European Companies Call for Industry Policy Shift; Green Hydrogen Projects in China Raise Concerns
Key Ideas
- Twenty companies, including NEL and Siemens Energy, urge the European Commission to support a shift in industry policy to protect the electrolyzer industry from China's advantages in hydrogen production.
- Scatec, Echem, and Mopco collaborate to produce renewable ammonia in Egypt using renewable hydrogen, aiming for 150,000 tons of renewable ammonia annually.
- BP partners with Masdar and others to explore a green hydrogen project in Egypt, with BP as the main developer and operator.
- Höegh-LNG and Deutsche ReGas plan the world's first floating green ammonia cracker in Germany, producing 30,000 tons of hydrogen per year for the hydrogen core network.
Twenty companies, led by NEL, Topsoe, and Sunfire, have written a letter to the European Commission advocating for a change in European industry policy to protect the electrolyzer industry. The letter highlights China's support for its hydrogen companies, creating an uneven playing field that disadvantages European electrolysis technology production. In Egypt, Scatec, Echem, and Mopco have agreed to develop renewable ammonia through a 480 MW renewable energy and 240 MW electrolyzer facility. The project aims to produce up to 150,000 tons of renewable ammonia annually. Additionally, BP has joined a consortium to explore a green hydrogen project in Egypt, with a focus on BP leading the development and operation. In Germany, Höegh-LNG and Deutsche ReGas plan to establish the world's first floating green ammonia cracker, producing 30,000 tons of hydrogen per year. This hydrogen will be integrated into the hydrogen core network via the existing feed-in point. Lastly, Germany and Morocco have signed a declaration to collaborate on climate and energy initiatives, emphasizing the development of green hydrogen. The partnership will enhance cooperation in climate adaptation, renewable energy expansion, and hydrogen production.
