In the UK, Ford said it is spearheading research into the potential for hydrogen as an on-board energy source for its E-Transit van. The project will establish if hydrogen fuel cell technology can deliver more zero-emission range to heavy-use E-Transit customers. Partially funded by the Advanced Propulsion Center (APC), Ford’s consortium of six partners will […]
In Ohio, Cleveland-Cliffs announced that it has successfully completed a hydrogen injection trial at its Middletown Works blast furnace. The firm noted that this introduction of hydrogen gas as an iron reducing agent in the blast furnace is the first ever use of this carbon friendly technology in the Americas region. The successful use of […]
In Singapore, CWP Global said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with German firm Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, for a joint feasibility study in 2023 that will explore a 500 tons per day hydrogen transport chain from Morocco to Europe using Hydrogenious’ liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) technology. The 15 GW AMUN project near the […]
In Australia, ABC reported that the Tallawarra B power station is expected to transition from natural gas to 5% hydrogen mix by 2025. EnergyAustralia managing director Mark Collette said that plans were in place to increase the hydrogen mix to 20% using the current configuration of the imported GE turbine. “We do understand at the […]
In California, Bloom Energy said it has begun generating hydrogen from the world’s largest solid oxide electrolyzer installation at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. This unit produces 20-25% more hydrogen per megawatt (MW) than commercially demonstrated lower temperature electrolyzers such as proton electrolyte membrane (PEM) or alkaline. The company noted that this […]
In the Philippines, Minda News reported that French company Hydrogène de France (HDF) will construct a P5-billion renewable-energy power plant in the province of Zamboanga Sibugay, with the aim of generating power from water. The Philippine Information Agency reported that the proposed hydrogen plant will be built in the municipality of Talusan in Olutanga Island. […]
In Portugal, Fusion Fuel announced that it has formally entered into a $2.70 million equipment supply contract with Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) for a 550 kW solar-to-green hydrogen project in Zaragoza, Spain. The company had previously been selected as the ‘best value proposal’ following the public tender for the project, which will be […]
