot project “on the use of locomotives in electric traction powered by hydrogen fuel cells in order to fulfill the obligation of public passenger…

Electromobility has already reached public transport. The only question is which drive has the best prospects for the future. However, a trend is emerging.

The European Commission provided an overview of a proposal to make Europe self-sufficient in Russian fossil resources long before 2030 on March 8, 2022.

JP Morgan stated that “stocks concentrating on future transportation have remained excellent” and that “electric or hydrogen transportation will expand owing to rising coal prices.”
