A forward-thinking group of private companies, municipalities and research organisations from across Europe have launched a new hydrogen initiative that is set to make Mallorca’s energy supply greener and help revive the local economy that has been affected by the Covid-crisis.
The project, which has been baptised “GREEN HYSLAND”, is in line with the new EU Hydrogen Strategy and will be the first Southern European Flagship project that creates an integrated ‘green hydrogen ecosystem’ in the Balearic Islands.
The project will include deployment of green hydrogen across the entire value chain in the island of Mallorca, spanning green hydrogen supply, local distribution by pipelines and road trailers and multiple end-user applications, including the fuel supply to a fleet of municipal buses and fuel cell rental vehicles, the generation of heat and power for commercial and public buildings, the su

Wonboyn, Australia – “It was about two months after the fire,” said Ian Williamson. “We’d been into town shopping. And I just collapsed on the ground crying and screaming.”
On January 4 this year, the devastating bushfires that made media headlines around the world ripped through Wonboyn, a small lakeside community on Australia’s east coast.
Williamson and his wife Munlika were protected in a fire bunker he had built on his property, but he says he has developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD as a result of the experience.
He says the devastation of the fires affected other residents as well.
