GET H2 TransHyDE joint project, in Lingen, has achieved a significant breakthrough. For the first time, hydrogen has been produced at the site of the RWE gas-fired power plant in Emsland (KEM) using a high-temperature solid oxide electrolyser (SOEC) from Sunfire.
Norwegian hydrogen company Nel Hydrogen has chosen Plymouth Charter Township, Michigan, as the location for its new automated gigafactory.
Universal Hydrogen Co. has soared to new heights in the realm of zero-emission aviation. The company recently marked significant milestones, including successful test flights and a substantial order book for its innovative regional hydrogen-powered aircraft conversion kits. These achievements pave the way for a greener future in aviation and bring us closer to sustainable skies.
In a tragic incident, a laboratory worker at a hydrogen fuel cell factory in Vénissieux, near Lyon, found himself in the midst of an emergency after an explosion occurred on a fateful Tuesday. The incident, which occurred due to contact with chemicals, has raised concerns about workplace safety and the potential hazards associated with hydrogen-related industries.
Alfa Laval has teamed up with key industry partners in a consortium to develop and build the world’s first 10 MW green hydrogen production facility offshore in the North Sea, near the Belgian coast.
Three major Japanese shipping companies—Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” Line), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK)—have joined forces with JSE Ocean, a subsidiary of Japan Suiso Energy (JSE). This collaboration marks a crucial step towards realizing Japan’s ambitious hydrogen targets as outlined in its Basic Hydrogen Strategy, revised by the Japanese government in June 2023.
Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with easyJet, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in their hydrogen research project. This achievement propels hydrogen as a potent contender for powering aircraft, revolutionizing the narrow-body aviation segment from the mid-2030s onward.
ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. oil company, is making headlines by lobbying the Biden administration for natural gas-derived hydrogen to qualify for subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act. This move has ignited a debate about the role of fossil fuel companies in the transition to cleaner energy sources.
Dutch government is allocating a total of 125 million euros over the next four years to promote hydrogen as a fuel. This bold move, spearheaded by outgoing State Secretary Vivianne Heijnen of Infrastructure and Water Management, aims to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles and infrastructure across the country.
Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) has signed two groundbreaking memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with American firm ‘Eden Geopower’ and Omani Earth Sciences Consultancy Center.
