The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 240 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite pulled back 0.6% from its own record. Nvidia’s fall of 2.5% was by far the heaviest weight on the S&P 500 after China said it’s investigating the company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. Nvidia has skyrocketed to become one of Wall Street’s most valuable companies because its chips are driving much of the world’s move into artificial-intelligence technology. That gives its stock’s movements more sway on the S&P 500 than nearly every other. Nvidia’s drop overshadowed gains in Hong Kong and for Chinese stocks trading in the United States on hopes that China will deliver more stimulus for the world’s second-largest economy. Roughly three in seven of the stocks in the S&P 500 also rose. The week’s highlight for Wall Street will arrive midweek when the latest updates on inflation arrive. Economists expect Wednesday’s report to show the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling remained stuck at close to the same level last month. A separate report on Thursday, meanwhile, could show an acceleration in inflation at the wholesale level. They’re the last big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week on interest rates. The widespread expectation is still that the central bank will cut its main interest rate for the third time this year. The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to offer more help for the slowing job market, after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower interest rates can ease the brakes off the economy, but they can also offer more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts from the Fed have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set so many all-time highs this year. “Investors should enjoy this rally while it lasts—there’s little on the horizon to disrupt the momentum through year-end,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, though he warns stocks could stumble soon because of how overheated they’ve gotten. On Wall Street, Interpublic Group rose 3.6% after rival Omnicom said it would buy the marketing and communications firm in an all-stock deal. The pair had a combined revenue of $25.6 billion last year. Omnicom, meanwhile, sank 10.2%. Macy’s climbed 1.8% after an activist investor, Barington Capital Group, called on the retailer to buy back at least $2 billion of its own stock over the next three years and make other moves to help boost its stock price. Super Micro Computer rose 0.5% after saying it got an extension that will keep its stock listed on the Nasdaq through Feb. 25, as it works to file its delayed annual report and other required financial statements. Earlier this month, the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board following the resignation of its public auditor . All told, the S&P 500 fell 37.42 points to 6,052.85. The Dow dipped 240.59 to 4,401.93, and the Nasdaq composite lost 123.08 to 19,736.69. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rallied 1.7% to settle at $68.37 following the overthrow of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, who sought asylum in Moscow after rebels. Brent crude, the international standard, added 1.4% to $72.14 per barrel. The price of gold also rose 1% to $2,685.80 per ounce amid the uncertainty created by the end of the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. In stock markets abroad, the Hang Seng jumped 2.8% in Hong Kong after top Chinese leaders agreed on a “moderately loose” monetary policy for the world’s second-largest economy. That’s a shift away from a more cautious, “prudent” stance for the first time in 10 years. A major planning meeting later this week could also bring more stimulus for the Chinese economy. U.S.-listed stocks of several Chinese companies climbed, including a 12.4% jump for electric-vehicle company Nio and a 7.4% rise for Alibaba Group. Stocks in Shanghai, though, were roughly flat. In Seoul, South Korea’s Kospi slumped 2.8% as the fallout continues from President Yoon Suk Yeol ’s brief declaration of martial law last week in the midst of a budget dispute. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.19% from 4.15% late Friday. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.

