In order to increase the sustainability of North Sea renewable energy projects, a group of Dutch businesses has started a government-funded study to investigate the synergies between offshore wind, offshore solar, and at-sea hydrogen generation.

In 2022, the policy side vigorously encouraged hydrogen energy deployment, but “structural disagreements” upstream and downstream.

There have been some indications recently that the Earth’s interior may contain significant hydrogen concentrations.

The German government has granted a consortium €28.4 million ($30 million) for the construction of a hydrogen energy-storage pilot project in Germany. This project will serve as a practical testing ground for the future conversion of existing conventional power plants to run on excess renewable energy.

German hydrogen underground storage will be the main focus of Gasunie. The business joins the H2 CAST hydrogen storage pilot project in the Niedersachsen, Germany, state’s Etzel caverns.

The first phase of BP’s plans to decarbonize its Castellón refinery and turn it into a centre for the generation of green hydrogen and biofuels for industries including aviation calls for an expenditure of €2,000,000,000 through 2027.

The world’s first manufacturing facility for Electriq Powder, a solid hydrogen carrier, will be built at the Port of Amsterdam thanks to a partnership between Electriq, a provider of end-to-end safe hydrogen solutions, and Zenith Energy Terminals.

As a part of the Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia Project, INPEX Corporation, one of the most significant exploration and production firms in Japan, will deploy the HiPACT regenerative high-pressure CO2 capture technology jointly developed by BASF and its engineering partner JGC Corporation.

A joint venture between Everfuel and Hy24 has been established to fund the rapid expansion of electrolyzer capacity in the Nordic region. 51% of the JV will be owned by Everfuel, and 49% by the Clean H2 Infra Fund, which is managed by Hy24.

The first comprehensive hydrogen fuel cell energy utilization project of the Japanese electronics giant in China has begun operations, according to the Panasonic Group’s Chinese subsidiary.
