249 hydrogen buses delivered to Guangzhou by Skyworth

A Korean-Chinese alliance has delivered 249 fuel cell buses to the state-owned Guangzhou Public Transport Group. These are 8.5-meter-long midibuses from the

Researchers at UC San Diego are diving into hydrogen combustion using advanced simulations. Their goal? To create stable "lifted flames" for gas-turbine combustors. This is vital since hydrogen burns cleanly but can be tricky to manage. By leveraging supercomputers, they hope to revolutionize the design of zero-carbon gas turbines. Exciting times for #CleanEnergy and #Hydrogen innovation! https://www.enn.com/articles/77748-hydrogen-power-gets-a-spark-thanks-to-sdsc-s-expanse

Japanese hydrogen dual-fuel engine advances towards operational trials

ClassNK awards type-approval, NOx certificates to Yanmar Power Solutions for high-speed, four-stroke hydrogen dual-fuel engine

Swiss startup tests ammonia-based power in Detroit

How it works: Neology is developing a system that converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen and then into electricity using a fuel cell, producing water as the primary byproduct.

The process involves an “ammonia cracker,” a device that splits ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen. The hydrogen is then fed into a fuel cell to generate electricity, while nitrogen, a harmless component of air, is released.

Since the nuclear disaster, Fukushima has become a powerhouse for renewables in Japan. But the prefecture is still pursuing hydrogen as a key cog for the energy transition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/02/02/energy/fukushima-pushes-hydrogen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #fukushima #solar #hydrogen #renewables #emissions #fukushimahydrogenenergyresearchfield
