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 [...]

In a $6m deal with Collins Aerospace, Nel will deliver the stacks over several years, beginning in late 2025. The electrolyser solutions will be supplied from its Wallingford, Connecticut facility in the US. The agreement builds on Nel’s relationship with Collins Aerospace. In 2020, the Norwegian company agreed to an initial $5.4m deal with the [...]

In 2023, Milton was found guilty of lying to investors about Nikola’s technology and sentenced to four years in prison. “Today I was issued a full and unconditional pardon by Donald Trump himself,” Milton said in an Instagram post. “He called me personally to tell me.” As of publication, no evidence of the pardon has [...]

Dubbed KM Comp-H2, the compressor reportedly increases the pressure of refrigerant hydrogen gas to improve efficiencies in the liquefaction process, which could reduce hydrogen supply costs. Kawasaki has implemented an impeller designed to spin at ultra-high speeds, enabling it to compress hydrogen more effectively. The company stated that the Japanese demonstration facility will be completed [...]

Conflux Technology’s heat transfer technology will cool hydrogen fuel cells used to power electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, Vertiia, which can reportedly cruise at speeds of 300km/h. “In Vertiia, we are building a hydrogen-electric aircraft that flies record-breaking distances at Formula 1 speeds,” Chris Smallhorn, Asml Aero Chairman said. The project has completed [...]

US carbon capture tax incentives could hand blue hydrogen producers millions in subsidies with no net cut to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to a new Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) report. IEEFA labelled the current 45Q incentive structure a “lose-lose” for taxpayers and the environment, warning that it could “cost billions [...]
