Hydrogen fuel transport could become safe with new silicon-based powder

EPRO Advance Technology (EAT), a renewable energy company, has developed a revolutionary porous silicon material, known as Si+, which has the ability to generate ultra-pure hydrogen from a water source. It also acts as a solid-state hydrogen generating material – one that is compact, robust, and easily transportable – solving many of the issues that

Airbus joins Hy24 JV to invest in clean hydrogen

Airbus has joined the world’s largest clean hydrogen infrastructure investment fund, managed by Hy24 – a joint venture between Ardian, and FiveTHydrogen. The JV’s investment fund will provide financial capital to large-scale green hydrogen infrastructure projects globally. Airbus will scale up global hydrogen economy, and enter into zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. Joining this fund

UK launches world’s first hydrogen subsidy scheme

The UK government has officially opened the world’s first national low carbon subsidy scheme for hydrogen. The scheme is aimed at achieving a target of 1GW of clean hydrogen production by 2025 on the way to 10GW of low carbon hydrogen capacity by 2030. The UK government in 2020 announced a plan to develop 5GW

Trials on hydrogen generator completed

HS2 construction site in London has held successful trials for two zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell-based electricity generators – cutting carbon and improving air quality for workers and the local community. Tested and commissioned on site in August 2021 by HS2’s mains work civils contractor Skanska Costain STRABAG (SCS JV), the trial shows that the products

GreenZo Energy to set up 50 MW hydrogen capacity in Nepal

GreenZo Energy will set up green hydrogen capacities totalling 50 MW at various locations in Nepal. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with API Power Company Limied to develop 50 MW green hydrogen plants. The plant can generate 4,000 million tonnes of hydrogen annually within a span of three years. Under the

Project on shipping hydrogen from Portugal to the Netherlands moves ahead

Shell, Engie, Anthony Veder and Vopak have agreed to study the feasibility of shipping hydrogen from Portugal to the Netherlands. The new collaboration has indicated the progress for a project that was hit by the exit of Portugal’s two largest energy companies last year. The companies plan to produce 100 t/d of hydrogen via electrolysis

First renewable hydrogen highway in Australia in the offing

The NSW and Victorian Governments have each invested $10 million in grant funding for the Hume Hydrogen Highway, a joint grant initiative to support the development of at least four refuelling stations along the highway and approximately 25 hydrogen-powered trucks. Applications are now open for $20 million in grant funding to support the design and

EU to jointly launch hydrogen projects with a group of 35 companies

The European Commission approved a 5.4-billion-euro ($5.4 billion) hydrogen project jointly funded by 15 EU countries and 35 companies including Alstom and Daimler Truck, seeking to gain the edge in an innovative sector. The project, called IPCEI Hy2Tech, aims to attract another 8.8 billion euros in private investments. Other participating companies include Ansaldo, Bosch, Enel,

Researchers at IISc in India develop technology to produce green hydrogen from biomass

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an innovative technology that can produce hydrogen from biomass. The process consists of two steps. In the first step, biomass is converted into syngas — a hydrogen-rich fuel gas mixture — in a novel reactor using oxygen and steam. In the second step, pure hydrogen is generated from syngas

Quad nations agreed to endorse development of hydrogen, ammonia

At the first energy meeting of the Quad nations, Japan, the US, Australia and India have agreed to promote technological development for clean-burning hydrogen and ammonia as fuels. Energy ministers from the four countries gathered in Sydney, affirming the importance of enhancing the clean energy supply chain and ensuring energy security. The US and Australia