Despite the excitement surrounding the update, some players seemed to be stuck in the past, questioning whether "Black Myth: Wukong" would be available on Xbox. This led to a wave of humorous reactions from other gamers, with many pointing out that the game had already been released on Xbox and urging the doubtful players to catch up with the latest news.Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on December 30Just weeks after voters cast ballots in a presidential election many described as the most critical of their lifetime, another highly anticipated contest looms. Two candidates — both political newcomers — have jumped in, announcing they intend to enter the 2025 race to be the next mayor of Santa Fe. Tarin Nix, a political consultant and deputy commissioner of public affairs for the State Land Office, has launched an initiative called "Fix Our City Different," which she describes as a precursor to a mayoral campaign. Meanwhile, Oscar Rodriguez, a former Taos town manager and Santa Fe finance director, announced his candidacy this week in an op-ed published in The New Mexican . But current elected officials, some of whom have been named as potential mayoral candidates or have expressed interest in the race, remain reluctant to publicly declare whether they have decided to run. Some said in September they were focused on the general election and weren't yet prepared to make a decision about next year's municipal election. One of them was Mayor Alan Webber, who is in his second term. Asked recently if he plans to seek a third term in office, Webber said it was still too early to comment. "We're still recovering from the general election," he said. Official filing deadlines for the 2025 local election won't come until summer. If Webber chooses to run, however, other contenders likely will need a significant amount of time to raise campaign funds and build name recognition. In 2021, Webber raised almost $500,000 — a record for the office. Rodriguez said in an interview he chose to declare his candidacy for mayor now because he believes he will need a long runway to get his name out there. "I just don't have the level of ID that others might have, particularly those who are on the [City] Council already," he said. City Councilor Carol Romero-Wirth — whose District 2 seat also is up for election in November 2025 — declined to comment in September on whether she plans to seek the higher office; like Webber, she cited a focus on the general election. She did not respond to multiple requests for comment this week on whether she plans to run for reelection or make a bid for mayor. Fellow District 2 Councilor Michael Garcia, who's political future has been the subject of significant speculation, said in September he was "seriously considering running" for mayor. More recently, however, he said it was too early for him to discuss any plans. Garcia, reelected to a second term in November 2023, wouldn't have to give up his council seat to run for mayor. In a statement last week, Garcia said it was an "honor" to be discussed as a potential candidate. "I will always fight to ensure that residents have a local government that represents them and their interests," he said. "I am still in the process of taking the necessary time with my family to make this important decision." Nix and Rodriguez have both framed their decision to enter the mayor's race around a desire to improve what they described as inadequate or failing city services. Nix released a video earlier this month detailing her Fix Our City Different initiative and describing what she sees as problems with city services as stemming from "a lack of will." "A majority of our issues could have been solved with real leadership and common sense," she said. Rodriguez wrote in his op-ed his campaign that getting basic city services right "only improves the quality of life of our community, it also builds the muscle to tackle bigger, more complex issues." He said in an interview he hopes people will be ready for a race focused on issues. He cited a quote from famed Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. After taking over the team, Lombardi said he would turn it around not by making drastic changes or replacing the players but by becoming "brilliant at the basics." Rodriguez said the city needs more focus on maintenance and a system for addressing potholes and other problems as they arise. "A big part of delivering quality services is to prevent problems coming up in the first place," he said. He also expressed concern about high-level job vacancies at the city, which currently lacks a permanent city manager and community development director. Rodriguez served as the city's finance director for nearly two years, leaving in 2016 for a new job at the New Mexico Finance Authority, where he has remained since then. He believes he would be able to hit the ground running. "I'm confident I would be able to step into this role and make a significant immediate impact on morale, on transparency in the organization, on the quality of the services, etc.," he said. Nix had similar sentiments about improving city services. "If we can't do the basic functions of City Hall — which are infrastructure, roads, transportation, public safety, public health — then how do we get to really big ideas that move our community forward?" she said in an interview. She pointed to a recent, brief lapse of the city's contract with the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society as evidence the city would be "hard-pressed" to say it is delivering basic services. She said the response to Fix Our City Different has been positive. "I think people are ready for a change." A website for the initiative will publish weekly videos about different issues affecting Santa Fe and allow people to self-report problems with things like sewer lines, roads, noise and light pollution. "The whole premise is that this is not political," Nix said. "This is really about how you deliver good government, and if you do it correctly, there shouldn't be this political undertone that exists right now in our city." Four city councilors' seats are also up for election in November. So far, only District 3 Councilor Lee Garcia has said he plans to run again. Signe Lindell in District 1, Romero-Wirth in District 2 and Amanda Chavez in District 4 did not respond to requests for comment. Some people who ran unsuccessfully for council seats in 2023 signaled they may be open to running again. Joel Nava, who lost a District 4 challenge against Councilor Jamie Cassutt, said he is exploring the possibility of another run but probably won't make a decision until spring. "I'm still disappointed with this administration, and I do feel that change is still needed, now more than ever," he said. Katherine Rivera, one of four candidates in last year's District 1 race, said she is exploring the possibility of running again and will make a decision in the new year. "I am definitely a potential candidate," Rivera said. Brian Gutierrez, a District 1 contender in both 2021 and 2023, said his decision will hinge on who else declares a candidacy. "If there’s a good candidate out there, then I will stay out. If nothing looks appealing, then I’ll probably throw my hat in the ring," he said Monday. He added, "I’m hoping somebody good jumps in, because I’m busy." Geno Zamora, the district's best-funded candidate in 2023, who lost to Alma Castro, said it's "too early to know anything." Phil Lucero, who ran unsuccessfully against Michael Garcia in District 2 last year, declined to comment.

