The core message of a new analysis by Aqua Ventus is that green hydrogen could be produced profitably right on the doorstep. It deals with the systemic integration of offshore wind energy and H2 production in the North Sea by the year 2045.
When wind and solar are expected to supply the majority of electricity in Germany in the future, flexible power plants are to fill the gaps – first using natural gas, then hydrogen. However, the rules for this are still pending.
Even if it sometimes looks like there has been an earthquake at the site of the former Moorburg coal power plant, the construction of the Hamburg hydrogen factory is progressing as planned. From the second half of 2027, 10,000 tons of green hydrogen are to be produced here annually.
Mauritania has signed a framework agreement with Möhring Energie for the development of a PtX large-scale project. Starting in 2029, the plant is expected to produce up to 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually for export.
For the first time, two hydrogen-powered race cars competed at Formula Student Austria. This marks a new chapter for the event organizers. Safety aspects were a particular focus.
On October 9 and 10, the FIA’s Extreme H off-road race took place in Saudi Arabia for the first time. CEO Ali Russell and Rob Atkinson from Siemens spoke with H2international about how such races can accelerate developments in the automotive industry.
The HZwei and H2international team will also be present at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo. Our editors Monika Rößiger and Eva Augsten will be attending the trade fair and conference. In addition, we will be co-exhibiting at the booth of the German Hydrogen Association DWV.
Agfa has opened a new production facility for Zirfon membranes. These membranes are a key component for alkaline electrolysers used in hydrogen production. The facility is modular and scalable, and was supported with EU funding.
The hydrogen truck provider Hylane has expanded its management board. As of September 1, 2025, CFO Maximilian Draxler is also part of the leadership team. He will additionally assume responsibility for legal affairs and internationalization.
