LONDON — Yocova, an end-to-end platform for innovation in aviation, reveals the latest news regarding emissions research.

The road to hydrogen-powered aircraft requires many technology bricks, and as Airbus focuses on the 2035 deadline for its ZEROe hydrogen project, a key brick is researching in detail the emissions from hydrogen combustion at altitude. To that end, as an early-stage project, Airbus is launching Blue Condor, a pair of propelled gliders that will conduct research in 2023.

A hydrogen filling station for heavy vehicles is being planned at the Port of Gothenburg. The filling station will be right next to the entrance of the Gothenburg RoRo Terminal – one of the places in Sweden most intensively used by trucks. The station will supply green hydrogen only and is set to be completed in September 2023.

• Partnership to focus on green hydrogen projects at Shell and its customers.
• Companies to work together to speed up energy transition.
• Holland Hydrogen 1 project in Rotterdam key milestone in partnership to advance green hydrogen.

• Agreement brings together ZF’s electric driveline leadership with Freudenberg’s fuel cell expertise to develop harmonized systems that seamlessly integrate fuel cells and electric drives.
• The partners will develop drivetrain technologies initially for trucks, buses and coaches with wider plans for the off-road sector.
• First joint fuel cell e-drive solution prototype expected by 2023.

• Westwood’s intelligence solution for energy transition stakeholders, Atlas New Energies, launches today, revealing that blue hydrogen is the key to driving development of hydrogen and CCS clusters.

Aberdeen, UK: Latest analysis from Westwood Global Energy Group (Westwood), the specialist energy market research and consultancy firm, reveals that blue hydrogen projects account for over 16 GW of total announced hydrogen capacity in the UK and Norway, equivalent to approximately 90% of the hydrogen projects total for the same region. The UK alone accounts for 13GW capacity.

ULEMCo, the hydrogen fuel pioneer, has completed its first hydrogen dual-fuel conversion in which HVO is used on the vehicle rather than diesel. The waste collection truck for Keenan Recycling gives the opportunity to show best in class “environmental sustainability” by combining the use of hydrogen to reduce tailpipe emissions with the “drop in” renewable fuel.

Following the plenary vote on the Renewable Energy Directive II (REDII), Hydrogen Europe wholeheartedly welcomes the historical European Parliament (EP) decision to commit to ambitious binding renewable targets and to simplify the regulatory framework. The Parliament has made a commitment to an overall renewable energy contribution of 45% to the total energy mix by 2030, something which Hydrogen Europe, together with other stakeholders, has always supported.

• Topsoe and First Ammonia signed a 5GW launch company agreement for the reservation of first-of-a-kind, industrial-scale, solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) to produce green ammonia, a fuel for transportation, power storage and generation, and fertilizer.
• This is shaping up to be the largest agreement in the world, to date, for any type of electrolyzer and will displace almost 5 BCM of natural gas and eliminate 13 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
• The first 500 MW of capacity will be installed in the world’s first commercial-scale green ammonia plants at sites in Northern Germany and Southwestern United States.

Herning, Denmark – Everfuel has opened a new hydrogen refuelling station at Alnabru in Oslo, Norway. The station supports Everfuel’s ambition of rolling out a hydrogen infrastructure across Northern Europe.