In the final push to defeat Nazi Germany during World War II, Edward Gorski Jr. was trying to shield himself inside a foxhole when the 19-year-old Chicagoan was struck by enemy fire. Gorski, a broad-shouldered Army private with a rugged face, was hit with mortar shrapnel after a fellow soldier in a nearby trench lit a fire for warmth, accidentally revealing their position to German forces. It was May 2, 1945, days after Adolf Hitler’s suicide and days before the end of the war in Europe. The shrapnel struck Gorski in the face, and he nearly lost an eye, but he survived to share some wartime stories — including how he earned a Purple Heart for his combat injuries. “He said you’d see bullets flying, especially at night, and you’d hear them zip,” said a son, Scott Gorski, 62, of North Carolina. “He told me as long as you hear them, you’re fine. It’s when you don’t hear the bullet, that’s when you’re hit.” His father died in early 1993 after suffering a massive heart attack in his Westmont home. The retired private security captain had turned 67 one month earlier. Another son, David, said that after his father’s death he put the Purple Heart and other medals in a bank safe-deposit box but eventually lost track of the box after he moved out of state and the bank closed or merged with another institution. The family assumed the contents of the safe-deposit box were gone forever until a recent December day when the Tribune tracked them down to say that their father’s medals, including the Purple Heart, had ended up in the unclaimed property section of the Illinois treasurer’s office. The office had preserved the medals in a Springfield vault since Oct. 30, 2003, when a Darien bank turned them over as contents from an abandoned safe-deposit box. Treasurer Michael Frerichs is the state’s official custodian of unclaimed property, which includes everything from bank accounts and insurance policies to stamps, baseball cards, jewelry and coins. An estimated $2 billion in forgotten cash and stock has been returned to individuals, employers and nonprofits during Frerichs’ three terms, according to his office. Military medals are often difficult to return because the name under which the property was submitted may not correspond to the name of the honoree. A Purple Heart has no engravings that would identify the recipient or the conflict in which it was awarded. And neither the Armed Forces nor the federal government maintains a comprehensive list. The treasurer launched a special effort, “Operation Purple Heart,” in late 2021 to raise awareness about unclaimed medals. On Veterans Day weekend, the Tribune detailed its efforts to help identify the veterans who earned 11 Purple Hearts that sat unclaimed in the treasurer’s vault. After four months of research, the Tribune succeeded in nine of the outstanding cases. Frerichs gave one of the Purple Hearts to a Decatur woman last fall, the 12th he has returned during his time in office. Two more families have filed claims for medals since the Tribune wrote about their cases. But the safe-deposit boxes connected to Gorski and another man, Robert Cawthon, remained a mystery. The Tribune continued digging and, with the help of researchers at the National Archives and Records Administration in St. Louis, unearthed Gorski’s discharge papers from nearly 80 years ago. The documents confirmed he earned the same five military decorations — including the Purple Heart and a blue combat infantryman badge — as those in the treasurer’s vault. Scott and David Gorski said their father was proud of his military service. They hope to honor his wishes by giving the medals to Scott’s oldest son, Shawn, also an Army veteran. ‘A man’s man’ Edward Gorski Jr. voluntarily enlisted in the Army in April 1944, months after his 18th birthday. The oldest child of working-class parents, he grew up on Chicago’s North Side near Wrigley Field. Tall and muscular, he and his brothers looked like their own football team, Scott Gorski said. He wasn’t surprised his father volunteered to serve. “He was a man’s man — there’s no doubt about it,” he said. “I remember my dad saying, ‘Scott, the most important thing about it is keeping the battle on their soil, not ours.’ He said, ‘When you have a battle on your soil, you’ve got a lot more casualties and a lot more problems. It just makes sense to bring the fight to them and away from our families.’” The military records confirm some of Gorski’s stories. The infantryman and his battalion pushed from France through the Rhineland toward Austria, facing brutal cold, sleep deprivation and days of bloody, ruthless fighting. He survived significant combat, including a battle in Germany where he was struck by shrapnel in the face and body. Though he shielded his family from the atrocities he experienced at war, Scott Gorski said his father told him the hardest experiences were the casualties of men in his battalion, including being forced to leave them behind, and when he witnessed the suffering of children. “The biggest thing to him was