Germany is stepping up its commitment to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with an ambitious project that combines green hydrogen, carbon capture, and cutting-edge Fischer Tropsch (FT) technology. The collaboration between Johnson Matthey (JM) and bp has marked a significant milestone by having EDL Anlagenbau Gesellschaft select their FT CANS™ technology for the HyKero plant in Böhlen-Lippendorf, Germany.

The United Kingdom should eliminate the pursuit of hydrogen heating to shift its focus towards decarbonizing heat with electric heat pumps, according to the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), the government’s independent advisors on infrastructure.

Nearly a year ago, the BarMar hydrogen pipeline project was announced with great expectations, aiming to connect Spain and France, potentially revolutionizing the hydrogen landscape.

The UK is gearing up for a green revolution in its heavy goods vehicle (HGV) sector with the launch of the HyHAUL project, an ambitious undertaking led by Protium, the country’s largest green hydrogen energy company. This groundbreaking initiative, backed by more than £30 million from the Department for Transport and Innovate UK, aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the UK’s HGV fleet, a sector responsible for 19% of domestic transport emissions.

Germany plans to fast-track the development of its hydrogen infrastructure as the country strives to pivot to cleaner energy.

McPhy Energy, a specialist in low-carbon hydrogen equipment, and Stargate Hydrogen, an innovator in non-precious metal electrodes for next-gen alkaline electrolyzers, have joined forces.

French Transmission System Operator (TSO) GRTgaz and the French airport authority Groupe ADP have joined hands to explore the possibility of transporting hydrogen via pipelines to Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports. This groundbreaking endeavor seeks to revolutionize the way airports handle their energy needs and reduce carbon emissions.

The quest for sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial practices has led to innovative collaborations, and one such project is spearheaded by the Bay Hydrogen Hub consortium in the UK. Comprising EDF Energy, Heidelberg UK, the National Nuclear Laboratory, and Vulcan Burners, the consortium aims to transform the asphalt production industry through the power of hydrogen. At the heart of this transformation is FuelCell Energy, Inc., which has been contracted for its hydrogen production technology.

A significant milestone in Germany’s ambitious hydrogen strategy has just been achieved as a natural gas pipeline, designed for conversion to hydrogen, becomes operational. Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE), the network operator, made the groundbreaking announcement, signaling the beginning of a nationwide hydrogen pipeline network.

Airbus, a leading European aircraft manufacturer, is setting its sights on a groundbreaking development in the aviation industry. The company is eyeing the possibility of commissioning a 150-seat hydrogen plane, with the target year for potential launch set for 2035.
