Hydrogen lorries to hit roads in Germany in 2023

GP Joule in Reußenköge in Schleswig-Holstein is aiming to put the first of 5,000 hydrogen-powered lorries on roads across Germany by mid-2023. Hydrogen can prove a viable alternative to costly batteries for heavy-duty lorries as the fuel can be filled quickly into high-pressure tanks and converted into electric power. This comes as subsidies of up

First semi high-speed hydrogen train introduced in China

China has launched Asia’s first hydrogen powered trains for the Urban Railways and gets a range of 600 km on a single tank, with a top speed of 160 kmph. China’s CRRC Corporation Ltd. has unveiled its first hydrogen urban train, which happens to be Asia’s first hydrogen train. Earlier, Germany unveiled first ever hydrogen

XCMG delivers 100 hydrogen-fueled trucks

XCMG, the world’s top 3 construction machinery manufacturers, has delivered a batch of 100 hydrogen-fueled trucks to the end client Mengxi Zhenghe Group to aid its construction of a mine near Ordos in China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region as part of the thousand-units hydrogen-fueled truck order that signed with Sino-Synergy Hydrogen Energy Technology earlier. The

Hydrogen production with seawater achieved by Chinese researchers

The team under Nanjing Tech University chemical engineering professor Zongping Shao stated that their device “ran for over 3,200 hours under practical application conditions without failure. Currently, the majority of H2 is made using methods powered by fossil fuel, meaning that even though H2 itself doesn’t lead to CO2 emissions when used as a fuel,

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

Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has taken an innovative step forward to eliminate the waste generated in the city. PMC has partnered with business enterprise The Green Billions (TGBL) to manage its waste and generate it into useable green hydrogen. TGBL’s special purpose vehicle or subsidiary, Variate Pune Waste to Energy Private Ltd, will be undertaking

Hydrogen is changing energy sector dynamics

The momentum behind hydrogen has remained strong over the past year, but unexpected twists are changing what insiders are calling the “hydrogen race.” The European Union, the region which just two years ago held a competitive know-how advantage, is now getting caught up in defining its own regulatory framework. These rules are needed to create

HHI verifies performance of LNG/hydrogen engine

Hyundai Heavy Industries successfully verified the performance of a recently developed 1.5MW-class LNG/hydrogen engine, which can selectively use diesel and a mixture of LNG and hydrogen to reduce emissions. Hyundai Heavy says the engine is a first step toward hydrogen-fueled engines. In performance tests, the engine met IMO Tier 3 standards and has low carbon

Hyundai develops hybrid engine

Hyundai Heavy Industries Group has succeeded in developing a hybrid engine that uses a mixture of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen for the first time in Korea. Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. announced that they have successfully completed the performance verification of the 1.5MW LNG/hydrogen hybrid engine (HiMSEN). The

EVs are far more competent than hydrogen

Decarbonizing energy and other industries globally using hydrogen will require investment of almost $15 trillion between now and 2050 according to European Transitions Commission. More than $2 trillion of investment would be required in equipment and infrastructure to sustain the accelerating global momentum towards establishing hydrogen as a competitive element of a net-zero carbon emissions

Hydrogen shipping from Scotland to Rotterdam explored

An international consortium has launched a study on the feasibility of shipping hydrogen at scale from Scotland to the Port of Rotterdam in the form of methylcyclohexane. Methylcyclohexane (MCH) is a chemically stable liquid produced from toluene and hydrogen that can be transported under ambient temperatures and pressure in chemical carriers. Parties behind the project
