Plug Power Inc. has broken ground on a green hydrogen production facility in Camden County, Georgia, USA, which will produce 15 tonnes of liquid green hydrogen per day. The investments are 84 million dollars. The facility serves customers in the southeastern United States.

Everfuel A/S begins construction of the largest electrolyzer in Europe. The construction permit for the Phase I HySynergy electrolyser in Fredericia, Denmark has been granted and groundbreaking will take place on August 18th. The plant has a production capacity of around eight tons of green hydrogen per day and is scheduled to go into operation in mid-2022. Everfuel is responsible for the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) work, including the hydrogen storage and distribution facilities. In addition to this 20 megawatt electrolyser, planning for 300 megawatts in Phase II has already made further progress.

Hyzon Motors plans to deliver 85 fuel cell vehicles by the end of the year, with the first revenues to be recorded next quarter. Orders and memorandums of understanding (MOU) grew from $55 million in April to $83 million now. But many of the MOUs are non-binding, including an agreement with Austrian grocer MRPEIS for 70 trucks next year. Hyzon faces an “easy battle for technological acceptance” because many of its customers have never seen or used a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, has received an order from a US utility for a 1,25 megawatt (MW) container-sized PEM electrolyser. The order is worth $2,6 million and will be delivered in 2022. The unnamed customer will install an MC250 electrolyzer in a nuclear power plant to supply itself with hydrogen. The project is funded by the US Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office under the H2@Scale program.

The Indian Ministry for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has prepared a draft national hydrogen strategy that aims, among other things, to increase the production and use of green hydrogen in several sectors, including the transport sector. The draft is currently in interministerial coordination. This is evident from Minister Shri RK Singh's reply to a query to the First House of Parliament (Lok Sabha). The ministry has also commissioned the Chennai Research Center to develop a 20-kilowatt low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell and launched a research program in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells. The government also supported mobility projects, including the development of buses with fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles with combustion engines.

On the sidelines of the Rostock “Hanse Sail” was held in Warnemünde “Hydrogen Hanseatic League” founded. It is intended to unite cities and regions around the Baltic Sea in an alliance that is committed to a hydrogen-based economy and the use of the associated value creation potential. The neighboring European regions, especially in the traditionally closely connected Baltic Sea region, had huge areas that were suitable for wind and solar parks. That is why a new network will be developed that ensures the delivery of hydrogen and electricity from renewable energies.

The Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri and the Italian supplier Enel Green Power Italy want to jointly investigate the possibilities for using green hydrogen in ports and maritime transport. This includes integration into existing structures, production, storage, transport and fuel. Enel's Eugenio Montale power plant in La Spezia (Liguria region) serves as the first test site.
