Queensland has demonstrated its commitment to the fast expanding hydrogen industry by establishing two further hydrogen clusters in Gladstone and Toowoomba. The announcement follows a $100,000 commitment by the Queensland Government, in collaboration with NERA (National Energy Resources Australia), an independent, federally supported NFP organization dedicated to assisting Australia’s energy transition, to build the new clusters, which will now work alongside the already established H2Q cluster in Brisbane. The Queensland Government’s hydrogen industry plan is focused on fostering innovation and assisting the development of skills for new technologies, while also acknowledging the critical role of clusters in implementing government policies…

Spain will invest €1.5 billion ($1.8 billion) over the next three years from a European Union recovery fund to boost green hydrogen production. Spain’s goal is to become Europe’s largest hydrogen producer, using renewable energy sources rather than fossil fuels, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate jobs, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated. His government anticipates that the expenditure would spur 8.9 billion euros in investment, primarily from the private sector, to develop the technology by 2030. Madrid has already received over 500 offers for “green hydrogen” projects from energy companies, according to a government statement. The development…

Everfuel has announced its H2 station roll-out strategy for Denmark, with the goal of establishing up to 19 strategically located filling stations for zero-emission transportation by the end of 2023. The plan is the third and last section of Everfuel’s Scandinavian green hydrogen fuelling strategy for trucks, buses, and cars that connects Sweden, Norway, and Denmark’s major transportation corridors. The Danish network will be built on Everfuel-developed sites, including the Esbjerg, Kolding, Aarhus, and Korsr fuelling stations that Everfuel now manages, as well as the high-capacity H2Station at Amager in Copenhagen, which is scheduled to launch on 1 July 2021.…

Sinopec, China’s state-controlled oil behemoth, aims to build its first green hydrogen project in the Inner Mongolia region in 2022. The company, which is China’s largest hydrogen producer, recently announced a five-year focus on fossil fuel-based hydrogen production and the establishment of 1,000 hydrogen filling stations across the country as part of its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Sinopec now has an annual hydrogen production capacity of 3.5 million tonnes, primarily from grey hydrogen produced as a byproduct of its refineries. This capacity accounts for around 14% of overall hydrogen production in China. The green hydrogen facility, which…

The organizations will strengthen their collaboration on the application of technology to advance and deepen the global transition to renewable energy under the terms of the agreement.

Cummins, a global power company, announced plans to build one of the world’s largest electrolyzer facilities for the generation of green hydrogen in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, alongside government officials and partner Iberdrola, one of the world’s largest energy corporations. This investment in Spain follows Iberdrola and Cummins’ announcement of a joint venture to develop large-scale hydrogen generating projects in Spain and Portugal. The firms have agreed to collaborate to promote the expansion of commercial prospects in Iberia’s electrolyzer market, supporting the green hydrogen value chain and positioning Spain as a leader in this technology and industry. This agreement enables Cummins to…

Audi CEO Markus Duesmann has called on politicians to make a clear commitment to electromobility in the ongoing debate over the future energy source.

Develop enabling policies and financial incentives to stimulate demand for green hydrogen, scale-up projects and reduce technology costs.

The funding is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, which was released in November and set a goal of installing 5GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030.

ECT will entrust BOUYGUES ENERGIES SERVICES with the development of a 2 MW renewable hydrogen production and distribution station during the first phase of this agreement.
