🚗 #Mahle designs a #heat engine so that it can be fuelled by #hydrogen.

German equipment manufacturer Mahle has adapted #pistons, #rods and other internal parts of a combustion engine so that it can run directly on hydrogen fuel.The idea of powering an internal combustion engine with hydrogen is making a comeback after a long time when it was sidelined in favour of hydrogen fuel cells (which power electric motors). Now, German equipment manufacturer Mahle is not about to miss the opportunity when the industry seems to bless this technology to adapt pistons, connecting rods and other internal parts of a combustion engine to this chemical element.
In the past, BMW and Mazda have been the manufacturers most interested in using hydrogen as a fuel to power their vehicles. However, after a long period of work, experiments with hydrogen-fuelled combustion engines seemed to have fallen into oblivion. The reason for this was too little performance: a huge naturally aspirated 6.0 V12 in the BMW 7 Series E65 dropped from 445 hp to just 260 hp when switched from using hydrogen as a fuel… https://bit.ly/3SP0HLj

🚗 The first applications of #hydrogen to #mobility in #Spain, a success in search of levers.

Days ago, #energy and #transport #companies met in Madrid on the occasion of the Green Gas Mobility Summit organised by Gasnam, an ideal scenario to take the pulse of the first successful hydrogen applications in our country.As of 31 December 2021, there were only 685 hydrogen refuelling stations for mobility in the world as of 31 December 2021, and during the past year, 142 more facilities of this type were opened around the world, of which 89 began operating in Asia, 13 in North America and 37 in Europe. And although it is already possible to refuel hydrogen in a vehicle in at least 33 countries, all these figures convey a basic idea: this is a nascent technology, in full gestation, as these 685 hydrogenerators worldwide are nothing compared, for example, with the nearly 11,000 filling stations that exist in Europe… https://bit.ly/3SNkqLx

Researchers at the #LeibnizInstitute for #Catalysis have studied this problem and developed an energy storage and release technology using carbonate and bicarbonate salts, using the more readily available metallic manganese.

The experts found that when converting bicarbonate and hydrogen to formate (formic acid salt), the most effective was the use of potassium in the presence of manganese as a catalyst.

Interestingly, lysine, an amino acid component of proteins in biological media, also acted as an activator of the reaction and promoted the capture of carbon dioxide and prevented its release. The reaction temperature in this process is kept below 93 degrees Celsius.

The results of the study showed that after five cycles, the method showed a high hydrogen yield: 80 per cent. In addition, the purity of the hydrogen produced was 99 per cent.

The German country, with which Morocco maintained an open crisis until a few months ago it supported Morocco’s autonomy plan for the territory of Western Sahara as “a good basis”, explains that since the 1950s, Morocco has been Germany’s main partner in the North African region and has been the country’s main partner in the region…. https://bit.ly/3VX8SHS

📰 How its #war against #Ukraine killed #Russia’s #hydrogen ambitions.

Russia is the country with the world’s largest #naturalgas deposits and has been exploring ways to adjust its energy sector to the needs of emerging global hydrogen. In 2021, it announced a goal of capturing up to 20 percent of the global hydrogen market by 2030. This came after all of Russia’s major energy importers had developed their hydrogen strategies, and its key energy companies began to explore new opportunities. Having signed memoranda of understanding with some of the world’s leading energy companies to jointly develop Russia’s hydrogen export potential, they focused on Europe as a key destination. Some of Asia’s hydrogen pioneers and most promising future importers, such as Japan and South Korea, were also included among Russia’s potential partners.

These steps could have resulted in fruitful and long-lasting collaborations that generated great benefits for Russia, but its ambitions have been compromised by the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. This has led Russia to lose key political and economic partners in Europe and also in Asia. This, combined with being the target of the toughest sanctions in its history, is likely to cripple its… https://bit.ly/3gxMuod

🛳 #Japan tests the first #passenger ship using #hydrogen.

Japan has tested a passenger ship with a #hydrogen-diesel dual-engine, the first of its kind in the world according to its creators.
The ferry, christened Hydro Bingo, which is about 20 metres long and 5.4 metres wide, can carry 80 passengers, operates at a service speed of 23 knots and made a short test run in Tokyo Bay.

It is the first commercial passenger ship to run on hydrogen, according to its creators, Japanese shipbuilder Tsuneishi Facilites & Craft and Belgian CMB.TECH, companies with respective expertise in the development of electric vessels and applications… https://bit.ly/3stvm5M

🌐 #Hydrogen from #liquid #manure: start-up of the #Hof plan plant.

By the end of this week, the first plant in #Germany that converts liquid manure into hydrogen will go into operation, explained “Btx Energy” engineer Andy Gradel in an interview to BR. This could be used to power fuel cell vehicles.

The system required for this was developed in cooperation with the University of #Aachen, among others, and is scheduled to go into operation in #Krefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia. There, the liquid manure from a large farm will be converted into hydrogen and then used directly for the #vehicles of a #fuel company… https://bit.ly/3TTWp5W

📰 Cepsa places #Huelva in one of the axes of its #decarbonisation.

The projects to implement green #hydrogen production plants are based on ensuring the #economic viability of the same, for which the market for the same is essential. Initially, Cepsa’s main customer will be the need for hydrogen for its own fuel refining processes, as it is one of the country’s main consumers. It should be borne in mind that exceeding the tonnes of CO2 permitted by European legislation, whose years are numbered, has meant that its market price has risen from 33 to more than 88 euros in the last few years…. https://bit.ly/3SwtF28

🌐 Goodbye, #photovoltaics? This #solar system produces #hydrogen instead of #electricity.

Belgian engineers have developed a new type of solar panel. Unlike previous #technologies, the modules are used to generate hydrogen. This would allow the energy produced in summer to be stored directly for use in winter.

According to the Solhyd Project, one panel can produce 250 litres of hydrogen per day. This allows a single-family house to be fully powered by 20 panels. However, the new solar cells are not yet commercially available. The inventors are currently testing the modules in several pilot projects. In their estimation, the hydrogen modules could be commercially available in… https://bit.ly/3N4UB84

📰 This is what the new #green #hydrogen boom will look like in the coming years: 25 million #tonnes will be produced by 2030.

Everything indicates that green hydrogen is the new trend in the #energy sector. This energy vector is key to achieving the #decarbonisation targets for 2050. That is why this #industry is going to experience a real boom in the coming years. Or at least that’s what #Bloomber believes through its BNEF unit.
According to BNEF’s latest report on electrolysers, the world will go from having 2 GW of electrolysers by the end of 2022 to no less than 240 GW by 2030. In other words, there will be a 100-fold increase in… https://bit.ly/3TLUXmt
