Fleet operators in Seoul and Vienna will use TAM’s new 700-bar hydrogen fuel low-entry city bus for public transport services. The bus model integrates a fuel cell system from Hyundai, hydrogen storage tanks, and a power control system. H2 View understands that TAM Europe currently has an annual production capacity of 500 electric commercial vehicles. Over the next three years, it plans to produce around 100 hydrogen-powered vehicles per year. Before the company went bankrupt in 2011, the Maribor-based manufacturer was one of the country’s largest vehicle producers. It was revived in 2013 after being acquired by China Hi-Tech Group [...]

Announced today (3 November) by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, the programme establishes a certification system to underpin Australia’s clean energy industries. The framework could extend to green metals and low-carbon fuels. The GO scheme is expected to give investors, exporters, and consumers “confidence in the carbon credentials” of Australian-made products. Aligned with global standards, Dr. Fiona Simon, CEO of the Australian Hydrogen Council (AHC), said the scheme signals that the nation is “open for business with a robust methodology.” Administered by the Clean Energy Regulator, two types of certificates can be awarded: Product GO (PGO), which records [...]

Aimed at promoting projects to strengthen the province’s economy and energy security, the government said hydrogen could help better manage peak energy demand through long-duration energy storage, as well as cutting emissions from heavy industries. The previous round awarded funding to 10 projects covering electrolysis, hubs, power plants, refuelling, storage, and blending. However, the new fund, split into two streams, will support the integration of low-carbon hydrogen into Ontario’s electricity grid and hydrogen use in transportation, manufacturing, and heavy industries through hubs. The fund will be administered by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator, with applications due to close on 11 [...]

Policy-supported hydrogen project build-out will deliver more cost benefits in the long-term than incremental equipment price reductions. That was one of the messages from Siemens Energy’s Vice-President of Global Sales for Sustainable Energy Solutions, Manuel Kuehn, in a H2 View webinar, where he said demand creation should be the focus for policymakers.

Linde CEO Sanjiv Lamba warned the economic challenges facing green hydrogen go far beyond electrolyser costs, even as Chinese manufacturers drive down prices. Speaking during the industrial gas major’s Q3 results, Lamba said China’s alkaline electrolyser cost curve has been declining for “some time,” and expects the systems to be a “very good option” for green hydrogen projects.

The Estonian OEM first agreed to supply its Gateway200 module last year. Located near the Loviisa nuclear power plant, the electrolyser will use electricity from the main grid and household water sources to produce green hydrogen. With commissioning set to begin, the project is expected to be operational for around two years. “Our Gateway 1MW system is designed to meet the demands of industrial-scale green hydrogen production and will enable Fortum to harvest the potential of hydrogen,” explained Marko Virkebau, Stargate’s CEO. While the project will be used to gather data on hydrogen production, some of the green hydrogen produced [...]

The loan will help Wabash Valley Resources finance its $2.6bn project in West Terre Haute, reviving a coal gasification facility idled since 2016 to produce 500,000 tonnes of anhydrous ammonia per year through a process equipped with carbon capture technology. Wabash plans to use coal from a nearby mine and petcoke as a feedstock, which will be reacted with oxygen and steam at high temperatures to produce syngas – a combination of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This will be put through a water-gas shift reaction to increase hydrogen yield while generating carbon dioxide. While the hydrogen will be combined with [...]

Hydrogen, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), and bioenergy are set to play only a residual part in cleaning up global emissions, according to research firm Rystad Energy. In a global energy scenario report, it found decarbonising and growing the power sector with nuclear and renewables will account for 52% of reductions and electrification of “almost everything” will provide another 43%.

ProtonH2’s ISHG process stimulates natural hydrogen generation in depleted oil reservoirs. The firm has said this unlocks trapped hydrogen and converts mineral reactions underground into a steady supply of fuel. It involves injecting dioxygen (O2) into oil wells which reacts with hydrocarbons to generate high-concentration hydrogen syngas. Syngas can either be sold or separated into hydrogen for sale. However, the process does produce carbon dioxide (CO2). The company says ISHG “naturally sequesters” 15-20% of the CO2. The firm has been developing Project Apollo, which aims to produce up to 500 tonnes per day of hydrogen from disused oil wells. Frankfurt-based [...]

The SASHA Coalition and ten industry signatories warned that the STIP, part of the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal (CID), must not focus solely on transitional fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and LNG, but also support zero-emission technologies through dedicated hydrogen funding, e-fuel incentives, and stronger refuelling infrastructure. Addressed to the European Commission, the letter states that hydrogen and battery technologies “offer the most sustainable paths for decarbonising short and medium-haul flight and maritime transport.” It added, “Yet these solutions have not received due regulatory support from the Commission as other technologies have. This policy gap has slowed the [...]
