The Port of Rotterdam, in collaboration with the Province of Zuid Holland and more than 40 partners, has launched an ambitious project to achieve emission-free inland and near-shore shipping on hydrogen.

Spanish energy company Cepsa has signed a cooperation agreement with German energy firm GETEC to supply green hydrogen and its derivatives to GETEC’s industry clients by 2026.

Ciudad Real, a city in the south-central region of Spain, is gearing up to become a hydrogen hub with the launch of the Erasmopower2X project. This ambitious initiative aims to promote the production, storage, and use of green hydrogen to decarbonize the local industry and transport sectors, thereby reducing the city’s carbon footprint.

German energy company RWE is set to expand its presence in the country’s hydrogen market by investing in its filling station business. The move is part of the company’s broader strategy to support the transition to sustainable mobility

thyssenkrupp nucera, one of the leading suppliers of water electrolysis technology in the gigawatt power range, announced the brand name for its 20MW green hydrogen electrolyser, Scalum. The announcement was made at the World Hydrogen Summit 2023 in Rotterdam. Scalum, derived from ‘scale,’ pays tribute to the module’s scalability, allowing for the interconnection of multiple modules to produce high plant capacities.

Port of Newcastle, one of the largest coal exporting ports in the world, has announced its partnership with ten global energy enablers to accelerate renewable energy transition with the Platform Zero Global Partnership for Hydrogen Innovation.

BP has become the first energy company to establish a securities company in Spain, allowing it to offer financial solutions focused on energy derivatives to professional and eligible clients within the European Economic Area.

“The holy grail” of the energy future – hydrogen may soon have a very serious problem, which, if not solved quickly, will bring the whole “hydrogen revolution” to a halt for us. This is caused by the already absolute certainty that hydrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere reacts with tropospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Therefore, its uncontrolled emission into the atmosphere disturbs the distribution and holds dangerously the decomposition of methane, ozone or water vapour, which can lead us, in the short term, to a possible climate cataclysm.

Germany has long been known for its ambitious plans to transition away from fossil fuels, and green hydrogen has been a critical element in this strategy. However, the country can only meet 30% of its own needs for this clean fuel, according to German Economy Minister Robert Habeck. This shortfall has led the country to search for trade partners to deliver the remaining 70% of its green hydrogen needs.

A new report prepared by the South Asia Regional Energy Partnership (SAREP) estimates India will reach an annual green hydrogen demand of 2.85 million metric tons (MMT) by 2030 if existing momentum in the public and private sectors for green hydrogen continues and announced projects get implemented. The report highlights that the fertilizer and export sectors will account for nearly 37% and 29% of the total 2.85 MMT green hydrogen demand, respectively.
