NYK Line, Japan Engine Corporation, IHI Power Systems Co., Ltd., and Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. announced that Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has approved their participation in a demonstration project for the commercialization of vessels equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine as part of the Green Innovation Fund project. The demonstration project, which is scheduled to begin in December with the addition of ClassNK to the Companies, aims to use ammonia as a fuel to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during voyages and thus to introduce an ammonia-fueled vessel earlier than 2030 for the…

Researchers at Guwahati are creating cost-effective materials for solar-powered hydrogen generation from water. Solar energy is often regarded as the most promising of today’s clean and renewable energy sources. The innovative materials under development can divide water into hydrogen and oxygen using sunshine. “These materials are significantly less expensive than the ‘noble metals’ now utilized and may enable the development of cost-effective solar-powered hydrogen generators,” an IIT Guwahati spokeswoman stated. While conventional “solar cells” convert light directly to electrical energy, another form of sunlight-powered energy conversion system known as “PhotoElectroChemical” (PEC) cells has gained attention in recent years due to…

EY Canada’s new report, Canada’s hydrogen future — dangers and opportunities, in cooperation with The Canadian Energy and Climate Nexus, highlighted the significant opportunity presented by hydrogen. By 2050, the total Canadian yearly market potential might exceed $100 billion, supporting Canada’s objective of decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 511 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) by 2030 — down from 729 Mt CO2 eq in 2018. “The scale of this reduction requires a multifaceted approach to establish a clean-fuel energy mix that can continue to meet the country’s growing energy demands,” explains Lance Mortlock, EY Canada…

Desert Mountain Energy Corp. did more work on Well #2 and discovered helium and hydrogen in the previously perforated formation’s lower section. The gaseous composition enables the Company to co-produce gas from Well #2 and Well #4 in the McCauley Field. Tests results from an independent laboratory: Nitrogen 91.970%Helium 4.171%Hydrogen 3.832%CO2 0.019%Hexanes 0.000%Pentanes 0.000%Methane 0.000%Sulphur 0.000%

ZeroAvia is establishing itself as the market leader in zero-emission passenger aircraft with the announcement of a collaboration with Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines, to develop a hydrogen-electric powertrain capable of flying 76-seat regional aircraft over 500 nautical miles. Alaska also joins the company’s roster of top investors, along with another Seattle-based fund, the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Diana Birkett Rakow, vice president of public affairs and sustainability for Alaska Airlines, said: “Alaska is committed to creating a sustainable future for aviation, working on all aspects of a five-part path toward our…

The Thames Estuary Growth Board has released a map of the Thames Estuary’s hydrogen routes. This substantial advancement in hydrogen energy in the UK will put the country on schedule to achieve net zero emissions by 2035, support 9,000 employment, and provide £3.8 billion in GVA to the UK economy. The Hydrogen Route Map identifies areas of demand, supply, distribution, and storage; it defines investment market requirements and pinpoints investment clusters; it develops a broad network of relationships with key stakeholders; and it emphasizes the competitive advantage of locating a hydrogen ecosystem in the Estuary. On a national level, this…

Ukrainian authorities are drafting a strategy for hydrogen energy growth in the country until 2030, which will include the option of manufacturing pink and green hydrogen. This was confirmed by the press service of Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy. Pink hydrogen will be produced using nuclear energy, whereas green hydrogen will be produced utilizing renewable energy sources. Earlier this year, Ukraine’s Deputy Energy Minister Y. Podkomornaya met with R. Curtis, the Australian embassy’s deputy head of mission and consul in Ukraine, during which the parties agreed to collaborate on hydrogen energy research between their nations’ specialists. At the Ministry of Energy,…

The energy company Eon wants to convert the network in the Ruhr area for hydrogen. The project is called H2 Ruhr. The green electricity is said to come from Italy, for example. Eon calls for government aid to convert the economy to hydrogen.

South Korea also unveiled a hydrogen business plan, which includes obtaining green hydrogen manufacturing technologies.

This is how Von der Leyen described the Power to Green project – the cornerstone of the European Green Hysland initiative – for the construction of a green hydrogen plant in Lloseta, during the start of the European Union’s Sustainable Energy Week.
