The Ministry of Energy signed eight memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with various entities on Thursday for the purpose of implementing pilot projects for hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars, buses, and trains, transportation applications, and sustainable jet fuel production in selected areas and on public roads throughout the Kingdom. Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman emphasized in a statement on this occasion King Salman’s interest in the energy sector and his desire to develop and utilize the Kingdom’s diverse energy resources. “This step is taken simultaneously with drafting the hydrogen strategy, which arises from the integrated energy strategy that lays out…

The Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) announced the acquisition of 23 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEVs), the company’s first purchase of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Next month, the firm expects to double its fleet of HFCEVs to 50, making SoCalGas one of the nation’s first utilities to begin the shift to hydrogen. These HFCEVs are a critical step toward decarbonizing SoCalGas’ fleet and contribute to the company’s Net Zero 2045 climate objective of replacing 50% of its over-the-road fleet with clean fuel vehicles by 2025 and operating a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2035. “California companies must work together in…

Endua’s proposal to develop modular hydrogen-powered energy generation and storage systems has received a financial boost from the Australian federal government, which has awarded it nearly AUD 1 million ($719,800) to assist it in commercializing its innovations. Endua’s proposal to develop modular hydrogen-powered energy generation and storage systems has received a financial boost from the Australian federal government, which has awarded it nearly AUD 1 million ($719,800) to assist it in commercializing its innovations. Endura, based in Brisbane, plans to build modular hydrogen power banks using new electrolysis technology developed by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). Endura…

H2FC is a high-efficiency and customizable generator that blends Aliant’s lithium battery technology with Loop Energy’s S300 Series hydrogen fuel cell system.

The STRING partner areas in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway recently unveiled their ambitions to connect a network of hydrogen refueling stations between Hamburg and Oslo. Today, alternatives to fossil fuels are already available. Several technologies, including hydrogen cell technology, may facilitate the shift to zero-emission road transport. STRING members are now preparing to invest in this revolutionary process. GREATER4H was established under Schleswig-STRING Holstein’s leadership, and the state will continue to lead the initiative. Europe Minister Claus Christian Claussen stated, “In the transportation sector, zero emissions are only attainable with an emission-free charging infrastructure. If GREATER4H is a success,…

Panama’s National Energy Secretariat released the Green Hydrogen Roadmap, which identifies hydrogen as the future fuel and aims to position Panama as the region’s Global Green Hydrogen Route par excellence, in light of the region’s commitment to decarbonization and energy transition. “Hydrogen represents a commercial opportunity for the country and region in a market that is anticipating the development of new technologies; additionally, it will enable decarbonization of other sectors of the economy, such as industry, agriculture, and land and air transportation, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Panamanian State’s greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives,” said National Secretary of…

At the same time, Annalena Berbock, Germany’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and co-chair of the German Green Party, left no doubt in Kiev about the direction “our energy partnership” should take, as she put it bluntly: “Both Germany and Ukraine require large-scale development of renewable energy sources and rapid growth of the green hydrogen market.”

Hyzon Motors Inc., a major producer of hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles, announced the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Transform Materials, a provider of renewable hydrogen via their patented microwave reactor technology. Hyzon and Transform Materials will jointly evaluate proposals for the development of facilities capable of producing hydrogen with a carbon intensity of zero to one from various sources of methane, with a preference for biogas and renewable natural gas. These facilities (called hubs) can be created efficiently using Transform Material’s unique technology, even at small scales of 1-5 tons/day, with modular construction that permits…

UNIST Professor Han-Kwon Lim’s research team reduced
