UK prospects in hydrogen flight could be delayed by storage challenge | Hydrogen

The UK’s prospects in liquid hydrogen (LH2) aviation could be held back by critical gaps in on-aircraft cryogenic hydrogen fuel storage, a new report from the Aerospace Technology Institute’s Hydrogen Capability Network has warned. The report, which maps out the UK’s cryogenic and hydrogen materials testing landscape, identified a lack of mechanical, thermal, and micro/nano-scale non-destructive testing under hydrogen conditions, which are critical for ensuring the safety and efficiency of LH2-powered aircraft. Currently, only a single mechanical testing capability is being commissioned, at Cranfield University, while other testing areas remain underdeveloped. Testing capabilities exist across several UK academic institutions and research organisations, including the National Physical Laboratory, the University of Oxford, and the UK Atomic Energy Authority. However, capacity remains limited, and expansion is needed to support the UK’s ambitions in zero-emission aviation, the report… Read More »UK prospects in hydrogen flight could be delayed by storage challenge | Hydrogen

India launches hydrogen-fuelled bus and truck trials | Hydrogen

India has launched pilot trials for hydrogen-powered buses and trucks under the country’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, an initiative aimed at scaling up clean energy in transport. The programme will deploy 37 vehicles across 10 key routes over the next 18 months to two years and includes nine hydrogen refuelling stations. The trials involve 15 hydrogen fuel cell and 22 hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles, operating on major corridors such as Delhi–Agra, Pune–Mumbai, and Ahmedabad–Surat. Companies including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Reliance Industries, and Indian Oil Corporation are taking part, with government funding of $25m. “The beginning of this trial is a significant step forward in showcasing the potential of green hydrogen in decarbonising India’s transportation sector,” said Shri Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy. As part of these efforts, automotive giant… Read More »India launches hydrogen-fuelled bus and truck trials | Hydrogen

Blue hydrogen now dominates US investment but doubts linger

Blue hydrogen has emerged in recent months as the dominant investment choice in the US when it comes to hydrogen. Major energy players are prioritising carbon capture-backed hydrogen over its greener cousin. Despite long-term hopes for green hydrogen, 90% of the country’s clean hydrogen projects are now blue, driven by regulatory realities and market constraints, as well as the fossil-first policy of the Trump administration. It is a trend that is explored more fully in the latest gasworld Global magazine, which is out now. By the end of 2025, analysts expect at least three major US blue hydrogen projects to reach final investment decisions FIDs, cementing the country’s role as a global leader in blue. ExxonMobil, Air Products, and Linde are spearheading investments, banking on carbon capture and storage to align hydrogen production with emissions… Read More »Blue hydrogen now dominates US investment but doubts linger

Hydrogen projects work best through partnership, says Fabrum founder | implement dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen systems

The challenge to deliver hydrogen as an energy carrier is often thwarted by its cryogenic value chain, by one New Zealand company says it has found a strong formula for real-world success. Fabrum, based in Christchurch in New Zealand, stands out because its suite of smart technologies is able to work as a package to deliver on real-world projects, and in that sense it is showing others the way ahead. “For some hydrogen projects, we can provide just about everything [in the value chain] – and that is a compelling proposition for our partners,” said Executive Chairman Christopher Boyle. Boyle said hydrogen was not a panacea for all future energy needs, but a great fit for certain applications. … to continue reading you must be subscribed Source link

India poised to launch first hydrogen-powered train | Hydrogen

India’s first hydrogen-fuelled train is set to be launched later this month by the Ministry of Railways, marking a major step in the country’s transition towards cleaner transportation. Manufactured by Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF), the hydrogen train is part of India’s broader push for zero-emission mobility. The Ministry of Railways has allocated Rs 2,800 crore ($337m) in the 2023-24 fiscal year to develop 35 hydrogen fuel cell-based trains as part of its green energy initiatives.   The first train is expected to roll out by March 25, according to U Subba Rao, General Manager at ICF. “We are working on the flagship project for the Hydrogen Fuel Cell train set. Hydrogen fuel cell coaches are currently being produced at ICF,” he stated.   India has also developed what it claims is the world’s most powerful hydrogen… Read More »India poised to launch first hydrogen-powered train | Hydrogen

Major European transport hub orders high-capacity hydrogen station | Hydrogen

France-based hydrogen refuelling specialist HRS has secured a contract to supply a high-capacity hydrogen station capable of compressing four tonnes of hydrogen per day. The order, placed by an unnamed major player in the sector, is expected to support public transport decarbonisation in a major European city. Set to be operational by early 2026, the HRS160 station will be one of the largest hydrogen refuelling infrastructures in Europe. Designed to support continuous daily refuelling, it is slated to feature a compression capacity of 160kg of hydrogen per hour and six distribution terminals. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Swedish pilot proves hydrogen storage can cut cost of fossil-free steelmaking | Hydrogen

HYBRIT, a joint initiative in Sweden by the steelmaker SSAB, mining company LKAB, and energy provider Vattenfall, has successfully completed a hydrogen storage pilot and submitted findings to the Swedish Energy Agency. The results confirm that large-scale, fossil-free hydrogen storage is technically viable and could lower production costs by up to 40%. Launched in 2016, HYBRIT aims to develop the world’s first fossil-free, ore-based steelmaking process using hydrogen. Its latest phase has been focused on hydrogen production and storage to support large-scale industrial operations. Steel production accounts for around 7% to 9% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, largely due to reliance on coal in blast furnaces. Fossil-free hydrogen could eliminate nearly all CO2 emissions from the steelmaking process, potentially cutting over two tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel produced, according to the International… Read More »Swedish pilot proves hydrogen storage can cut cost of fossil-free steelmaking | Hydrogen

Europe unveils carbon labels, PPA investment and hydrogen plans | Europe

Europe has unveiled a raft of measures to boost clean industrial growth Europe has unveiled a raft of measures to boost clean industrial growth The Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act will develop a voluntary label on the carbon intensity of industrial products, the European Commission confirmed today. The announcement, coinciding with the release of the comprehensive Clean Industrial Deal, aims to avoid duplication and will be based on a simple methodology with ETS data and CBAM methodology, and a detailed CBAM review report will be issued in in the second half of the year. In the interests of speed, the Commission will start with steel in 2025. A label for cement will be created under the Construction Products Regulation and a standardisation request will be lodged shortly. Such labels will allow industrial producers to distinguish the… Read More »Europe unveils carbon labels, PPA investment and hydrogen plans | Europe