some of the things he saw with poverty and kids during the war,” Scott Gorski said. “He remembers seeing a child eating grease in the back of a diner ... just scooping grease out of a bin and taking a sugar packet and pouring sugar on it just so he could get it down.” Gorski said his father told him he’d often share his military rations, such as peaches or chocolate bars. There was one story about a lighter moment that still makes Scott Gorski smile. After a relentless night of combat, as Edward Gorski and his fellow soldiers made their way through Austria, they spotted children sledding on a snowy hill. Ignoring his lieutenant’s command to push on, the soldier driving the truck carrying Gorski stopped to allow the men to run up and down the hill, each taking his turn sledding. “All they had seen was nothing but fighting,” the son said. “He said it made them feel normal for a change.” He said her father’s dedication to his country and fellow soldiers is inspiring. “I couldn’t imagine being that age and making those kinds of decisions every moment of the day while just trying to stay alive,” Scott Gorski said. “He said you really got to have guys who are looking out for each other, and obviously they did because he said a lot of his guys made it back. Some obviously didn’t.” Indulgent grandpa As Edward Gorski fought overseas, his girlfriend, Evelyn, worked long hours at a Chicago parachute factory, according to David Gorski, 68, who now lives in Wisconsin. “They were sweethearts,” he said. “I bet every night she went to bed wondering if he was all right. My mother put herself to work as much as her body could handle so she wouldn’t think about it.” Edward Gorski returned to Chicago after being honorably discharged in November 1945. He had earned a Purple Heart, a European-African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with two bronze service stars, a combat infantryman badge, and the good conduct and World War II victory medals, according to his discharge records. He and Evelyn exchanged vows in a Presbyterian church the following September. David Gorski said his mother had saved her paychecks to help the young couple begin their lives as husband and wife. They started a family on Chicago’s North Side but eventually moved to suburban DuPage County. They lived mostly paycheck to paycheck, with Evelyn staying home to raise their daughter and four sons while working part time selling Avon beauty products. Gorski worked for a while as a welder but eventually switched careers to private security. He worked 13-hour shifts, six days a week, for many years, David Gorski said. On some weekends, Gorski took his family on excursions to the Wisconsin Dells, to Springfield or into Chicago for a hot dog at Jimmy’s Red Hots, for a Cubs game or to catch perch at his favorite fishing spot, “the horseshoe” near Montrose Harbor on Lake Michigan. Scott Gorski said his dad “never met a stranger,” at times opening his home to a neighborhood kid in need. His patriotic dad played cards with other veterans at local VFW or American Legion halls and put Scott through scouting, helping troop members earn their safety badges by teaching target practice with rifles he acquired for the task. “There was nothing he wouldn’t sacrifice for us,” his son said. Years later, after he retired, Edward Gorski often babysat his first grandchild, Shawn, who is Scott’s oldest child. Edward and Shawn shared the same birth date, Jan. 9. Shawn Gorski, of Geneva, told the Tribune his grandpa “stepped in” at a crucial time after his parents divorced. Edward took Shawn to fish for bluegills, to play tennis at the courts outside his apartment and for regular trips to Lincoln Park Zoo. He also dutifully attended Shawn’s football games and came along for a trip to Disney World in Florida when Shawn was about 5. “I think he just knew that he needed to be there for me,” said Gorski, 39. Shawn was barely 8 years old when his grandfather died. He still remembers when his mother, Lora Oldham, broke the news to him after he returned home from school. Gorski said he instantly knew his grandfather was gone before his mother spoke the words. At the services, Oldham said, a woman turned to her son and told him: “You were the apple of your grandpa’s eyes.” “And Shawn just started bawling,” she said. “He was always so good to Shawn.” After college, inspired to serve his country after the 9/11 attacks, Shawn Gorski followed in his grandpa’s footsteps and joined the Army. Gorski said he served from 2009 to 2013 as a signal officer in Germany training soldiers on communications before they were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. He said his grandfather was “my buddy, for sure.” “He was incredibly patient and fun,” Gorski said. “It was literally my rules. He had multiple heart attacks and, I think, he knew he wasn’t going to live long and so just kind of let it be, you know, just enjoyed it.” Lost valor Edward Gorski had a scar shaped like a half “C” beneath his left eye that served as a daily reminder