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.
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), a Japanese shipping firm, and EDF Renewables, a French renewable energy company, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to cooperate in the acceleration of the development of offshore wind and related business and to encourage developments in green hydrogen.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has succeeded in significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production by developing a new carbon-supported catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis.
The New South Wales Government has signed a $45 million funding agreement to build a hydrogen hub on Kooragang Island near Newcastle. The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub is designed to assist emissions-intensive industries to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
PTTEP (PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited) and POSCO Holdings have joined forces once again, this time to explore groundbreaking opportunities within the realms of blue and green hydrogen as well as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. This strategic partnership aims to propel clean energy initiatives forward while fostering robust and environmentally responsible business growth.
CIMC Enric’s Hydrogen Energy High-pressure Gas Hydrogen Division, also known as Shijiazhuang Enric Gas Equipment Company Limited, has introduced China’s inaugural 30 MPa carbon fiber winding tube bundle hydrogen container.
Taiwan’s 2050 net-zero carbon emission goal, National Central University and Xinding Nano Company have joined forces to drive innovation in the realm of hydrogen production from seawater.
