Extreme E has unveiled the hydrogen fuel cell generator which will play a key role in the opening season of this new electric racing series, starting April 2021. A world-first collaboration with AFC Energy, this technology will allow Extreme E to charge its race fleet using zero emission energy, with the only by-product being water for utilisation elsewhere at each of its five races.

Since the announcement in July last year, AFC Energy plc has worked closely with Extreme E to design and complete a bespoke fuel cell and operating system, requiring a detailed understanding of the extremities of conditions in each race location to support the system’s successful deployment in being able to charge all of the championship’s ODYSSEY 21 electric SUVs.

Following six months of collaborative engineering with Extreme E’s utilities team, the fuel cell system has undergone a month of intensive commissioning in January at AFC Energy’s Surrey assembly facility, alongside battery management systems and vehicle charging infrastructure testing.

With the system getting the green light, it has now been distributed ahead of being loaded onto Extreme E’s floating centrepiece, St. Helena, prior to its departure from the UK in mid-February for Saudi Arabia.

Great news - I initially missed this news due it being non regulatory. Should be another interesting day but our system for extreme e is being unveiled. Bring on the media storm. GLAH.

That will be interesting Tetrolite.

Will also be interesting to see where the posters with a positive slant have gone today and whether they will be back on a blue day.

Nice one Tatty I was going to post the same thing. Very positive and other players which all help to promote the WTE piece. No competition is lake saying there is no room for BP, Shell, TOTAL etc....GLAH

Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to buy Ubitricity, owner of the largest public charging network for electric vehicles in the UK, as the oil major expands its presence along the power supply chain. 

Shell said on Monday it would buy 100 per cent of the company for an undisclosed amount. Ubitricity, founded in Germany, is a leading European provider of on-street charging for electric vehicles.

Nice one Johnged

Extreme e now updated
https://www.extreme-e.com/en/news/182_Extreme-E-confirms-Jenson-Button-as-team-owner-and-driver.html

Extreme E today welcomes its third Formula One World Champion to the series in the shape of Jenson Button, who will not only own a team – JBXE – but will also be one of the team’s two drivers.

Arguably Button’s biggest move since leaving Formula One in 2017, his entry to Extreme E signifies his latest venture in the world of motorsport. Over the past three years, the Briton has successfully tried his hand at many other disciplines and championships including the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Le Mans 24 Hours, British GT and Super GT, which he won with Team Kunimitsu in 2018.

While much of his racing career has been spent on the smooth asphalt of the race track, Button has always had a passion for off-road racing. His late father, John Button, was a leading rallycross driver in the 1970s and ‘80s, claiming the runner-up spot in both the British Rallycross Championship and Lydden Hill Rallycross Championship in 1976.

Always a driver looking to explore different racing challenges, Button first experienced off-road racing himself in 2019 while contesting the Baja 1000, one of the most gruelling races of all time, where competitors take on the Baja California Peninsula and its tough terrain and extreme heat.

Gapped up indeed - a lot of blue buys today. GLAH

Spanish renewable energy producer Acciona said it is leading an industrial research project that seeks to build the world’s first offshore green hydrogen plant powered by floating wind and photovoltaic technology.

Dubbed OceanH2, the project will study different implementation scenarios for an offshore hybrid power generation system, evaluating the design alternatives along the whole hydrogen production, storage and distribution chain to identify solutions that have the greatest development potential based on the proposed new materials.

Following the study, Acciona said it will conceptually validate the solution at laboratory scale, as well as its integration into an IoT (Internet of Things) platform, which will facilitate the plant’s operation, maintenance and management using smart monitoring.

In addition, the challenges thrown up by its potential construction and scaling-up will be examined using an innovation process that enables the initially proposed design to be optimised.

The project will be simultaneously developed in six Spanish autonomous regions (Madrid, Canary Islands, Andalusia, Cantabria, Navarre and Catalonia), bringing about technological synergies and national scientific capabilities.

Part 2
Most recently, Intellegens, part of the first cohort to join the programme, has announced it is leading a new project in partnership with Boeing and the University of Sheffield, applying its machine learning technology to make the additive manufacturing (AM) process of metallic alloys for aerospace cheaper and faster, to support net-zero targets for aviation.

“HiiROC is proud to be selected for this important accelerator programme. As the aviation industry pursues ambitious targets for emissions reduction, hydrogen is gaining more traction and more focus,” Simon Morris, Director at HiiROC told H2 View.

“Working with the accelerator’s great team and partners, HiiROC will continue to develop its unique plasma technology, to produce low-cost, emission-free hydrogen, from single 400kg/day units to large, centralised generation solutions.”

Other startups that have joined alongside HiiROC are, Ai Build, AireXpert, Datch, Makersite, MIME Technologies, Phycobloom, Productive Machines, SensaWeb and Signol.

HiiROC joins ATI Boeing Accelerator

NEWS
UK-based green hydrogen generation technology developer HiiROC Limited is among the ten latest companies to join the ATI Boeing Accelerator, a three-month long programme that supports innovation and growth of start-ups in the UK’s aerospace ecosystem.

Announced last week (14th Jan), the start-ups for the second cohort were selected from nearly 200 applications, from more than 40 countries from Hull to Queensland, and the US to Germany.

To date, the nine companies that have been a part of the ATI Boeing Accelerator’s first cohort have raised over £8m, created more than 60 jobs, and received £1.2m in grant funding in the final quarter of 2020. They have gone on to partner with businesses including Rolls-Royce and Chevron Technology Ventures.

Thanks Dr A. 48 recs now and well deserved.

Happy with this RNS - significantly de risks the first plant