of what he survived during World War II. He also had his medals, which his son Scott said his father kept in a metal Band-Aid tin in his bedroom nightstand. “I think it meant a lot to him,” the son said. “It showed him he wasn’t going to run from something.” Scott assumed the medals were long lost, not realizing his brother David had put them in a bank after their father’s death. “I set the deposit box up because I wanted to keep them safe for my parents’ oldest grandson,” David said. “My dad expressed when he was alive and Shawn was very young that he wanted them to go to him.” David Gorski moved to central Wisconsin nearly 25 years ago with his mother and eventually lost track of the box. The medals ended up in Illinois’ unclaimed property section in late 2003. The only information the state had was David’s name and a post office box address in Darien. After researching several families with the same Polish moniker and connections to the western suburbs, the Tribune identified the correct Gorski through obituaries, old addresses, military records and other public documents. One of the records confirmed that David Gorski once held a P.O. box with the same address as the one the bank provided. The family didn’t know about the treasurer’s “Operation Purple Heart” campaign. Scott moved to North Carolina the year before his father died. Evelyn, David and an older brother were in Wisconsin. Another brother died in 1995. A sister lived in Florida until recently. Scott Gorski said he plans to file a claim, with David’s help, to get back their father’s medals and give them to Shawn. Edward Gorski is buried at Elm Lawn Memorial Park in Elmhurst. Sadly, his widow died weeks before the Tribune contacted the family with information about her husband’s long-lost medals. Evelyn Gorski, who never remarried, died on Oct. 8 in Wausau, Wisconsin. She was 99. More than 30 years after her husband’s death, she is now buried alongside him. Their shared grave marker includes an emblem of a cross, an open Bible and the words “together forever.” Anyone with information about a Purple Heart return, particularly a safe-deposit box connected to Robert Cawthon, is urged to contact the Illinois treasurer’s office at claimantconnect@illinoistreasurer.gov .

The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies passed a bill on Thursday containing provisions allowing the chemical castration of individuals convicted of pedophilia. The chemical castration provisions were introduced as an amendment to a broader piece of legislation that calls for the creation of a national registry of pedophiles. The amendment was reportedly introduced by lawmaker Ricardo Salles of the libertarian Novo party, who argued that the state has the duty to adopt “firm and effective measures to prevent the recurrence of these crimes.” The bill, reportedly passed with 267 yeas to 85 nays, was sent to the Brazilian Senate for debate. If approved by the Senate and signed into law, authorities will create a national “pedophile registry” that will include the convicted person’s information and photograph. The registry will be managed by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) and will be publicly available on the internet. The provisions introduced by the amendment state that, in addition to a prison sentence, individuals with a definitive and unappealable final conviction for crimes such as the distribution of child pornography, solicitation of minors, rape, and child prostitution, will be chemically castrated with libido-inhibiting drugs administered under terms established by the Brazilian Health Ministry. According to local media , the Brazilian government “advised against” the proposed amendments, while parties such as the Liberal Party (PL) led by former President Jair Bolsonaro and Novo advised lawmakers to vote in favor of the amendments. Lawmakers reportedly debated the proposal for over an hour amid “bickering and accusations.” Lawmakers who voted against the proposal reportedly argued that chemical castration “has no effect on reducing cases of pedophilia” and that the amendments could end up blocking the bill calling for the creation of the national pedophile registry. In contrast, lawmakers who voted in favor reportedly stated that they “valued the rights of children and teenagers and not the defense of criminals.” Brazilian lawmaker Luiz Rima of the PL party reportedly stated on Thursday that “those who vote yes are voting in favor of human beings, children, and life. Those who vote no are showing kindness and forgiving one of the most heinous crimes against humanity.” Leftist lawmaker Lídice da Mata of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) reportedly expressed her rejection of the chemical castration provisions during the plenary debate. Da Mata argued that chemical castration “will not contribute to the protection of children and adolescents, since pedophiles can use other means, including virtual ones, to commit sexual violence against children and teenagers.” “Rape today