The Scottish Hydrogen Fuel Cell Freight Trial (SHyFT), led by Arcola Energy, has been awarded funding by the Department for Transport’s Zero Emission Road Freight initiative to develop a trial of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in Scotland, complemented by a green hydrogen refueling infrastructure. The project will assess the potential for zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) with key fleet operators intending to decarbonize operations in emission-sensitive sectors such as utilities, forestry, and wholesale food and beverage logistics – including cold chain. Among the project’s participants are NewCold, which will conduct a comprehensive assessment of cold chain logistics, The Scottish…

The newly formed GKN Hydrogen business unit of the worldwide engineering and aerospace group GKN has placed an order with Proton Motor Power Systems for eight additional PM Modules S8 for self-sufficient energy and heat delivery. GKN has now ordered a total of 25 PM Module S8 fuel cell systems, and the Board of Directors of Proton Motor anticipates additional orders as GKN continues to incorporate the Company’s technology into its integrated HY2 systems. GKN is implementing the HY2 systems in its own facilities and those of its residential, industrial, and transportation customers.

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has sold a cargo of blue ammonia to Japan’s INPEX for use in power generation applications, in collaboration with Fertiglobe. The sale builds on recently announced joint efforts to strengthen industrial cooperation between the UAE and Japan and to assist the establishment of new UAE-Japan blue ammonia supply chains. It also follows the recent sale of blue ammonia cargos to Japanese companies Itochu and Idemtisu. ADNOC and INPEX have a long and trusted history of collaboration. INPEX is a partner in a number of ADNOC’s upstream concessions, collaborated with ADNOC and Intercontinental Exchange…

Honeywell is creating a new technology suite for small drones that will increase their flight time by three times and require less human involvement. In comparison to traditional drones that rely on batteries and line-of-sight radio links, drones equipped with Honeywell’s Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) technologies can fly farther, carry more weight, avoid hazards up to three kilometers away, and stream video of their progress from any location on Earth. “These are technologies that businesses have been waiting for,” said Stéphane Fymat, vice president and general manager of Honeywell’s Unmanned Aerial Systems and Urban Air Mobility business unit.…

Linde has entered into a long-term arrangement with Infineon Technologies to produce and store high-purity green hydrogen on-site, in addition to providing other industrial gases. This will be the first time that green hydrogen will be employed in the semiconductor production process at Infineon. Linde will construct, own, and operate a two-megawatt electrolyzer plant at Infineon’s Austrian Villach facility. Green hydrogen will be generated at the plant using ITM Power’s Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology, which Linde will purify to fulfill the stringent criteria required by Infineon’s manufacturing process. Utilization of this ultra-pure green hydrogen is part of Infineon’s strategy…

Everfuel A/S and ASKO AS have signed a letter of intent (LoI) to collaborate on building a coordinated plan for applying to Enova for funding to support vehicle purchase and the installation of green hydrogen infrastructure in Norway in order to decarbonize heavy-duty long-haul trucking.
