BERLIN, April 5 (Reuters) – Germany’s ruling coalition on Friday agreed a financing mechanism for the country’s future hydrogen network, extending a deadline for it to be built by five years to 2037 and offering protection for investors in case of bankruptcy. Many countries are betting on hydrogen, which can be used in part to replace natural […]
The Energy Policy Group (EPG), a think-tank specialized in energy and climate policies, has carried out an extensive study on hydrogen, its production, transport and use in the context of the energy transition, the conclusions of which we present to you below Renewable hydrogen will play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions […]
The head of the National Energy Dispatch, Vigiliu Ivan, said that we are “very close” to making a final investment decision for a pumped storage hydropower plant. “We tried to stimulate the introduction of storage facilities. Things started going, since last year we have the first medium level battery, 7 MW, with which we do […]
Ballard Power Systems is set to supply a total of 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell units to Polish-based Solaris Bus & Coach under a new long-term supply agreement (LTSA). Made up existing orders for around 300 fuel cell engines, the LTSA adds a new supply commitment for an “incremental” 700 fuel cell systems – representing the […]
Investments in electrolyser plants are well ahead of demand from green hydrogen project developers. According to new data, electrolyser production capacity currently stands at 31.7 GW, 17 times the 2023 supply volumes of under 2 GW. As well as 7 times the expected deliveries in 2024. The company’s Electrolyser Manufacturing 2024: Too Many Fish in […]
Verdagy will become a supplier in upcoming Shell green hydrogen projects after the oil and gas major technically approved its electrolysers. Technical Feasibility and Technology Development Reviews for Verdagy’s 20MW eDynamic Electrolysis system was carried out by Shell along with a HAZOP (safety) review. The electrolyser is usually used as a building block for 100MW […]
A hydrogen fuel-cell passenger train developed by Swiss rail vehicle maker Stadler Rail has achieved a new Guinness World Record, traveling for almost two days around the clock for a distance of 1,741.7 miles. Efforts to clean up dirty trains are already well underway, with heavy investment in electrifying networks around the world as well […]
The European Commission has approved a €900 million French scheme to support companies investing in the use of biomass and renewable hydrogen in energy and fuel production, to foster the transition towards a net-zero economy in line with the Green Deal Industrial Plan. The scheme was approved under the State aid Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, adopted by […]
E.ON Romania declared success in its test of blending hydrogen into the gas network and using the mixture in households. It was the first such attempt in the country.
