The Lower Saxony hydrogen network wants to create a digital hydrogen industry leader. Companies in the hydrogen economy in Lower Saxony can do so in a short time Online questionnaire explain what products and services they offer. The aim is to provide interested parties with an “overview of all players along the value chain and across all areas of application”. Participation is free until July 14, 2022 is possible.

Schenker Deutschland AG (DB Schenker) wants to build a hydrogen-powered vehicle fleet. The Deutsche Bahn subsidiary has its first fuel cell truck from the Cologne leasing start-up Hylane GmbH ordered. The vehicle will be handed over by the end of 2022. Practical tests with 
Customers will start in early 2023. According to the information, the tractor from Hyzon Motors Inc. has a permissible weight of 27 tons with a range of 400 to 500 kilometers. The US commercial vehicle manufacturer had one in March 2021 Leasing service launched for customers in the European Union. This should make it easier for fleet operators to economically implement the switch from diesel-powered to hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles in their fleet. The leasing offer includes fuel, insurance, service and maintenance for Hyzon tractors and vehicles. (Photo: Hyzon tractor for Schenker. © Schenker / Michael Fraunhofer)

The Swiss Axpo Holding AG wants to build a hydrogen production plant at the Wildegg-Brugg hydroelectric power station (canton of Aargau) by spring 2024. The system should use electricity from the River power plant with an output of 15 megawatts annually 
produce around 2.000 tons of green hydrogen. After completion, the energy source will be delivered via a line to the nearby Voegtlin-Meyer gas station. IBB Energie AG also plans to make the waste heat resulting from the electrolysis process available to industry in a heating network. The project is a cooperation between Axpo, Voegtlin-Meyer, IBB and the city of Brugg. (Photo: Wildegg-Brugg hydroelectric power station © Axpo)

The US oil company Exxon Mobil Corp. wants to examine whether green hydrogen and ammonia for low-emission shipping fuels can be produced and sold at its oil terminal in Slagentangen, Norway. At an appropriate one Study Norwegian hydrogen infrastructure developer Grieg Edge, Danish hydrogen producer Green Hydrogen Systems A/S (GreenH) and ammonia project developer North Ammonia (a joint venture between Arendals Fossekompani and Grieg Maritime Group) participate. The potential for the production of up to 20.000 tons of green hydrogen per year and the distribution of up to 100.000 tons of green ammonia per year will be examined. The hydrogen would be produced by electrolysis using electricity from hydroelectric power. The Slagen Terminal is located south of Oslo at the mouth of the Oslofjord, which more than 10.000 ships pass through every year. Exxon Mobil also says it plans to build one of North America's largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities at its petrochemical complex in Baytown, Texas, and is also exploring the potential for a similar facility at its complex in Southampton Fawley, United Kingdom.

The oil multinational Shell has ordered a SOEC (solid oxide electrolyzer cell) demonstration system from the British provider of fuel cell technology Ceres Power Holdings plc. Ceres has said it has committed £100 million (€116 million) to the development of its SOEC technology, with the aim of achieving hydrogen costs of $2025 per kilogram by 1,50. The system will be installed at Shell's research and development technology center in Bangalore, India, where the hydrogen will be used in on-site industrial processes. The delivery date is 2023. The test program is designed to last at least three years and is the first phase of collaboration between the two companies.

Everfuel A/S and Crossbridge Energy A/S have signed an agreement to supply hydrogen from Everfuel's “HySynergy Phase II” plant, currently under development in Fredericia, Denmark. There is one there electrolysis plant with an output of 300 
Megawatt is planned, which will be built in three construction phases. Section A is financed by EU funds (IPCEI), has an output of 20 megawatts and is scheduled to go into operation this year. The production capacity is 40 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, which will be used for more sustainable fuel production at the neighboring Crossbridge Energy refinery and as a zero-emission fuel for mobility and industry.

The Norwegian oil and gas group Equinor ASA and the British utility SSE Thermal are buying the private British power producer Triton Power from the investor Energy Capital Partners (ECP). Its natural gas power plant in Saltend (1,2 gigawatts) is to be converted to use 2027 percent hydrogen by 30; planned 
will later be fully operated with hydrogen. The investment is £341 million (€396 million), with Equinor and SSE Thermal each owning half joint Venture hold. The transaction is expected to close in September. The hydrogen is expected to be produced in 2020 Equinor announced H2H Saltend (Hydrogen to Humber Saltend) project, in which natural gas is converted into hydrogen through carbon capture and storage (CCS). Saltend power station would then become an anchor customer, the company said. Equinor and SSE Thermal are already working together in the region to create one of the world's largest Hydrogen storage to develop. Nine salt caverns could hold around 2028 cubic meters of hydrogen as early as 152.000. The Humber region is the largest industrial region in the UK, with annual emissions of over twelve million tonnes of CO2, over 50 percent more than the second largest region. A number of corporations are developing projects to decarbonize the local industries there. (Photo: Saltend Power Station. © Equinor)

Salzgitter Mannesmann Research (SZMF) wants to build a new laboratory building for hydrogen research at its location on the Krupp Mannesmann Hüttenwerke site in Duisburg-Huckingen. “Hydrogen is needed to replace coking coal and to produce steel in an even more sustainable and climate-friendly manner in the future,” says SZMF-Managing Director Benedikt Ritterbach. This in turn requires suitable steel pipes and sheets in order to be able to transport and store hydrogen. The “H2SteeLab” is intended to accommodate numerous testing systems for examining steel samples in hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas mixtures up to a pressure of 400 bar. According to Juliane Mentz, responsible for materials technology at SZMF in Duisburg, tests under pressurized hydrogen “represent a particularly high challenge”. This applies to both the testing systems and the explosion-proof laboratory as a whole. “So far, only a handful of laboratories offer such tests in Europe and worldwide.” Commissioning is planned for summer 2023.
