The Hydrogen Stream: MAN Truck to deliver 200 hydrogen vehicles by 2025
MAN Truck & Bus says it will deliver 200 hydrogen vehicles to customers in Europe and some non-European countries by as early as 2025, while Provaris has revealed plans to develop a gaseous hydrogen import facility in Rotterdam.
The role of hydrogen in 2024’s energy landscape
With its versatility and potential for decarbonization, hydrogen is scripting a new chapter in the narrative of clean energy.
Producing hydrogen via microalgae-bacteria coculture
A group of researchers has identified a multispecies bacterial community that could reportedly increase the efficiency of hydrogen generation via microbial metabolism. The proposed hydrogen system achieved a more than double production rate compared to common biological hydrogen production technologies.
India’s green hydrogen push presents a $125 billion investment opportunity by 2030: Avendus Capital
Avendus Capital’s latest report on green hydrogen estimates cumulative investments of $125 billion by 2030, across the value chain spanning electrolyzer production, renewable energy generation, and green hydrogen and green ammonia production in India.
The Hydrogen Stream: Companies to close 3 hydrogen stations in Germany
H2 Mobility’s live map has reported the planned closure of at least three hydrogen filling stations throughout Germany in the coming months, while the Japanese government has revealed plans to support the development of low-carbon aviation solutions, including hydrogen-combustion engines.
India, Saudi Arabia and UAE top in green hydrogen competitiveness
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) tops in green hydrogen competitiveness with the world’s lowest levelized cost of hydrogen (LCoH) of $2.7/kg in 2023 and a projected $1.7/kg in 2030. It is followed by Saudi Arabia and India, which could produce green hydrogen at $2.9-$3.2/kg in 2023 and $1.8/kg in 2030.
Sterling Generators, Tecnicas Reunidas to jointly develop electrolyzers for green hydrogen production
India’s Sterling Generators and Spain’s Tecnicas Reunidas have signed an agreement to jointly develop electrolyzers for green hydrogen production in India.
Electrolyzer prices – what to expect
In addition to the cost of electricity, the price of hydrogen depends largely on the up-front investment cost of the electrolyzer. The lower the full-load hours, the greater the impact. Analyst BloombergNEF (BNEF) sees a number of different possible pathways for the market to develop.
The hydrogen stream: Tata Cummins arm inaugurates hydrogen-based internal combustion engine manufacturing facility
TCPL Green Energy Solutions has inaugurated a new manufacturing facility to produce hydrogen-based internal combustion engines for medium and heavy commercial vehicles.
MNRE issues guidelines for setting up green hydrogen hubs in India
Under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, at least two green hydrogen hubs will be set up by FY 2025-26 with central financial assistance of INR 200 crore for creating the core infrastructure. Each of the hubs will have a production capacity of at least 100,000 mtpa.
