"We estimate that a shift to zero-carbon hydrogen in existing applications, along with modest penetration in gas pipelines and trucks, can reduce global energy combustion CO2 emissions by more than 7%," said Roman Kramarchuk, head of energy scenarios, policy and technology, S&P Global Platts Analytics.
Today California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont committed to move forward together to develop an agreement and action plan to put hundreds of thousands more zero-emission trucks and buses onto their roads and highways. The Statement of Intent announced today is intended to support accelerated deployment of medium- and heavy-duty zero emission trucks and buses.
Once operational, the Weichai-Ballard JV production facility will begin the manufacture of next-generation LCS fuel cell stacks and LCS-based modules to power Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) for the China market. The Weichai-Ballard JV is expected to have initial production capacity of 20,000 fuel cell stacks, or 10,000 modules, based on a two-shift operation.
Four hydrogen trucks will deliver goods for Asko in Trondheim after Christmas. The wholesaler hopes this is the start of a new era for clean goods transport.
A new report from Wood Mackenzie shows promise for the emerging technology.
Renewably produced hydrogen is fast moving from the category "emerging" to "established." At least 10 countries are already jostling for leadership positions in what some see as the next big thing in energy.
Following five years of R&D to maximize efficiency and affordability, in 2016 GenCell introduced the G5 line of hydrogen gas-powered backup generators. Reshef estimates G5’s running cost is a third to half lower than a diesel generator.
Researchers have shown for the first time that a cheap catalyst can split water and generate hydrogen gas for hours on end in the harsh environment of a commercial electrolyzer -- a step toward clean, large-scale hydrogen production for fuel, fertilizer and industry.
We examined the 14 countries at the forefront of hydrogen innovation to understand the ways they are already adopting and investing in hydrogen across sectors, and to what extent they are doing so.
Kiwa, the independent testing, inspection and certifying body, has approved BDR Thermea Group’s range of Remeha domestic gas boilers in the Netherlands for up to 20 percent hydrogen admixture. Adding hydrogen from renewable sources into the natural gas supply is expected to reduce carbon emissions by around 8 percent, and so contribute to the energy transition.
By 2025, Orsted will move beyond studies and have electrolyzer projects up and running, including a 30-megawatt project it’s part of in Germany, Nordstrom said. Beyond then, scale and potential is hard to forecast.
