EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

RWE's FUREC project, which aims to produce circular and green hydrogen from non-recyclable municipal solid waste in Limburg, the Netherlands, received a €108-million grant from the EU’s Innovation Fund. For comparison: This is equivalent to the output of a 700-megawatt offshore wind farm with coupled electrolyzers.

NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

Battery electric trucks should be the baseline for hydrogen fuel cells electric vehicle (HFCEV) comparisons, rather than any internal combustion engine alternative. The future acceleration of HFCEVs is likely not about the vehicles and fueling but resides mostly on the creation and distribution of the hydrogen itself.??.

Drive System Design presents design methodology for accommodating future uncertainty in EV powertrain design: ePOP

Green Car Congress

The paper will illustrate how, using the method developed at DSD, future EV powertrains can be better optimized and protected against uncertain global trends in technology development and commodity prices. Our system approach to the design of EV powertrains helps to future-proof them against the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Promising results for low-pressure casting of aluminum bolts

Green Car Congress

It has been conducting comparisons to identify optimal alloy compositions and looking into what changes need to be made to the production process. The aim of the HyForge project is to demonstrate, and establish confidence in the fact, that the use of cast bolts is the best way of producing suspension components in the future.
