Infinity has delivered a fuel cell prototype to NASA for ground testing, aimed at demonstrating a regenerative energy storage system for potential lunar applications. The company is advancing the technology under NASA’s Game Changing Development Regenerative Fuel Cell project. It said it recently achieved a major milestone by successfully completing an initial 500-hour life test and delivering the test article to NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Infinity, based in Connecticut, specializes in hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers for aerospace applications. The Advanced Passive Water Removal (APWR) fuel cell features patented technology that enables passive water management in microgravity and operation in the thermal vacuum of space.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Development Program (PHBC) into law. Law No. 14,990/2024published on September 30, 2024, allows tax benefits for buyers and sellers of low-carbon hydrogen. The program allocates BRL18.3 billion ($3.35 billion) for distribution through a competitive process between 2028 and 2032, with specific regulations to be developed. Minister of Mines and Energy Alexandre Silveira has also done so announced the availability of approximately BRL 6 billion for investments aimed at decarbonizing industry through hydrogen hubs worldwide, in collaboration with the Climate Investment Funds (CIF).
Adani Total gas has commissioned its hydrogen blending system and in-situ hydrogen generation at Adani Shantigram in Ahmedabad, India. The joint venture between Adani Group and France’s TotalEnergies said the project would provide uninterrupted hydrogen blend natural gas to 4,000 domestic and commercial consumers.
Sonangol has signed an agreement with CWP and Germany’s Conjuncta and Gauff to develop the Barra do Dande green hydrogen project in Angola. The deal includes the design, licensing, financing, engineering and construction of the facility. CWP said the project aims to use the spare capacity of existing hydropower generation to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives, with electrolysis capacity expected to reach 600 MW. The initiative is expected to be the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, with annual ammonia production from the first phase estimated at 400,000 tonnes and plans for future capacity increases for exports to European markets.
Egypt Green Hydrogen (EGH) will secure €30 million ($32.98 million) for a hydrogen project in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), the largest industrial cluster in Egypt. KGAL Investment Management GmbH, the fund manager on behalf of the German development bank KfW, had assessed a total of 98 applications from seven countries. The contract was officially signed this week during the Hamburg Sustainability Conference. The second round of applications is expected to start in the winter of 2024-2025.
