Tsuneishi and CMB unveiled the world’s first hydrogen-powered ferry, the HydroBingo. HydroBingo was developed as a result of a joint venture between the two firms, JPNH2YDRO. The HydroBingo is the world’s first commercially available 80-passenger ferry powered by two hydrogen diesel combustion engines. This hydrogen-powered ferry is an eco-friendly vessel that emits much less CO2 and other hazardous emissions. CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 50% in comparison to a normal diesel engine. “Thanks to this strong collaboration, we have been able to build this unique vessel. It is the result of the joining of forces of two families…

The Port of Corpus Christi Authority and Howard Midstream Energy Partners, LLC (Howard/HEP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expressing their aim to convert Howard’s Javelina refinery services facility into the region’s first carbon-neutral hydrogen production facility. Howard’s Javelina facility is conveniently located in the Port of Corpus Christi and is connected to all six local refineries via pipeline. Javelina controls around sixty million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of hydrogen production via a combination of hydrogen entrained in the refineries’ waste gas and hydrogen created via a steam methane reformer process. Currently, this hydrogen is sold back to…

Everfuel A/S has secured the building permit and selected CJ A/S as the contractor for the HySynergy Phase I electrolyzer in Fredericia, Denmark. HySynergy’s development will enable large-scale synthesis and storage of green hydrogen, hence lowering Europe’s CO2-emissions. The facility will have a daily production capacity of around 8 tons of green hydrogen produced from renewable energy and a storage capacity of 10 tons. Everfuel is in charge of the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) work, which includes the hydrogen storage and distribution facilities. HySynergy’s Phase I is scheduled to begin operations in mid-2022 and will be the largest electrolyzer…

The Wilo Group will actively support “Wasserstoff-Hanse (Hanseatic Hydrogen),” a joint initiative of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and EUREF Energy Innovation (EEI), which was launched in Rostock on 5 August in the presence of notable entrepreneurs and politicians. liver Hermes, President & CEO of the Wilo Group, took this opportunity to present Wilo’s hydrogen strategy. “As a leading technology company that produces pumps, systems and solutions, water is a core part of everything we do. Converting H2O to H2 is an important step that we are fully behind. We want to make our contribution to global climate protection by helping green deals…

Enterprize Energy has entered into a deal with the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte to identify and build offshore wind, green hydrogen, and green ammonia projects off the northern coast of the country. The connection will see the company identify and develop viable multi-gigawatt offshore wind projects, as well as conduct environmental and socioeconomic impact and benefit studies. This will occur concurrently with the commercial viability of co-developed desalination and green hydrogen production centers for both domestic and international distribution.Enterprize Energy will interact with and involve local businesses, academic institutions, and local and federal governments to identify supply…

The United States Department of Energy has given Nikola Corporation a nearly $2 million grant to advance its research into autonomous refueling technology for future hydrogen fueling stations. Autonomous fueling is a component of the industry’s endeavor to ensure that a big onboard storage system can be fueled in less than 20 minutes for heavy-duty vehicles. This project is planned to accomplish this aim by developing an autonomous fueling system capable of rapidly refueling heavy-duty fuel-cell electric trucks while minimizing labor and issues associated with ergonomics and equipment maintenance, in comparison to a manual fueling procedure. “This funding is essential…

Fire services across the United Kingdom may experience a technological transformation in the coming years as a result of the initiation of a new research project. The initiative will see the introduction of hydrogen-powered fire engines into operation. ULEMCo, a hydrogen fuel engineering company, will collaborate with Oxfordshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service on the project. The project has received funding from Innovate UK through the Transition to Zero Emissions project. Councillor Pete Sudbury, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change Delivery & Environment, said: “Hydrogen could play an important role in our efforts to decarbonise, especially where battery…

Wood received over 30 unique hydrogen awards in the first half of 2021 and predicts ongoing growth in this field in the longer term, with around $600 million in prospective hydrogen projects coming to market. The contract awards cover green, blue, and bio-hydrogen projects, reiterating Wood’s position as a critical delivery partner for the hydrogen economy’s expansion and assisting clients in their transition to a low-carbon future. Wood is collaborating with ADNOC on a world-scale blue ammonia manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi to accelerate the Middle East’s hydrogen development. Similarly, Wood’s hydrogen technology is being employed in South America’s first…

Air Products has opened its first hydrogen fueling station in Shandong Province, China. The station will be used to refuel buses and vehicles in support of China’s “Hydrogen into Ten Thousand Homes” demonstration project for green transportation. Throughout support of this national initiative, the business has advanced many hydrogen production and application projects in the province. The “Hydrogen into Ten Thousand Homes” demonstration project was launched by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with the Shandong provincial government to promote the widespread use of hydrogen energy and demonstrate hydrogen applications in industrial parks, community buildings, and transportation in…

MAN Energy Solutions has inked an agreement with TAQA Power, a subsidiary of TAQA Arabia based in Cairo, Egypt, to develop a pilot project for the local production of green hydrogen to fuel domestic tourist buses. The MoU establishes the framework for MAN Energy Solutions to give technical information to TAQA Power about the use of electrolysis in a hydrogen-plant solution that will operate until autumn 2022. The signing of the MoU follows Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-call Sisi’s for the formation of an integrated plan for the production of green hydrogen in the north African country, citing increased international interest…
