GTT, TOTALENERGIES, LMG MARIN AND BUREAU VERITAS REACH A NEW MILESTONE IN LIQUEFIED HYDROGEN TRANSPORT

On the occasion of the Hyvolution Summit 2024 trade show, GTT, TotalEnergies, LMG Marin and Bureau Veritas announced the success of their Joint Development Project (JDP), which resulted in two Approvals in Principle (AIP) from Bureau Veritas, the BV announced.

The first approval concerns the design of a cryogenic membrane containment system for liquefied hydrogen (LH2) developed by GTT. The second is for the preliminary design of a 150,000 m3 Large-Scale LH2 Carrier equipped with the GTT containment system.

These approvals are part of the JDP announced in April1 2023, paving the way for the maritime transport of hydrogen. The ability to transport very large volumes of hydrogen in liquefied form, at -253°C, is one of the technological challenges to be met to establish a reliable, efficient and competitive hydrogen supply chain and, therefore, to enable an energy transition towards a carbon-free future.

Faced with these challenges, TotalEnergies, GTT, LMG Marin and Bureau Veritas have joined forces to develop an innovative large-scale LH2 carrier concept. This collaboration testifies to the exceptional synergy between key players in French industry to meet the challenges of hydrogen shipping on a global scale. Each member has contributed specific expertise and know-how, demonstrating a collective commitment to finding solutions to the climate challenge:

TECNALIA is collaborating on developing a high-speed hydrogen train

 TECNALIA, the largest center of applied research and technological development in Spain, is working in collaboration with Talgo, Golendus, Ingeteam, Optimus3D, Repsol, Sener, Comillas Pontifical University and Adif to bring hydrogen propulsion to high-speed trains, the company announced.

The HYMPULSO initiative is aimed at designing and building a renewable hydrogen fuel cell-based propulsion system for high-speed trains. Led by Talgo, the consortium aims to electrify the rail network with energy generated entirely from renewable sources, even on routes without overhead lines. TECNALIA will carry out safety assessments, leak analysis and CFD simulations of hydrogen dispersion, as well as ATEX classification for the new hydrogen  train.

The goal is to develop, manufacture and test the dual-hybrid hydrogen-battery drive on a Talgo 250 train branch line, intended for long-distance operations on mixed sections: partially electrified and non-electrified. These trains have two power cars (CET by its Spanish acronym) each, which are currently used to generate electricity to power the drive units. They currently use diesel on the sections without overhead lines.

MTU Aero Engines has announced the launch of the Hydrogen-Electric Zero Emission Propulsion System programme

A new venture is taking off: The new Clean Aviation technology program, HEROPS (Hydrogen-Electric Zero Emission Propulsion System), was launched in mid-January, the MTU Aero Engines announced on 7 February. Some 30 representatives of the participating partners in the fields of industry, research, and science came to Munich for the kickoff event at MTU Aero Engines.

Building on MTU’s Flying Fuel Cell™ (FFC), the goal is to develop technologies for a climate-neutral, hydrogen-powered electric powertrain that will put regional airplanes in the air starting in 2035. The HEROPS project officially began last September, when the Governing Board of Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking (CAJU) chose eight additional research projects during its second Clean Aviation Call.

During the project’s three-year period, the partners, led by MTU, plan to build a HEROPS Ground Demonstrator with 1.2 megawatts of power. They also want to prove the feasibility of the new, groundbreaking technologies and show that they are highly scalable, reaching between two and four megawatts of power using modular engine architecture.

The HEROPS industry partners are MT Aerospace, RTX’s Collins Aerospace, Lufthansa Technik and Eaton; the research partners are Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) and the Technical University Vienna.

Linde Engineering and Daimler Truck opened the world’s first public sLH₂ refueling station in Germany

Together with Daimler Truck AG, we opened the world’s first public Subcooled Liquid Hydrogen (sLH₂) refueling station in Wörth/Rhein, Germany, the Linde Engineering announced.

sLH₂ is just as easy for drivers to use as diesel fuel: Connect the tank nozzle and in 10 to 15 minutes the vehicle is ready for the next 1,000 km. The good news for filling station operators: Compared to existing hydrogen filling stations, the costs for purchase and operation are considerably lower. From a technical point of view, the system is much simpler, and only 5% of the energy previously required is needed to handle the hydrogen.

DHL Group deploying hydrogen trucks in Germany 

 DHL Freight deployed a hydrogen truck by special-purpose commercial vehicle maker Paul Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH, the DHL announced.The Paul Hydrogen Power-Truck, a vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz Atego, will be used during the one-year pilot for distribution and line hauls at the Cologne location. This is already the second hydrogen truck for DHL Group in Germany. Another vehicle is operating for the Post & Parcel Germany division at the Cologne West facility. The company and its divisions are testing and implementing various sustainable drive solutions as part of their sustainability strategy and the interim target of reducing emissions to less than 29 million tons by 2030.

“In the realm of road transport, where no single alternative drive technology has yet emerged as the clear winner, it is crucial for us to maintain a technology-neutral approach and continue testing various sustainable solutions. This includes not only battery electric trucks but also hydrogen vehicles, which excel in longer distances due to their impressive range and quick refueling capabilities. Our ultimate goal is to determine the optimal combination of technologies and drive systems to achieve our net-zero emissions logistics target by 2050,” says Dr. Thomas Vogel, CEO of DACH, UK & IE DHL Freight.

The two 15.6-ton trucks, with a range of approximately 400km with a trailer and 600km without a trailer, were manufactured by Paul Nutzfahrzeuge on behalf of Shell in Vilshofen, Southern Germany. The basis for the first series-produced medium-duty fuel cell truck in Germany is provided by a Mercedes-Benz Atego.

DELIVERY HYDROGEN-POWERED VESSEL H2 BARGE 2

Holland Shipyards Group announced the delivery of “H2 Barge 2”, its second hydrogen-powered vessel, to Future Proof Shipping. This comes shortly after the successful delivery of the first vessel, “H2 Barge 1”, early in 2023.

The “H2 Barge 2” represents a significant step forward in the maritime industry’s journey towards zero emissions. This vessel has undergone a complete retrofit from traditional internal combustion technology to cutting-edge hydrogen fuel technology. The retrofit involved removing the main engine and reduction gearbox, replacing the diesel engine driving the bow thruster and diesel generators with a new modular propulsion system. This system includes electric motors, hydrogen tanks, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell system for converting hydrogen into electric power, and a battery system. The “H2 Barge 2” boasts six fuel cell modules, providing a total fuel cell capacity of 1.2 MW.

Incheon and Harvard Universities’s Research Team Improves Fuel Cell Durability with Fatigue-Resistant Membranes

Scientists have developed a fatigue-resistant electrolyte membrane with an interpenetrating polymer network, which prolongs the lifespan of a fuel cell, the Incheon National University announced on 7 February.

A novel approach to address environmental challenges is the development and commercialization of robust hydrogen fuel cells. These cells contain a polymer electrolyte membrane that serves as a barrier between the electrodes (the conductors that enable the flow of electricity through a substance). This membrane conducts protons but inhibits the movement of electrons, hydrogen molecules, and oxygen molecules.

When a vehicle speeds up or slows down, the fuel cell operates inconsistently, leading to varying water production and causing the membrane to expand and contract. The repetitive deformation over time results in the formation of cracks, accelerating the undesired transport of hydrogen through the membrane and ultimately causing operational failure. Some methods employed to address these cracks include radical scavengers and hydrocarbon electrolyte membranes. However, while these approaches offer some defense, they are not capable of entirely preventing the formation and propagation of these cracks.
