SEA-KIT International has secured funding from the Zero Emissions Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition to develop a revolutionary hydrogen-fueled Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). Collaborating with the forward-thinking Marine2o, SEA-KIT aims to usher in a new era of emission-free vessel operation with a project called ZEPHR – Zero Emissions Ports Hydrogen Refilling Survey Vessel.

The pursuit of green hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source has been propelled to the forefront of the global energy transition. At the heart of this endeavor lies a fundamental process: water splitting, where water is transformed into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis.

H2 Green Steel has successfully raised over €1 billion, marking the largest private placement in Europe this year. This substantial funding injection is earmarked for a gigawatt (GW)–scale electrolyzer project in Sweden, propelling the vision of sustainable steel production into reality.

The Renewable Grid Initiative (RGI), a consortium of 13 European grid operators, has released a report that questions the efficiency of Europe’s plan to produce 10 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. While this ambitious goal aligns with the EU’s energy plan REPowerEU, which also includes importing an additional 10 million tons of green hydrogen, concerns are arising regarding the optimal use of renewable energy in achieving this target.

Spanish government has outlined plans for an extensive network of hydrogen pipelines, connecting the country internally and reaching out to Europe.
