Hydrogen Developments in Germany and Beyond
Key Ideas
- The H2Mare OffgridWind project in Denmark successfully linked two electrolyzers to a land-based wind turbine, setting a model for offshore systems.
- Ontras Gastransport and H2 Energy Europe are collaborating on hydrogen transportation in the GO! pipeline project to supply renewable hydrogen to German industrial regions.
- GreenGo Energy secured partnerships in Namibia to develop large-scale solar and wind projects for green hydrogen production and integrate hydrogen into steel production.
- MOL started hydrogen production at a 10 MW electrolysis unit in Hungary, aiming to gradually replace natural gas-based production to reduce carbon emissions.
The German government announced significant advancements in hydrogen projects, including the successful connection of two electrolyzers to a land-based wind turbine in Denmark. This project by H2Mare OffgridWind aims to explore the impact of fluctuating electricity production on hydrogen generation. Additionally, Ontras Gastransport and H2 Energy Europe are working together on the Green Octopus Mitteldeutschland pipeline project to transport renewable hydrogen to various German industrial regions.
The collaboration between GreenGo Energy and partners in Namibia focuses on developing large-scale solar and wind projects for green hydrogen production and incorporating hydrogen into steel manufacturing processes to enhance sustainability. In Hungary, MOL inaugurated a 10 MW electrolysis unit for hydrogen production, a move that is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the Danube Refinery.
Furthermore, Lhyfe and H2 Mobility Deutschland signed an agreement to deliver renewable hydrogen from Lhyfe's production site in Schwäbisch Gmünd to fuel stations in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate. Lastly, DH2 Energy's VVR Green project in Portugal has been granted Potential National Interest status for its renewable hydrogen production plans, aiming to expand its electrolysis and solar power capacity in the future.
