Under a Letter of Intent, the aircraft developer, based in the Isle of Wight, will deliver the first twin-engine plane in 2027. “We are fully committed to the Britten-Norman Islander,” claimed Florian Kruse, CEO at Evia Aero, “The aircraft fulfils all the skills we need as an operator for short-haul flights. “It is important to us to use a product that is already in use worldwide and has proven itself. With a revised customised carbon design, we will make the aircraft available to our customers.” William Hynett, Chief Executive at Britten-Norman, added, “The adaptability of the Island aircraft, combined with [...]

Instead, an interview carried out by French media outlet Mobily-Cités with Yannick Monnier, Director of the Belfort Territory Transport Authority, suggested that initial analysis shows the fire was electrically generated, although Monnier added that it was too early to confirm. The Director reaffirmed the effectiveness of hydrogen-powered buses and the safety mechanisms on board. “All the safety systems on the hydrogen buses worked perfectly,” Monnier told the French media. “The flares that fed the fire came from burning plastics and other materials, unrelated to the hydrogen flames, which were quickly dissipated by the safety devices. “This incident will not question [...]

The UK-based construction firm can now sell the engine throughout Europe and has said that they expect other countries to follow suit with certification in 2025. The Netherlands’ vehicle authority RDW was the first to issue an official certification before licensing bodies in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Finland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein followed. © JCB JCB has already produced more than 130 evaluation engines which are powering backhoe loaders, loadall telescopic handlers and generator sets, whilst real-world testing of its equipment at customers’ sites is now at an advanced stage. “This is a very significant moment [...]

Under the agreement signed with Agrobiofert, a Sicilian agricultural company, S.p.A. will provide a 30-foot cabin containing two high-efficiency hydraulic compressors with “three combined compression stages,” designed to reach 450 bar. For the H2Farm project, the compressors will optimise the management of hydrogen produced. The project has been funded by PNRR resources and promoted by the Sicilian Region, with the ultimate goal being to build a 2.5MW plant for green hydrogen production, powered by PV. H2 View understands that delivery of the compressors is scheduled for late summer 2025, in line with the plant’s operational start. “Hydrogen is not only [...]

The Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA) has suggested that the UK government’s GB Energy should invest in inland hydrogen hubs, core industrial clusters, and ports to accelerate hydrogen trade. With the global hydrogen market expected to reach £700bn annually by 2050, HEA has stressed the importance for the UK to capture a 10% share to generate £70bn in revenue, £46bn in GVA, and 410,000 jobs. However, they’ve emphasised the need to act within a 10-year window. This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The funding round, led by existing investors Barclays Principal Investments and SWEN Capital Partners, with additional support from new investors ITOCHU Corporation and Toho Gas, will drive the progress of key projects, such as Pioneer 1 in Wales. Last April the British company announced it would develop a second hydrogen production facility in the UK following a successful first year of operating Pioneer 1. Pioneer 2 will boast a 2.5MW electrolyser and reportedly reduce 156,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Based on a Mercedes Benz Actros chassis, the truck is equipped with a 7.8-litre Deutz six-cylinder in-line engine which, after conversion to hydrogen, generates an output of 210kW. The hydrogen engine has been combined with the Allison 3000 R transmission and zero-emission technology, which reportedly enables optimal integration with several energy sources. With the support of special-purpose vehicle conversion and construction company Paul Nutzfahrzeuge, KEYOU expects the vehicle to go into operation shortly. EP-Trans, located in Regensburg, Germany, has said the truck will serve an international steel group in Bavaria. In an online statement, KEYOU said the truck will offer [...]

Following Mantle Ridge’s proposal, the industrial gas giant was forced to issue a statement rejecting an overhaul in the CEO and Board of Directors. This statement comes just days after Air Products received criticism over its failure to manage an effective CEO succession process. Read more: Air Products faces further pressure from D.E. Shaw over CEO succession The $1.3bn shareholder called for a shake-up after saying the company has “dramatically underperformed over the past five years relative to its peers and its potential, a direct result of the poor stewardship” of Chairman and CEO, Seifi Ghasemi, 80, and the board.

The European country must also secure investments in new electricity generation, reduce grid congestion and manage the transition away from natural gas, which has long been a cornerstone of its energy system, the IEA adds. The Netherlands has set an ambitious target of increasing capacity from 5 GW today to 35 GW by 2035 and 70 GW by 2050, along with a 3-4 GW hydrogen electrolysis capacity target by 2030, and the government has allocated up to €7.5bn in support. “This requires a stable framework for long-term offshore wind development in co-ordination with the build-out of hydrogen production, which will [...]
