An E4tech-led analysis of the potential economic value of European fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) manufacturing and supply has just been published. Commissioned by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking or FCHJU, and carried out in partnership with Ecorys and Strategic Analysis, the study shows that the potentially significant socioeconomic value of FCH manufacturing.

Renewable ethanol is expected to play an important role in the realisation of the EU’s energy and climate ambitions to 2030. However, one of the main factors limiting the potential contribution of renewable ethanol to decarbonisation of the road vehicle fleet is the level at which it is allowed to be blended into gasoline. E4tech […]
Sweden and Norway have one, the Netherlands is considering one, and the Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy in Germany is calling for an obligation on the use of renewable fuel in aviation. E4tech director Ausilio Bauen joins a panel at AIREG’s conference today to discuss future supply of alternative fuel in aviation. To learn more […]

In the latest edition of Building Services News (p.60-61) , Tom Houghton gives a viewpoint on the development of fuel cells for CHP applications in the commercial sector. Fuel cells can already offer improvements to air quality in the built environment and can increase efficiency across both power production and heat under the right conditions. […]
The f-cell Impulse Summit for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells is in Stuttgart, 10-11 September. E4tech’s Franz Lehner will be presenting an ‘outside perspective on China’, put together from our extensive engagement with China’s fuel cell and hydrogen industry. As in photovoltaics and battery electric vehicles, China could bring the scale to push fuel cells to […]
The Rail Industry Decarbonisation Task Force, assisted by the Rail Safety and Standards Board , released its final report to the Rail Minister on 20 July setting out its proposed approach to decarbonising the UK’s railways. The report, commissioned in 2018 by the then Minister Jo Johnson, sets out how the rail industry can contribute […]
David has been in Johannesburg and Cape Town speaking at a fuel cell conference organised by Nedbank CIB Research. Interest in fuel cells in S Africa is high, with Government support growing across all Departments, particularly looking at adding value to S Africa’s platinum industry. Interviewed on CNBC Africa, David and Conduit Ventures CEO John […]
Old solutions go overboard, big changes needed Today the UK Department for Transport published the Clean Maritime Plan describing the ambition to drastically reduce emissions of both greenhouse gases and air pollutants from the shipping sector and to develop strong UK industries to deliver this. The scale of the challenge is huge and the analysis […]
Road transport’s emissions challenges are – on the face of it – readily solvable by means of electric drive. Whether it is tailpipe pollutants or greenhouse gases, green electricity and batteries or hydrogen and fuel cells offer a means to clean up vehicles. However, that is much more easily said than done and the current […]
