Hyundai Engineering will complete a technological demonstration test to manufacture high-purity clean hydrogen utilizing waste plastics as a raw material by the end of this year and will begin construction on a hydrogen production facility the following year. The facility will be built in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, at a total cost of 400 billion won.

The transition to a low-carbon economy is both a necessary task and a tremendous opportunity for our society to achieve a better future.
Metals commonly used for pipes and industrial plants show no signs of increased hydrogen embrittlement even under stress. Mixing hydrogen with natural gas or using gas lines for hydrogen transport is therefore feasible, according to the researchers.
The Spanish technology company is developing SoHyCal, a pioneering project to generate up to 1,000 kg of hydrogen per day, for which the California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded a grant of $ 3.96 million.
The government has decided to consider adding hydrogen to the current national strategic technology limited to semiconductors, batteries, and vaccines. If it is selected as a national strategic technology, the tax deduction rate for R&D and facility investment will increase significantly. The tax credit rate for facility investment rises to 6-16% depending on the size of the company, and the tax credit rate for R&D expenses rises to 30-50%. The plan to include hydrogen technology as a national strategic technology was not included in this year’s tax law revision. However, the government decided to review the designation of national strategic…
RWE plans to build 300 MW of electrolysis capacity at Lingen by 2026 as part of the larger GET H2 European hydrogen infrastructure project. Lingen’s total electrolyzer capacity might be increased to 2 GW by 2030, according to the German utility.
First Hydrogen Corp. signed an agreement with FEV Consulting GmbH (“FEV”). The two companies will jointly design and build the prototype for a customized hydrogen fueling station for the hydrogen mobility market. First Hydrogen is working with FEV, an Aachen, Germany-based company, to design and build a prototype liquid hydrogen fueling station that will better serve customers over the lifetime of their First Hydrogen vehicles, serving the hydrogen mobility market as a whole. First Hydrogen sees the development of the hydrogen fueling station as an asset to its automotive strategy and an additional opportunity to sell hydrogen-related technology to its…
Avacon and DVGW, together with Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Sven Schulze, have put a hydrogen admixing system into operation in Schopsdorf.
The successful work from the “ORBIT” project on storing electricity from renewable sources in the form of methane continues. Under the leadership of the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg (OTH Regensburg), ten partners are working within the framework of “ORBIT II” on the further development and industrial use of a power-to-gas plant and thus on the future of the hydrogen economy in Germany. In the joint project “Expansion of a highly efficient trickle bed bioreactor and optimization of the methanation plant for commercial industrial use”, ten partners are working on the expansion of a power-to-gas plant so that the technology becomes…
Trains powered by hydrogen were actually supposed to start running in the Schwarza Valley in the Saalfeld-Rudolstad district in 2023. The Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure has now put a corresponding pilot project on hold. The reason: at 90 million euros, operation is expected to cost almost twice as much as estimated. But the project is not completely dead yet. The Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure has halted an award procedure for the operation of hydrogen trains in the Schwarza Valley in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district. According to a spokesman, the costs estimated for operating the hydrogen trains are too high. The sole…
