Australian aerospace startup AMSL Aero (AMSL) is charting an ambitious course to the skies, propelled by the support of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The game-changing endeavor is aimed at developing a hydrogen-powered electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft (eVTOL), aptly named the Vertiia.

In recent years, the green hydrogen industry has witnessed a fascinating shift in focus – a transition from the idea of importing green hydrogen from regions like North Africa to nurturing local, sustainable production within Europe.

HGenium has emerged as a pioneering technology company set to reshape the industry. Dr. Casper Brady, HGenium’s Senior Scientist, recently took the stage at the 2023 AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) conference held in Orlando, Florida. His presentation unveiled HGenium’s groundbreaking thermochemical water splitting process.

German conglomerate Siemens Energy and the French industrial gas specialist Air Liquide have jointly opened a factory in Berlin, which may be modest in size but possesses the revolutionary potential to transform the landscape of heavy industry decarbonization. The factory, inaugurated on Wednesday, is set to manufacture electrolyser modules, a critical component in the production of low carbon hydrogen.

Prime Minister António Costa’s resignation has sent shockwaves through Portugal, triggered by a series of searches at key government offices and companies.

Romania’s pursuit of eco-friendly rail transportation encountered a roadblock as the Railway Reform Authority (ARF) canceled its procurement procedure for 12 hydrogen-powered trains due to the submission of a single non-compliant bid. This setback raises questions about the future of hydrogen trains in the country and their role in sustainable transit.

The Suez Canal Economic Zone in Egypt has solidified a transformative partnership with prominent Chinese firms, ushering in a new era of green fuel manufacturing. The $15.6 billion agreement is poised to drive sustainable energy initiatives and spark economic growth in the region.

Hyundai Rotem, one of South Korea’s leading tank manufacturers, presented a vision for the next generation of main battle tanks (MBTs) at the recent ADEX 2023 arms exhibition held in Seoul. While the K2 “Black Panther” currently serves as South Korea’s advanced MBT, discussions about its eventual replacement have been ongoing among senior military officials. Hyundai’s concept, known as Next Gen MBT (NG MBT), represents a significant step towards that future.

As the world eagerly embraces the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source, the efficient transport of this versatile gas becomes a critical consideration. A recent study published by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) dives into the energy requirements for transporting hydrogen through various methods and uncovers some compelling insights.

In a determined move to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany is discovering that its path to sustainability depends significantly on an earlier and more substantial supply of green hydrogen. Recent findings from a survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment suggest that the demand for hydrogen is much greater and arrives sooner than previously assumed.
