Pure Hydrogen’s sales manager, Clint Butler, has unveiled the company’s ambitious plan to revolutionize the transportation sector with the Taurus prime mover. Boasting a remarkable nine-month turnaround from order to deployment, this hydrogen-powered vehicle aims to outpace traditional diesel trucks, marking a significant stride toward cleaner and more efficient road transport.
In a bid to transition to cleaner energy sources, the exploration of hydrogen blending in existing natural gas pipelines has gained momentum. However, recent research from the Argonne National Laboratory reveals a critical hurdle — the increased risk of pipeline leakage associated with hydrogen blending, potentially limiting its viability in current infrastructure.
Glosten, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has chosen Ballard Power Systems and Chart Industries as primary equipment vendors for the world’s first hydrogen-hybrid research vessel. The vessel, currently in the design phase and named the CCRV, will be owned and operated by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps).
H-TEC SYSTEMS has successfully delivered its ME450 PEM electrolyser to the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven (HLB), a research initiative at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES). The collaboration, led by general contractor Wenger Engineering GmbH, focuses on the intricate interplay between wind turbines and electrolytic hydrogen production.
Getech has entered into a partnership with LIAG (Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics), a key player in the HyAfrica consortium. The collaborative effort aims to expedite the exploration and development of natural hydrogen in Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, and Togo.
Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, has unveiled a groundbreaking achievement with the successful lab-scale demonstration of its innovative HyRefine technology.
Element, a leading provider of testing, inspection, and certification services, is launching a groundbreaking $10 million investment program. This comprehensive initiative includes cutting-edge hydrogen testing equipment and an expansion of Element’s hydrogen-focused team on a global scale.
Swedish group Universal Kraft’s ambitious project, GP H2 As Pontes, has received a substantial financial boost from the central Government. The project, set to establish a large industrial conglomerate in As Pontes, aims to produce green ammonia and hydrogen, contributing to the region’s economic and environmental transformation.
German economy ministry has issued a warning about a potentially higher future demand for hydrogen storage capacity than initially anticipated. The revelation, outlined in the ‘Green Paper Hydrogen Storage,’ points to a potential underestimation of demand, attributed to uncertainties regarding supply bottlenecks and an optimization logic based on economic criteria used in earlier estimates.
In the fervent global competition for clean-burning hydrogen fuel supremacy, China has unexpectedly emerged as a frontrunner, surpassing the United States, according to a recent report from the International Energy Agency.
