The streets of Beijing have undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years. The once-noisy, smog-filled traffic has been replaced by an unusual quiet for a megacity. Roads are now dominated by electric vehicles (EVs), each adorned with distinct green license plates. This shift is not confined to Beijing; it is a nationwide phenomenon that reflects China’s commitment to green ecology and sustainable development.
Nel and Samsung C&T have partnered to convert excess nuclear energy into hydrogen, introducing the concept of “pink hydrogen.” Utilizing Nel’s advanced alkaline electrolyzers, the project aims to optimize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This initiative not only showcases technological innovation but also serves as a global model for using hydrogen as a clean energy vector, particularly in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries. With a €135 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund, Nel is accelerating the industrialization of next-generation electrolyzer technology, further solidifying hydrogen’s role in sustainable energy systems.
China’s Mingyang Smart Energy has launched the Jupiter One, a groundbreaking 30 MW hydrogen-powered generator, marking a significant advancement in clean energy technology and potentially revolutionizing renewable energy storage solutions.
AVL RACETECH’s hydrogen engine combines cutting-edge technology like water injection and stoichiometric combustion, achieving 410 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. This development underscores hydrogen’s potential as a clean, high-performance alternative to traditional fuels, marking a significant step toward sustainable transportation.
Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in the world, but it’s not invincible. Over time, cracks form due to environmental stress, requiring costly and resource-intensive maintenance. Enter bacteria—nature’s microscopic masons.
Dormant bacteria embedded in concrete mix awaken when cracks form and water seeps in. These bacteria then produce limestone, effectively healing the damage. This process not only strengthens the material but also reduces the need for repairs.
