Lower CO2 emissions and less climate impact! That will be the result as heavy vehicles are electrified. Earlier this summer, at #TOCEurope, Hyster presented the world's first zero-emission terminal tractor. The unit will be used in the Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG – and it will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells from Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC. This is an inspiring example of decarbonization in material handling – and more will follow. Hydrogen and fuel cells will change the world – one zero-emission project at a time!

📣 Last day today! - #AABCEurope Battery show 📣 Do you know about Arkema’s CNT (Carbon Nanotubes) for #batteries? For a full development in EVs, the market expects batteries with better volumetric energy densities, improved safety, longer battery life, recycling easiness, low dependency on critical materials (natural graphite, cobalt, etc.) and reasonable cost. In this respect, #carbonnanotubes (CNTs,) and in particular, #Graphistrength® Multi-Wall CNTs, are currently regarded as one of the most promising routes for the future generations of Li-ion rechargeable battery cells, which will use MWCNTs as an additive for the electrodes. MWCNTs create a mechanical, elastic and resilient network which mitigates cracks and decohesion from the collectors and, in combination with the binder, allow for an extended life cycle.  In addition to improving the electrical conductivity of electrodes, MWCNTs increase the energy storage capacity and mechanical resistance (referring to the electrode capacity to keep its integrity in terms of thickness, porosity and adhesion), which is strongly challenged during each charging/recharging cycle, and, hence, the performance and lifetime of Li-ion batteries.

The road ahead from Cummins Inc.'s Executive Director and General Manager, North America On-Highway, Jose Samperio. “Any technology that reduces emissions today and works for your business is good.” 4 considerations for fleets when adopting technology: 1) Can the technology get the job done? 2) Can my business afford it? 3) What is the fueling infrastructure? 4) What is the service infrastructure? Thank you Jose for joining us! Another thank you to #Cummins for being one of our sponsors!🤝 #marketvitals #seminar69 #seminar69marketvitals #actseminar69 #decarbonization, #heavyduty, #mediumduty, #supplychain, #trailers, #transportation, #trucking, #economics, #regulations #freight, #logistics, #ACTResearch #ACT

Green metals are a big opportunity for Australia as part of our Future Made in Australia, and it was awe inspiring to visit Salzgitter AG's massive steel plant today in central Germany, which is embarking on a remarkable transformation from traditional steelmaking to green steelmaking on the journey to net zero. Over the next nine years, Salzgitter, which is one of Germany's top steelmakers, employing 25,000 people, will gradually replace its three blast furnaces - which rely on coking coal to reduce the iron ore - with direct reduction plants using green hydrogen, and electric arc furnaces. Its first new direct reduction plant will come online in 2026, and by 2033 when all blast furnaces are gone and the facility is completely transformed, Salzgitter will be consuming 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The impetus for the change is commercial. Not only are carbon prices high and increasing, but Salzgitter's CEO, Gunnar Groebler, told us that the company's customers - who include automakers like BMW and Volvo, and appliance manufacturers like Miele - are keen to get their hands on green steel for their products. The low-carbon product comes at a premium but their customers are willing to pay it. The visit, which I did together with a very enthusiastic delegation of decarb nerds from Australia ;), Australia's new ambassador to Germany, Natasha Smith (GAICD), and the Austrade team, included a walk through of the plant's steel rolling mill. It was honestly one of the most extraordinary sights I've ever seen, and our mouths were agape as red hot slabs of freshly minted steel (~1200 degrees Celsius) - probably no more than 10 metres in length - were transformed within minutes into ~1km long strips of thinly rolled steel along a seemingly endless conveyor belt (photo below courtesy of Salzgitter AG). In my next life, I think I might like to return as an industrialist! Thanks to the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) team for organising. David Urry Eva Pannhausen Kelly Matthews. And to Salzgitter AG for so graciously hosting us.

At TOC Europe in June, visitors got a first glimpse of the zero-emission terminal tractor powered by Nuvera. Learn more in Hyster's blog post below!

Battery and hydrogen are basic ingredients of energy transition and distributed energy production.

We are excited to announce that GMH Gruppe is one of the exhibitors at Green Steel World Expo & Conference taking place together with it´s sister event Hydrogen Tech World 26 & 27 June 2024 at MESSE ESSEN GmbH GMH Gruppe´s Green Steel makes its customers' products more sustainable - thanks to climate-friendly production processes, even today: Every ton of crude steel from its electric furnaces causes 80% less CO2 emissions than comparable steel from integrated metallurgical plants. They use 100% scrap as a raw material. Their value stream saves emissions thanks to climate-friendly logistics. They are constantly adding new sustainable measures and innovative products. Above all, they have a clear, realistic roadmap for how they will produce their already low-emission steel in a completely climate-neutral way by 2039. Find out onside at our event how GMH Gruppe intends to achieve this ambitious goal and register now for the event: https://lnkd.in/eTexeFRk #Greensteel #sustainable #CO2reduction #lowemissions #energytransition

The #CatalyticConverter is a key innovation in reducing #AirPollution from gasoline or diesel cars. In an effort to applause and celebrate the work of Chemists and Engineers, here's a look at its development: Early Inventions (Late 19th Century): Prototypes emerged in France, using precious metals like platinum. Mid-20th Century: Eugene Houdry (France) patented a design, but leaded gasoline hindered its effectiveness. The 1970s: Clean Air Act (USA) spurred development. Johnson Matthey (UK) refined the technology, achieving significant emission reduction. Led-free fuels increased the pace of develop and adoption. Modern Converters: Ceramic honeycomb structures with precious metals maximize surface area for efficient conversion. Companies like JM continue to improve the technology. The catalytic converter is a testament to international collaboration in tackling environmental challenges. #AirPollution #NetZero #Catalysis

Nominated for Deutscher Zukunftspreis (Award for Innovation in Science and Technology): thyssenkrupp Rasselstein is the world's first user of a new #technology nominated for the prestigious award. Pioneer in energy-saving technologies thanks to use of innovative recuperators (heat exchangers that preheat air for combustion of natural gas). 🌱🏆 These innovative components developed by Kueppers Solutions GmbH have already been installed in one of the heating zones of a continuous annealing furnace. The result: lower #energy consumption and less CO2 emissions. The installation of these recuperators is just one part of the long-term decarbonization strategy. The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions in the production of #tinplate at the Andernach site by 400,000 tons per year. 📉 #Decarbonization #GermanFutureAward #Sustainability
