Monica NAGASHIMA — Ifri Studies, October 2018 With the release of its hydrogen strategy on December 26, 2017, Japan reiterated its commitment to become the world's first “hydrogen society”. The main objective of this strategy is to lower hydrogen production costs so that they are comparable to those of competing fuels: gasoline in transport and liquefied…
34 hydrogen fuel cell buses are already running in various states including California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio. An additional 37 fuel cell buses are planned to be on the roads soon. Source: DOE and NREL
A new study published in Nature Communications presents a breakthrough toward understanding the mechanism of splitting water. Researchers led by Dr. Arik Yochelis and Dr. Iris Visoly-Fisher of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Technion, have cracked the chemical mechanism that occurs during the photochemical splitting of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) over iron-oxide photo-electrodes. The discovery, they say, could have a significant impact…
New Zealand freight and logistics company TIL Logistics Group Limited (NZX: TLL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with New Plymouth-based Hiringa Energy Limited to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology transport solutions in New Zealand. The project has the potential to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from TIL’s national fleet of 900 trucks, 310 forklifts…
In October 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) launched an interactive Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Career Map. This tool will allow users of all ages to discover traditional and non-traditional career opportunities in the hydrogen and fuel cells industry. The tool also promotes workforce development in the science, technology, engineering, and…
An EU initiative will facilitate the production, storage and supply of hydrogen for a wide range of end users. It will help integrate green power into the energy system in a flexible way. With increased efforts to cut carbon emissions, electric power from renewables has emerged as a vital energy source. Thanks to its strong…
New Zealand and Japan are working together to transition away from a reliance on fossil fuels with the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation on hydrogen, says Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods. The cooperation agreement between New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was signed…
New research from Hyundai has found that nearly one in five Brits worry about air pollution daily, with biggest fears focussed on the effect it’s having on our own health, our children’s and the environment As part of Clean Driving™ Month and to launch its next generation Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, the NEXO, Hyundai…
The industry has been traditionally deploying platinum alloys as catalysts for oxygen reduction, which is for example essential in fuel cells or metal-air batteries. Expensive and rare, that metal imposes strict restrictions on manufacture. Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung have discovered an alloy made up of five elements that is noble…
