Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), an IT services and consulting provider, has expanded its partnership with Rolls-Royce, a British multinational specializing in civil aerospace, defence aerospace, services and power systems, to advance its sustainable initiatives. This collaboration involves research into hydrogen fuel system technology.
TCS will provide engineering skills and support to RollsRoyce as it addresses three key challenges in the journey to enabling hydrogen for use in aviation: fuel combustion, fuel delivery, and fuel systems integration with an engine. All elements must be confirmed to operate safely.
TCS will leverage its deep domain knowledge of the aircraft manufacturing industry and will support the engineering activities of Rolls-Royce such as system design, component design, supply chain support and program management. These services will help Rolls-Royce research hydrogen technology.
The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between Rolls-Royce and the Tata Group, including engines and a strong supply chain commitment. TCS has also been working with Rolls-Royce since 2010 in the areas of design, manufacturing engineering, control systems and software, after-market services as well as IT services. Having supported Rolls-Royce in major civil and business aviation programs, TCS has also supported its end-to-end product development lifecycle.
The European Court of Auditors said the European Union will likely miss its 2030 renewable hydrogen targets because the bloc’s political ambitions are not backed by solid analysis. “The auditors call for a reality check to ensure that the EU’s targets are realistic and that its strategic choices on the way ahead will not impair the competitiveness of key industries or create new dependencies,” the European institution said in a recent report.
The US Department of Energy said it has signed a $12.6 billion deal with Arches to build a hydrogen hub in California – the first of seven planned across the United States. California Governor Gavin Newsom said that hydrogen will help to decarbonize three major ports and support more than 200 cargo-handling machines, 5,000 fuel-cell trucks, 1,000 fuel-cell buses, and one marine vessel.
ZeroAvia said it will partner with Ryze to supply hydrogen for engine and flight testing at Cotswold Airport, England. This partnership will support increased hydrogen demand for the ZA600 powertrain, designed for up to 20-seat aircraft, said ZeroAvia.
Masdar said it has raised $1 billion through its second green bond issuance, divided into two $500 million tranches with five-year and 10-year tenors. It has allocated 70% to international investors and 30% to investors across the Middle East and North Africa. The funds will support equity commitments for new greenfield projects in developing economies. Masdar said aims to expand its renewable energy capacity to 100 GW by 2030 and become a leading green hydrogen producer.
