[SMM Flash News] Australian Green Hydrogen Project Selects Trinasolar Technology

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.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. will build a US$27.5 million hydrogen refuelling station in Carson, California, to support the transition of public transit fleets to zero-emission fuel cell buses. The facility will be capable of dispensing up to 25,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day, making it one of the largest hydrogen bus refuelling stations in the United States. The project is expected to support California's clean transportation goals by providing hydrogen fuel for hundreds of fuel cell buses operating across the Los Angeles region.

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.
