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 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…

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…
