In 2020, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant opened in Fukushima, Japan. What are its characteristics? Known primarily for the tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster of 2011, the city of Fukushima is now one of the leaders in the production of another type of energy: right here is the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (often abbreviated as FH2R), the world’s largest green hydrogen production facility. The facility opened in 2020 and is powered mainly by solar panels (20 MW of power) installed around its perimeter. According to data provided by the Japanese government, the 10 MW facility is capable of…

Green hydrogen is to be transported to Bavaria from 2030. Because of the climate crisis and gas shortages, this is a top priority for Bavarian companies. But the schedule appears to be in jeopardy. Gas network operators are sounding the alarm. Bavaria’s connection to the European hydrogen network could take longer than hoped, warns Stefanie Jacobi of the long-distance network operator Bayernets. The problem, she says, is not technology, but politics. And time is pressing. Because demand for hydrogen, especially green hydrogen (H2), is high. Because of the climate crisis and gas shortages, industry is insisting on a rapid supply.…

The Community of Communes of Haute-Saintonge, a positive energy district dedicated to the development of renewable energy, has picked BayWa r.e. to conduct an ambitious energy transition project in the department of Charente-Maritime in the South West of France. This flagship project will combine the production of solar energy with a battery storage system and community involvement. If local uptake and use potential are established, green hydrogen production will also be included. Thus, the project will apply a comprehensive strategy to the local energy transition and promote the region’s low-carbon transition. BayWa r.e. has been selected, along with Lhyfe, a…

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has been awarded £454,000 to fund the acquisition of two hydrogen tube trailers that will contribute to an increase in Orkney’s hydrogen supply. Funding has been made available to secure a resilient supply of renewable hydrogen from Eday to the mainland and to promote future connections between burgeoning regional hydrogen hubs in northern Scotland and the islands. The money was announced by Net Zero and Energy Secretary Michael Matheson during a visit to Orkney, which included a tour of EMEC’s onshore facilities on Eday and Kirkwall Airport’s hydrogen-powered combined heat and power engine. Mr…
