Airbus, a leading European aircraft manufacturer, is setting its sights on a groundbreaking development in the aviation industry. The company is eyeing the possibility of commissioning a 150-seat hydrogen plane, with the target year for potential launch set for 2035.
Lhyfe and Thevenin & Ducrot (AVIA) have emerged as the winners of a call for proposals initiated by the town of Bussy-Saint-Georges in partnership with various public entities. This collaborative venture aims to establish a green hydrogen fuel chain in the Seine-et-Marne region, marking a promising shift towards sustainable mobility and job creation.
Siemens Energy, as part of the HYFLEXPOWER consortium, has achieved a world-first by successfully operating an industrial gas turbine with 100% renewable hydrogen. This milestone, accomplished at the Smurfit Kappa site in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France, brings to light a promising outlook for carbon-neutral power generation and the ambitious goal of decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.
In the heart of the Netherlands, a groundbreaking collaborative effort is underway to harness the power of green hydrogen in the nation’s mission to combat climate change. The journey towards a sustainable, green future has found a reliable ally in “HyTROS,” short for “Hydrogen Transport, Offshore, and Storage.” This ambitious initiative, part of the Nationaal Groeifonds (National Growth Fund), signifies the Netherlands’ determined leap from a fossil-based society to an eco-friendly era.
The Netherlands is making bold strides towards a more sustainable future by embracing green hydrogen as a key element of its decarbonization strategy. However, the road to achieving this vision is encountering a significant obstacle – the rapidly increasing costs associated with using the electricity grid. These rising expenses have the potential to undermine ambitious plans for large-scale green hydrogen production, a critical component in the nation’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
For years, the world’s automotive landscape has been dominated by the relentless march of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric motors are widely hailed as the future of mobility, promising cleaner, more sustainable transportation. Yet, beneath the surface, other alternative fuel technologies continue to quietly advance, including hydrogen. And now, a company based in Graz, Austria, has unveiled an impressive hydrogen-powered engine that’s challenging the traditional gasoline paradigm.
In the region of Bretagne, France, an audacious vision was conceived when André Morin, a seasoned pilot and mechanics expert, crossed paths with Wilson Hago, a California-based chemist and physicist. Their shared ambition was to revolutionize the transport and mobility sector by commercializing a cutting-edge hybrid hydrogen engine system that incorporated a carbon dioxide capture (CO2) technology.
A team of scientists from Latvia, in collaboration with experts from Romania, Spain, and Germany, is pioneering an innovative solution that could revolutionize hydrogen production: artificial intelligence.
As the world races to combat climate change and transition towards greener energy solutions, Belgium is setting its sights on an ambitious goal: becoming completely climate neutral by 2050. At the heart of this endeavor is the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a current energy hub that plays a pivotal role in Belgium’s sustainable future.
Groningen Airport Eelde, situated in the Netherlands, is embarking on a visionary journey to become one of Europe’s greenest airports, leading the charge in sustainable aviation. In a significant step towards this transformation, a coalition of twelve partners recently signed a declaration of intent to develop a comprehensive liquid and gaseous hydrogen infrastructure at the airport, creating an environmentally responsible hydrogen network.
