Linde and the municipal utility company Mainzer Stadtwerke are extending their joint hydrogen project at Energy Park Mainz. The plan is to replace the ten-year-old electrolysers with modern PEM technology with a capacity of 5 megawatts. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027.
Hamburger Energienetze are preparing an existing natural gas pipeline beneath the Süderelbe for hydrogen transport. The so-called Kattwyk culvert is to become part of the hydrogen industrial network HH-WIN starting in 2027.
A study published in “nature energy” concludes that without political backing from European countries, green hydrogen from Africa will not be economically competitive by 2030. Only a few locations could become competitive through targeted de-risking.
The Swiss airline SWISS has used solar fuel from the cleantech company Synhelion for the first time in regular flight operations. The delivery marks a technological milestone for the decarbonization of aviation.
At the Potsdam Science Park, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP) is working together with the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg on a new generation of bio-based carbon fibers. These are also intended for future use in fuel cells and hydrogen tanks.
Ambartec and Rouge H2 Engineering are jointly developing a process to convert steel mill gases into hydrogen and CO₂. The goal is to bring the technology to market maturity and implement it in the steel industry.
The French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has successfully tested the combustion of green hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas in industrial applications for the first time. The company also delivered green hydrogen to Spain for the first time.
The ITM Power subsidiary Hydropulse and the project developer Eternal Power have entered into a strategic partnership. The goal is to supply industrial customers in Germany with green hydrogen starting in summer 2025 – without upfront investments.
Technology provider Elcogen and plant engineering company Casale have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate solid oxide electrolysis into ammonia production. The partnership aims to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in the traditionally fossil-based ammonia industry by using green hydrogen.
