Together, the three players have confirmed their common determination to make hydrogen mobility as widely accessible as possible. Much more than a transaction, the acquisition of the hydrogen car is symbolic of clean mobility from production to use. Lhyfe, Europe’s first producer of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, very symbolically, took possession of the keys of a NEXO, the hydrogen car from Hyundai which is a pioneer in the development of this alternative energy. Lhyfe pur...
Mohn Media, a subsidiary of the Bertelsmann Printing Group, has successfully put a waste heat module from Orcan Energy into operation at its Gütersloh location. This module converts the previously unused waste heat on-site into almost 500,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year, increases the production facility's energy efficiency, and at the same time reduces its CO2-emissions. This makes Mohn Media yet another customer who, as part of the collaboration between Orcan Energy...

As the Northern hemisphere heads into winter and people spend more time indoors, the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases will increase. The WHO states that COVID-19 is primarily spread through airborne droplets expelled when people who have the virus cough, sneeze, and talk. Enclosed spaces can therefore become hotbeds for transmission. Recent research from the University of Colorado reveals that effective ventilation is one of the most effective ways to reduce viral t...
