At the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany, a panel of representatives emphasised that harmonisation – among countries and between the public and private sectors – is essential to achieving the Net Zero by 2050 scenario which requires more than 500 million tonnes of hydrogen production to meet global decarbonisation targets.

Policy leaders call for global hydrogen trade harmonisation Collaboration between policymakers and industry developers is essential for building a global hydrogen trade, but funding alone won’t be enough to achieve it, attendees at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany, have heard.

UoB has launched their Black History Month 2024 campaign, celebrating the cultures and histories of our Black community.

Renault is promising that the fuel cell and electric motor tech will provide a range of 435 miles (700km) on a single tank of hydrogen whatever the weather. It also notes that a refuel takes just five minutes. Time is money, people.

You’ll soon be able to buy the Renault Master as a hydrogen van with 435 miles of range Renault already offers the Master in ICE and electric forms, but a third propulsion method is on the way

Chapelcross is the site of a multi-million pound, net-zero focused development which includes plans for hydrogen production storage, advanced manufacturing, and energy and enterprise campuses.

Old nuclear plant site at Chapelcross targets key hydrogen role The site at Chapelcross near Annan is to play a lead role in the development of hydrogen technology.

The SusHy CDT students as part of the getwiththeh2ype team, will have a stall at the Green Man Festival this week (15-18 August), similar to the Glastonbury Festival outreach they did in June, the team will be educating the festival goers with the aid of their hydrogen demonstrators. Find them in Einstein’s Garden area.

National Highways has started procurement for hydrogen supply over the five-year construction period of the Lower Thames Crossing, a new road tunnel linking Essex and Kent.

This initiative aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the project, which is intended to alleviate congestion on the Dartford Crossing, part of the M25.

The operator of England’s motorways said the project aims to explore “carbon neutral” construction methods.

When the first non-stop flight around the world in a hydrogen-powered aeroplane takes place in four years time', it will contain parts that have been developed and made in Derbyshire. Syensquo, based in Heanor, is a major part of the emission-free historical flight of Climate Impulse, which aims to be a flagship for climate action when it makes its nine-day flight in 2028.

Derbyshire firm key to first non-stop global hydrogen-powered flight Syensqo is no stranger to major projects such as Apollo 11 and NASA's Artemis programme

Exeter Airport are set to start a series of trials later this year, introducing hydrogen-fuelled ground support equipment (GSE) in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions from airport ground operations.

The groundbreaking drive is part of the ‘Zero Carbon Turn’ Project, a research collaboration made of airport owner Regional and City Airports, the global travel company TUI and Cranfield University.
