In the SAA joins the consortium for the “PosHYdon” project. PosHYdon aims to validate the integration of three energy systems in the Dutch North Sea: offshore wind, offshore natural gas and offshore hydrogen. This is done on the by Neptune Energy A hydrogen production system including a Nel-PEM electrolyzer was installed on the Q13a-A platform. The Q13a-A is said to be the first fully electrified platform in the Dutch North Sea. It is located about 13 kilometers off the coast of Scheveningen (The Hague). The consortium currently includes InVesta, Hatenboer, IV-Offshore & Energy Emerson Automation Solutions, Nexstep, TNO, Neptune Energy, Gasunie, Noordgastransport, NOGAT, DEME Offshore, TAQA and Eneco.

The mayors of the cities of Namie in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, and Lancaster, California, USA, have one “Smart Sister Cities”initiative and want to advocate for the production, storage, delivery and use of hydrogen in urban facilities in their communities. In March last year, a 10-megawatt electrolyser was put into operation in Namie, which is powered by the output of a 20-megawatt solar park. The “Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field” (FH2R) is located not far from the damaged nuclear power plant. The flame of this year's Olympic flame is powered by hydrogen.

The HPS Home Power Solutions GmbH was awarded the “Smarter E Award 2021” in the “Smart Renewable Energy” category. The company received the award for its product “Pica,” a home energy storage system with a 25-kilowatt-hour battery for short-term storage and alkaline electrolysis for seasonal chemical energy storage in the form of green hydrogen. Other winners of the “Smarter E Award 2021” include BayWa re Solar Projects, Boreal Light and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. “The smarter E” is an event as part of the Intersolar conference trade fair.

India's largest oil company Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) wants to set up the country's first green hydrogen production plant at its refinery in Mathura. They have a wind power project in Rajasthan and intend to send the output to Mathura to use the electricity to produce green hydrogen, according to an article in the “Economic Times”. The company will not build its own power plants in its expansion projects but will use electricity from renewable sources such as solar energy.

The Institute for Plastics Processing at RWTH Aachen eV is conducting a market and technology study on possible applications of hydrogen and plastics. Partners are still being sought. The kickoff meeting of the twelve-month study will take place on September 29, 2021. There will be an information event as a webinar on July 29, 2021.

Cerulean Winds has an agreement with the PX Group to advance its plans for a 200-turbine integrated floating wind and hydrogen plant in the North Sea. The electricity yield is forecast at three gigawatt hours (GWh). Of this, 1,5 GWh goes to plants for the production of green hydrogen. The three onshore hydrogen sites are being built in the north of England, the north-east of Scotland and the Shetland Islands. The PX Group is the owner of the Saltend Chemicals Park in Humber, which SSE Thermals and Equinor want to expand into a hydrogen location.

The Italian Saipem SpA brings a technological solution for the production of green hydrogen onto the market under the name “SUISO”. This combines various renewable energy sources such as floating wind turbines, floating solar systems and wave energy into a single system. The aim is to operate electrolyzers installed jointly or individually on existing offshore platforms for the production of green hydrogen. The system will be used for the first time in the offshore AGNES project, which Saipem plans to install together with QINT'X off the Adriatic coast of Ravenna.

The NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NTPC REL), a subsidiary of India's largest electricity supplier NTPC, wants to produce green hydrogen on a commercial scale. For this purpose, part of the income from a newly built 4,75 gigawatt solar park in the state of Gujarat, whose construction has now been approved by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), will be used. In addition, NTPC RE recently signed an agreement to produce green hydrogen and use it in fuel cell buses in the Ladakh territory.
