Keep up to date about the latest hydrogen developments through our news page https://seh2.energy/news/, or explore extensive resources on hydrogen in our library https://lnkd.in/eEdVq_Vf In the news this week— Hyzon and New Way Trucks are teaming up to embark on cross-continental trials to prove the viability of hydrogen-powered technology along with its growing success. Toyota Tsusho Corporation announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Toyota Tsusho Europe S.A., has established a new company, SympH2ony GmbH ("Symphony") with the German company, Messer SE & Co., KgaA ("Messer") to produce and supply green hydrogen and provide fuel cell vehicles in Europe. In an article recently released by Forbes Magazine, they stated that "the U.S. administration is betting that the hydrogen effort will pay off. They are seeding the hydrogen market with truckloads of funding and hoping this will create jobs and demand for hydrogen, and yes, a substantial decline in GHG emissions. Further payoff would be new industries that can scale up enough to reduce costs of business, kind of like happened with wind and solar and batteries." The Buk-gu district in Ulsan, South Korea, has just unveiled plans to create the world's first "hydrogen apartment", with 437 units powered completely by hydrogen fuel cells.

Our website’s News and Resources pages are your go-to sources for the latest updates on Hydrogen! Stay current with our news at https://seh2.energy/news/ and explore additional information on our Resources page at https://lnkd.in/eEdVq_Vf In the news this week: West Virginia has received $30 million to kick off the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2), part of a $925 million Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiative to advance hydrogen technology and boost economic growth. Air Liquide will provide renewable hydrogen for electro-hydrogen generators at the Paris 2024 venues, boosting local electrical capacity and supporting cell phone network operations. The Stargate project has introduced a mobile hydrogen refueling station at an airport, with DHL testing hydrogen fuel cells for cargo transport to evaluate hydrogen’s environmental and operational benefits. The Port of Corpus Christi is strategically positioned to capitalize on the hydrogen market by leveraging its deepwater facilities and involvement in the Horizons Clean Energy Hub, which aims to develop a comprehensive hydrogen value chain and infrastructure by 2030. Hydrogen is vital for the energy transition, offering a solution for decarbonizing challenging sectors like heavy industry and transportation. Increased investment and supportive policies are needed to unlock its full potential alongside other renewable energy sources. Coca-Cola, Toyota, and Air Liquide are testing a hydrogen-fueled long-haul truck to promote sustainable logistics and support carbon reduction and hydrogen technology expansion. Toyota will demonstrate its hydrogen technology at the Paris Games with a fuel-cell bike chilling ice cream and provide 500 Mirai fuel-cell vehicles and 1,000 electric vehicles for the event and future taxis.
