At its Nordhorn site in Lower Saxony, Nowega has begun filling a section of the pipeline between Lingen and Bad Bentheim, starting with 28,500 cubic metres of hydrogen reportedly at 3 bar — an amount H2 View estimates to exceed 7.5 tonnes. The relatively low pressure suggests this is part of the initial filling or [...]

Agreed with a “major North American partner,” Element 1 has granted exclusive L18-PSA generator distribution rights to the buyer within these countries. Element 1 will manufacture the units at its Bend, Oregon, facility in the US. As a derivative of its standard L18 high-purity hydrogen generator, the L18-PSA system is a portable unit that produces [...]

The project was being led by two consortiums, with J-Power and Sumitomo Corporation planning to produce up to 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year from Latrobe Valley coal with carbon capture in the Bass Strait. KHI and Iwatani’s Susio Energy would purchase the hydrogen and handle liquefaction at Hastings before exporting to Japan. The Japanese [...]

Launched in 2022, the initiative was designed to decarbonise the heavy transport sector by adopting hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles and refuelling infrastructure along key freight routes. Ahead of this year’s federal election, the Labor Government has reportedly reallocated funding from the Hydrogen Highways programme to support other transport decarbonisation priorities. Since its launch in 2022, [...]

Under the agreement, the pair will explore each other’s technologies, exchange knowledge on using green hydrogen in transport, develop pathways for green hydrogen-based operations, and assess green fuel supply chains. DB has already taken steps to introduce hydrogen vehicles into its fleets. In 2023, it signed a €40m framework agreement with CaetanoBus to deliver 60 [...]

Funded through HyCentA’s Comet programme and backed by several Austrian federal ministries, the two companies aim to optimise performance, efficiency and lifetime in hydrogen technologies. AVL and HyCentA will support hydrogen tech through new electrolyser test methods, precise monitoring tools, material compatibility studies, and AI-driven simulations. They will also develop standards to support safe and [...]

Renewable hydrogen has ‘little-to-no industry-wide driver in the near term’ for the heating, rail and road transport sectors, according to a study from Aurora Energy Research. Analysing different demand scenarios across Germany, Spain, Sweden and the UK, Aurora found that strict mandates and penalties are set to drive uptake in green hydrogen, particularly in the [...]

The plant at Asahi India Glass’ (AIS) facility in Soniyana can currently produce 95 tonnes of hydrogen per year – which will be used as a process gas in AIS’ float glass production under a 20-year offtake agreement. Hydrogen is used to provide an atmosphere of 5-10% in nitrogen for float glass processes. Once at [...]

The Robert Bosch subsidiary has modified a 1.4 litre Rotax 91 gasoline engine, which is used in a range of light aircraft, to reportedly optimise time, money and simplify regulatory approval. Over the course of four months, Bosch has adapted the engine to run on hydrogen and tested it on an engine bench. In an [...]

Weak domestic demand threatens the US’ clean hydrogen leadership despite $90bn in planned investments and strong supply-side incentives, according to a new report by RMI. The Hydrogen: Made in America, for America report, says just 10% of the 17 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) US hydrogen project pipeline has reached final investment decision (FID), despite [...]
