🌟 Conquering innovation! Three young Spaniards have developed a revolutionary invention to store clean and cheap energy, and it has caught the attention of Dyson!
🔑 #CleanEnergy #Hydrogen #Innovation #ModularTechnology #Security
💡 ATOM H2 has improved an existing process by focusing on system modularity and the conversion of hydrogen into a solid-state stack. This approach reduces the volume, pressure and safety issues associated with hydrogen storage. Using hydrides, combinations of hydrogen with a transition metal, they have succeeded in transforming hydrogen from a gas to a solid state, thus eliminating additional risks and costs.

🌍 Brussels to launch a new green hydrogen auction in early December 🌍 🔋 #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonisation #Innovation #Sustainability
🔋 #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonisation #Innovation #Sustainability
🌟 The European Commission will launch its second renewable hydrogen auction on 3 December, in the framework of the European Hydrogen Bank. This auction will have a budget of up to €1.2 billion, financed with revenues from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme through the Innovation Fund. In addition, Brussels foresees a specific allocation of funding for producers who sell their renewable hydrogen to buyers in the maritime sector, thus accelerating decarbonisation in this sector. Awardees will receive a fixed premium in euros per kilogram of renewable hydrogen produced over ten years of operation, helping to close the gap between production costs and the market price.

🚛 H2Accelerate urges EU to support the deployment of hydrogen refuelling 🚛
🔋 #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #Decarbonisation #Innovation #Sustainability
🌟 The H2Accelerate collaboration has published its latest policy paper, highlighting the actions and support needed from the European Union (EU) to meet the CO2 targets set by the European Commission. The updated targets call for a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. While H2Accelerate acknowledges the efforts of policy makers, notably the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), it notes that uncertainty about the long-term business case is preventing the necessary large-scale investments.

🚀 UFI Hydrogen’s revolutionary sustainable green hydrogen and clean energy technology 🚀 🔋
🔋 #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Decarbonisation #Innovation #Technology
🌟 UFI Filters showcased its impressive technological capabilities at Automechanika Frankfurt. On its imposing stand, it presented the UFI Hydrogen project, launched in 2023, which drives the decarbonisation of the economy with innovative solutions. UFI Hydrogen is dedicated to the manufacture of catalyst-covered membranes (MEA), essential for proton exchange membrane electrolysers (PEM). These MEAs enable the efficient production of green hydrogen and its conversion into electricity for various applications such as fuel cells, power generation, industrial processes and domestic supply. These membranes are crucial for the electrochemical separation of hydrogen and oxygen from water and the catalytic conversion of hydrogen into electricity.

🌟 Reclaimed water: a solution in times of drought for green hydrogen
💧 #RegeneratedWater #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #Industry #Innovation
🚧 The San Roque-Los Barrios WWTP, currently under construction, will be key for the production of green hydrogen in Cepsa’s energy park. 🌍 The regenerated water from this plant will be used almost entirely for this park, while the Algeciras plant will supply the rest of the industrial supplies of the industrial park. 🏭 This will allow the development of EDP’s H2 project at the former Los Barrios thermal power plant and will cover the needs of other companies such as Acerinox.
🔗 According to José Manuel Alcántara, general manager of Arcgisa, all the WWTPs will have an interconnected system to adapt production according to needs. 🌱 This infrastructure is crucial for green hydrogen initiatives such as Cepsa’s valley and EDP’s investment in Los Barrios, increasing industrial water consumption by almost 25% and the total of Campo de Gibraltar by 8%.

🌟 Innovation in Germany!
🔋 #Hydrogen #GreenTechnology #Sustainability #WastePlastic #Industry
♻️ German startup Green Hydrogen Technology (GHT) has developed an innovative technology to produce climate-neutral hydrogen from non-recyclable plastic waste. 🚛 From 2025, the plant will produce cheap hydrogen for H2 trucks. 🌍 There is no trace of the ‘chicken and egg problem’.
🇩🇪 Germany has numerous problems. However, two of these problems can be solved with one technology, promises the Augsburg startup ‘Green Hydrogen Technology’, or GHT for short. Their promise: their industrial plant will convert non-recyclable plastic into hydrogen, which the country (and especially the industry) urgently needs to become climate neutral.
