The European Council has approved a proposal that sets ambitious emission reduction targets for the heavy-duty transport sector. These targets essentially mandate a gradual transition away from fossil fuel-powered vehicles, making way for zero-emissions trucks and buses fueled by hydrogen or batteries.
Hyzon Motors, a US-based hydrogen fuel cell truck manufacturer, is closing its European truck factory in Winschoten, Netherlands, less than a year after acquiring full ownership of its European operations. The decision comes amid a strategic shift towards a third-party assembly model, mirroring its approach in the US.
Pioneering bus manufacturer Wrightbus, based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, has secured a significant order for its zero-emission hydrogen buses from German bus operator West Verkehr. The deal involves the supply of 12 Kite Hydroliner single-deck buses, marking another milestone in Wrightbus’s expansion into the European sustainable transport market.
Saudi-based ACWA Power, a global leader in water desalination and renewable energy, has inked seven cooperation agreements with prominent Chinese firms. These deals span a range of projects including solar power, green hydrogen, and water desalination, marking a significant milestone in collaborative sustainable development.
The government’s A$2 billion Hydrogen Headstart program, managed by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), aims to bridge the cost gap between green hydrogen production and market prices, propelling Australia’s renewable hydrogen ambitions to new heights.
As electric vehicles gain dominance, hydrogen advocates are looking to secure their place in the clean mobility market. Here, we delve into the current landscape, challenges, and hopes for hydrogen mobility in France, especially for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
Oman, a nation long associated with oil and gas, is embarking on an ambitious journey to become a global leader in green hydrogen production. With a massive investment of $33 billion earmarked for this sector, the Sultanate aims to produce at least 1 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030, rising to 8.5 million tonnes by 2050.
Iberdrola is making a bold move to become a global frontrunner in green hydrogen technology. With a portfolio of 60 green hydrogen projects spanning Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and the United States, the company is poised to invest a staggering €9 billion by 2030.
Fortescue is stepping onto the international stage with a grand ambition—to bring the benefits of green hydrogen to the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará.
A study by the Norddeutscher Reallabor (NRL) highlights the pivotal role of green hydrogen in Germany’s industrial decarbonization efforts. The study estimates the country’s future demand for green hydrogen to reach at least 211 TWh annually as industries transition to climate-friendly technologies.
