Advancements in Green Hydrogen Production Across Europe and Asia
Key Ideas
  • BASF commissions a 54 MW PEM electrolyzer in Ludwigshafen to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 72,000 metric tons per year.
  • Sungrow Hydrogen secures a major order for alkaline hydrogen production equipment in China to produce green hydrogen for methanol production.
  • Vale and Green Energy Park's green HBI project in Brazil is chosen as a flagship initiative by the European Commission to decarbonize steel production in Europe.
  • Australia commits AUD 750 million to support the development of low-emission technologies, focusing on hydrogen among other priorities.
BASF has completed the installation of a 54 MW PEM electrolyzer at its Ludwigshafen site, aiming to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions. The project, backed by investments from both BASF and the European Union, will facilitate the production of hydrogen used in various industrial processes like ammonia and methanol. In a related development, Sungrow Hydrogen has secured a substantial order for alkaline hydrogen production equipment in China, specifically for a large-scale project targeting methanol production from green hydrogen. This aligns with the global trend towards cleaner energy sources and sustainable industrial practices. Meanwhile, the European Commission has recognized a collaborative project between Vale and Green Energy Park as a key initiative in decarbonizing steel production. By producing green HBI for the European market with the help of hydrogen, this project signifies a significant step towards greener steel manufacturing. Additionally, Australia has earmarked a substantial amount of funding to support advancements in low-emission technologies, with a notable emphasis on hydrogen-related innovations. Lastly, the authorization for a new green hydrogen plant at Sapio's facility in Marghera, Italy, indicates the region's commitment to establishing itself as a Hydrogen Valley, showcasing the growing importance of hydrogen in the energy transition.
