Green Hydrogen Developments in Germany and Texas
Key Ideas
- TotalEnergies signs a 15-year deal with RWE to purchase 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from a 300 MW electrolyzer in Germany, reducing emissions at the Leuna refinery by 300,000 tons of CO2 per year.
- Plug Power announces a partnership with Southwire to establish a clean hydrogen ecosystem at a distribution site in Texas, introducing over 50 hydrogen-powered forklifts and fueling station infrastructure.
- Gasunie collaborates with Petrogas to study repurposing the Petrogas pipeline under the North Sea for transporting green hydrogen, aiming to lower costs and facilitate hydrogen imports from other North Sea countries.
- Hanwha Aerospace receives approval in principle certification for its 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell system for maritime applications, enhancing its position in the market for zero-carbon propulsion systems for marine vessels.
TotalEnergies has inked a significant agreement with RWE to procure 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from a large electrolyzer in Germany. The hydrogen will be transported through a 600 km pipeline to TotalEnergies’ Leuna refinery, commencing in 2030. This initiative is anticipated to substantially reduce emissions at the refinery by 300,000 tons of CO2 each year, marking a notable step in the adoption of green hydrogen. Concurrently, Plug Power has declared a partnership with Southwire to establish a clean hydrogen ecosystem in Texas. This collaboration includes the deployment of hydrogen-powered forklifts and the setup of a fueling station with multiple dispensers. Meanwhile, Gasunie and Petrogas are exploring the possibility of repurposing a pipeline under the North Sea to facilitate the transportation of green hydrogen, thereby aiming to cut costs and support hydrogen imports from neighboring North Sea nations. Additionally, Hanwha Aerospace's achievement of approval in principle certification for its hydrogen fuel cell system for maritime use signifies a milestone in the company's pursuit of zero-carbon propulsion technologies for marine vessels.
