Australia has opened its $2 billion Hydrogen Headstart program to applications, as it seeks to bridge the commercial gap between the cost of producing green hydrogen and the market price for large-scale projects.
Solarvest Borneo Sdn Bhd (Solarvest Borneo), a subsidiary of the clean energy expert, Solarvest Holdings Berhad (Solarvest), together with Centre for Technology Excellence Sarawak (CENTEXS) and Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus (Swinburne) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop a revolutionary hydrogen and electric prototype race car.
Japan will subsidize hydrogen fuel cell systems and other equipment to the tune of 30.6 billion yen ($205 million) in support of the development of components for electric aircraft with reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Hydrogen is evaluated as one of the next-generation eco-friendly energy sources that will replace fossil fuels along with electricity. It emits only water while driving, can dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and has a high energy density, making it effective not only in passenger cars but also in moving commercial vehicles, trains, and ships. Another advantage is that the charging time is short compared to electricity, and unlike fossil fuels, it can be mined in various areas.
Equinix, a global leader in digital infrastructure, has joined forces with the National University of Singapore (NUS) to explore a groundbreaking solution—hydrogen fuel cells as a green backup power source for data centers.
