BMW Group has announced its intention to transition logistics operations at its Regensburg facility in Germany to hydrogen by 2026. This move will involve replacing conventional electric vehicles with hydrogen-powered forklifts and tugger trains, with a gradual transition expected to be completed by 2030. The shift aims to diversify the plant's energy mix and optimize logistics processes. Meanwhile, Exolum has introduced a new business line that offers integrated logistics solutions across the hydrogen value chain. The Spanish company plans to invest in infrastructure for hydrogen production, transport, and storage, with a focus on managing facilities for both mobility and industrial purposes. In a different development, Scotland has unveiled its first hydrogen sector export plan, envisioning the annual production of up to 3.3 million tons of green hydrogen by 2045. This plan positions Scotland as a significant player in the European hydrogen sector, leveraging its environmental resources, expertise, and experience. Additionally, Hynfra and Egypt's General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) are considering the establishment of a $1.6 billion ammonia production plant in Egypt. This facility would play a vital role in creating an integrated ammonia logistic system that connects production plants and hubs across Europe, North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. The article also mentions BP's cost-saving measures by focusing on its core portfolio and reducing investments in renewables and hydrogen projects.
