Start-up #hydrogen #heating technology company HYTING has announced FLUSYS GmbH as its first customer. HYTING describes its innovative system as a simple, safe, efficient, and clean way to generate heat directly from hydrogen, without combustion. The start-up has developed a forced-air heating system (patents-pending) that uses a unique catalytic process to convert hydrogen and oxygen from the air into heat, producing no CO₂, NOx, or particulate emissions – its only by-product is water. Furthermore, the system does not use flammable concentrations of hydrogen at any point. The technology is not only innovative but also robust and cost-effective, as it incorporates many proven components from the heating and automotive industries. It features a modular, highly scalable design with outputs ranging from 10 to 300 kW, making it suitable for various heating applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential buildings (both new and retrofits), agricultural greenhouses, portable heating units, and heating systems for commercial vehicles. Installation and commissioning are scheduled for early 2025 at Flusys’s newly established precision pump production facility in Offenbach, #Germany. The 1,000-m³ production space will be heated using hydrogen supplied by a nearby provider. Read the full story 👇

"The testing phase using the hydrogen energy mix is progressing well, with no impact on the quality of the glass or the furnace." Ardagh Group https://lnkd.in/eWrNDnPY

Ardagh Glass has produced green #hydrogen at its facility in Limmared, Sweden for use in #glass manufacturing Ardagh Group produced the green hydrogen via an electrolyser at the manufacturing facility. The 5MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen electrolyser uses #renewable electricity to split #water into hydrogen and #oxygen and supply hydrogen to the energy mix in the furnace. Since testing of the #electrolyser began in October, the furnace has combusted 109,000m3 of hydrogen produced on site, saving 70 tonnes of CO2. Daniel Johansson, Project Manager, AGP-Europe said: “The testing phase using the hydrogen #energy mix is progressing well, with no impact on the quality of the glass or the furnace. “Our target is to replace 20% of the natural #gas in the furnace with #green hydrogen, which will reduce carbon emissions from our glass #packaging produced in Limmared.” This partly hydrogen-fired glass furnace follows the launch of AGP’s flagship NextGen Furnace in Obernkirchen, #Germany, where 60% electrical heating has already been achieved, delivering a 64% reduction in #carbon emissions. AGP-Europe CEO Martin Petersson said: “Replacing a proportion of the natural gas with green hydrogen in the furnace represents a step change in the way we #sustainably produce glass packaging. "The future combination of hydrogen and other sustainable #technologies such as hybrid melting, will help Ardagh Group and our customers to achieve their emissions reduction targets, as well as advancing the decarbonisation of the glass #industry.” #sweden #hybrid #climateaction

Towards zero-emissions by fuel-flexible technologies - We are excited to introduce the Flexible Clean Propulsion Technologies project. We bring cleaner solutions to marine and off-road transport. The Flexible Clean Propulsion Technologies (Flex-CPT) project consortium, led by the University of Vaasa, aims to develop innovative, clean, and flexible solutions for maritime transport and off-road machinery. The goal is to reduce dependency on single fuel types, develop flexible hardware design, smart combustion control, efficient thermal management, and adaptive emission and hybrid energy management. These solutions will make it possible to use zero- and low-carbon fuels in the best way, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 100%. With the broad consortium of partners and budget of 18 million euros, this project will establish a realistic path for the Finnish powertrain industry towards carbon neutrality and shape the future of the marine and off-road sectors for decades to come. – We acknowledge that effective decarbonisation means embracing all new zero-carbon fuel options, like hydrogen and ammonia, alongside more mature low-carbon choices such as methane, methanol and bio- and renewable diesels. This level of multi-fuel integration is an unparalleled technological challenge for powertrain development, says Professor Maciej Mikulski from the University of Vaasa. Mikulski acts as the responsible leader of the Flex-CPT project. To tackle this challenge the Flex-CPT consortium comprises a number of research organisations and companies: University of Vaasa, Tampere University, Aalto University, Åbo Akademi University, LUT University, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Turun yliopisto - University of Turku, University of Oulu, Wärtsilä Finland Oy, AGCO Power Oy, Meyer Turku Oy, Proventia Oy, Bosch Rexroth Oy, Hycamite TCD Technologies Oy, Lumikko Oy, and Meriaura Oy. The project involves intensive international cooperation with 12 international partners from 12 countries. The project is part of the Wärtsilä led Zero Emission Marine programme and Meyer Turku led NEcOLEAP programme.

https://lnkd.in/dEPZcSQk SunHydrogen, a company pioneering renewable hydrogen production, recently unveiled its groundbreaking 1m² green hydrogen panel demonstration. Conducted on December 11, 2024, at their Coralville, Iowa laboratory, the test marked a leap forward in clean energy solutions. The technology showcased its ability to produce hydrogen from sunlight and water, even under subfreezing conditions, highlighting its robustness and flexibility.

CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has successfully trialled its hydrogen production technology at BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks in New South Wales. #hydrogen #technology #NewSouthWales #Australia #ports #decarbonisation #electrical #industry #shipping #steelmaking #science

Towards net zero with synthetic fuel gasoline How the integration of a synthetic gasoline production plant into an existing refinery is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions while ensuring continuity of supply. Please be so kind and read the full article by Mrs.Berckemeyer as basis to understand why technology openness will be the key for driving towards net zero. #cacengineering #karrierebeicac #chemnitz2025 #cacsynfuel
