FuelCell Energy Earns Top Product of the Year Award for its Trigeneration Platform from Environment + Energy Leader
Understanding Hydrogen Leakage Today and Tomorrow
As hydrogen continues scaling up, all stakeholders must examine the potential benefits and concerns to ensure we deliver on the climate promise hydrogen offers. Achieving net zero will be a long process that will present numerous challenges. What will be important is taking a solutions-focused approach that accurately captures those challenges and brings together academics, industry, government, and stakeholder groups to effectively address them by leveraging the best technology and regulatory framework.

Nikola Announces Locations of Three California Hydrogen Dispensing Stations, Continued Scaling of 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 support truck demand, plans for additional stations are in progress and will be announced in the near future.
Hyundai Motor’s XCIENT Fuel Cell Heavy-Duty Trucks to Hit German Roads
Seven German companies in logistics, manufacturing and retail will put 27 XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks into fleet service with funding for eco-friendly commercial vehicles from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).
Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Swiss company H2 Energy, has also established Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility Germany GmbH (HHMG) to actively expand its entry into the hydrogen-powered commercial vehicle market in Germany. In order to establish a hydrogen ecosystem in the country, HHMG will operate local market sales and customer service as well as upfitter management in the market. HHMG also plans to actively participate in the second funding program.
Williams Invests in Technology to Generate Zero-Emission Hydrogen with Natural Gas
Williams today announced a direct investment in Aurora Hydrogen, a company developing technology that converts natural gas to hydrogen with zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Aurora Hydrogen’s technology uses microwave energy to convert methane to hydrogen and solid carbon without generating CO2. Williams’ investment will support scaling production to 200 kg of hydrogen per day, with the development of a demonstration plant by 2023. Williams was joined by Energy Innovation Capital (EIC), Chevron Technology Ventures, Shell Ventures and the George Kaiser Family Foundation in the investment in Aurora Hydrogen.

Toshiba Commissions PV-powered Hydrogen Refueling Station in Japan
H2One ST unit uses the sun as its energy source. It consists of a solar PV generation unit, hydrogen and water storage tanks, a water electrolysis unit, a storage battery unit, and a pure hydrogen fuel cell unit.
The plant gets its power supply from a solar generation of 20MW capacity and grid power. Power generated from solar energy is stored in the battery. When the need arises, water electrolysis takes place to produce hydrogen in a carbon-free setting. The hydrogen is then stored in a tank which delivers it to the fuel cells.

Falls firms awarded low-cost power for expansion projects
Linde was awarded a 22-MW hydropower allocation for a $75 million expansion project to further advance the firm’s production of green hydrogen. The power authority said the project is expected to create 11 new, full-time, permanent positions while retaining 81 existing jobs.
Linde’s application was also considered under the Power Authority’s green jobs evaluation criteria and supports the goals of New York’s Climate Act, according to the power authority. Linde’s expansion also furthers New York State’s Regional Clean Energy Hydrogen Hub ambitions, officials said.
Could hydrogen-fuelled flights be a reality by 2035?
A new report by the World Economic Forum and University of Cambridge’s Aviation Impact Accelerator explores how aviation can achieve a true zero climate impact.
Industry leaders are optimistic about how alternative propulsion technology, particularly hydrogen, could address aviation's climate impact in the future.
By 2035, hydrogen fuel cells could be used to electrify mid-range flights and hydrogen combustion aircraft could be used on long-haul flights.

Industry reacts to clean hydrogen tax credits in the US Tax and Climate Bill
Following Thursday’s (July 28) surprise $369bn climate and tax package from the US Senate, hydrogen industry players have offered their reaction to the Bill which offers a $3 per kg tax credit for clean produced hydrogen, and further credits for hydrogen fuel cell-electric vehicles.
Jason Few, CEO of FuelCell Energy, based in Connecticut, US, said in part of a statement, “Strong policy direction from the federal government provides the private sector important market certainty to confidently invest our shareholders capital and expand operations.
Washington: DOUGLAS PUD MOVING FORWARD TO BUILD HYDROGEN PLANT
It'll also serve to absorb much of the stress that leads to wear and tear at its river dam known as the Wells Hydroelectric Project.
Meaghan Vibbert with the PUD says the hydrogen plant will take in constant signals that now go to big mechanical equipment at the dam that has to instantly adjust to fluctuations in the regional power grid.
"The idea is to increase our efficiencies and decrease our maintenance necessary on those big units by doing all of the fluctuations there at the hydrogen plant rather than the hydroelectric project," said Vibbert.
