One of the key market drivers for hydrogen as fuel source is the need for deep decarbonization of our economies. The tipping point was in 2015 with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Governments, experts and industries have acknowledged the need to move towards a net zero carbon by 2050 which is extremely challenging.

Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation, fueling equipment and hydrogen-based fuel cell power modules, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Halcyon Power – a joint venture of New Zealand-based Tuaropaki Trust and Obayashi Corporation of Japan – to supply a carbon-free hydrogen production facility in New Zealand.

The German Aerospace Center DLR and Regensburger energy and water supply REWAG start pushing forward the use of hydrogen as an energy source with Aurelia Turbines. The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop the capability to burn hydrogen fuel in a high efficiency gas turbine for distributed generation applications.
