AKASOL will supply battery systems for more than 40 Coradia iLint hydrogen trains ( earlier post ), which have been ordered from Alstom by the Lower Saxony Transit Authority and the Rhine/Main Regional Transport Association. —Olaf Lies (SPD), Lower Saxony’s Minister for the Environment, Energy, Construction and ClimateProtection.
The BMW Group presented the first BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles in a pilot fleet that will go into service this year. This active driving experience will therefore be the first chance for people not involved in the development process to gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer.
HyIron, with the support of the state of Lower Saxony, has commissioned what it says is the world’s largest direct reduction plant for green iron on the site of RWE’s Emsland gas-fired power plant. At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of greenhydrogen. Airtight rotary kiln for iron reduction.
Rolls-Royce has commissioned its first in-house test bench for mtu hydrogen engines at its Augsburg site. The mtu gas engine portfolio is being prepared for hydrogen as a fuel, thus enabling a climate-neutral energy supply. In conjunction with these renewable sources, we see hydrogen as an essential energy carrier of the future.
Alstom held a world premiere event on Sunday celebrating its Coradia iLint hydrogen fuel cell train ( earlier post ) rolling into service in Lower Saxony, Germany. The new trains will be fueled at a mobile hydrogen filling station. From today onwards, two such trains will enter commercial service according to a fixed timetable.
The BMW iFACTORY focuses the BMW Group’s production expertise on three key topic areas: LEAN, which stands for efficiency, precision and extreme flexibility; GREEN, for sustainability, resource-efficiency and circularity; and. GREEN: Sustainability along the entire value chain. —Milan Nedeljkovi?,
The project name HyBit stands for “Hydrogen for Bremen’s industrial transformation” and marks the start of the decarbonization of steel production in Bremen, Germany. The APEX Group will be the heart of the project—a 10 MW electrolysis plant for hydrogen production. We will use the first hydrogen in the existing facilities.
In the first step, an novel high-temperature technology will process natural gas to obtain hydrogen and carbon. In a subsequent catalytic process step, the hydrogen is then reacted with large volumes of CO 2 , also from other industrial processes, to produce syngas. Compared to other processes, this technology produces much less CO 2.
As part of the publicly funded Enerport II project, Duisport, one of the world’s largest inland ports, will commission a new terminal with a hydrogen-based supply network during 2024. In the future, most of the electrical and thermal energy required in the port will be generated directly on site from hydrogen in a CO 2 -neutral manner.
Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) will award up to €80 million to support the construction of electrolysis plants for the production of greenhydrogen for the transport sector. Hydrogen and fuel cell applications are a future technology with great potential for the transport sector.
The B-Class-based vehicle had light modification to support the integration of the fuel cell system, the hydrogen tank system and the electric drive. Pressing ahead, Daimler is thus working on market preparation, and is involved in several initiatives, such as H 2 Mobility, for the build-up of a hydrogen infrastructure.
If the fuels are produced with the help of renewable energy and greenhydrogen—through what is termed a Power-to-X process—existing rail vehicles can be operated in a completely CO 2 -neutral manner. DB Series 294 locomotive with an 8V 4000 R41 mtu engine running on HVO.
This raises the possibility that a switch to these oils might impede or foreclose the total reduction in emissions from all sources that is needed to avoid severe climate disruption. Accurate prediction of emissions from substitutes for conventional petroleum is therefore critical for climateprotection. —Karras 2010.
Initiated by Porsche and implemented with partners including Siemens Energy and ExxonMobil, production of eFuels from hydrogen and CO 2 using wind energy is expected to start there in mid-2022. EFuels make an important contribution to climateprotection and complement our electromobility in a meaningful way. Earlier post.).
In addition, MAHLE is presenting its newest systems solutions for battery electric drives, fuel cells and cleaner combustion engines which can also be fueled with hydrogen. This development was sponsored by the Federal Ministry for the Economy and ClimateProtection (BMWK). Hydrogen engines. Earlier post.).
More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climateprotection. This is true whether the fuel is literally carbon-free (electricity or hydrogen) or is chemically carbon-based (hydrocarbon or alcohol).
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
By the end of the next decade, Daimler Trucks & Buses will extend its range of vehicles with hydrogen-powered series production vehicles. In Tokyo, Daimler Trucks & Buses recently celebrated the world premiere of the FUSO brand fuel-cell prototype “Vision F-Cell”, thus further strengthening its activity in the hydrogen field.
The hydrogen for the trains will be provided by the Linde Group. Hydrogen and fuel cells are an ideal combination for climateprotection as well as for the energy and transport revolution. The funds are to be provided from the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP 2).
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), together with international project partners, has inaugurated the largest solar-chemical installation yet for the production of hydrogen. In the transport sector, hydrogen drives can make a significant contribution towards climateprotection.
Böhni emphasized that the production of climate-neutral fuel is key to climateprotection and therefore needs to be given a fair chance; he established the Clean Fuel Now initiative at the Federal Parliament in Bern in late 2014. Climate change is happening much faster than we thought a few years ago. Earlier post.).
Such an approach can indicate policy directions consistent with fostering the conditions that comprehensive analyses imply are necessary for climateprotection. Controlling the net CO2 emissions impact of fuels (reducing carbon intensity) Using carbon-free fuels (electricity, hydrogen) produced with low net GHG emissions.
Address market-mediated impacts (indirect GHG emissions versus those in the direct supply chain) through a Land Protection Fund (LPF) for purchasing international forest carbon offsets commensurate with induced fuels-related GHG emissions not otherwise accounted for. “ DeCicco (2009). DeCicco (2009). Emissions missed by a fossil-based cap.
In this sense, modern and clean diesel technology can also contribute to climateprotection. Motor vehicle owners are also entitled to the protection of their trust. Among other actions detailed in the declaration of the Forum, the automakers will fund a €500-million “Sustainable mobility for the city” fund. Rail transport.
The VDA spends much of its time advocating in its position paper for “renewable fuels of non-biological origin” (RFNBOs), which is an umbrella term for both greenhydrogen (generated through electrolysis of water via renewable energy) and e-fuels produced by combining greenhydrogen with other chemicals to create synthetic liquid fuels.
Unfortunately, due to our grid situation, electric cars are still too early for this strategic goal in the sense of German climateprotection efforts. According to the study, natural gas combustion engines are an ideal technology for transitioning to vehicles powered by hydrogen or “green” methane in the long term.
German Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek recently unveiled an example of a “hyper hybrid” vehicle powered by synthetic methanol, which is based on “greenhydrogen” technologies. “Climateprotection can only succeed with greenhydrogen. ” Wolf said.
