Plastic Omnium and AVL have entered into a joint venture to develop high- and medium-power hydrogen systems. Plastic Omnium’s new agreement will enable it to speed the commercial rollout of a range of hydrogen systems for usage in all car categories beginning in 2022. These integrated future systems will be powered by EKPO fuel cells, a joint venture between ElringKlinger and Plastic Omnium. The agreement enables the partners to provide an integrated response to market demands, with entire systems ranging from 10 to 200 kW. The alliance paves the way for commercial collaboration to deliver end-to-end fuel cell solutions to…

In an Australian first, APA Group, a leading energy infrastructure company, announced a proposal to test Victoria’s high pressure gas transmission system for the purpose of safely blending hydrogen as part of its submission to the Australian Energy Regulator for a Victorian Transmission System access arrangement (AER). The purpose of APA’s proposal is to assess Victoria’s transmission system’s suitability for hydrogen blending, as well as any future work required to safely accommodate hydrogen. “This landmark hydrogen study proposes to assess the Victorian gas transmission network to safely transport hydrogen blends, which could put Victoria in the box seat to achieve…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with three Indigenous Nations in Canada, clearing the way for FFI to spearhead Canada’s green hydrogen and green energy revolutions. FFI has signed memorandums of understanding with members of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation in British Columbia; the Homeguard Cree First Nations in northern Manitoba; and the Innu Nation in Newfoundland and Labrador. The MoUs establish a collaborative framework for talks and negotiations that will aid FFI in determining the viability of green hydrogen projects across Canada that utilize hydro and wind energy.

Passengers on a hypothetical airplane unveiled by the Aerospace Technology Institute might one day go anywhere in the world with minimal carbon emissions and only one stop (ATI). Up to 279 passengers may fly direct between London and San Francisco, USA, or between London and Auckland, New Zealand, with the same level of comfort and speed as current planes, revolutionizing the future of air travel. The concept was developed by a group of aerospace and aviation experts from across the United Kingdom as part of the government-backed FlyZero project. It demonstrates the enormous potential of green liquid hydrogen for air…

According to the state-run Xinhua News Agency, China’s Zhangjiakou city will deploy 655 hydrogen-fueled buses in the competition zone for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has pledged to host a “green” Olympics by utilizing advanced technologies to mitigate carbon emissions. Additionally, it is supplying cleaner energy to all event venues in Beijing and the neighboring city of Zhangjiakou via natural gas, renewables, and hydrogen. Zhangjiakou, which will host Alpine skiing and snowboarding events, currently has two hydrogen reactors with a total daily production capacity of 6 tonnes and eight hydrogen refueling…

MSC Group’s Cruise Division and Chantiers de l’Atlantique celebrated two significant new build milestones for the line’s next generation of environmentally advanced ships. MSC World Europa and MSC Euribia will join the MSC Cruises fleet as the first LNG-powered vessels next year, signifying a €3 billion investment in LNG ships, with building on World Europa II set to begin in early 2023. These ships contribute significantly to the Company’s goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. LNG is by far the cleanest maritime fuel currently accessible at scale, essentially eliminating local air pollutant emissions such as sulphur…

LAVO has completed a successful site validation and demonstration testing process at Coregas’ South Australian facility. LAVO was able to properly test, show, and validate the concept of the Company’s revolutionary Hydrogen Energy Storage System through this installation (HESS). The procedure generated useful data and insights about how to improve the system’s performance and functionality in the future. The operational data obtained will aid several regulatory bodies, including gas safe, the power grid, and the water supply authority, in assessing the system’s safety and dependability and streamlining the product certification procedure. Additionally, the methodology validated the installation protocol, site commissioning,…
