The industrial hydrogen ecosystem in the Northern Netherlands is getting a boost with the project Waviater: Hydrogen Production Technology for the Aviation Sector and Energy Applications at the Regional Level. In the project, a Northern Dutch consortium will develop green hydrogen technology. At the beginning of this month, the North Netherlands Cooperation Agency awarded a subsidy for it from the European Regional Development Fund (Efro). Consortium partners are Douna Machinery Leeuwarden, JB Besturingstechniek, RedStack, Demcon, Groningen Airport Eelde, New Energy Coalition and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, supported by TNO and Vonk. The first concrete application is at Groningen Airport Eelde. There, an…

The H2StationTM modules will be installed in the planned HysetCo station in Le Bourget, which will be operational in 2022, thanks in part to the FCH JU (Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking) public-private cooperation.

China’s Baowu Steel Group, the world’s largest steel producer, has started construction of a hydrogen mine furnace for reduced iron production at its Zhanjiang smelter in southern Guangdong province. The cost of the project is 1.89 billion yuan (almost $300 million). The furnace should have a production capacity of 1 million tons per year. It is expected to be launched by the end of 2023. According to Baowu, the project should result in lower carbon dioxide emissions. The group aims to become carbon-neutral by 2050. The introduction of hydrogen metallurgy technology is one of its decarbonization initiatives. The production of…

Recognizing the exceptional potential of hydrogen for sustainable mobility, Tata Motors is expanding its projects in its home market. The company has built a hydrogen refueling station and a test track in Sanand, Gujarat, to test hydrogen-powered buses. It has also recently developed a fuel cell demonstration vehicle project and built a dedicated fuel cell laboratory in the city of Pune. Last year, Tata Motors won a major tender to supply 15 proton exchange membrane fuel cell buses to the Indian Oil Corporation Limited. A lot of research “We are conducting a lot of research on handling, on-board storage of…

Hamburg is nurturing ambitions to become Europe’s leading hydrogen center by the end of the decade. As part of these plans, the German Hanseatic city plans to upgrade its port, which would include new pipelines and additional storage capacity. The aim is to make Hamburg a major entry point for the import of sustainable hydrogen from abroad. The plan was presented by the local Behörde für Wirtschaft und Innovation, which wants to further strengthen the city’s current position in the hydrogen industry. National hydrogen strategy While there are plans to increase local production capacity to 550 megawatts by the end…

The Istituto Europeo di Design introduced the A4810 Project by IED, a new hydrogen-powered concept car developed in conjunction with Alpine, a Renault Group brand, and in response to a brief from the Alpine design team. As a consequence of the thesis project of twenty-eight students enrolled in IED Turin’s Master in Transportation Design for the academic year 2020/21, this concept car integrates cutting-edge technologies while retaining the classic traits of the French brand created in 1955. Alpine invited IED students to create a “super berlinette” for the year 2035 to honor its sportiness, French heritage, and connection to the…

India and Japan decided to expand their clean energy alliance to include electric vehicles, battery storage, and green hydrogen as the two Asian economic powerhouses shift toward net zero carbon emissions. After Japan’s Prime Minister Kishida Fumio met India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the 14th India-Japan Annual Summit, the two countries issued a joint statement outlining areas of collaboration. “India and Japan recognize the importance of pursuing a range of energy sources to provide a safe and stable supply of energy in order to achieve both economic growth and climate change mitigation goals. They agree that there is no…

According to Muscle Cars and Trucks, Ford recently submitted a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine. A typical hydrogen-powered car uses a propulsion system similar to that of an electric vehicle, with hydrogen energy being converted to electricity via the fuel cell. Ford’s new patent, on the other hand, is for a hydrogen-powered turbocharged combustion engine. Furthermore, the company’s engine will theoretically be capable of running over a wide variety of air/fuel lambda values. As with a conventional internal combustion engine, the combustion process would be regulated via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and…

TSMC, a semiconductor foundry, has set a 2030 energy-savings target for its suppliers, in part due to the fact that extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography consumes a significant amount of hydrogen and generates a significant amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). Suppliers intend to produce “green hydrogen” in order to offset carbon emissions. TSMC’s 2030 energy-saving and carbon-reduction goals have prompted suppliers to invest actively in green energy. Additionally, it will generate additional energy-saving and carbon-reducing solutions, such as hydrogen production. Because EUV lithography is required for high-end semiconductors and consumes a significant amount of hydrogen and produces a significant amount of…

Better range, less pollution, longer service life, and higher power should all be characteristics of the H-drive.
