H2scan has launched HyView, an industrialized display to complement its Gen 5 sensor products to meet a broad range of applications. HyView is a hardened display that can consolidate data from multiple hydrogen sensors and is available in explosion-proof and National Electrical Manufacturer Association ratings. 

Liquefaction is a critical step in the H₂ supply chain because it enables the transportation and storage of pure H₂ in an energy-dense form. In addition, liquid H₂ may be preferred over other mediums (e.g., gaseous H₂, chemical carriers) due to the cost-effectiveness of transport and minimal infrastructure investment at the end-use site. Compared to gaseous H₂, one liquid H₂ tanker holds more H₂ than eight standard tube trailers.

Chart and Nikola Corporation have executed a strategic collaboration agreement including liquid H₂ storage tanks, transport trailers and the development of new mobile and modular H₂ refueling stations for quick deployment.

H₂Tech (H₂T) had the opportunity to speak with Adam Goff (AG), SVP of Strategy for 8 Rivers, to discuss 8 Rivers’ low-carbon hydrogen (H₂) and direct air capture (DAC) technologies, as well as its Allam-Fetvedt cycle.

NETL researchers have been awarded a patent for a new fiber optic sensor designed to detect H₂ leaks at storage facilities that can save time and money compared to traditional methods—progress that can help accelerate the drive to put H₂ to work as a dependable fuel to advance America’s decarbonization efforts.

A new H₂ compressor developed at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) can improve the efficiency and reliability of H₂ compression used in the refueling of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The SwRI-developed linear motor-driven reciprocating compressor is designed to compress H₂ as a fuel source for FCEVs and other H₂-powered vehicles.

In this episode, H₂Tech sat down with Samir Vora, Vice President - Market Intelligence, Strategy and Pricing for Mitsubishi Power Americas. The conversation covered green H₂ and ammonia fueling power generation, market challenges facing the expansion of clean H₂ throughout different energy sectors and the company's Advanced Clean Energy Storage hub.

Viritech announced that it is extending its cooperation with Haydale, a global technology solutions company and a leader in functionalized graphene-enhanced nanomaterials. The two companies will work together on solutions for H₂ pressure vessels for the automotive industry, initially focusing on commercial vehicles.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and PT. PLN Nusantara Power, a sub-holding of Indonesia’s state-owned electricity provider PT. PLN, have signed a MoU to commence three technical studies related to co-firing of less carbon intensive fuels at power plants owned and operated by Nusantara Power.

The technology group Wärtsilä and WEC Energy Group have successfully tested the capabilities of a Wärtsilä engine running on 25-vol% H₂-blended fuel. The tests, which were completed in October 2022, were conducted at WEC Energy Group’s 55 MW A.J.

Ricardo has delivered a H₂-fueled research engine to global engine specialist Cummins and automotive supplier BorgWarner, as part of Project BRUNEL part funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre.

Chart and ZEV Stations have executed a Memorandum of Understanding enabling the companies to collaborate on novel deployment for U.S.-based, multimodal H₂ stations with Chart equipment.
