Rolls-Royce affirmed that fuel cell systems will be a critical component of its portfolio of sustainable solutions, with the luxury carmaker’s CEO expressing a desire to play a “pioneering role in fuel cell applications.” To demonstrate its commitment, the British engineering behemoth said that it is presently constructing a 250kW demonstrator at its Friedrichshafen, Germany, plant to evaluate sustainable and climate-friendly power generation via fuel cells. “We firmly believe that fuel cell technology is set to make a huge contribution to a successful energy turnaround. That’s why Rolls-Royce sees it as its mission to assume a pioneering role in fuel…

ASA (Advertising Standards Authorit) has issued Hyundai Motor UK a warning for a false advertisement which stated that its hydrogen-powered Nexo vehicle filters the air as it goes. The complainant challenged whether the claim “A car so clean, it purifies the air as it goes” was misleading and could be shown. Hyundai said that the NEXO was a hydrogen-powered car that generated electricity using a fuel cell. The oxygen was required for the fuel cell to work because contaminants in the air would harm the fuel cell. The air supply system is reported to be contained in the NEXO. Here,…

A2A and Ardian have agreed to a non-binding agreement outlining the key elements of an energy generation and supply collaboration in Italy.

The contract is with Porterbrook, a British rolling stock company, and is part of an endeavor to demonstrate how hydrogen-powered trains can be run safely and efficiently for future public transportation.

Picea, HPS’ hydrogen-based electricity storage technology, will be standard equipment for all one-family homes built by Wohnwerke. A demonstration house in Asperglen-Rudersberg, near Stuttgart, will be built soon to showcase the mix of modern architecture and advanced energy systems.

According to a road map issued in 2016 by an advisory committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, China plans to have a million hydrogen-powered automobiles on its roads by 2030, with 1,000 refueling facilities to support them.

GroenLeven has agreed to purchase green hydrogen from the Sinnewetterstof project in Oosterwolde from Orangegas. GroenLeven will generate hydrogen on-site using power generated by the solar park. Orangegas will distribute this hydrogen through a network of filling stations spread over the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Alliander has begun preparing for the project’s construction. At periods when solar energy is abundant, an electrolyser turns it to hydrogen in the Sinnewetterstof project. Thus, the project contributes to grid congestion resolution in the Netherlands. This created energy is not lost, but can be stored locally in a sustainable manner using this hydrogen solution. The trial…

Siemens Gamesa released an industry whitepaper titled Unlocking the Green Hydrogen Revolution, outlining an ambitious plan to produce cost-competitive green hydrogen from onshore wind by 2030 and offshore wind by 2035. Siemens Gamesa advocates for a collaborative approach to both market demand and production scaling, outlining four critical prerequisites for delivering low-cost green hydrogen over the next decade. Increase the capacity of renewables significantly, as the green hydrogen revolution is reliant on it. By 2050, the globe would require up to 6,000 GW of new installed renewable energy capacity, up from 2,800 GW currently, to meet anticipated hydrogen consumption (500…

Baker Hughes will provide advanced hydrogen compression and gas turbine technology to Air Products for global projects

ABB has partnered with Swiss utility Axpo to create modular green hydrogen production plants in Italy with the goal of optimizing the operational model for economical, green hydrogen production. The two businesses will leverage their complementary capabilities to further their shared vision of more affordable green hydrogen, with ABB leveraging its automation, electrification, and digital leadership in industrial operations and Axpo leveraging its extensive energy provider experience. The initial effort will consist of feasibility studies to determine ways to lower operating costs and assure a low carbon footprint, with the goal of uncovering synergies that will support standardization, modularization, efficient,…
