Hydrogen taxis could be the next big thing
On top of adopting a national strategy for decarbonised hydrogen, France recently passed a law making it mandatory to renew fleets of more than 100 units with a quota of low-emission vehicles. This equates to 10% of the fleet by 2025 and 35% by 2029 – whether electric or hydrogen. Taxi and chauffeur-driven vehicles are particularly targeted.

IPCC Report Highlights Hydrogen's Critical Role in Fight Against Climate Change
The IPCC highlights low-emission hydrogen as one of the key technologies that the world must urgently invest in to address the effects of climate change. It also underlines the critical importance of cutting emissions in sectors that aren’t easily electrified, such as industrial manufacturing and related processes. "This sector accounts for about a quarter of global emissions,” the report says. "Achieving net zero will be challenging and will require new production processes, low and zero emissions electricity, hydrogen, and, where necessary, carbon capture and storage.”

8,000% growth | 'More than 100GW of hydrogen electrolysers to be produced annually by 2031'
The annual manufacturing capacity will grow from about 1.3GW at the end of this year to 104.6GW by 2031 — an increase of almost 8,000%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 62.6%, the US-based company says in its study, Market Data: Electrolyzers.
Reversible fuel cells can support grid economically, Stanford researcher finds
In a new study published in Nature Communications, the researchers report that reversible fuel cells can be an economically viable source of backup electricity during periods of surging prices, such as Texas experienced in 2021 when winter storms knocked out power plants fueled by natural gas. By being able to switch directions, the study finds, the entire system can run closer to full capacity. That reduces the cost of producing both carbon-free hydrogen and carbon-free electricity.

Plug Supplies Walmart with Green Hydrogen to Fuel Retailer's Fleet of Material Handling Lift Trucks
Plug Power Inc. today announced an agreement with Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) for an option to deliver up to 20 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen to power material handling lift trucks across Walmart distribution and fulfillment centers in the U.S., marking an additional step the retailer is taking to incorporate alternative zero-carbon energy sources throughout Walmart’s supply chain. This is one of the first green hydrogen supply contracts for Plug, validating the company’s multi-year investment in its green hydrogen network.

In focus: Hydrogen – driving the green revolution
The European Green Deal combines the twin effort of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and preparing Europe’s industry for a climate-neutral economy. Within this framework, hydrogen has been singled out as central for addressing both issues and for evolving our energy systems.
SunLine takes the wheel on clean energy
With additional arrivals of New Flyer Xcelsior hydrogen fuel cell buses in the past year, SunLine’s fleet now incorporates 21 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and five more are scheduled for delivery in Summer 2022. These deliveries will keep the agency on track to be fully transitioned to zero-emission by 2035 – five years ahead of the 2040 deadline set in the California’s ICT Regulation (2040). In addition, the fleet incorporates four battery electric buses and 60 CNG buses.
Game Changers in Hydrogen Fueling
Unlike typical liquid hydrogen fueling systems, where the liquid pump is located outside of the storage tank, the NICE system features a unique design that places a submerged pump in the liquid fuel storage tank. The refueling system delivers liquid hydrogen to a dispensing control loop that vaporizes the liquid into a gas and compresses it to 450 bar pressure (6,500 psi) at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Centigrade. This enables the NICE system to eliminate the use of costly pre-cooling systems and gaseous buffer storage; the pumps can send fuel directly to the dispensers and the buses. There is also the added benefit of significant reductions in boiloff and subsequent venting of gas into the atmosphere.
