JP Joule GmbH has started construction of the fourth electrolysis plant as part of the eFarm project in Dörpum/Bordelum, North Frisia. The information According to this, 35 tons of green hydrogen will be produced there from September 
generated from regional wind power every year. The gas is dried, compressed and filled into mobile storage containers. On trailers it becomes the Hydrogen filling stations transported to Niebüll and Husum. There are already two in North Frisia Public buses with green hydrogen. Two electrolyzers are already in operation in Bosbüll and another at GP Joule's headquarters in Reußenköge. The waste heat from the electrolysers in Bosbüll flows into a local heating network to heat buildings in the area. The fifth and final electrolyser in the eFarm project is to be built in Langenhorn. This can produce enough green hydrogen to power 20 buses or 100 cars every day. (Photo from left: André Steinau, managing director of eFarming GmbH & Co.

Hamburg-based Clean Logistics SE has presented the prototype of a diesel truck converted to hydrogen power. The car with two fuel cells 
With an output of 120 kilowatts each and a lithium-ion battery, the “Fyuriant“The model mentioned provides a range of more than 400 kilometers. The tank holds 43 kilograms. The project was funded with 3,3 million euros by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. Last year, the company handed over the first converted bus with fuel cell drive to the Uckermärkische Verkehrsgesellschaft under the model name “Pyuron”. According to its own information, Clean Logistics is currently expanding its capacities in Winsen (Luhe). The company plans to deliver up to 2023 vehicles annually from the end of 450.

The Norwegian state-owned company Enova SF is supporting a hydrogen center run by Glomfjord Hydrogen AS with 150 million crowns (14 million euros). Electrolysis with an output of 20 megawatts is planned 
Glomfjord in Meløy municipality to produce renewable hydrogen for customers in the maritime sector. The project in which next In the SAA Greenstat ASA, Meløy Municipality and Troms Kraft ASA also involved, was launched in June 2016. The plant will be “the same size as the currently largest hydrogen plant in Europe,” says Nel managing director Jon André Løkke, referring to a plant in Spain recently inaugurated by Iberdrola Puertollano, for which Nel also supplied the electrolysers. Enova is also supporting four additional hydrogen centers in Rørvik, Hitra, Florø and Kristiansand. The five projects will receive funding totaling 669 million crowns (63,7 million euros). In addition, the development of hydrogen and ammonia-powered ships will be supported with more than 451 million crowns (43 million euros).

An industrial consortium called “Green Fuels Hamburg” wants to examine the production of sustainable fuels for aviation in Germany. The energy supplier announced this Uniper, the technology group Siemens Energy, the aircraft manufacturer Airbus and the chemical company Sasol EcoFT. The four companies cover the entire value creation process for the production of CO2-neutral kerosene (Power-to-Liquid, PtL). They are supported by the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), the Hamburg Senate and Hamburg Airport. In addition, Emirates Airline has expressed interest in using the PtL kerosene produced, it said in a statement. The planned plant is expected to produce at least 2026 tons of green kerosene annually from 10.000 in the first expansion stage. Hamburg Billbrook is named as the location, where a large-scale electrolysis plant will be used to produce green hydrogen from electricity from offshore wind turbines. A production plant for PtL fuels is linked to this.

The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the UAE sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company are increasing their shares in the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar). The three companies are already Masdar partner. According to the information, their joint activities in the areas of renewable energies and green hydrogen are to be brought together under the Masdar brand. The Project Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, had already announced in December. The value of the new Masdar joint ventures is around seven billion dirhams (1,8 billion euros). According to the agreement, TAQA will hold a controlling stake of 43 percent in the Masdar renewable energy business, Mubadala 33 percent and ADNOC the remaining 24 percent. In addition, ADNOC will hold a 43 percent majority stake in Masdar's new green hydrogen joint venture, Mubadala 33 percent and TAQA 24 percent. ADNOC and TAQA had already agreed in November to develop renewable energies with an output of at least 2030 gigawatts by 30.

Finland has announced plans to build a hydrogen transport network. The country wants to increase the long-term security of its energy supply after deciding to no longer purchase Russian gas. The state-owned company Gasgrid Finland, which has so far transported mainly Russian natural gas, will build the network through a subsidiary in the next few years, the news agency said.Reuters” citing Finance Minister Annika Saarikko.

The Danish Everfuel A/S receives funding for the development of a mobile hydrogen filling station. The total grant amounts to 7,4 million crowns (1,0 million euros). The "Trekant H2The project mentioned is running in collaboration with the Norwegian Nel Hydrogen A/S and the Danish engineering and consulting company 
Force Technology. The funds will be used to convert a stationary NEL hydrogen filling station into a mobile facility. Current hydrogen filling stations require on-site construction and long-term rental and offtake contracts, the company explains, which increases lead times and reduces flexibility. In May, Everfuel had its concept “EverfillerPresented as a mobile gas station. Pilot operation is scheduled for the second half of 2023, with full operation the following year.

The South Korean chemical company LG Chem Ltd. wants to build a hydrogen factory with a capacity of 50.000 tons per year. The location is the region 
Dasean, a peninsula in the northwest of the country with a high industrial density. Construction is expected to begin in the first half of 2023 and commissioning is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024. It is the first LG location “that produces pure hydrogen that is not a by-product.” The steam reforming process is used, in which hydrogen is obtained from methane. The resulting CO2 is from Taekyung Chemical used, the largest producer of carbon dioxide gas in Korea, which uses high-purity CO2 as raw material.

The US engineering service provider Black & Veatch Holding Co. is working with the Irish project developer Mercury Renewables to build an onshore wind farm with an output of 75 megawatts in order to use its output to produce green hydrogen. According to the information, this is the “Firlough“project is the first of its kind in Ireland. The location is in County Mayo and Sligo in the west of the Republic. Tim Bills-Everett from Mercury sees his company in a “leading role in the development of Ireland’s hydrogen economy”. After a feasibility study, the optimal configuration will be determined, and Black & Veatch will then design the systems.
