A study published in “nature energy” concludes that without political backing from European countries, green hydrogen from Africa will not be economically competitive by 2030. Only a few locations could become competitive through targeted de-risking.
Ballard Power Systems is supplying 32 fuel cell modules with a total output of 6.4 megawatts to eCap Marine. The modules are intended to power two zero-emission container ships operated by Samskip, which will run between Norway and the Netherlands.
The Swiss airline SWISS has used solar fuel from the cleantech company Synhelion for the first time in regular flight operations. The delivery marks a technological milestone for the decarbonization of aviation.
At the Potsdam Science Park, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP) is working together with the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg on a new generation of bio-based carbon fibers. These are also intended for future use in fuel cells and hydrogen tanks.
In the Formula Student Austria design competition, hydrogen vehicles will compete against conventional drives for the first time in 2025. Two teams are using the new regulation, which is intended to strengthen the focus on alternative drives and CO₂ reduction.
The French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has successfully tested the combustion of green hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas in industrial applications for the first time. The company also delivered green hydrogen to Spain for the first time.
HIF Global delivers e-gasoline from Chile to Shell in Hamburg, where it is processed for Porsche events. The agreement aims to demonstrate the everyday practicality of synthetic fuels in combustion engines.
The HyDresden initiative is calling for electrolysis and green hydrogen to be anchored as eligible infrastructure projects within the planned €500 billion special fund. Linde Engineering, Sunfire, and the Fraunhofer IKTS aim to establish Dresden as an international hydrogen hub and to expand domestic value creation.
