The objective is for trams to be devoid of overhead lines and CO2 emissions, replacing them with a fuel cell-powered train. When hydrogen is consumed, all that is left is water vapor and heat. “A feasibility analysis determined that a hydrogen tram is feasible when combined with additional equipment and the development of new infrastructure,” Marcel Dinter, vehicle technology specialist at Alstom’s Saxon facility in Bautzen, explains. Alstom’s engineers are the first in the world to have created a hydrogen-powered passenger train, which will enter service in 2018. Germany will begin using hydrogen-powered trains in 2022. Leipzig’s tram network is…
Doosan Mobility Innovation DJ25, the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell VTOL, has successfully completed its flight! DJ25 can fly for 330 minutes, and it will be launched within the first half of this year. It was co-developed with JOUAV UAS Solutions and DMI’s hydrogen fuel cell power pack.
The single-deck Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses are 12-meters long (40 feet) and can travel 350 kilometers (210 miles) on a single hydrogen refueling.
Hanwha Solutions, the chemical division of Hanwha Group, announced that it will begin delivering hydrogen fuel to Hyundai Mobis, a move toward a more active involvement in the rapidly growing hydrogen market. The company intends to create 48 tons of hydrogen over a two-year period beginning in July, steadily increasing supply in conjunction with the installation of associated infrastructure. The move marks the chemical company’s entry into the South Korean car hydrogen fuel cell market, which industry sources estimate would reach 3.2 trillion won ($2.86 billion) annually by 2030. The hydrogen fuel will be created at Hanwha Solutions’ caustic soda…
Hydra Energy has received CAD$15 million (USD $12 million) from Just Business to expand beyond pilots and deliver hydrogen-powered trucking
POSCO Group, one of Korea’s largest conglomerates, and rsted, the world’s most sustainable energy company, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand their relationship.
Air Liquide delivered the renewable hydrogen required to illuminate the Eiffel Tower for a laser show as part of Energy Observer’s “Paris de l’hydrogène” event. Additionally, the display town is powered by hydrogen. Energy Observer, originally the world’s first autonomous, zero-emission hydrogen vessel, now combines explorations with climate-related technical advancements. The exhibition highlights hydrogen as a critical component of the energy transition and a method of achieving a low-carbon future. “Paris de l’Hydrogène” is an exhibition dedicated to renewable energy that will run at the Champ de Mars until 30 May 2021. Energy Observer is organizing it with the cooperation…
ESB and dCarbonX have agreed to collaborate on the assessment and development of Irish offshore green hydrogen subsurface storage. This collaboration marks another milestone in the development of Ireland’s hydrogen economy as part of the country’s transition to a low-carbon future. ESB and dCarbonX will collaborate on licensing, environmental studies, site selection, project sanctioning, offshore infrastructure development, commissioning, and operations adjacent to ESB’s existing and planned future infrastructure. This agreement will cover all offshore subsea energy storage in Ireland and will also support the establishment of a projected new ‘Green Hydrogen Valley’ centered on Dublin’s Poolbeg peninsula. This valley will…
Xebec Adsorption, a global provider of clean energy solutions, announced the signing of an agreement for the delivery of hydrogen to a fueling station in the Netherlands by its fully owned subsidiary HyGear. The arrangement calls for the on-site creation and delivery of 130,000 kilograms of hydrogen over a 1.5-year term from HyGear’s adjacent decentralized hydrogen production center in Arnhem, Netherlands. Over the course of the contract, the provided hydrogen is estimated to fuel roughly 33,000 fuel cell electric vehicle (“FCEV”) fills. “This is the second hydrogen supply agreement we have signed in the Netherlands for refueling stations. We are…
