An offshore wind plant and another one of green hydrogen could soon be realized off the coast of Bari by a local start-up. They would be added to the one already realized in Taranto and to the one planned in front of the Salento coasts between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca (where 90 wind turbines almost 300 meters high are planned for an area of about 163 square meters). For Bari, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility has forwarded the application for the project to be carried out to the Port Authority of the metropolitan city. The location…

Normally, electricity flows through cables and gas through pipelines. But a research team from Karlsruhe is working on combining the two. The vision: a pipeline that transports liquid hydrogen and electricity. Novel superconductors make it possible. Electricity flows through wires, gas flows through pipelines. That’s how it has been so far, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. At least that’s the opinion of the team led by Tabea Arndt, a physics professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. However, the substance she wants to transport is not natural gas, but green hydrogen, produced with the help of renewable…

At the beginning of 2021, the Swedish energy company Vattenfall surprisingly took its coal-fired power plant Moorburg off the grid – after only six years of operation. Apparently, the plant could no longer be operated economically, after long conflicts with environmental protection associations and court proceedings. The city of Hamburg wants to turn the strategically important site on the Elbe into a hub for the northern German energy transition. Following demolition of the power plant – known as “dismantling” in the energy industry – large electrolysis plants are to be built there. According to the plan, the existing connection to…

Scottish Development International and J-DeEP are collaborating to build a floating offshore hydrogen generation facility off the Scottish coast. According to research, the combination of large-scale offshore renewable energy with floating hydrogen production could become economically viable over the next several years, depending on the project structure. ClassNK, a Japanese ship classification society, has granted an approval in principle (AiP) for the development of a floating offshore hydrogen plant off the coast of Scotland by the Japan Offshore Design and Engineering Platform Technology and Engineering Research Association (J-DeEP). The hydrogen platform will be powered by wind turbine surplus energy. It…
