Hydrogen is expected to play a key part in decarbonizing economies by extending its usage in energy and transportation systems across the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, and Japan.

Hydrogen is considered an energy carrier of the future. It makes it possible to store wind or solar energy in the form of gas. This is to be tested in the Etzel underground salt dome from 2024.

A partnership to equip 12 homes in the Munich region with the “picea” system, developed by HPS. This electricity storage system makes it possible to produce green hydrogen with the solar surplus, especially in summer.

The Münster University of Applied Sciences has implemented a project together with a Dutch company to generate energy from cattle manure. It has shown that hydrogen can be obtained from the residue.

By the end of the year, the agreement partners will conduct a feasibility assessment to see whether hydrogen and green naval fuels can be produced in Egypt, with Maersk as the client.

Endesa has been awarded a 224 MVA connection right to install in Pego, Portugal, 365 MWp of solar energy, 264 MW of wind energy, with integrated storage of 168.6 MW and a 500 kW electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen.

At TÜV Süd’s facility in Garching, Germany, a hydrogen testing laboratory has been set up. It is anticipated that the second stage will be finished by the end of the year.

With a bridge fuel that enables economic expansion to be balanced with the adoption of renewables and the phase-out of coal, Quintero is an important energy infrastructure company supporting Chile’s decarbonization agenda.

On March 1, 2021, Morocco unilaterally terminated diplomatic ties with Germany for “infringements on the Kingdom’s territorial integrity,” halting a promising green hydrogen generation project.

Hydrogen Energy’s Long-Term Prospects
Despite major obstacles to the widespread use of green hydrogen, pricing estimates indicate that these obstacles may be overcome.
