The U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) has granted research funds to the MIT Energy Initiative, CORE POWER, and the Idaho National Laboratory for a three-year study into the development of offshore floating nuclear power generation in the US.
Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts with air to acquire a coating of aluminum oxide, which blocks further reactions.
The Biden administration is awarding a $50 million grant to a New Orleans-led initiative to turn south Louisiana into a hub of “green hydrogen” activity.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking applications for projects in “Nuclear Coupled Hydrogen Production and Use.” This just-announced amendment to a funding opportunity aims to support the development of nuclear plant thermal integration that would be required for high-temperature hydrogen production or hydrogen-coupled end uses for nuclear energy. This amendment was issued by the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy Light Water Sustainability Program, in coordination with DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office.
In research that could jump-start work on a range of technologies including fuel cells, which are key to storing solar and wind energy, MIT researchers have found a relatively simple way to increase the lifetimes of these devices: changing the pH of the system.
PHOENIX — Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy infrastructure solutions, today announced that the European Nikola Tre fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) beta version will be unveiled in a September 19 press conference at IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany with partner IVECO, the commercial vehicle brand of Iveco Group (MI: IVG).

PASADENA, Calif. — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) today announced the opening of the Innovative Small E-Fleet (ISEF) $25 million set-aside within the state’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP).
Myriad new tax credits make the USA one of the world’s most promising markets for electrolyser and hydrogen-fuelling technology – and set the country on course to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% compared to 2005 levels.
HOUSTON — McDermott International has been selected by Tata Steel IJmuiden B.V. to be part of an Integrated Project Management Team (IPMT) to shape and manage the execution of project Heracless (hydrogen era, carbonless). The project is located at Tata Steel’s facilities in IJmuiden, 19 miles (30 kilometers) east of Amsterdam.
