The fuel that could transform shipping
The shipping industry currently emits 3% of all greenhouse gases. To keep temperatures within safe limits, experts say, it will have to decarbonise. Could green hydrogen be the answer? A long a stretch of river in northern Belgium, a small ferry is running on a…
Green Hydrogen: Could It Be Key to a Carbon-Free Economy?
Green hydrogen, which uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen from water, is taking off around the globe. Its boosters say the fuel could play an important role in decarbonizing hard-to-electrify sectors of the economy, such as long-haul trucking, aviation, and heavy manufacturing. Saudi Arabia is…
Be water: Japan’s big, lonely bet on hydrogen
The revolutionary fuel is costly — and key to slowing climate change. Will it pay off? TOKYO — While it looks like any other filling station in Japan, the Iwatani Hydrogen Rαefueling Station in the Shibakoen neighborhood of Tokyo is distinguished by three things: the…
Toyota Mirai Will Help Yanmar Create A Fuel Cell Boat By Late 2020
The boat will have fuel cells and hydrogen tanks supplied by Toyota. While electric cars increase their market share regularly, we can’t say the same about FCEVs. Their use depends on a hydrogen network, which is not created because there is not enough demand for that….
Hyzon Motors Unveils Fuel Cell Stack With Highest Power Density: 6 KW/L
TÜV Rheinland certified that number, which is almost double what other fuel cell stacks achieve. Allowing transportation to achieve zero CO2 emissions will not be something batteries alone will handle. Unless a new technology makes that feasible it is more likely that we will see…
TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORLD’S 1ST HYDROGEN-POWERED CRUISE SHIP
With the developments and innovations that are taking place in the shipping industry, caution must be taken to care for the marine population that is being subjected to the adverse effects of shipping. Harmful emissions and waste materials that are discharged every time ships set…
Germany and hydrogen — €9 billion to spend as strategy is revealed
As part of its stimulus package, Germany intends to expand the role of green hydrogen to help end the country’s reliance on coal. The government agreed on a plan on how to spend the €9 billion earmarked for the project. Hydrogen, the universe’s most abundant…
Ferguson Marine to develop world-first renewables-powered hydrogen ferry
Port Glasgow-based shipbuilder Ferguson Marine has successfully led a European consortium in a bid for EU funding support for the building and launch of the world’s first sea-going car and passenger ferry fuelled by hydrogen. The supported development of the HySeas III ROPAX ferry is…
Alternatives Energies associated with the experimentation of the first hydrogen passenger ship
With its partners Michelin Research and Technologies, HP Systems, University of Technology Belfort Montbéliard and EVE System, Alternatives Energies this week launched the first experiment of a hydrogen propulsion on a passenger ship in La Rochelle. Named Galileo, the ship is part of the YéloH2…
