Trio Of Sustainable Power Sources To Drive Royal Caribbean Group's Next Class Of Ships Into The Future
The new class of ships, known as 'Project Evolution,' will operate using a trio of power sources including a fuel cell system, battery technology and dual fuel engines using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the main fuel. This hybrid solution, using fuel cell technology, allows the ship to be free of local emissions while at port — another industry first.
NextEra doubles down on green hydrogen, other renewables
NextEra is doubling down on green hydrogen, with plans to build a 500-megawatt wind project to provide power to a hydrogen fuel cell company, the company noted Wednesday in a third quarter earnings call with analysts.
The Florida-based energy giant said it continues to expand its wind portfolio as well, announcing on Wednesday's call a deal by its NextEra Energy Partners limited partnership to acquire a 100-megawatt wind project in California for $280 million, including taking on $150 million in existing project finance debt.

Transforming Texas into a global hydrogen hub
The Center for Houston’s Future and the University of Houston, with support from other key collaborators, conducted assessments to identify opportunities for expanding clean H2 value chains in Texas and to develop a vision and roadmap to enter and expand new markets for H2. The institutions looked beyond the considerable existing H2 production and use in the Houston Gulf Coast region, which is predominantly used for oil refining and petrochemical feedstock. The purpose of this article is to summarize the outcomes of that work.
Ohio River Valley Hydrogen and CCS Hub Market Formation
This LEP workshop focused on the Ohio River Valley as a potential leader in the formation of a regional hub for hydrogen and CCS where tri-state (Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) cooperation could help meet low-carbon targets while preserving and creating jobs in the region.
Microsoft reaffirms strong hydrogen commitments as it proves longevity of fuel cells
When Microsoft first looked into hydrogen fuel cells to power its data centres, suppliers told them they hadn’t run them for very long. However, the technology giant soon proved that such technologies can in-fact run for multiple days.
That’s what David Fernandes, Business Strategist at Microsoft, told H2 View’s North American Virtual Hydrogen Summit today (Oct 19). On the anecdote, he continued, “We actually ran our I.T. load off hydrogen fuel cells for 48 straight hours. And we were able to swap our hydrogen supply while we were doing this.
“The other concept we proved out here is that you can pretty easily scale this technology.”
Why Utah aims to be the 'hydrogen hub for the crossroads of the West'
As Rep. Melissa Ballard, R-North Salt Lake, put it: "We're going to be the hydrogen hub for the crossroads of the West."
"We have the opportunity at utility-scale to produce and distribute from many applications and we have Utah manufacturers who are making these applications for Utahns and also to be distributed across the country," she continued.
MTD's unveils hydrogen-powered buses: 'The ultimate expression' of sustainability
“We want to go zero emissions, but we want to do it in a way that allows us to continue to make our routes and schedules serve the community’s needs instead of our vehicle’s needs,” Gnadt said. “Hydrogen electric does that.”
The MTD consulted with the few others agencies that have adopted the hydrogen-electric buses. There’s one in Flint, Mich., and some model in Canton, Ohio. AC Transit of Oakland, Calif., has run hydrogen-fuel-cell buses since 2000.

Hydrogen Heavy Duty Vehicle Industry Group Partners to Standardize Hydrogen Refueling, Bringing Hydrogen Closer to Wide Scale Adoption
The Hydrogen Heavy Duty Vehicle Industry Group – comprised of hydrogen industry leaders Air Liquide, Hyundai, Nel Hydrogen, Nikola Corporation, Shell and Toyota, has signed agreements with Tatsuno Corporation and Transfer Oil S.p.A. to industrialize globally-standard 70 MPa hydrogen heavy-duty vehicle high-flow (H70HF) fueling hardware components.
Air Liquide and Faurecia announce a Development Agreement to boost Hydrogen for Heavy-Duty vehicles
Air Liquide and Faurecia today announce the signature of a joint development agreement to design and produce on-board liquid hydrogen storage systems for the automotive industry.
Hydrogen’s moment is here at last; After decades of doubts the gas is coming of age
Kerry Lines Up Pledges to Scrub Emissions from Carbon-Heavy
The commitments will target four sectors initially: aviation, shipping, steel and trucking. Technologies to cut pollution from them exists, such as sustainable jet fuel, ships running on methanol, steel made from green hydrogen and electric trucks. But those solutions often are a lot more expensive than fossil fuel-reliant routes, and the product supply isn’t always available at scale.
CP’s Hydrogen-Powered Locomotive Pilot Project
CP’s Hydrogen Locomotive Program aims to develop North America's first line-haul hydrogen-powered locomotive. The program involves retrofitting a line-haul locomotive with hydrogen fuel cells and battery technology to drive the locomotive's electric traction motors.
H2 0EL
In the fall of 2021, the first hydrogen locomotive, "H2 0EL", which stands for Hydrogen - Zero Emissions Locomotive, will be prepped for its official painting and launch.
Bill lays out framework for a hydrogen economy in NM
By “leap-frogging” ahead of other states with a statutory framework to build the industry, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham hopes to tap into new federal funding to help convert New Mexico into the nation’s premier “center of excellence” for a new hydrogen economy.
“There might be other states, we hope, that join in this effort,” Lujan Grisham said on “Everything About Hydrogen,” a national podcast program. “But that’s how we view this – that we become the epicenter of hydrogen development, innovation and delivery.”
Decisive action by governments is critical to unlock growth for low-carbon hydrogen; Investment is increasing in hydrogen projects to support the clean energy transition, but further efforts are needed to reduce costs and encourage wider use across sector
“It is important to support the development of low-carbon hydrogen if governments are going to meet their climate and energy ambitions,” said Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director, who is launching the report today at the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting hosted by Japan. “Governments need to take rapid actions to lower the barriers that are holding low-carbon hydrogen back from faster growth, which will be important if the world is to have a chance of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.”

SoCalGas Among First in the Nation to Test Hydrogen Blending in Real-World Infrastructure and Appliances in Closed Loop System
Preliminary results of testing that began earlier this summer show the household natural gas appliances are compatible with up to a 20% hydrogen blend. These initial findings are consistent with previous international research and lab testing. This effort provides key operational and safety experience, including testing for pipeline leaks, that will enable SoCalGas to implement larger scale hydrogen blending demonstrations. SoCalGas continues to test the impacts of blending hydrogen with natural gas on pipelines and appliances.
