Keanu Reeves is a true dogs lover 🥰🥰
This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.

H2-View News: Hydrogen trucking could be competitive with diesel by 2030 with policy support, says whitepaper 15/09/2022

H2-View News: Hydrogen trucking could be competitive with diesel by 2030 with policy support, says whitepaper: The whitepaper stresses that the deployment of hydrogen trucking must start now, and rapidly ramp-up if Net Zero targets are to be achieved by 2050, with an onus on ensuring that the demand for hydrogen-powered trucks increases with time.

Formed by Linde, OMV, Shell, TotalEnergies, Daimler Truck, IVECO, and Volvo Group, the H2Accelerate collaboration hopes to promote the use of hydrogen in the decarbonisation of long-haul, heavy-duty trucking across Europe.

According to the collaboration, demand will be best built through a partnership seeing the private sector making major investments in R&D, production facilities, and green hydrogen infrastructure, whilst the public sector creates the conditions to stimulate the deployment of the trucks.

Through a total cost of ownership (TCO) assessment of operating a fuel cell and diesel truck over time by Element Energy, the whitepaper has suggested that in the early years when deployment volumes of hydrogen trucks are low, the cost differential to diesel will be high, and therefore sees a requirement for capital subsides for trucks and early refuelling stations.

Furthering this, the assessment recognised that as costs begin to fall, public support can decrease in parallel, which eventually would remove the need for direct subsidy.

Commenting on the whitepaper’s finding, Ben Madden, Director at Element Energy and Spokesperson for H2Accelerate, said, “Truck and station manufacturers are ready and willing to invest in hydrogen trucking. Our analysis clearly shows however that this alone will not be sufficient if long-haul trucking is to continue to achieving Net Zero by 2050.

“State support is critical to achieving the cost reductions needed to enable customers to purchase hydrogen truck in meaningful numbers.”

Element has said that the following policy implementations would create the conditions for a thriving hydrogen truck market in Europe:

EU member state implementation of a favourable Renewable Energy Directive (RED) II framework for hydrogen is essential. With the addition of RED III proposals to see green hydrogen treated like advanced biofuels

Introduction of a road toll of €0.40/km for diesel vehicles and €0.10/km for zero-emission vehicles to help create demand for hydrogen trucks.

Taxation of fuels which recognises the changing landscape towards more decarbonised and zero carbon fuels and zero emission vehicles, which does not disadvantage hydrogen and other sustainable fuels until their business case is established.

A carbon tax on diesel starting at a minimum of €30/tonne CO2 and increasing through time to a minimum of €60/tonne, in addition to the tax currently applied on diesel today.

RED II was passed by the European Parliament on Wednesday (September 14), ahead of European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, announcing details of the creation of the ‘European Hydrogen Bank’ which promises to invest €3bn to develop the hydrogen market.

H2-View News: Freudenberg and ZF Friedrichshafen team up to develop fuel cells for trucks and coaches 15/09/2022

H2-View News: Freudenberg and ZF Friedrichshafen team up to develop fuel cells for trucks and coaches: The first prototype vehicles are expected to hit the roads in 2023, if not before, with the start of series production scheduled shortly afterwards.

The ‘long term’ agreement follows both firms embarking on the ‘HyFleet’ research project last year, to develop a fuel cell drive for long-distance bus platforms.

While the initial focus is on truck and bus applications, it could be extended to rail, construction and agricultural vehicles and marine applications – possibly powering passenger ships on the open seas.

Dr. Mohsen Sohi, CEO of the Freudenberg Group, said it is investing heavily in the mobility of the future, specifically battery, hydrogen and fuel cell technology, and the agreement combines both firms’ experience and technology know-how.

Wilhelm Rehm, ZF Board Member with responsibility for Commercial Vehicle Solutions, Industrial Technology and Materials Management, said fuel cell technology will be a ‘game changer’.

“Together with Freudenberg, we can offer a ‘one stop shop’ solution enabling manufacturers to quickly bring e-mobility solutions to market and support the industry’s transformation to a more sustainable future.”

While passenger cars run for about 8,000 hours during their lifetimes, trucks spend at least 35,000 hours on the road.

Dr. Max Kley, CEO of Freudenberg e-Power Systems, said, “Our goal is to design the fuel cell battery drive system for a long service life and real-world heavy-duty profiles.”

H2-View News: ‘Historic day’ for hydrogen in Europe 14/09/2022

H2-View News: ‘Historic day’ for hydrogen in Europe: European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen announced today (September 14) that the commission has created a new ‘European Hydrogen Bank’ to invest €3bn ($2.9bn) to help develop the hydrogen market.

