As expected, Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck and Canadian Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson have concluded a hydrogen agreement in Canada. The signing was completed 
A three-day trip to Canada by Habeck, Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and a business delegation took place in Stephenville in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Like recently berichtet, World Energy GH2 Inc. wants to produce green hydrogen and ammonia in the town with a population of around 6.000 on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. Critics complain that Canada currently does not have the necessary export infrastructure and that the approval to build 164 wind turbines to generate green electricity for hydrogen production is not yet in place.

The Funding database The KEA Climate Protection and Energy Agency Baden-Württemberg (KEA-BW) has now also integrated the topic of hydrogen. 
There are currently ten entries under the search term. Applications are currently possible for two funding calls from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV): “Funding for rail vehicles with alternative drives” (until August 31st) and “Biological methanation using CO2 sources from bioenergy production and hydrogen at a central location Site for the production of renewable fuel” (until October 31, 2022).

H2 Mobility Germany has put another hydrogen filling station into operation in the Cologne area. 
The Shell station is on the A555 in the industrial area Wesseling and complements the gas stations in Cologne-Frechen and at Cologne-Bonn Airport. H2 Mobility is responsible for construction and operation; the filling station technology comes from the gas company Linde. According to the information, Shell operates a ten megawatt PEM electrolysis plant in the immediate vicinity of the gas station in the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rhineland. The station was funded with 950.000 euros from the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP) by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport.

The US manufacturer of all-electric medium-duty commercial vehicles Phoenix Motor Inc. has purchased production equipment for the production of fuel cells from Altergy Systems. According to the company, this also includes an automated assembly line. Phoenix wants to develop and produce fuel cells to power forklifts, hybrid buses, vans and trucks as well as heavy long-haul trucks. The facility in Folsom, California, is capable of producing two fuel cells per minute. The factory is expected to be put into operation by the Phoenix Motorcars brand “in the coming quarters”.

The US Department of Energy (Department of Energy, DOE) promotes hydrogen technologies 
and the decarbonization of the electricity grid with 60 million dollars (60,2 million euros). Of this, $40 million will go towards the development and use of clean hydrogen technologies. $20 million will go to a university research consortium to help states and tribal communities implement grid resilience programs and achieve decarbonization goals.

Shell India and the US developer of PEM electrolysers Ohmium International want to work together on projects for green hydrogen, hydrogen applications and markets. The companies agreed to explore the most competitive options in producing, storing, transporting and delivering hydrogen to end customers. “We plan to develop integrated hydrogen hubs for industry and heavy transport to play a leading role in this area,” said Nitin Prasad, Chairman of Shell Group of Companies in India.

The US provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions Plug Power Inc. has signed a contract with Amazon to supply 10.950 tons of green liquid hydrogen annually starting in 2025. The 
Mail order company wants to be carbon-free by 2040. To keep pace with increasing demand for green hydrogen from Amazon and other customers, Plug plans to produce 2022 tons of green hydrogen per day in 70. By 2025 it is expected to reach 500 tonnes per day in North America and 2028 tonnes per day worldwide by 1.000. At the same time, Plug Power grants Amazon the option to acquire up to 16.000.000 Plug common shares (warrant shares), including 9.000.000 shares at a price of $22. For the remaining 7.000.000 shares there is a preferential price of 90 percent of the 30-day average price. Amazon would exercise the option in full if it purchases $2,1 billion in Plug products over the seven-year term of the agreement. After the agreement was announced, Plug Power shares rose by 25 percent to a closing price of $2,48 on the Nasdaq on August 30th. (Photo: © Plug Power)

The Dutch gas transmission system operator Nederlandse Gasunie NV has the Bilfinger Tebodin Netherlands BV, a subsidiary of Mannheim-based Bilfinger SE, with engineering services for a company called “HyStock”. 
Project commissioned. Underground hydrogen storage facilities are being developed at the Gasunie Zuidwending site in the Netherlands. According to the information, Bilfinger will provide the basic engineering for the entire plant including equipment, pipelines, pipe systems, buildings and infrastructure. The plant will produce the green hydrogen using electricity from wind turbines or photovoltaic systems and feed it into caverns in deep underground salt layers. 76 million cubic meters of hydrogen gas will be injected into each of the four planned caverns, with a total storage capacity of around 26 million kilograms. The plant and the first hydrogen cavern are scheduled to be put into operation by 2026. There are already several of these in Europe Project.

The Australian state government of Queensland has launched a public consultation on the Gladstone project. Therefore 
Anyone can comment on the draft terms of reference (TOR) for an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project called “H2-Hub”. According to the plans, the company Hydrogen Utility Pty Ltd. to develop an industrial park for the production of green hydrogen and ammonia in the Gladstone State Development Area next year for 4,7 billion Australian dollars (3,22 billion euros). When fully expanded, the production facility will have an electrolysis capacity of up to three gigawatts and produce up to 5.000 tons of green ammonia per day. The proposed project is located approximately eight kilometers northwest of Gladstone. It is “likely to have a significant impact on matters of national environmental importance”, so statutory review and approval is required before it can be carried out (EPBC 2021/9049), the Ministry of Development and Infrastructure said. The industrial area is currently characterized by liquid gas terminals, oil refineries and, in particular, an aluminum refinery owned by the mining multinational Rio Tinto. Interested parties can view the documents and one until September 13, 2022 Stellungnahme hand over. (Photo: Gladstone State Development Area © State development of Queensland)
