The car, which has been acquired with support from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV), Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2 ME) and the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCHJU), will help support research into the potential of hydrogen as a future source of clean and sustainable energy.
The solar researchers of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) will in the future be driving on the road with hydrogen propulsion. This is made possible by a new Toyota Mirai with fuel cell technology. The place of handover of the vehicle from Toyota Deutschland to the DLR Institute for Solar Research was the Synlight facility. In the world’s largest facility for experiments with artificial sunlight, the institute develops and tests processes for the production of hydrogen from solar energy and water.
HIGHLIGHTS
A Shorten Labor Government will invest $1.14 billion in a National Hydrogen Plan to make Australia a world leader in the burgeoning hydrogen industry – boosting jobs, exports, fuel security and reducing pollution in our energy, transport and industrial sectors.
Coradia iLint Roadshow showcases ready-to-use hydrogen technology in Germany
23 January 2019 – From late January to mid-February 2019, Alstom’s Coradia iLint is on tour in Germany. The hydrogen-fuel cell train is the first of its kind in the world. Alstom presents its ready-to-use hydrogen technology in six federal states, demonstrating an emission-free alternative for non-electrified lines. The roadshow will start in Rhineland-Palatinate and continue in Baden-Württemberg, Saxony, Thuringia, Berlin and Brandenburg.
