Collaboration on development of zero-emission hydrogen technology

Johnson Matthey (JM) has signed an agreement with Bosch, a leading supplier to the automotive industry, to develop and produce catalyst coated membranes (CCM) for use in fuel cell stacks. JM’s high performance CCMs will be used in Bosch’s integrated, compact and scalable fuel cell power module for commercial vehicles, designed for longer distances.

JM Hydrogen Technologies Chief Executive, Anish Taneja, and Bosch Mobility’s Executive Vice President of Engineering Power Solutions, Beate Grota, marked the agreement at Bosch’s fuel cell centre in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, Germany. Anish Taneja commented “JM is thrilled to be joining forces, exploring and developing future possibilities to accelerate cleaner mobility and energy generation “. Beate Grota added: “The fuel cell technology for mobile applications is technologically ready for widespread use. Our partnership aims to further increase the performance and efficiency of the fuel cell stacks.”

Green hydrogen to decarbonise Leuna refinery

TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with the German developer RWE to supply 30,000 t/a of green hydrogen to the Leuna refinery for fifteen years, beginning in 2030. The green hydrogen will be produced by a 300 MW electrolyser, built and operated by RWE in Lingen. Green hydrogen storage will be provided locally. The green hydrogen will be delivered by a 600 km pipeline to the gates of the refinery and will prevent the site’s emission of some 300,000 tons of CO2 beginning in 2030. This is the largest quantity of green hydrogen ever contracted from an electrolyser in Germany.
