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

Universal Hydrogen completes test of liquid H2 fuel

Universal Hydrogen has announced the successful test of a ‘megawatt-class’ fuel cell powertrain using its proprietary liquid hydrogen module to supply the fuel. The liquid H2 module powered the company’s ‘iron bird’ ground test rig for more than 100 minutes. This equates to a regional aircraft flight profile. Conducted at the Mojave Air & Space

New hydrogen system for liquified hydrogen carriers approved

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE), along with its subsidiaries HD Hyundai Heavy Industry and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, have received approval in principle from class society DNV for their new hydrogen system for a liquified hydrogen carrier. This new system utilises boil-off gas from hydrogen transport for a hybrid propulsion system, integrating hydrogen

ClassNK, FUKUI to collaborate toward installation of safety relief valve

Fukui Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (FUKUI) and ClassNK have signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning a joint study on a safety relief valve for a cargo tank of liquefied hydrogen carriers at the “Gastech2023” held in Singapore. To combat global warming, attention is growing towards hydrogen as an energy source that does not emit CO2 at

Safety on liquid hydrogen carrier improved after valve failure

A valve failure that caused a flame to flare up briefly on the world’s first liquid hydrogen carrier before its first trip from Australia to Japan highlighted the need for strong fault detection systems, an Australian safety report found. The cause of the incident on the Suiso Frontier on Jan. 25 last year has been
