Kawasaki’s liquefied hydrogen carrier departs to pick up first cargo

Green Car Congress

Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ Suiso Frontier , the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, has left Japan to pick up its first hydrogen cargo in Australia. The vessel can carry 75 tonnes of liquefied hydrogen in one trip. J-POWER) to form the CO 2 -free Hydrogen Energy Supply-chain Technology Research Association (HySTRA).

Bosch Engineering and Ligier Automotive present Ligier JS2 RH2 with hydrogen engine at Le Mans

Green Car Congress

Just a few months into a joint innovation project ( earlier post ), engineers from Bosch Engineering and Ligier Automotive have built a high-performance vehicle with a hydrogen engine. The demonstrator is based on the Ligier JS2 R race car, which was modified for hydrogen operation.

HYBRIT produces hydrogen-reduced sponge iron on pilot scale

Green Car Congress

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have now produced hydrogen-reduced sponge iron on a pilot scale. The test production was carried out in HYBRIT’s pilot plant in Luleå and shows that it is possible to reduce iron ore with fossil-free hydrogen, instead of removing the oxygen with coal and coke. So far, about 100 tons have been produced.

MAN Cryo first supplier to develop a marine, liquid-hydrogen fuel-gas system

Green Car Congress

MAN Cryo, the wholly owned subsidiary of MAN Energy Solutions, has—in close cooperation with Fjord1 and Multi Maritime in Norway— developed a marine fuel-gas system for liquefied hydrogen. Another design challenge was hydrogen’s explosive nature, with the MAN Cryo engineering team accordingly placing top priority on safety.

Researchers develop earth-abundant photocatalyst for conversion of ammonia into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

and Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment have created a scalable photocatalyst that can convert ammonia into hydrogen fuel. This result demonstrates the potential for highly efficient, electrically driven production of hydrogen from an ammonia carrier with earth-abundant transition metals.

KIT and Wintershall Dea collaborating to develop industrial-scale methane pyrolysis for CO2-free production of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Methane pyrolysis separates methane (CH 4 ) into gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon that is a valuable material for various industry branches and can also be stored safely. Direct thermal cracking of methane and other hydrocarbons is a way to produce hydrogen from natural gas without direct CO 2 emissions. —Prof Wetzel.
