Hydrogen is uniquely capable of enabling the energy transition as the only zero-emission technology able to produce the intense heat necessary for the industrial production of cement, steel, glass and other materials. And as a versatile energy carrier, hydrogen is also complementary to other low- and zero-carbon fuels -- allowing utilities across the nation to harness energy from wind, solar…
Germany has an advanced hydrogen strategy and the country is working hard on its implementation. Probably more than a quarter of state funding committed by all 17 countries with hydrogen strategies to date is provided by the German government. Germany considers only hydrogen produced from renewable electricity to be sustainable in the long term and thus favors green hydrogen. Nevertheless…
A “hydrogen hub” — a cluster of local hydrogen production, storage and demand — can be a great first step in developing the hydrogen economy. Long Island is well-positioned to become a hydrogen hub, given the high energy demand in the New York City metro area, limited transmission connections, and large offshore wind potential, which could be used to produce…
PACCAR Inc (Bellevue, WA) will develop eighteen Class-8 battery electric and fuel cell vehicles with advanced batteries and a megawatt charging station will also be developed and demonstrated. (Award amount: $32,971,041) Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (Portland, OR) will develop and demonstrate two 2 Class-8 fuel cell trucks with 600-mile range, 25,000-hour durability, equivalent payload capacity and range to diesel…
The federal hydrogen strategy aims to prepare Belgium as well as possible for the climate challenges, in addition to the technological and economic challenges of the coming decades. This strategy is part of the European Hydrogen Strategy and is based on four pillars: positioning itself as an import and transit hub of renewable molecules in Europe consolidate our leadership in…
Hydrogen is essential to decarbonizing key parts of the economy. While “green” hydrogen could dominate in the long term, “blue” hydrogen can reduce emissions quickly in the near-term – if policy-makers reward appropriate performance. Estimates of the greenhouse gas impact of “blue” hydrogen span a wide spectrum, primarily driven by assumptions about methane leak rates in the upstream natural gas…
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 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…
