[SMM Flash News] Clean Energy Fuels to Build US$27.5 Million Hydrogen Bus Refuelling Station in California

Abu Dhabi-based Kinetic7 Technologies said hydrogen produced on demand at the point of use could strengthen energy security by reducing dependence on imported fuel, large-scale storage and centralised infrastructure. Its technology uses water and electrolysis to generate hydrogen only when required and has been incorporated into portable cooking systems and the commercial HODBox unit for hospitality and catering applications. The company is also developing a residential version initially targeting off-grid households, which could be powered by solar panels, batteries or grid electricity.

An Australian green hydrogen and ammonia project has selected Trinasolar to supply integrated solar technology for its renewable energy infrastructure. The project will utilize Trinasolar's high-efficiency PV modules and energy storage solutions to power green hydrogen and ammonia production, supporting Australia's low-carbon fuel ambitions. The collaboration highlights the growing integration of solar generation with large-scale hydrogen developments as Australia advances its clean energy industry.

Canada Nickel's Crawford nickel project in Ontario has received federal approval following the completion of Canada's impact assessment process, clearing a key regulatory milestone for project development. The Crawford project is expected to become one of the world's largest nickel operations and is the first mining project approved under Canada's 2019 Impact Assessment Act. The company estimates the mine will have a 41-year operating life and play a strategic role in supplying low-carbon nickel for the electric vehicle battery and stainless steel industries.
