【International】Construction of the Middle East's first high-speed hydrogen refuelling station begins

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced on 18 July that it has begun construction of the first high-speed hydrogen refuelling station in the Middle East. The station will be built in a sustainable urban neighbourhood of Masdar City, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and will produce hydrogen through an electrolysis tank powered by a "clean grid".

The construction of the hydrogen station is an important step in ADNOC's drive towards energy transition and decarbonisation goals. The company plans to have the station up and running later this year, and they also plan to build a second hydrogen station at Dubai Golf City, which will be equipped with a "conventional hydrogen fuel system".

【International】100 hydrogen-powered vehicles will be launched! Edmonton International Airport and Toyota help net-zero emissions!

Edmonton International Airport has joined forces with Toyota Canada to put 100 Toyota Mira hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) on the road in Alberta, Canada. The partnership is designed to help the airport meet its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, as well as to promote the development of Alberta's hydrogen energy ecosystem.

As the "first" hydrogen-powered, zero-emission vehicles in the Canadian province, the 100 Toyota Mira FCEVs will play an important role on Alberta's roads. These vehicles will not only provide clean transportation to airports, but will also provide a strong foundation for the local hydrogen energy ecosystem. To ensure the availability of hydrogen, Edmonton International Airport has also partnered with Air Products to set up a temporary mobile hydrogen refuelling station to refuel the fleet.
