Australia successfully installed a 10kW renewable energy water electrolysis hydrogen generator
Australia's independently developed 10-kilowatt renewable energy water electrolysis hydrogen production power generation device has been successfully installed and put into operation in Neerim North, 120 kilometers east of Melbourne. Hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer Energys Australia worked closely with Telstra to complete the project. The generator was installed on one of Telstra's mobile towers and has enough green hydrogen to keep the tower running for at least 72 hours in extreme weather conditions.

Construction of Europe's first zero-carbon industrial park begins
On July 8th local time, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Envision Technology Group Chairman Zhang Lei, and Envision Power USA and Europe CEO Françoise Fonterra attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the super battery factory project to be built in Europe's first zero-carbon industrial park. The project is located in Navalmora de la Mata, Cáceres Province, western Spain. Prime Minister Sanchez said that Envision is a global leader in green technology, which has innovated and created advanced products and technologies in the fields of wind turbines, energy storage, batteries, green hydrogen and ammonia, and new power systems, and pioneered the zero-carbon industrial park model, laying the foundation for the construction of a global green industrial system.

South Korea invests 450 billion won to promote hydrogen energy projects
In order to lead the future hydrogen economy, Gangwon Province plans to invest 450 billion won in three core projects: hydrogen demonstration city, liquefied hydrogen industry free zone and hydrogen industry cluster. The hydrogen demonstration city was completed and put into operation last year. It is a residential park that can operate independently for one month without external energy supply. The liquefied hydrogen industry free zone is scheduled to start construction in November this year, covering an area of ​​269,000 square meters. The zone will promote liquefied hydrogen production projects such as liquefied hydrogen container and tanker production, as well as fixed and mobile charging stations and other projects.

Egypt signs green hydrogen project agreement with consortium of French and UAE companies
Egypt's cabinet said on Monday it had signed an agreement with a consortium of French renewable energy company EDF Renewables and Zero Waste, a joint venture between Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, to implement a project to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives, as well as green ammonia, in the Red Sea town of Ras Shukair. The cabinet said the consortium will invest a total of 7 billion euros in the three phases of the project, of which 2 billion euros will be spent on the first phase to produce 1 million tonnes of green ammonia per year.
