The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) announced on Industry Day at COP26 the commitments of 28 corporations to accelerate the growth of hydrogen demand and supply. H2Zero, a new project led by these companies, will expedite the usage and production of hydrogen as a critical component of a future net-zero energy system. 28 firms spanning a range of sectors, from mining to energy, car and equipment makers, and financial services, have made pledges in three areas – demand, supply, and financial or technical support. According to the Hydrogen Council, hydrogen’s decarbonisation potential…

Deputy Secretary David Turk announced the launch of H2 Twin Cities as part of the United Kingdom’s COP26 activities in Glasgow to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to climate change mitigation. H2 Twin Cities is a Clean Energy Ministerial effort that pairs towns throughout the world in order to collaborate, share ideas, learn from one another, and accelerate progress, particularly at the city and municipality level. Through H2 Twin Cities, global collaborations between matched cities and towns will be formed to expand the community of hydrogen best practices, foster collaboration, and expand the reach of hydrogen deployment to help cut…

The project is scheduled to be executed in the “Thrace Economic Zone-South” carbon-neutral industrial park. TIZ’s team is the foundation of the “Consortium for carbon-neutral industrial parks,” according to Eng. Plamen Panchev.

Hydro Havrand, Hydro’s green hydrogen subsidiary, and Shell New Energies Holding Europe B.V. (“Shell”) have agreed to examine the possibility of collaborating on hydrogen production using renewable energy. The goal is to use the hydrogen to assist Hydro and Shell in decarbonizing their own operations, as well as to serve customers in heavy industries, the maritime industry, and road transport. Shell and Hydro Havrand signed a memorandum of understanding this week to jointly produce and supply hydrogen generated from renewable energy in hubs centered on Hydro and Shell’s own operations, and where they see significant potential for scaling production for…

lya Pavlov, Severstal’s Director of Hydrogen and Innovative Decarbonization, made the announcement during a speech at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow.

China’s hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are likely to be cost competitive in 2030 with conventional vehicles driven by gasoline or gasoil, Jiang Ning, chief expert with Sinopec Marketing, stated Nov. 8. Register Now “By 2025, when green hydrogen [renewables-based hydrogen] cost is expected to be lower than Yuan 30/kg [approx. $4.69/kg] and gasoil price [would be] around Yuan 6.7/Lite [74 cents/Liter before taxes], hydrogen-powered trucks’ fuel cost will be competitive against gasoil-fueled ones,” Jiang said, sharing the results from the company’s recent study. He noted that hydrogen fuel costs below Yuan 34/kg (about $5.32/kg) imply fuel cost parity…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Universal Hydrogen Co. (UH2), both based in Los Angeles, have partnered to enable the aviation industry to decarbonize via zero-emission green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is an ideal aviation fuel since it is a zero-emission, renewable resource that produces nothing except water when burned. Apart from nuclear fuels, it is also the most weight-efficient energy carrier available, delivering roughly four times the energy per unit of mass as conventional jet fuel. The announcement comes on the heels of US President Joe Biden’s recognition of FFI as one of few companies to join his renowned ‘First Movers…

EDP has set a new strategic objective for renewable hydrogen and anticipates investing in projects that will add 1.5 GW of capacity by 2030. With this ambition – announced on Tuesday, November 9, at COP26, the United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow – EDP joins the WBCSD’s (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) H2Zero pledge, which aims to accelerate the global development of renewable hydrogen. It is a significant reinforcement of EDP’s ambition, for which its current presence in strategic markets (such as the Iberian Peninsula, the United States of America, and Brazil) and in regions with favorable conditions for…

Korea’s ambition to increase fiscal spending to foster hydrogen-related research and development, combined with the legal and institutional framework in the works

MOL and MOL Drybulk will operate the ship, while J-ENG will build the engine, which will be the world’s first low-speed, two-stroke hydrogen-fueled marine engine.
