The Town of Colchester, Connecticut, and Bloom Energy, a leading energy firm, announced the installation of ten megawatts of highly efficient fuel cells to assist the municipality in meeting its sustainable energy needs. In comparison to current displaced grid options, the Bloom Energy Servers will lower community carbon emissions by 3,850 tons per year and smog-forming pollution and particulate matter by more than 99 percent. Bloom Energy’s fuel-flexible solid oxide fuel cell technology generates electricity from natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen via an electrochemical process that eliminates the need for combustion, achieving one of the greatest efficiencies of any power…

Stockholm-based Echandia has inked an agreement to offer the world’s first emission-free high-speed catamaran with a battery and hydrogen-based fuel cell technology combined. Green City Ferries AB is the client, and the boat is intended for business traffic in Stockholm. Echandia will get around SEK 14 million from the arrangement. The installation will take place in the autumn of 2022. Echandia is a market leader in sophisticated battery and fuel cell systems for marine electrification. The arrangement covers the Beluga24 type, which was developed by New Zealand’s Teknicraft and Italy’s Studio Sculli and is produced in carbon fiber by Green…
Global Energy Ventures Ltd announced the building of a 2.8 GW / 100,000 tpa green hydrogen export facility on Australia’s Tiwi Islands (the Tiwi Hydrogen Project). GEV proposes a tiered approach to building, beginning with 0.5 GW of installed solar generation and increasing to 2.8 GW as the regional hydrogen market expands, while also benefiting from continued cost and efficiency advancements in photovoltaics, electrolysers, and shipping. GEV’s Managing Director and CEO, Martin Carolan commented: “The strategic rationale for GEV to develop a landmark upstream renewable energy and green hydrogen production project is to demonstrate the simplicity and efficiency of using…
Hydro launched a separate green hydrogen firm earlier this year as part of its strategic goal of expanding its position in low carbon aluminum and investigating new growth potential in other energy sources. Hydro Havrand will enable the company to transition from gas to renewable energy-based hydrogen at a number of its own locations, as well as developing and serving the external market. “The core of our business is using green hydrogen based on renewable energy to replace fossil fuels across a range of sectors. This includes many heavy industries where a part of the production process often requires temperatures…
From November 2021, the dual fuel hydrogen vehicle will be used for deliveries to Delhaize supermarkets as a test. The vehicle is capable of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 80%. After a 12-month trial period, it will be determined whether the technology developed by CMB.TECH can be expanded to Van Moer Logistics’ 500-strong truck fleet. CMB.TECH unveiled their multimodal hydrogen filling station and prototype hydrogen truck in Antwerp on 3 June 2021. The vehicle has various benefits over other hydrogen trucks due to its dual fuel technology. The vehicle has a greater range, is less expensive to purchase, and…
The global green hydrogen market is expected to expand due to the growing usage of green hydrogen in the chemical industry for the manufacturing of fertilizers and ammonia. Additionally, the worldwide green hydrogen market is growing due to the advancement of electrolysis technology and the high demand from fuel cell electric vehicles and the power sector… According to a new analysis conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting, the worldwide green hydrogen market is expected to reach USD 445.1 million in 2021 and USD 6,836.0 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 57.7 percent over…
The industrialization of green hydrogen and the development of a regulation that validates the introduction of this energy source in the railway system are two essential and necessary steps to undertake and implement this type of trains said the director of Innovation of Talgo, Emilio Garcia. Garcia also reported that they have already successfully tested the traction chain of the prototype green hydrogen train in tests conducted at the National Hydrogen Center in Puertollano. Without industrialization and regulation “we will not advance”, GarcÃa added during his participation in Trujillo (Cáceres) in the X SOIH2-ALEX Conference, whose program of lectures and…
The list also featured the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the Sultanate.
Essity, a hygiene and health company, is initiating a trial project to run a paper machine CO2-free using green hydrogen at the company’s Mainz-Kostheim manufacturing facility. During continuous production, natural gas is gradually replaced with green hydrogen in the site’s largest paper machine. This is the industry’s first project of this magnitude. Essity has committed EUR 4 million to the trial project (approximately SEK 40m). Essity has begun utilizing green hydrogen in its manufacturing operations. The Essity plant in Mainz-Kostheim is evaluating the extent to which green hydrogen can be used in place of Essity Kostheim natural gas in the…
Sparc Technologies Limited confirms that it has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with its strategic partner and cornerstone shareholder, the University of Adelaide, to jointly advance a project that will develop a novel process for commercially viable ultra-green hydrogen (UGH) production (the Project). The University of Adelaide and Flinders University created the Ultra-Green Hydrogen technology. The Project’s objective is to further the development of a process called thermo-photocatalysis, which utilizes the sun’s energy and thermal qualities to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen. By utilizing this procedure to manufacture ultra-green hydrogen, renewable energy sources such as wind farms…
