Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG has one in Augsburg test put into operation for hydrogen engines. According to the company, the investments were ten million euros. The 
Engines are supplied by the company subsidiary
MTU built. Rolls-Royce announced in 2021 that it would realign its product portfolio as part of its “Net Zero at Power Systems” sustainability program. By 2030, greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by 35 percent compared to 2019 using sustainable fuels and new MTU technologies. The company operates an MTU fuel cell system and has approved and developed its power generation units for sustainable fuels Electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen. The MTU gas engine portfolio is being prepared for hydrogen as a fuel, according to a statement. At the Augsburg site, (bio) gas engines and, in the future, hydrogen engines would be developed and tested, and gas engine-based systems would be built and maintained.

Everfuel Sweden AB, a subsidiary of the Danish Everfuel A/S, will receive funding of 79 million crowns (7,4 million euros) from the Swedish energy agency Energimyndigheten for the construction of three hydrogen filling stations. At all stations 
According to the company, both cars and heavy commercial vehicles can be refueled near the cities of Helsingborg, Luleå and Sundsvall. The Commissioning is scheduled for 2023. As reported, the company is already planning a series of filling stations on the main traffic corridors in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The first Everfuel filling station in Sweden is scheduled to open in Trelleborg later this year. (Photo © Everfuel)

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser AS, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, has received an order to supply an alkaline electrolyzer system from the Danish energy supplier Skovgaard Energy Aps in Lemvig in West Jutland. The Order volume is around 
four million euros, delivery is expected to take place in the third quarter of 3. Project partners are Skovgaard Energy, Topsoe and Vestas. The dynamically designed system will be used for the production of green ammonia. The aim is to test how the electrolyser works with directly supplied wind and solar power when availability fluctuates. Financial support comes from the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP). (Photo © Nel AS)

“Extreme E” announced a multi-year collaboration with Enowa, the subsidiary for energy, water and hydrogen in the newly emerging Saudi model region Neom. Extreme E is a racing event, 
where drivers compete in electric SUVs in extreme environments around the world over five weekends of the year. The organizers want to hold the first motorsport championship with off-road hydrogen vehicles in 2024 under the name “Extreme H" start. According to the information, Enowa is supposed to provide the green hydrogen. Development of the Extreme H vehicle is already underway. A prototype is scheduled to be presented in early 2023.

The US company Hy Stor Energy LP and the Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission (HCPHC) want to integrate renewable hydrogen into the operations of Port Bienville on the US Gulf Coast. In the first phase, 320 tons are to be produced daily and a total of more than 69.000 tons are to be stored in underground salt caverns. Companies such as SABIC Innovative Plastics, DAK Americas, SNF Polychemie, Calgon Carbon and Jindal Tubular USA are currently located in the Port Bienville Industrial Park. In addition to the port with access to inland shipping routes, railway lines and highways, other location advantages include Stennis International Airport and NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center. Hy Stor Energy will develop the renewable hydrogen at its sites in Jackson, Gulfport and Kiln in Port Bienville. The Richton Dome in Perry County, Mississippi, was a previously selected expansion site for the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. A new bi-directional hydrogen pipeline will run from Richton to Hancock County and the Port of Bienville. Hy Stor Energy's infrastructure enables green hydrogen to be transported to and from the port around the clock, as well as to and from the underground salt domes within around 100 miles of the port.

The board of directors Salzgitter AG has released funds amounting to 723 million euros for the implementation of the first of three stages of the SALCOS program. The Lower Saxon one Group plans to convert the steelworks to low-CO2033 crude steel production by 2. The aim is to gradually save 95 percent of the CO2 emissions of around eight million tonnes produced annually. As part of the first expansion stage, electrolysis, a direct reduction system and an electric arc furnace are planned by the end of 2025. In addition to its own contribution, Salzgitter AG relies on public financing and has submitted corresponding funding applications, the company explained.

The Hyundai Motor Company and several companies from Korea and the Czech Republic want to jointly create an infrastructure for hydrogen mobility in the country. The Czech Hydrogen Association is involved 
Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP), the Korean Public-Private Hydrogen Advisory Board (H2KOREA), Hyundai Glovis Co., Zebra Group, Orlen Unipetrol and Spolchemie. Under the multilateral agreement, Hyundai Motor will support the supply and development of fuel cell systems, promote information exchange on the hydrogen industry, establish hydrogen distribution and charging infrastructure, and develop hydrogen production facilities, among other things. Hyundai Motor will also provide know-how for the construction and operation of hydrogen filling stations. First, feasibility studies would be carried out. The Czech Republic wants to put around 2030 fuel cell vehicles on the roads by 50.000. (Photo: © Hyundai)

Améthyste, Ariane Group, Cetim, HDF Energy, Rubis Terminal and Sofresid Engineering have teamed up to develop a barge called “Elementa H2”. This is intended for container and cruise ships 
and supply tankers with green electricity and hydrogen while they are in port in order to reduce their pollutant emissions by more than 80 percent. According to the information, maritime transport was responsible for 2018 percent of total European greenhouse gas emissions in 13,5. In order to achieve the European target of a 55 percent reduction by 2030, this sector must “accelerate its energy transition”. Elementa H2 should contribute to the decarbonization of port activities. The consortium has chosen the port of Rouen and the Rubis terminal there as a pioneering location. With support from Normandie Energies and the port operator HAROPA, a demonstration ship that HDF Energy is building in France will be equipped with a high-performance fuel cell system. Elementa H2 is scheduled to begin operations in 2025. (Photo: Port of Rouen. © HAROPA)

The European Union is planning an agreement with Namibiato “support the country’s burgeoning green hydrogen sector” and increase its own imports of the energy source. In the EU energy strategy 
In May, the goal was set to produce at least ten million tonnes of green hydrogen per year within the EU by 2030 and to import a further ten million tonnes. As part of the plan, the EU will sign a memorandum of understanding with Namibia on hydrogen and minerals at the UN climate conference in Egypt in November, Reuters news agency said. Germany has recently appointed the former State Secretary Rainer Baake Special Representative appointed for German-Namibian climate and energy cooperation. (Photo © European Commission)
