Olectra-Reliance’s hydrogen buses likely to be on roads

Olectra Greentech Limited, in association with technology partner Reliance, has developed a Hydrogen bus which is a carbon-free alternative to traditional public transport. A single hydrogen fill allows the bus to travel up to 400 km. It’s tailpipe emission is only water. Meanwhile, India’s first truly indigenously developed Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus was launched last

Toyota to supply hydrogen fuel cell modules to Hyliko

Hyliko, a French start-up, plans to integrate Toyota’s second-generation hydrogen fuel cell modules into heavy-duty trucks for their zero-emission fleet offering. This latest cooperation into the truck sector further expands Toyota’s portfolio of partnerships where it provides its fuel cell technology for hydrogen solutions across diverse sectors including trains, buses, generators, and various marine applications.

Researchers getting closer to solving hydrogen storage problem

Researchers are now one step closer in solving one of the biggest bottlenecks associated with using magnesium hydride to store hydrogen. For decades, scientists have debated why dehydrogenation within MgH2 is so difficult. But now, the research group has uncovered an answer. Tohoku University researchers drilling into the magnesium hydride hydrogen storage concept are zeroing

Samsung joins MEG HP1 development project

Perth-based Infinite Green Energy (IGE) announced it has entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with key joint development agreement terms with Samsung C&T, to jointly develop and build the MEG HP1 green hydrogen plant. The agreement sees Samsung take a stake of undisclosed size for an undisclosed sum in the solar-powered green hydrogen

Carisbrooke Shipping partners with Carnot for hydrogen engine trial

Carisbrooke Shipping has partnered with Carnot whose consortium has been awarded £2.3m ($2.75m) to develop a zero-emission 50kW hydrogen auxiliary engine demonstrator. Following design, simulations and s testing, the single-fuel hydrogen engine will be integrated into a containerised system and mounted on the deck of one of Carisbrooke’s vessels for a 40-day sea trial in

Stadtwerke bags order for hydrogen buses

The German carrier Stadtwerke Aschaffenburg Verkehrs GmbH has opted for 12 Solaris hydrogen buses: 10 Urbino 12 hydrogen and 2 Urbino 18 hydrogen units. This is Solaris’s first order for the 18-meter hydrogen-powered buses that were launched in autumn last year. The ordered buses will roll out onto the streets of this German city as

Hydrogen valleys development in Kochi

Kerala hopes to develop hydrogen valleys in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram and achieve 30% green hydrogen blending in the total hydrogen usage in the State by 2027. This was revealed in a preliminary draft drawn up for a Kerala green hydrogen policy. The draft was circulated for discussion at a workshop on ‘Hydrogen Valley in Kerala’

Sinopec puts first hydrogen refueling station into operation

Sinopec put China’s first integrated methanol-to-hydrogen and hydrogen refueling service station into operation. The integrated complex in Dalian, Liaoning province can produce 1,000 kilograms of hydrogen, with a high purity of 99.999 percent, a day, Yicai Global learned from Sinopec’s public relations department. Beijing-based Sinopec will promote the service model at its 30,000 gas stations

Making hydrogen straight from seawater

The new method from RMIT University researchers splits the seawater directly into hydrogen and oxygen – skipping the need for desalination and its associated cost, energy consumption and carbon emissions. Hydrogen has long been touted as a clean future fuel and a potential solution to critical energy challenges, especially for industries that are harder to

First waste-to-hydrogen plant to come up in Pune

The first solid waste-to-hydrogen plant in India will be set up in Pune at a cost of over Rs 430 crore. The plant will be set up by sustainability solutions provider TheGreenBillions Ltd (TGBL), who has entered into a 30-year-long agreement with Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). It will treat 350 tonnes of solid garbage every
