Airbus launches 3 hydrogen feasibility studies

Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of several major airports in North America where Airbus is conducting feasibility studies for hydrogen infrastructure. As Airbus presses ahead with ambitious plans to bring hydrogen-powered airliners into commercial service through its ZeroE program, the aircraft manufacturer is eyeing several major airports in North America as locations for

Genevos joins H2-SEAS consortium in hydrogen project

Genevos, a French specialist in hydrogen and fuel cell power systems integration for the maritime sector, has joined the H2-SEAS consortium that aims to develop and build a hydrogen-electric fishing vessel prototype. The consortium includes the project leader Riga Technical University, fellow Latvian shipyard A2Z Gannet SIA, the Stockholm Environment Institute Tallinn Centre of Estonia,

Researchers find liquid lithium more efficient than hydrogen

There is a chemical element that some consider better than hydrogen and produces more energy: liquid lithium. It may be key to fusion energy. New experiments have revealed that it may be easier to use fusion as an energy source if liquid lithium is attached to the inner walls of the device containing the fusion

Hanaria ship powered by hydrogen and biodiesel passes certification

The Hanaria, a ship powered by both hydrogen and biodiesel, underwent certification between March 26 and April 4, 2024, an exercise that saw it sailing between Kokura Port in Kitakyūshū and a wind farm located off the city’s Wakamatsu Ward. The vessel successfully completed the 57-kilometer return voyage in three hours and 45 minutes without

Govt to introduce hydrogen-based process for steel production

Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Nagendra Nath Sinha said that the government is working on introducing a green hydrogen-based process in the steel industry where the iron will be directly reduced with 100 per cent hydrogen, resulting in a sharp reduction in carbon emissions. Addressing the challenge of rising carbon emissions amid growing demand, Sinha pointed

Ricardo gets AiP for marine hydrogen fuel-cell system  

Ricardo designed and developed the technology in its capacity as lead partner on the EU-funded Sustainable Hydrogen Powered Shipping (sHYpS) project. The project is developing a method of stacking 375-kW fuel cells into a multi-MW system for passenger ships. Ricardo serves as the lead partner on the project, work which includes the specification, design, build

Airbus launches aviation liquid hydrogen project

TU Delft is one of the academic partners in an innovative aviation hydrogen handling and refuelling project, led by Airbus and supported by academic partners, airport operators and leading hydrogen-industry companies that was launched on 16 May in Brussels. The project, co-funded by the European Union, has been launched to demonstrate small-scale liquid hydrogen aircraft

China develops first vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen system

China has successfully developed its first 100-kilogram class vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen system, marking a new breakthrough in the country’s transportation sector, according to its developer China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). As one of the core components of liquid hydrogen heavy trucks, the new system is fully domestically produced and will help hydrogen-powered heavy

The first alcohol engine to revolutionize mobility

Researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) have just been able to get huge success in fuel cells (FC) technology recently. Shown which way to go is they have devised a highly-effective ethanol-based fuel cell that could turn on its ears all transportation and mobility as we know them. In contrast to most fuel

FIS proposes hydrogen as fuel for fishing vessels

UK-based fisheries technology company Fisheries Innovation and Sustainability (FIS) has released a report on the possibility of utilising hydrogen as fuel for fishing vessels in the UK. Developed in partnership with local naval architecture firm Macduff Ship Design, and with support from Marine Fund Scotland, the research provides detailed vessel specifications, and – by drawing