President von der Leyen announced the news at the annual State of the European Union speech where she told the European Parliament, that this was how the economy of the future will be built.

“Hydrogen can change the situation completely for Europe. We need to move from a niche market to a mass market for hydrogen,” said von der Leyen, “With REPowerEU we have renewed our goals. We want to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen a year by 2030. To achieve that, we need to create a new hydrogen market to fill the investment gap, and to match supply and demand for the future.

“Today, I will be announcing that we have created a new European Hydrogen Bank. This will help to guarantee the supply of hydrogen. Using money from the innovation fund, it will be able to invest €3bn to help to construct a future hydrogen market. That is how we will build the economy of the future. That is the green deal.”

Additionally, earlier today, the European Parliament voted to commit to an ambitious binding renewable energy target, as well as simplifying the regulatory framework. The plenary vote on the Renewable Energy Directive II (REDII) has committed the parliament to an overall renewable energy contribution of 45% to the total energy mix by 2030.

In May the European Commission unveiled its REPowerEUplan which will see the EU strive to achieve a supply of 20 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, with 10 million to be produced domestically, and importing the remaining 10 million tonnes.

Industry reaction

Hydrogen industry association, Hydrogen Europe has praised the moves, with its CEO saying it was a historic day for the sector. Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, said, “This is yet another historical day for the hydrogen sector in Europe and globally.

“These binding targets on renewable hydrogen, and the creation of a simpler framework, are strong signals from the EU institutions to ensure the scale up of a hydrogen economy and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. We need to bring production and demand into a right balance, and the new European Hydrogen Bank is the right instrument under which to do so.”

Eugene McKenna, Hydrogen Strategy Director at Johnson Matthey, said the formation of the new bank will encourage countries to invest in hydrogen.

“The hydrogen bank should reduce cost and risk for countries looking to invest in and build hydrogen ecosystems. Given we have key existing technology to contribute to and enable this ecosystem buildout, this is a significant step, especially at a time when Europe faces an unprecedented energy crisis,” said McKenna.

H2-View News: Topsoe and First Ammonia join forces to produce green ammonia from 2025 14/09/2022

H2-View News: Topsoe and First Ammonia join forces to produce green ammonia from 2025: Topsoe’s solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOEC) will be installed in First Ammonia’s green ammonia plants globally with operations scheduled to start from 2025.

The agreement – among the largest electrolysed reservation of any type – covers the production of industrial scale SOECs to produce green ammonia for transport, power storage and generation, and fertiliser, displacing almost 5 bcm of natural gas and saving 13m tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.

It provides for an initial purchase of 500MW of SOEC units and is expandable to up to 5GW over the agreement’s lifetime.

The first 500 MW of capacity will be installed in green ammonia plants in Northern Germany and Southwestern United States.

Topsoe’s SOEC manufacturing plant is to be built in Herning, Denmark, and has recently received FID from the board. First Ammonia will operate all its plants to support existing renewable power markets.

Joel Moser, CEO of First Ammonia, said it has the “utmost confidence” in Topsoe and its storied scientists and engineers, which is why we have chosen Topsoe as our partner.

Moser said it will develop facilities around the world to produce “millions of tonnes” of green ammonia from water and air.

He added that, just as ammonia saved humanity from starvation a century ago as a replacement for depleted sources of fertilisers, it can save humanity once again as the workhorse of the hydrogen economy, replacing petrochemicals to decarbonise agriculture, transportation and power storage and generation.

Roeland Baan, CEO of Topsoe, said, “We need to accelerate the development and industrialisation of sustainable solutions, while also increasing energy independence, which is why we are delighted to partner with First Ammonia on the global development of its green ammonia facilities.”

Sundus Cordelia Ramli, Chief Commercial Officer for Power to X at Topsoe, said the agreement leverages Topsoe’s 80-plus years of ammonia experience and is evidence of the many benefits of SOEC, including lowering project costs as the most efficient electrolyser technology.

Green ammonia has the highest volumetric energy density out of all the hydrogen-based energy sources – much more than pure hydrogen – which makes it cheap and easy to store and transport.

With an existing global ammonia infrastructure, green ammonia can quickly and easily replace hydrocarbon-based fuels for a wide range of use cases, with ammonia fueled ships already on order and ammonia power stations under development.

By operating dynamically producing ammonia during off-peak power demand hours, First Ammonia will be a net contributor to the economics of renewable power production, providing for the further build-out of additional renewable power wherever they build a production plant.

Shipping emits over 1bn tonnes of CO2 each year and ammonia production emits another 500m. Together, they account for 5% of the world’s annual CO2 footprint.

