What are the development opportunities for the Danube Port Kelheim/Saal? Bavarian Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (FW) met with representatives of the local special-purpose association, municipalities and companies to take a clear position on this question. Indeed, Aiwanger is certain: “The port is ideal for the use of hydrogen.” With large-scale photovoltaic systems on the covered parking areas, he believes that green hydrogen could be produced here in the future, which would go to hydrogen-powered ships or trucks as fuel via a dedicated filling station. The minister promised on the spot: “I therefore support the current plans of the special-purpose association…

The agreement intends to help and promote the growth of the industry by making available and supporting the Italian supply chain in operations aimed at the energy transition, particularly sustainable mobility, according to the partner firms in a letter.

Updated rules will help guide industrial investments necessary for Europe’s transformation towards a zero-pollution, competitive, climate-neutral economy by 2050.

Productive projects and academic research try to place the country on the world map of sustainable gas, touted as the fuel of the future.

The UK government’s Energy Security Strategy, which will be released on Thursday, is expected to quadruple the government’s aim for hydrogen generation. Low-carbon hydrogen is viewed as a critical component of a more sustainable energy system, having the potential to replace natural gas in residential heating, industrial energy supply, and industrial transportation. Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng established a target of 5GW of low-carbon hydrogen capacity for use throughout the economy by 2030. That ambition is poised to quadruple, with industry sources forecasting a new target of 10GW of capacity comprised of 50% “green” hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources and…

GRTgaz will convert 60 kilometers of existing natural gas pipes and construct 40 kilometers of new ones for this large-scale project, which is expected to be finished in 2028.

North Korea has been working on developing a second-stage hydrogen bomb that is smaller in size and uses less weapon-grade uranium.

In response to EU recommendations to increase green hydrogen generation and imports, the European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) initiative has increased its objectives for a pan-European hydrogen pipeline network. EHB, an industry association comprised of gas transmission system operators (TSOs), has increased its objective for hydrogen pipes to over 28,000 kilometers (kilometers) by 2030 and 53,000 kilometers by 2040. Around 60% of this would be accomplished through the repurposing of existing natural gas pipes, while 40% would be accomplished through the construction of new pipelines. Last year at this time, the EHB planned an 11,600-kilometer network by 2030, increasing to 39,700-kilometers…

According to a top official of the Clean Energy Business Council (CEBC), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has launched 47 blue and green hydrocarbon projects totaling $55 billion in investments.

Wood has developed a novel steam methane reforming (SMR) method that can reduce CO2 emissions by 95 percent when compared to conventional hydrogen generation. The technique is intended to address inefficiencies in energy production, heat production, and industrial processes, which collectively account for more than half of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Wood argues that reducing the carbon intensity of hydrogen generation is the best strategy to reduce these emissions and build a more sustainable future while simultaneously satisfying growing demand for electricity. Valentina Depetri, Wood’s Hydrogen Process Lead, demonstrated the technology last month at the Energy & Sustainability Forum…
