Special Focus: Fuel Cell Applications

Fueling the future: The rise of solid oxide technology

While many fuel cell variants have been developed, their commercialization still faces challenges despite the technology’s clear potential. Intermediate temperature, steel-supported solid oxide technology is a potential game-changer for fuel cell and electrolyzer applications.

Maximize methanol efficiency via fuel cell technology: The synergy between H2 and methanol

The maritime industry is undergoing a significant transformation as it aims to reach net-zero emissions, and renewable fuels are key in helping with this transition. As part of the shift toward more sustainable shipping practices, a wide range of alternative fuels are being explored, with eFuels emerging as one of the most promising options.

Fuel cell technology: A solution for clean power generation

Fuel cells have often been touted as a clean power technology of the future, offering a solution to the decarbonization challenges for combustion engine vehicles. In the last decade, battery technology has progressed to such an extent that it has become the de-facto first choice for passenger electric vehicles (EVs).

H2 Equipment and Services

Mass flowmeters solve H2 value chain application problems

While there are some facilities where hydrogen (H2) is produced and consumed entirely within the fence line, most participants in the growing H2 value chain engage in some combination of production, storage, transportation or consumption.

Rebuilding with H2: Ukraine’s opportunity amidst uncertainty in the global H2 economy

The uncertainty within the hydrogen (H2) market continues as various regions approach sustainability in different ways, while others disregard it altogether. Europe has continued its efforts to incorporate H2 into its energy mix despite setbacks, with several planned projects being postponed or scrapped.

A deep dive into the strategies driving China’s H2 success

There is no denying that China has ambitious hydrogen (H2) goals, including plans for fuel cell vehicles, green H2 production and critical infrastructure development. However, you would be forgiven for not knowing much about it, given that China’s H2 efforts are infrequently reported by the Western media. 

Trends

H2Tech: Tech Spotlight

May’s H2Tech Tech Spotlight consists of a fully integrated bipolar plate for PEM electrolyzers, a design for an improved H2 fuel cell, an optimization and simulation tool for Power-to-X projects and much more.

H2Tech: Global Projects Data

Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) database is tracking > 1,400 active H2 projects globally. Most projects are in Western Europe, followed by Asia and the U.S. In total, these three regions account for 80% of active H2 projects globally, with Europe accounting for nearly 50% of all H2 projects.
