Trianel and the Hamm municipal utilities have founded a joint venture with the aim of building a green hydrogen production plant on the site of the Hamm-Uentrop gas power plant by 2024. Initially, 30 new hydrogen buses from the municipal utility and 20 municipal waste collection vehicles will be supplied with hydrogen. The construction of an electrolysis plant of up to 20 MW is planned for this purpose. The project company Hydrogen Center Hamm GmbH & Co. KG should examine and initiate the implementation of this project. Trianel GmbH, based in Aachen, is a cooperation of 57 municipal utilities and energy suppliers.

Nel Hydrogen Fueling, a subsidiary of the Norwegian Nel ASA, has from MaserFrakt AB won a contract to build a hydrogen filling station to be used by a fleet of heavy fuel cell vehicles in Borlänge, Sweden. MaserFrakt is one of the largest Swedish companies in the freight forwarding and construction industry and aims to become climate neutral by 2035.

Linde he enters “H2Accelerate”initiative. H2Accelerate is an interest group of European corporations founded in 2020 that want to develop hydrogen-powered trucks and accelerate their market launch. So far are Daimler Truck AG, Iveco, Volvo Group as well as the oil and gas companies Shell New Energies NL BV, the OMV Aktiengesellschaft and Total Energy involved. With the addition of the Linde Group, a manufacturer and distributor of industrial gases, including hydrogen, the circle is likely to soon expand and the former initiative will become a strong truck industry lobby.

The British oil company Chariot Ltd. has with the Mauritanian Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy signed a declaration of intent according to which the company wants to build a plant for the production of green hydrogen with an output of ten gigawatts in the African country. The project, called “Nour”, benefits from the local “first-class solar and wind resources” and has the potential to make Mauritania one of the “world's most important producers and exporters” of green hydrogen and its derivatives, particularly due to its proximity to potentially large European ones markets.

The Munich people Thüga Holding GmbH & Co. KGaA and the energy service provider Energy Southern Bavaria (ESB) are investigating how a gas network can be converted to 100 percent hydrogen. The plan “H2Direct” is part of the Federal Research Ministry’s “TransHyDE” hydrogen lead project. The result will be a guideline for converting existing networks to pure hydrogen. The companies want to supply an ESB network with ten household and one commercial customers with hydrogen for an initial period of 18 months. The aim is to demonstrate that feeding pure hydrogen into an existing gas network is feasible.

Croatia wants to build the country's first hydrogen production plant by 2025, the portal reports “Balkan Green Energy News”. The Croatian government has initiated a process to adopt the country's hydrogen strategy for the period 2021 to 2025 and the preparation of the document is already underway, it was said at a round table on "Hydrogen as a fuel of the future". According to the information, the Croatian oil company is preparing INA the introduction of hydrogen in the transport sector.

The Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik GmbH (LBST) has in common with E4Tech A study was prepared for the British Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on the design of a standard for low-carbon hydrogen. Different variants are described and compared with each other. Recommendations for a possible British standard were derived from the analyses. This is intended to enable the ministry to promote the production of low-carbon hydrogen for use across all consumption sectors. The study “Options for a UK low carbon hydrogen standard” has 179 pages and is available free of charge as a PDF.

Economy and industry will benefit from the new one “Ordinance on the allocation of other energy production areas in the exclusive economic zone” (SoEnergieV) the possibility of using and testing offshore electrolysis. The aim is to enable the implementation of innovative concepts for energy generation that is not connected to the grid. The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) is scheduled to carry out a procurement procedure for the first time in 2022. Successful bidders can apply for a planning approval procedure. In a further step you can apply for funding. The SoEnergieV was announced in the Federal Law Gazette on September 24.09.2021th, 1.10.2021 and came into force on October XNUMXst, XNUMX. The Legislation process together with statements from the associations are documented on the website of the Ministry of Economics.

“TransHyDE”, one of three hydrogen lead projects of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) from the future package to implement the “National Hydrogen Strategy” adopted in 2020, is starting. Over 80 partners from industry, associations, universities and research institutions will advance transport technologies in four implementation and five accompanying research projects: hydrogen transport in high-pressure containers, the transport of liquid hydrogen, the hydrogen transport in existing and new gas pipelines and the transport of hydrogen bound in ammonia.
As the largest implementation project in TransHyDE, the regional alliance CAMPFIRE is coordinated by Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology eV (INP) in Greifswald, des Center for fuel cell technology in Duisburg and the Inherent Solution Consult GmbH & Co KG in Rostock the research and development activities for technologies to implement the entire transport chain for green ammonia. At the Poppendorf location, industry-relevant testing and test fields are being set up in the “CAMPFIRE Open Innovation Lab” (COIL) on the YARA Rostock industrial site. The focus is on the development of logistics structures and refueling systems for ammonia import and operation of ships with green ammonia, load-flexible ammonia systems for the seasonal production of ammonia from renewable energy and dynamic conversion technologies for stationary and mobile energy supply as well as ammonia-to-hydrogen Gas stations.

The University Esslingen is a partner in the EU-wide project FURTHER-FC (Further Understanding Related to Transport limitations at High current density towards future Elect Rods for Fuel Cells) with a total budget of 2,7 million euros as part of the Horizon 2020 funding program for research and innovation European Commission. This program is intended to support and promote the production and use of fuel cell vehicles on a large scale. Esslingen University is investigating how the structures at the micro and nanometer level can be modified to improve the fuel cell. The project is coordinated by the CEA (French Commission for Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy).
