Over the following 24 months, PowerTap Hydrogen Capital expects to build a minimum of 100 hydrogen fueling stations in partnership with several Middle Eastern governments. This will assist the Middle East in adopting hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and with only two stations located throughout the UAE, PowerTap is well positioned to establish the region’s hydrogen highway. Additionally, the projected hydrogen highway will make use of a significant portion of the country’s 643 filling stations. Initially, PowerTap intends to launch its products throughout the UAE, which might result in the UAE becoming one of the first countries to have a statewide…

Horisont Energi and the Port of Rotterdam have agreed to establish a corridor for the transportation of blue ammonia from Norway to Rotterdam. According to the agreement, Horisont Energi and the Port of Rotterdam will explore a collaboration to export blue ammonia produced in Northern Norway from natural gas with carbon capture and storage to the port of Rotterdam for further distribution to fulfill anticipated demand in Northwestern Europe. The final investment decision for the Barents Blue project’s blue ammonia production is scheduled by the end of 2022. By 2025, blue ammonia could be delivered to Rotterdam. Once operational, Barents…

Universal Hydrogen, based in Los Angeles and directed by Paul Eremenko, a former chief technology officer and leading visionary for clean energy at both Airbus and United Technologies, is developing technology to convert mid-sized turboprop aircraft to hydrogen operation. A bold new project there intends to convert small regional turboprop aircraft to hydrogen fuel, test and certify them for passenger transport, and perhaps provide a long-term answer to aviation’s carbon emissions by establishing that hydrogen aviation is economically viable. AeroTEC of Seattle, MagniX of Everett, and Plug Power of New York, which operates a hydrogen fuel cell facility in Spokane,…

Damorphe, a nanotechnology firm based in the United States, is developing a hydrogen production method based on a rare earth oxide alloy that dissolves in water. The company claims the technology has the ability to deliver clean hydrogen for as little as $1 per kilogram. The company, which specializes in nanomaterials for niche applications ranging from aerospace and defense to energy and healthcare, is collaborating with partners to create a demonstration facility capable of producing 1 million tons of hydrogen per day in California. Carmine Battista, chief commercial officer and CEO of Damorphe’s hydrogen division, told S&P Global Platts in…

Hyundai Motor has acquired a stake in H2 MOBILITY, a provider of hydrogen infrastructure. Hyundai becomes the company’s first shareholder outside the original group of TotalEnergies, Shell, OMV, Linde, Air Liquide, and Daimler. Hyundai Motor Deutschland is the subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company. Hyundai has been an affiliated partner in the development of hydrogen infrastructure in Germany since H2 MOBILITY was created in 2015. This step demonstrates the company’s commitment to hydrogen fuel cell technology by assisting in the expansion of the infrastructure required to power the company’s fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Hyundai emphasized the critical importance hydrogen and…

POWER Engineers and Stellar J Corporation have been selected by Raven SR to finish the final design of two facilities that will convert green garbage and food into green hydrogen for use in commercial transportation. These facilities will be located in the San Francisco Bay area and will utilize Raven SR’s commercial systems, which are capable of converting 200 tonnes of landfill garbage into ten tonnes of renewable hydrogen. This is sufficient to power around 200 heavy-duty trucks or 1,250 passenger vehicles per day when completed in summer 2022. The distinctive feature of this waste-to-hydrogen technology is that it has…

Anglo American and Salzgitter Flachstahl have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the decarbonisation of the steelmaking industry by identifying strategies to minimize carbon emissions. Salzgitter Flachstahl makes a range of high-quality steel products that are optimized for their intended use and is the Salzgitter Group’s largest steel business. The two businesses propose to conduct research into feed materials, such as iron ore pellets and lump iron ores, that are appropriate for direct reduction (DR) steelmaking using natural gas and hydrogen, a substantially less carbon-intensive process than the standard blast furnace (BF) method. Additionally, the collaboration may…

Three of Japan’s largest marine engine manufacturers, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Yanmar Power Technology, and Japan Engine Corporation, have signed a joint venture agreement for joint investment and announced the formation of a new firm, HyEng Corporation. To contribute to Japan’s decarbonization efforts and to advance the shipbuilding and maritime industries, the three companies have signed an agreement to facilitate joint investment in the establishment of a new company, HyEng Corporation, that will focus on the joint development of world-leading marine hydrogen-fueled engines. This declaration was made during The Nippon Foundation’s “Zero Emission Ships” lecture in May 2021. With the foundation…

Hyundai Motor Company has invested in Pajarito Powder, a company based in the United States. The investment will enable Hyundai Motor to diversify its business across the hydrogen value chain and to bolster the hydrogen ecosystem’s establishment. “With one of the most successful fuel cell programs in the world, Hyundai’s investment and backing adds high-level credibility to our work and accelerates our ability to bring high-performance catalyst products to the rapidly growing green-hydrogen market,” said Pajarito Powder CEO and Chairman Thomas J. Stephenson. “We have structured the investment to maintain our independence,” Stephenson said. “This structure allows Pajarito Powder to…

The consortium Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca (P2GH2M), led by ACCIONA and Enagás and including CEMEX and IDAE, has begun construction of the first of two photovoltaic plants in Lloseta (Mallorca), marking the start of the construction of Spain’s first green hydrogen plant on land adjacent to the Cemex factory in Llosta. The photovoltaic project spans more than six hectares (ha), with 16,660 solar panels producing 8.59 MWP and 13,516 MWh per year. The other plant, located in Petra, will soon begin construction on a 10-hectare addition that will include 12,740 solar panels with a capacity of 6.5 MWP and…
