AVL increases its innovation power in hydrogen technology
AVL, an Austrian company renowned for its inventive prowess, has increased its innovation output in 2023, with a significant focus on fuel cells and electrolysis.
AVL has championed the Austrian inventor ranking for the 13th consecutive year, increasing its innovative output by over 11 percent compared to the previous year. Particularly impressive has been the company’s thrust in electrification, with two-thirds of the innovations stemming from this sector.
The company has strongly emphasized the development of fuel cells and electrolysis, with these technologies accounting for 44 percent of their patent applications. Cumulatively, AVL has submitted 236 application patents in these areas.
Australian Academy of Science recognized for hydrogen research
The Australian Academy of Science has recognized one of Australia’s top young chemical engineers’ pioneering research at the University of Adelaide.
Professor Yao Zheng of the School of Chemical Engineering won the Le Fèvre Medal for splitting raw sea water to make green hydrogen without pretreatment.
Professor Yao Zheng is an internationally renowned chemical engineer who studies catalysis and energy materials chemistry for green hydrogen production, which is essential for environmental and economic sustainability and net-zero emissions by 2050.
Hydrologiq initiates Digital Supply Chain Testbed
Hydrologiq has initiated the Digital Supply Chain Testbed for Hydrogen NRMM in association with Motive Fuels and Reynolds Logistics, as well as Digital Catapult, the project’s partners. Numerous obstacles are preventing the hydrogen supply chain from becoming widely used now and from expanding in the future. Based on our in-house research and practical experience, two of the biggest challenges the sector is presently facing are limited supply of hydrogen fuel and assets, as well as a lack of data and process standardization.
Green Hydrogen Systems completes technical proof of concept for X-Series electrolyser
Green Hydrogen Systems, a Danish company financed by the EU, has successfully completed the technical proof of concept for its X-Series electrolyser prototype. This accomplishment marks a significant turning point in the company’s plan to implement onshore and offshore electrolysis on a broad scale in accordance with the EU’s policy to increase the generation of hydrogen and reduce its carbon footprint by dispensing with fossil fuels.