takes place in different ways. There is even virtual rape. Therefore, solving the penis issue, as some say here, doesn’t solve the rapist’s head or his ability to hurt a child,” da Mata said. “When, however, a child is raped and becomes pregnant by the rapist, most of them defend forcing the child to become a mother.” The national pedophile registry bill and the amendments with provisions for the chemical castration of convicted pedophiles were debated by the members of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies as part of a “ public safety week ,” which saw the lawmakers dedicate this week’s agenda on debating 18 bills and proposals related to public safety. Other public safety-related bills reportedly passed by Brazilian lawmakers throughout the week include changes to the civil code to require drunk drivers or those under the influence of drugs to pay in full for damages caused to the victim as well as a pension payment if the accident caused the victim to suffer an injury that results in a partial or total reduction in the victim’s ability to work. The lawmakers also reportedly passed a bill that calls for the creation of a National Registry for Monitoring Criminal Factions shared among all branches of the Brazilian government, while another bill calls for the creation of a “proven flagrant” status, a term that would be applied to a suspect if the individual is found within 24 hours of the crime and is recognized by the victim or a third party who identifies the suspect through a video or photo of the criminal action, in addition to other elements.

This special fire safety test is a mandatory test to obtain type approval from the Federal Motor Transport Authority in order to ensure the safety of hydrogen tanks in road traffic. In the Bonfire test, the tank is confronted with extreme conditions. The tank, which must be filled with liquid hydrogen (-253°C), is exposed to a fire with a temperature of up to 1000°C. This fire must act on the test specimen over the entire projected tank surface. In the course of the test, a situation (e.g. accident) is simulated in which the vehicle is exposed to an intense fire. The aim is to check whether the tank can withstand the high temperatures and whether inadmissible overpressure can be avoided. This is done by controlled, safer blowing off of hydrogen via the safety devices installed on the tank. The SAG LH2 tank was subjected to this fire load for more than two hours, without the tank showing any structural damage and the internal pressure was only close to the level to activate the installed safety devices. Therefore, the vacuum insulation of the tank system was actively damaged (“broken”) by the experts carrying out the test in order to check the function of the safety valves. It was impressively demonstrated that the developing excess pressure could be dissipated absolutely safely and in a controlled manner via the safety devices. Thanks to the intensive cooperation with TÜV Rheinland in the preparation of the setting and in the execution of the test, it was possible to meet the requirements of the newly created, complex regulations. Based on Implementation Regulation (EU) Nr. 2021/535, the SAG LH2 tank system has been classified as safe in the event of an accident with fire Project Manager Cryogenic Storage Systems at , commented on the positive test result: “Subsequently, the safety valves discharged the stored hydrogen in a controlled manner. We are more than satisfied with the result and can take away important learnings for the further development of our tank system. The same applies to the test procedures, as we are currently taking on a pioneering role in carrying out these tests.” Conducting the Bonfire test was associated with considerable challenges. Since there are still no “mobile” LH2 refuelling facilities on the market, the LH2 filling was carried out together with SAG partners. The production of the prescribed test conditions was monitored by TÜV Rheinland and their correctness was also confirmed. Finally, the Bonfire test took place at a test site near Paderborn, Germany – the first of its kind to be carried out in connection with hydrogen liquid storage tank systems in accordance with the normative specifications, supervised by TÜV Rheinland and also metrologically verified. With the successful passing of the Bonfire test, the SAG LH2 tank system has gone through the last outstanding test for the granting of type approval in accordance with European standards and is therefore ready for use in road traffic. This success represents an important step in the development of safe hydrogen storage technologies for the mobility of the future. the latest news shaping the hydrogen market at Bonfire test confirms safety of the SAG LH2 liquid hydrogen tank system even in extreme conditions, BBC – Hydrogen plant plans on hold after safety concerns Plans to build a controversial hydrogen energy facility have been put on hold after the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) raised concerns.
