Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy investing €120M over 5 years to develop fully integrated offshore wind-to-hydrogen system

Green Car Congress

Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy are joining forces to develop an innovative solution that fully integrates an electrolyzer into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronized system to produce green hydrogen directly. The solution will lower the cost of hydrogen by being able to run off grid, opening up more and better wind sites.

In Norway, Asko begins piloting use of hydrogen fuel-cell trucks

Green Car Congress

Norwegian wholesaler Asko is among the first to operate a goods vehicle that runs on hydrogen, thanks to a collaborative effort by research scientists and industry. The on-board charger is 22 kW AC with CCS charging interface, and hydrogen storage is 33 kg @350 bar. The aim here is not to use hydrogen for all goods transport.
