Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) has built a model that bundles a fuel cell (FC) system into a compact module and plans to start marketing it in the spring of 2021 or later. The new module can be conveniently used by industries designing and producing FC goods for a wide range of applications, including mobility such as trucks, buses, trains and ships, as well as stationary generators. In addition to its attempts to popularize FCEVs, Toyota will continue to enhance its programs as a provider of the FC system to encourage the use of hydrogen through the popularization of FC products…

AFC Energy has opened its dedicated Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Fuel Cell test facility in Surrey, United Kingdom. AFC Energy continued to take positive measures along its path to unleash the pre-commercial version of its new high-powered HydroX-Cell(S)TM fuel cell system. After the June 2020 update, the Company has built and is opening its latest HydroX-Cell(S)TM Fuel Cell Research Facility to facilitate the accelerated work planned to fulfill their growth plans. The original design work on the ‘S’ AEM fuel cell series stack design was concluded on the basis of their scaled-up MEA. The final installation of this unit will be…

Plug Power is widening its green hydrogen footprint in New York with the construction of a new green hydrogen processing plant and an electric substation in New York Science, Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP). As the largest green hydrogen production facility in North America, the plant will manufacture 45 metric tons of green liquid hydrogen per day in the Northeast area. The plant will use 120 MW of Plug’s PEM electrolyzers to generate hydrogen using renewable NY hydropower. The New York plant joins our current Tennessee plant in a network that intends to deliver 500 tons of green hydrogen per…

According to the American Clean Power Association, more than 60,000 wind turbines were in operation across the United States at the end of 2020, providing 7.4% of the nation’s electricity, more than any other renewable energy source. Some of the most vital and heavily used components—which account for as much as 11% of overall wind turbine cost—are gearboxes. Gearboxes convert low-speed blade rotations to the high speeds required by most generators for electricity generation. Keeping these gearboxes in operating condition is essential to efficient and cost-effective wind power plant operation. New tools from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National…

Meridian Energy will shortly launch development of a new $395 million wind farm in Hawke’s Bay, enhancing New Zealand’s willingness to take action on climate change and promoting the transition of the economy into renewable energy sources. The Harapaki Wind Farm will be New Zealand’s second-largest wind farm with 41 turbines generating 176 MW of renewable energy, enough to fuel more than 70,000 average households. Construction will take about three years and is projected to generate 260 new jobs. “Renewable generation is an engine of economic growth for New Zealand. There’s a massive clean energy transformation underway in the New…

Maersk and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) have unveiled plans for the establishment of Europe’s largest production facility of green ammonia. A.P. Moller – Maersk is on a quest to find the marine fuels of the future with green ammonia being one of three preferred fuel types. The Power-to-X facility located in Esbjerg on the Danish west coast will convert power from wind turbines to green ammonia. The green ammonia produced at the facility can be utilized by the agricultural sector as green fertilizer and by the shipping industry as a truly sustainable green fuel. A.P. Moller – Maersk along with…

Atos and HDF Energy will develop a complete end-to-end long-term solution to supply datacenters with green hydrogen generated by renewable energy. Atos and HDF will be the first available on the market for datacenters with heavy power consuming workloads, with the aim to demonstrate a first full production center operated using green hydrogen in 2023. Atos will provide a complete end-to-end green datacenter solution by designing and providing the hardware, software and integration services that make it possible to exploit the electricity produced by green hydrogen so that it can be used in datacenters. This includes using the most advanced…

Nortegas has launched the H2SAREA project to address energy challenges regarding the efficient use of hydrogen. The injection of this renewable gas into the existing natural gas distribution networks will not only allow infrastructures totaling over 8,000 km in the case of Nortegas to be used, but it will also help to consolidate the role of hydrogen as a lever to decarbonize the economy, for the residential, industrial and mobility markets. It will thus cover the demand of sectors that cannot be electrified given the nature of their activity. The project consists of researching new technological solutions, equipment and components,…

ITOCHU Corporation has agreed to implement joint operationalization research on a hydrogen business based on the local production for local consumption model in northern Kyushu with Nippon Coke & Engineering Company and Compagnie Maritime Belge. Featuring both the hydrogen byproduct of Nippon Coke and CMB’s hydrogen engine, this project creates both supply of and demand for hydrogen in northern Kyushu, with the goal of quickly building a supply chain based on the local production for local consumption model to aid in the realization of a carbon-free society. In Japan’s green growth strategies, hydrogen is seen as a key technology for…

GE Renewable Energy will supply a total of 15 of GE’s 4 MW-137 wind turbines for the Cau Dat wind farm in Vietnam.
