H-TEC SYSTEMS modular hydrogen electrolyzer for large-scale green hydrogen projects of 10 MW upwards

Green Car Congress

Demand for large-scale hydrogen projects from industry is steadily increasing. In response, H-TEC SYSTEMS, a subsidiary of MAN Energy Solutions, has developed a new Modular Hydrogen Platform (MHP)—a scalable system for the industrial production of green hydrogen. It is here that the MHP offers a unique redundancy concept.

Study confirms €1T green hydrogen potential for Africa

Green Car Congress

Africa can produce 50 million tons of green hydrogen a year by 2035, according to a new study by the European Investment Bank (EIB), International Solar Alliance and the African Union, with the support of the Government of Mauritania, HyDeal and UCLG Africa. The report was formally handed over to partners on 20 December.

IISA study proposes using airships for efficient cargo or hydrogen transportation

Green Car Congress

Reintroducing airships into the world’s transportation mix could contribute to lowering the transport sector’s carbon emissions and can play a role in establishing a sustainable hydrogen based economy, according to a new IIASA-led study. Hydrogen is a good energy carrier and a valuable energy storage alternative.

Researchers take first 3D images of microscopic hydrogen-embrittled cracks in metal

Green Car Congress

Microfractures in metal alloys, though impossible to see with the naked eye, can easily spread when exposed to water or hydrogen and lead to major problems in structures such as bridges, electrochemical and nuclear plants and hydrogen storage containers, leading to failures and expensive repairs.

Toyota HiLux hydrogen fuel cell prototype boasts long range and rapid refilling

EV Central

But if using hydrogen fuel cell power it starts to make sense. Enter this intriguing hydrogen fuel cell HiLux prototype, developed by Toyota Manufacturing UK. 2024 hydrogen-powered Toyota Hilux at the company’s UK factory. And this being hydrogen, the only tailpipe emission is pure water. And it’s possible.”

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. Applying the model, they found that the average LCOE associated with meeting this seasonal imbalance is $2400/MWh using a HFGT fueled with green hydrogen and $3000/MWh using a LI.

HZB, 3M team explores water management in PFIA membranes for fuel cells; better performance at higher temps and low humidity

Green Car Congress

A core component of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is the membrane, which allows protons to diffuse selectively towards the cathode while blocking the oxygen and hydrogen gas. Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) teamed up with 3M to explore the water management in PFIA membranes. Credit: Heike Cords/HZB.
