Fraunhofer researchers have discovered a new method for converting hydrogen to methanol that involves minimal energy waste. This has the potential to considerably simplify storage and transportation. Almost every day brings news of new advances in the field of hydrogen, and for good reason: its potential for the energy transition is huge. And indeed, concentrated efforts are resulting in an increasing number of innovations that will likely soon make the environmentally friendly energy carrier practical for everyday use in a wide variety of applications – the Fraunhofer Institute for Microtechnology and Microsystems IMM has recently unveiled a new methanol reformer…

A new metropolis is creating a green hydrogen ecosystem. The European Metropolis of Lille, in partnership with Engie (66%), has created Hyléos to produce and distribute renewable hydrogen. Like Dijon Métropole, MEL wants to use the electricity produced from the waste from the Halluin Energy Recovery Center to produce renewable hydrogen. The aim of this project is to power 42 buses and 5 refuse collection vehicles. The buses will be put into circulation progressively, up to 2 years after the commissioning of the station. This renewable hydrogen production and distribution station will be located in the municipalities of Sequedin and…

CO2 emissions from road freight transit must be reduced. Electric drives are suitable for short distances, whereas hydrogen is a viable option for longer journeys. However, numerous aspects concerning the H2 drive remain unknown. Hydrogen may one day provide climate-friendly energy for long-distance trucks. However, it is unclear how or in what form this potential ingredient will be implemented in Europe’s vehicles at the moment. However, time is of the essence. The debate continues over whether the green vehicle of the future should run entirely on hydrogen or whether it would be wiser to use batteries. Even the industry is…

In 2045, depending on how hydrogen consumption increases in specific industries, eastern Germany might face an annual hydrogen shortfall of up to 54 TWh.

Barwon Water will supply recycled water to the Viva Energy Australia Geelong refinery for the generation of renewable hydrogen that will be utilized at a Geelong New Energies Service Station.

New Memorandum of Understanding between ENGIE and Korean steel-maker POSCO to target green hydrogen production in the Middle East, Australia and Latin America

Developed by Germany-based hydrogen specialist Enapter, the EL 4.0 electrolyzer is based on a patented anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology. Commercial production is currently being prepared at the company’s Italian plant and the first shipments should be made in the summer.

The proposed hydrogen plant would be able to create up to 1 billion cubic feet of “blue” hydrogen per day, which is a term used in the industry to describe hydrogen produced from natural gas and backed by carbon capture and storage.

Nord Stream 2 was one of the first targets of the flurry of Western sanctions generated by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It was long considered as a Kremlin influence project that would strengthen Europe’s energy dependency on Russia.

Viva Energy has announced the launch of Australia’s most ambitious hydrogen mobility project, which will see the development of a New Energies Service Station in Geelong as the catalyst for the development of a network of hydrogen refueling stations stretching from Geelong to Sydney and on to Brisbane. The service station, which is planned to open in late 2023, will be Australia’s first commercial hydrogen refueling station that is open to the public. Additionally, it will provide charging for electric vehicles and green hydrogen, bringing together the zero-emission technologies that will assist Australia’s energy transition. The project is a critical…
