For the next two months, H3 Dynamics’ Toulouse team will conduct wind tunnel testing on a long-range unmanned hydrogen test aircraft. H3 Dynamics and ISAE-Supaero launched MERMOZ in 2018, with funding from the Occitanie Region and the European Fund for Regional Development. In future phases of the Mermoz program, Toulouse-based enterprises like Delair will help with long-range aircraft operations. A full-scale distributed hydrogen propulsion and refueling system for aircraft was patent-protected in 2018. The Company’s engineering centers in Austin and Toulouse are now working on hydrogen-electric propulsion systems. “H3 Dynamics has the ambition to bring to market the most advanced…

NTPC has awarded a contract for a “Standalone Fuel Cell based Micro-grid with hydrogen production via electrolyser in NTPC Guest House at Simhadri (near Visakhapatnam)”. It is India’s first green energy storage project based on hydrogen. It would serve as a forerunner to large-scale hydrogen energy storage projects and would aid in the study and deployment of several microgrids in various off-grid and important sites throughout the country. The hydrogen would be generated utilizing a state-of-the-art 240 kW Solid Oxide Electrolyser with input power supplied by the neighboring Floating Solar project. The hydrogen generated during daylight hours would be compressed…

The Environmental Commission of the Balearic Islands (CMAIB) has approved the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project of the future hydrogen generation plant being built on the grounds of the Lloseta cement plant. The advisory body of the Govern in environmental matters considers valid the preventive and corrective measures presented by the promoter, Enagas Renovables, but adds as conditions that it provides an outlet for the reuse of the resulting water and oxygen. Both uses were not foreseen in the Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca project. The Environmental Commission recognizes that the project has unresolved issues, such as wastewater…

In recent years, there’s been a surge in the market research and growth for electric vehicles (EVs), as they are deemed more environmentally friendly. Europe leads the way in new EV sales, with around 3.2 million vehicles in total, accounting for about 31% of vehicles worldwide. However, automobile giant Hyundai Motor Group looks toward a different route when it comes to creating efficient and sustainable vehicles. The Korean company sees fuel-cell or hydrogen-based technology as the key to the world’s clean energy revolution. Hydrogen-based TechnologyFuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) essentially use a fuel cell that is powered by hydrogen, rather than drawing electricity solely…

Companies are still establishing solar parks on an area of roughly 300 hectares without government subsidies to achieve this goal. The first park, with a capacity of around 40 megawatts, is expected to open by the end of 2022, with the remaining parks following in 2023 and 2024.
