Sinopec, China’s largest oil refiner, is on track to open a hydrogen production facility for hydrogen fuel cells in Qingdao, Shandong province, in late December. Sinopec began construction of the facility, which will have a capacity of 2,250 tonnes per year, in July and completed it this month. Additionally, it intends to construct a second phase of this project, increasing total capacity to 4,500 t/yr by the end of 2023. It will be Shandong province’s largest hydrogen production facility. Sinopec intends to establish itself as China’s “number one” hydrogen company by constructing 1,000 hydrogen refueling stations during the country’s 14th…

Daimler’s efforts to decarbonize road freight in Europe result in another collaboration between its Truck AG subsidiary and TotalEnergies, a French energy company. Both parties intend to contribute their expertise toward the common goal of easing the transition to clean hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks. While Daimler Truck has committed to supplying hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks to its customers in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg by 2025, its partner has committed to operating up to 150 hydrogen refueling stations across Europe by 2030, including in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Germany. According to Karin Rdström, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, the initiative…

8 Rivers is the creator of 8RH2, the best-in-class clean hydrogen and ammonia technology, as well as a suite of industrial decarbonization technologies such as the TarT sour-gas treatment system and net-zero steel production, direct air capture, and point-source carbon capture.

By focusing on low-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen from renewable natural gas, biogas, and other sustainable sources, the hydrogen production facilities will be used to satisfy hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle demand.

The acquisition of VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”) by Vision Hydrogen Corporation has been completed. VoltH2 is one of Western Europe’s leading developers of hydrogen production facilities and infrastructure. VoltH2 was founded in June 2020 and is based in Europe. The company develops clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial offtake volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have shifted away from carbon-emitting energy sources and fuels. VoltH2 has a track record of advancing development sites to permit stage, having won approvals to build a 25MW…

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the beefed up Future Fuels Fund provides “an Australian way” to lower transport emissions, reiterating a slogan he introduced recently to describe the country’s middle ground on climate change policy.

Decentralized green hydrogen may be created from biogas using the “Chemical-Looping Hydrogen-Method,” a sustainable approach for decentralized hydrogen generation.

Players from politics, the energy sector, industry, and transportation assembled in Biesheim, Alsace, not far from the border in Breisach, for a so-called hydrogen summit. Their objective is to identify cross-border solutions for the area to manufacture hydrogen together.

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…
