Bosch reveals new electrification, fuel cell solutions
At the 2022 North American International Auto Show (aka Detroit Auto Show), Bosch presented a number of solutions to support customers in electrification. A key part of the Bosch electrification portfolio is the eAxle. The eAxle city is a compact, light, and efficient drive solution where the electric motor, inverter and transmission are combined in one system
Quantron unveils hydrogen-electric truck with 930-mile range
At this year’s IAA Transportation show, Quantron presented a number of long-range, FCEV trucks. As part of a strategic partnership, Quantron has developed an FCEV Heavy Duty Truck together with Ballard Power Systems. The Quantron QHM FCEV uses a FCmove-XD 120 kW fuel cell newly developed by Ballard as well as an integrated eGen Power
Cummins unveils new zero-emissions power solutions
Cummins Inc. recently showcased a range of new technologies and the recently acquired Meritor ePowertrain technologies, which are available publicly, together, for the first time. One of these zero-emissions products is the company’s fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell engine. Designed to meet the duty-cycle, performance and packaging requirements of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, the
Are hydrogen vehicles worth the cost of hydrogen?
You don’t see many hydrogen-powered vehicles out there. But, if it can be produced cheaply, hydrogen’s stock will rise.
Hydrogen-powered trains begin German passenger service
Alstom has announced that the world’s first hydrogen train, the Coradia iLint, is now being used on the world premiere 100% hydrogen train route in Bremervörde, Lower Saxony, Germany, in passenger operation. This regional train emits only steam and condensed water while operating with a low level of noise. The 14 vehicles with fuel cell
Toyota partners to advance megawatt-scale fuel cell systems
Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to build, install and evaluate a 1-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell power generation system at NREL’s Flatirons Campus in Arvada, Colorado. This three-year, $6.5 million collaboration is funded in part by DOE’s Hydrogen
Blue hydrogen not a low-cost solution to high gas prices
Blue hydrogen (hydrogen produced from natural gas and supported by carbon capture and storage) is not a low-cost solution in the ongoing gas price crisis, with the projected cost of production now 36% higher than the UK government estimated in 2021, a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) finds.
Nikola announces three California hydrogen stations
Nikola Corporation says three of its California hydrogen stations will scale up its long-term hydrogen distribution solutions. Nikola says its integrated energy and zero-emissions truck portfolio will be underpinned by developing hydrogen supply and refueling infrastructure. The three California refueling stations and logistics infrastructure will be located in the cities of Colton, Ontario and a location servicing the Port of Long Beach. To further
For the first time, a gas turbine is powered by pure hydrogen
Researchers at the University of Stavanger (UiS) say they have managed to run a gas turbine on 100% hydrogen. UiS operates a micro gas plant in southwest Norway. The gas turbine produces both heat and electricity. It also supplies hot water for heating the laboratory buildings in the immediate area. In addition, surplus energy is
Hyzon working to decarbonize oil, gas field operations
Hyzon Motors says it is teaming up with Schlumberger Limited to reduce emissions in upstream oil & gas operations with power generated by its heavy-duty fuel cell systems. Hyzon announced a joint development agreement (JDA) with Schlumberger, a provider of technology to the global energy industry. Under the JDA, Hyzon says it will utilize its
H2 fueling station market to generate $9 billion over 15 years
As the sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles accelerate, the deployment of fueling stations for these vehicles is poised to generate $9 billion in revenue by 2036, according to a study released by Information Trends. The biggest chunk of the revenue will come from the Asia-Pacific region followed by Europe. The costs of hydrogen stations
Tech breakthrough could lead to cheaper, safer hydrogen
Australian researchers at Deakin University say they have made a breakthrough that could help address one of the biggest barriers preventing the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy: safe storage and transport. Hydrogen is increasingly being touted as one sustainable solution to the world’s gas crisis. But, finding a material that can store enormous quantities of
