TNO joins H2-Share project to build and demo 27t hydrogen fuel cell truck and mobile refueler

Green Car Congress

The project aims to build and demonstrate a 27-ton rigid hydrogen fuel cell truck along with a mobile refueler. Heavy-duty distribution vehicles with a fuel cell range extender—while not yet commercially available in the EU—are demonstrated in H2-Share and their potential is assessed in this project by TNO.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

Biocrudes from three representative feedstocks—Spirulina (micro-algae), sewage sludge, and wheat straw—were further upgraded to a mixture of hydrocarbon fuels at Aalborg University (Denmark). Analyses of the kerosene fractions of the upgraded biocrude show promising compositions for a use as aviation fuel.

Topsoe to build world’s largest SOEC electrolyzer production facility; 500 MW scalable to 5 GW; focusing on Power-to-X

Green Car Congress

To produce hydrogen, it utilizes electricity to split water molecules (H 2 O) into hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ). The cathode splits water molecules, via reduction, into hydrogen and oxide ions, after which the oxide ions are transported through the electrolyte to the anode and oxidized into oxygen.

EDF launches subsidiary Hynamics to produce and to market low-carbon hydrogen

Green Car Congress

95% of hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels. Unlike this method, Hynamics has opted for water electrolysis to produce its hydrogen, a technology that does not emit very much CO 2 at all, as long as the electricity used itself comes from low-carbon production methods.
