A liquid-hydrogen fuelling system for trucks that includes a “breakthrough” 100kg fuel tank has been unveiled by Chinese state-owned company China Aerospace and Technology Corporation (CASC).
German automaker Daimler has previously road-tested a fully-loaded truck with 80kg of liquid hydrogen stored in onboard tanks, which travelled 1,047km without refuelling.
On the potential for green H2 cost reductions through experience:
"electrolyzers account for only around one third of the cost of green hydrogen. The rest is driven either by the cost of green electricity – already far down its own experience curve – or by the cost of heavy engineering components – stuff like compressors, tanks, valves, pipes, power supplies and site infrastructure, which are not about to fall off a cliff."
The world's first hydrogen gas fuel-cell superyacht, long rumored to have been commissioned by billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, is now officially for sale.
Lowest subsidy of 0,37 €/kg was claimed by #RenGas project in Lahti, #Finland, producing 12kt H2 p.a. and combining with CO2 from nearby bioenergy plant to produce methane for traffic.
The waste heat from the H2/CH4 process is sold as #districtHeat which yields more proceeds (10M€ p.a.) than the subsidy (4M€ p.a.). The 60-90MW electrolyser can also bid in reserve market.
FirstElement Fuels has opened the world’s first large-scale hydrogen fueling station for heavy-duty commercial trucks just outside the Port of Oakland.
RT by @EUClimateAction: The EC 🇪🇺 is awarding nearly €720 million to 7 #RenewableHydrogen projects in Europe, selected through the 1st competitive bidding process under the European #Hydrogen Bank.
Its funding comes from the revenues of the EU Emissions Trading System.
What role can #hydrogen play in accelerating industrial #decarbonisation in Southeast Asia? That’s a question we tried to answer in a new report together with @AgoraEW as part of an ongoing series on hydrogen as a potential clean energy carrier. 1/x
"Government’s hydrogen strategy may sabotage decarbonisation: expert"
A bit old (originally from 2022), but still very valid. #Hopium is the method of choice for the fossils to continue to do what they have been doing all along, and it gets in the way of cleaning up our act for a more sustainable future.
A few short weeks ago, some learned chaps were schooling me on all the reasons hydrogen isn't viable as an energy carrier for vehicles. They obviously forgot to communicate all this to the people actively developing hydrogen infrastructure in Aotearoa.
Don't know how to build your green hydrogen plant; Danish Green Hydrogen Systems will sell you one in the 6 to 50MW range
-Colab with engineering firm BWSC to sell H2 plants, pre-engineered & optimized
-Based on GHS 6MW X-Series plant operating in Denmark
