Rolls-Royce launches mtu hydrogen solutions for power generation

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 16, 2021

Rolls-Royce is further developing its mtu gas engine portfolio for power generation and cogeneration to run on hydrogen as a fuel and thus enable a climate-neutral energy supply. Already today, gensets powered by mtu Series 500 and Series 4000 gas engines can be operated with a gas blending of 10% hydrogen.

BASF and RWE proposing 2GW offshore wind farm for green electricity and hydrogen for chemical industry

Green Car Congress

MAY 23, 2021

Markus Krebber (RWE), accompanied by Chairman of the Mining, Chemical and Energy Industries Union (IG BCE) Michael Vassiliadis, presented a project idea that envisions a new 2 GW offshore wind farm in the German North Sea to provide the Ludwigshafen chemical site with green electricity and enable CO 2 -free production of hydrogen.

BMW launching iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 28, 2023

The BMW Group presented the first BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles in a pilot fleet that will go into service this year. This active driving experience will therefore be the first chance for people not involved in the development process to gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer.

HyIron opens direct reduction plant for green iron

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 23, 2023

At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. The first step in the research project is to produce more than one ton of green iron/hour using green hydrogen. Here the hydrogen reacts completely with the oxygen in the iron ore and converts it into elemental iron (direct reduced iron (DRI)).

APEX Group to build electrolysis plant for ArcelorMittal steelworks decarbonization project in Bremen (HyBit)

Green Car Congress

JULY 11, 2022

The project name HyBit stands for “Hydrogen for Bremen’s industrial transformation” and marks the start of the decarbonization of steel production in Bremen, Germany. The APEX Group will be the heart of the project—a 10 MW electrolysis plant for hydrogen production. We will use the first hydrogen in the existing facilities.

German Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek recently unveiled an example of a “hyper hybrid” vehicle powered by synthetic methanol, which is based on “green hydrogen” technologies. But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable.

More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climate protection. Per unit of delivered energy, however, the US electric grid is on average about twice as carbon intensive as gasoline.

Including biofuels under a cap-and-trade scheme could create a more complete carbon management framework for the transportation fuels sector, according to a new peer-reviewed discussion paper by Dr. John DeCicco. Thus, the carbon accounting system under a fossil-based cap alone is incomplete when it comes to biofuels.”.
