Bombardier (now Alstom) to convert AGC hybrid trains to full battery power

Green Car Congress

One of our first sustainable mobility solutions was a dual-mode Autorail à Grande Capacité (AGC) train, designed and developed by its Crespin site in France; the AGC was the world’s first hybrid train when it entered service in 2007. With 2,473 AGC train cars in operation today, the AGC is the largest regional fleet operated in France.

Australian researchers develop new hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process to produce green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The new production method—demonstrated in a laboratory-based proof of concept—also has the potential to play a role in the global transition towards a hydrogen economy, in which ammonia is seen as a possible solution to the problem of storing and transporting hydrogen energy. —Dr Lovell. —Dr Jalili.

Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

million) ammonia cracker prototype designed to produce green hydrogen at industrial scale. The system will be designed to deliver high-purity hydrogen, suitable for PEM fuel cell use, using FFI’s Metal Membrane Technology (MMT) purification process. The ammonia is stored, before being used for electricity generation.

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The remaining carbon dioxide is stored in the tank and reused in onshore methanol production. In this concept, the ship is refueled with methanol at port. The methanol is mixed with water, then evaporated by applying heat and fed into the preheated reactor, where the mix of methanol and water is converted into hydrogen and CO 2.
