As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change and transition towards a low-carbon future, the quest for clean and sustainable energy sources has become paramount. In this pursuit, natural hydrogen is emerging as a promising contender, and pioneering geological data specialist Getech is taking the lead in harnessing the potential of this low-carbon energy resource.

In the race towards a greener and more sustainable future, hydrogen has emerged as a game-changer in the energy landscape. Just three years ago, the concept of hydrogen was met with skepticism, but today, it has become the focus of ambitious projects across Spain, each vying to establish its own “hydrogen valley.”

In a significant move towards building a sustainable and globally harmonized hydrogen economy, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Unido) and the Hydrogen Council, a leading global private sector organization, have signed a joint declaration to reinforce their ongoing collaboration.

thyssenkrupp Uhde, a leading engineering company, has joined forces with the OFFSET consortium, led by SwitcH2 B.V., to develop a groundbreaking industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia project.

The transport authority of Lower Saxony in Germany has unveiled a bold plan to deploy 102 electric trains starting in 2029. This move comes as a potential setback for hydrogen-powered trains, specifically Alstom’s iLint Coradia, which currently runs on the EVB network.

The British gas distribution company, SGN, has received approval from energy regulator Ofgem for the next phase of its hydrogen gas trial.

Italy is taking a major step towards greener road transport with the implementation of a strategic aid plan by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

An ambitious plan to establish the UK’s first ‘Hydrogen Village’ in Redcar is making waves as Northern Gas Networks (NGN) reveals that the project could bring over £300 million in investments and generate at least 300 new jobs in the historically underfunded region.

In a bid to accelerate its journey towards carbon neutrality, Aurubis, the leading multimetal and recycling specialist, is pioneering hydrogen-powered copper production. With an ambitious commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and investing around €40 million, the company’s Hamburg plant is set to become one of the first copper smelters globally to replace natural gas with hydrogen in its anode furnaces.

The energy landscape is undergoing a transformative shift towards sustainable alternatives, and hydrogen is at the forefront of this revolution. As part of this green transition, gas distributor SGN has embarked on a groundbreaking project to trial hydrogen gas through a decommissioned pipeline in Scotland.
