Cummins Drives Domestic Green Hydrogen Economy Forward with First U.S. Electrolyzer Manufacturing Facility
Promising signs in electrolyser manufacturing add to growing momentum for low-emissions hydrogen
Taking into account today’s policy settings by governments, the new report estimates that global hydrogen demand is set to reach 115 million tonnes by 2030. If governments fully deliver on their current climate pledges, that number could rise to 130 million tonnes, with more than a quarter of it being met by low-emissions hydrogen. A similar amount of global hydrogen demand would be for new applications in that scenario.
DOE Awards Heliogen $4.1M for Decarbonization Project
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Pasadena, Calif.-based Heliogen $4.1 million to demonstrate a concentrated solar-thermal power (CSP) process for heating limestone to 950°C, which could reduce the carbon emissions in portland cement production.
CSP technologies deploy mirrors to beam sunlight onto a receiver, and can be used to deliver heat for energy-intensive industrial processes or generate electricity using a turbine.

West Coast Leaders Double Down on Bold Actions to Fight Climate Crisis; California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia sign Statement of Cooperation (SOC) to advance climate partnership and support equitable, low-carbon future
In the latest of several climate partnerships among Pacific Coast governments, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia signed a new Statement of Cooperation Thursday recommitting the region to climate action.
Statement of Cooperation excerpts:
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS:
2.2. Accelerate the transition to regional zero-emission transportation by investing in electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling stations.

California Launches Statewide Alliance to Establish Federally Co-Funded Hydrogen Hub
Hydrogen provides an extremely promising pathway to eradicate toxic and carcinogenic diesel emissions and the burden they create on frontline communities throughout the state,” said Eli Lipmen, Executive Director of Move LA, a coalition building nonprofit. “We look forward to continue working with ARCHES to further build a coalition that will ensure these historic investments deliver direct benefits to our most impacted communities.”
This partnership relies on the globally recognized intellectual capital of the entire University of California (UC) System and the three National Labs that the UC oversees—in partnership with the State of California, leading cities, organized labor, industry, and NGOs—with a foundation of strong state policies, in collaboration with the communities all of us serve.
“One of the key lessons we’ve learned in the more than twenty years of the California Fuel Cell Partnership (now the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership) is that success requires active collaboration between government, industry, NGOs, and communities,” said Joe Cappello, Chair, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership and CEO of Iwatani of North America. “ARCHES is set up to foster partnerships like we have, and our members are committed to its success in California and beyond.”

Four electrolyser gigafactories to be built in France as part of €2.1bn state-aid hydrogen push
Electrolyser makers McPhy, Genvia, Elogen and John Cockerill will build new gigafactories in France after being allocated millions of euros of public funding as part of a €2.1bn ($2.05bn) state-aid push to make the country “the world leader in carbon-free hydrogen”.
The money will be split between ten French hydrogen companies, with a particular focus on electrolysis and equipment for commercial fuel-cell trucks (details below), Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne revealed in a speech this week.
California Sets The Standard for Fuel Cell Vehicles in The US
The state’s outlook is optimistic: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) predicts that by 2050, 25% of the new light vehicle market will be fuel cells. If this goal is to be realized, CaFCP has a lot more work to do.

Hyundai Motor to bring 1,700 hydrogen cars to Jeju by 2030
Building such infrastructure will allow the carmaker to deliver 200 garbage trucks, 300 public buses and 1,200 commercial cars to Jeju, all powered by hydrogen. From next year, Hyundai Motor will start supplying hydrogen fuel-cell buses, as well as setting up portable hydrogen charging stations for its flagship hydrogen fuel cell model Nexo.
HyCET research project: Consortium promotes sustainable transport logistics using hydrogen trucks
Munich. A sustainable transport project with long-distance potential: In September 2022, the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) approved the funding application for the consortium research project HyCET (Hydrogen Combustion Engine Trucks) led by the BMW Group. The other HyCET project partners are DEUTZ AG, DHL Freight GmbH, KEYOU GmbH, TotalEnergies Marketing Deutschland GmbH and Volvo Group.
The research project aims to demonstrate the sustainability potential of trucks with hydrogen combustion engines for transport logistics.
EQC votes to expand the Oregon Clean Fuels Program
Expanding these targets will:
• Provide lower-carbon fuel providers with valuable incentives to continue to bring their products to Oregon
• Increase the availability and lower the cost of low-carbon liquid fuels that can be used by existing internal combustion engines
• Bring down the cost of the transition to zero emission technologies like electric and fuel cell vehicles