KBR was recently awarded a study to develop a carbon-neutral, green ammonia-based power system for a semi-submersible drilling unit owned by Odfjell. KBR will collaborate with Odfjell, Equinor and Wärtsilä to assess conversion of the diesel generators on board drilling units to ammonia-fuelled generators.

The green ammonia market, valued at around $35m in 2021, is projected to have a CAGR of 71% in the following five years.

H2-View News: Solaris unveils Urbino 18 hydrogen bus 14/09/2022

H2-View News: Solaris unveils Urbino 18 hydrogen bus: As with the 12m version, the main energy source in the new 18-metre model is hydrogen, and responds to growing market demand for larger zero-emission buses.

The bus will be able to cover about 350 km on a single refill in various weather conditions.

Solaris’s new vehicle, powered by fuel cells, doesn’t feature a conventional engine compartment as it has been equipped with a modular drive system. The space saved allowed the bus maker to increase the vehicle’s passenger capacity and provided more rooftop space, where composite light hydrogen tanks with a total capacity of 51.2kg are mounted.

The use of a modular drive also facilitates servicing as its main components are now accessible from floor level.

The electricity from the hydrogen fuel cell is transferred directly to the driveline. Solaris batteries with a capacity of around 60 kWh, mounted in the vehicle serve as an auxiliary power source, used, for example, during acceleration as well as a storage for recovered energy. Full refuelling of the vehicle takes around 20 minutes.

The latest model can be type-approved as a class II vehicle, which makes it possible to deploy it on inter-city routes.

The first deliveries will be from the second quarter of 2023, and vehicles can be customised to four door arrangements (2-2-2-0, 1-2-2-0, 1-2-2-2 and 2-2-2-2).

As standard, the new model will feature an air-conditioning system for the passenger compartment with a heat pump, which uses heat drawn in from outside to create the right vehicle temperature.

The air conditioning in the driver’s cabin is powered by the passenger compartment unit. Customers may choose from a variety of solutions, for example, they may opt for ADAS, i. e. advanced drivers assistance systems such as MirrorEye or MobilEye Shield+.

The short version was launched in 2019. Since then, nearly 100 hydrogen buses have already been delivered to customers in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Poland. New deliveries to clients in Spain, France, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, amongst other countries, will start soon.

H2-View News: Port of Los Angeles announces $5m incentives for zero-emission trucks 14/09/2022

H2-View News: Port of Los Angeles announces $5m incentives for zero-emission trucks: It marks the first in a series of incentive programs that will be funded by the port’s recently enacted Clean Truck Fund (CTF).

The voucher program uses California’s existing Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) funding application process to provide incentive funding of $150,000 toward eligible zero-emission truck purchases servicing the San Pedro Bay port complex.

Los Angles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the port isn’t solely an economic driver but must also show environmental stewardship and prosperity go hand-in-hand.

He said, “As we continue to move record cargo, the need for zero-emission solutions has never been more clear – and working in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, we will continue to forge ahead with our work to clean our air and accelerate our transition to zero-emission technologies.”

Investment in the Clean Truck Fund started in April and it is expected to generate $45m annually , said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. It is the first of many funding initiatives the port is planning.

Last November, the Los Angeles Harbor Commission authorised the collection of $10 per Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) from cargo owners on loaded containers from diesel-powered drayage trucks entering and exiting the port.

The CTF Rate is a key component of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan goal of 100% zero-emission drayage trucks by 2035.

Launched by the California Air Resources Board, HVIP is part of California Climate Investments. Funding is administered by CALSTART, the current HVIP administrator, on a first-come, first-served basis through the existing HVIP voucher request process.

Voucher requests for the $5m will follow HVIP requirements, including the eligible trucks and dealers listed at californiahvip.org.

Additional allocations from the Clean Truck Fund are expected to be made available later this year.

The busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere, the Port of Los Angeles is North America’s leading trade gateway and has ranked as the number one container port in the United States for 22 consecutive years.

In 2021, the Port facilitated $294bn in trade and handled a total of 10.7m container units, the busiest calendar year in the Port’s 115-year history.

San Pedro Bay port complex operations and commerce facilitate one in nine jobs across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.

Southern California Gas Co. recently announced a ‘multi-million-dollar collaboration’ with Landi Renzo USA for 200 new Ford F-250 service pickup trucks to join the utilities fleet. The trucks will be converted to run on renewable natural gas (RNG).

Transportation (27%) is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, with light duty vehicles (57%) and medium- and heavy-duty trucks (26%) the largest sectors by source.
