The BMW Group is relentless in its pursuit of hydrogen fuel cell technology as a viable alternative for sustainable individual mobility. BMW will launch the BMW iX5 Hydrogen at the IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich, two years after debuting the BMW I Hydrogen NEXT concept car. The Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) with hydrogen fuel cell drive train is now in serial development and will be one of several vehicles visitors can experience as they go down the Blue Lane connecting the major exhibition grounds to other exhibition locations in the city center. From the end of next year, a small…

Loop Energy, a researcher and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell-based solutions, announces the signing of a commercial deal with NGVI, a South Korean manufacturer of turnkey compressed natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell systems for transit and coach bus applications. This development is significant for Loop Energy since it signals the acceleration of the eFlow fuel cell platform’s adoption within the transit bus market vertical, as well as the company’s official entry into South Korea’s highly dynamic zero-emission commercial vehicle industry. NGVI will receive the latest iteration of Loop Energy’s hydrogen fuel cell system offering, which includes a fully integrated…

St1 Nordic Oy and Horisont Energi AS, a Norwegian clean energy firm, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the construction of a green ammonia project in Finnmark, Northern Norway. The partnership’s objective is to create green ammonia using a diverse array of renewable energy products for transportation and industry. St1 and Horisont Energi will perform feasibility studies for green ammonia production in Finnmark using electrolysis powered by wind energy and hydrogen derived from a variety of green feedstocks, as well as the usage of numerous new and alternative technologies for green ammonia production. Additionally, the…

Hydrogen transport projects in the Tees Valley would position the UK as a world leader in the technology and accelerate our progress toward net zero, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said Tuesday (17 August 2021), as he announced the winners of a £2.5 million research and development competition. If the trials are successful, supermarkets, emergency services, and delivery companies will begin employing hydrogen-powered vehicles to transport goods and provide local services. Additionally, the trials will help us understand the role hydrogen plays in achieving our 2050 net-zero energy goals, which will shape our future investment decisions and prime export potential. Ricardo…

Raven SR Inc., a renewable fuels firm, has closed a $20 million strategic investment from Chevron U.S.A Inc., ITOCHU Corporation, Hyzon Motors Inc., and Ascent Hydrogen Fund. Raven SR intends to construct modular waste-to-green hydrogen production units and renewable synthetic fuel facilities in California first, and eventually throughout the world. Raven SR’s technology distinguishes it as one of the world’s only combustion-free waste-to-hydrogen manufacturers. In contrast to other waste disposal methods such as incineration or gasification, Raven SR’s Steam/CO2 Reformation process does not use combustion. Raven SR’s technology is meant to produce more green hydrogen per ton of garbage and…

While hydrogen energy may appear to be a dream, it is the way of the future. A new type of energy that is both ecologically friendly and abundant, it is now being developed and applied globally. In Japan, achieving a so-called “hydrogen society”—a society powered by an infinite supply of clean hydrogen energy—has become a national ambition. Hydrogen energy will provide the foundation for a range of infrastructure in the future, from fuel cell cogeneration to forms of transportation such as hydrogen automobiles and buses. Japan’s “Basic Hydrogen Strategy” lays out an action plan for 2030 and a vision for 2050.…

Nel Hydrogen Fueling, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, has been awarded a purchase order by Everfuel A/S for the supply of an H2Station hydrogen fueling station for a taxi fleet in Aarhus, Denmark. “We are very happy to continue our collaboration with Everfuel and to take part in building out further infrastructure for hydrogen in Denmark. There is a huge potential in using hydrogen as fuel for fleets of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles and we are excited to work with Everfuel to extract learning from the installation of the station in Aarhus” says Jens Egholt Rasmussen, Senior Director Global Sales,…

Nel ASA and SFC Energy AG have formed a joint venture to create the world’s first integrated electrolyser and hydrogen fuel cell system for decentralized energy generation and storage. The development will be hastened by utilizing each party’s mature products and established technology as the foundation for the combined offering. “We are very excited to be joining forces with SFC Energy to jointly extend our industrial offering for environmentally friendly, decentralized energy generation and storage. With their proven track record and years of experience, we see a significant potential in developing solutions together to serve the distributed power generation market,…

Teesside Airport has been named one of the UK’s first pilot areas for hydrogen vehicle testing, as part of the Tees Valley’s designation as the country’s Hydrogen Transport Hub. The £2.5 million project will equip the airport, as well as other significant Tees Valley organizations, with commercial and support vehicles powered entirely by hydrogen. ULEMCo will adapt a ground support tug that tows airplanes to run on hydrogen, while Toyota will offer two Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with a range of approximately 400 miles, as well as a forklift truck for use. The trials will demonstrate how hydrogen-fueled vehicles…

China intends to build a complete hydrogen industry chain worth more than $15 billion (CNY100 billion) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region by 2025, in order to meet the northern metropolitan region’s goal of reducing carbon emissions by 2 million tonnes. This would imply a two-fold increase in the value of the industry chain in two years, from the anticipated CNY50 billion ($457 million) by 2023 under the Beijing Hydrogen Industry Development Implementation Plan (2021-2025). Prior to 2025, the goal is to have a fairly mature hydrogen sector with 10-15 globally competitive industry leaders. The proposal is contingent upon Beijing, China’s capital,…
