The Director General of Energy and Geology, João Bernardo, said in Parliament that there are already “30 hydrogen producers registered” with the Directorate General of Energy and Geology (DGEG), whose projects are still being analyzed. In a parliamentary hearing on the investment plans of REN – National Energy Networks in transport networks of electricity and natural gas, João Bernardo said that some of the producers already registered are already testing the incorporation of small percentages of green hydrogen in the natural gas network, pointing to pilot projects in Seixal and Evora. These smaller projects will use the distribution networks, whose…

In order to increase the fleet’s size from four to six, Explora Journeys, a luxury travel brand of the MSC Group’s Cruise Division, and Fincantieri, one of the biggest shipbuilding companies in the world, have signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of two additional luxury cruise ships powered by hydrogen. EXPLORA V and VI, the two new structures, will open for business in 2027 and 2028, respectively. A new generation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) engines and a liquid hydrogen collecting system will be included in the new boats. This will allow this prospective low-carbon fuel to be…

The Jupiter 1000 program operates a “power to gas” system at its Fos-sur-Mer site that uses surplus renewable electricity to transform it into hydrogen and synthetic methane. This is the major problem with renewable sources of electricity: their intermittency, which is directly linked to the vagaries of the weather, does not allow for a continuous supply and forces us to consume or store the electricity produced. The other problem is that storage technologies are not yet sufficiently developed to allow for regularity of supply. In other words, storage when production is higher than demand and distribution when demand is higher…

The company invested 200 000 euros in a hydrogen production and storage project in Bandrma Energy Base as a pilot project and began to produce green hydrogen.

They created a hydrogen fuel cell that not only had unmatched effectiveness and durability but also used five times less platinum as a catalyst.

Chungju City, Chungbuk Province, and Kolon Global Co., Ltd. inked a commercial agreement for the development of an eco-friendly clean hydrogen value chain.

A 500 billion won private-led hydrogen fund will be established via investments from both local and foreign investors.

Shell Nederland B.V. and Shell Overseas Investments B.V., subsidiaries of Shell plc, have made the final investment decision to construct Holland Hydrogen I, which, once operational in 2025, will be Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant. The 200MW electrolyzer will be built on the Tweede Maasvlakte near Rotterdam’s harbor and will generate up to 60,000 kg of renewable hydrogen per day. The offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust (noord), which is partially owned by Shell, will supply the electrolyzer with renewable energy. The renewable hydrogen produced will be transported via the HyTransPort pipeline to the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, where…

First Hydrogen Limited, a subsidiary of First Hydrogen Corp., has submitted two Green Hydrogen production projects for the first round of funding through the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF) Strand 1 program. The Ministry of Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) funds the program with £240 million. The NZHF is part of the UK government’s efforts to promote the production of green hydrogen and is a way of meeting the ambitious target of 10 GW of domestic production by 2030, of which ‘at least’ 5 GW must come from electrolytic sources. The two projects of the company will each have…

The European Energy Exchange (EEX) is forming a relationship with the provider of data solutions, TYCHO Solutions, to increase market transparency in the hydrogen sector. Using TYCHO’s business intelligence tool NOVA, both parties will provide hydrogen-related data on the EEX Transparency Platform using their respective areas of expertise. Young Mexico City-based startup TYCHO Solutions provides data solutions for renewable energy companies. In conjunction with Marketz (an Enoi Group firm), TYCHO has created the business intelligence platform NOVA for gathering, evaluating, and maintaining up-to-date information on hydrogen and related industries. By illustrating the trends, patterns, and relationships in the hydrogen and…
