A recent joint report by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) summarized innovation and patent trends in the hydrogen economy.

The Valle H2V Navarra joint project by ACCIONA Energa and Plug Power to construct a large-scale, environmentally friendly hydrogen production facility in Rocaforte, Sangüesa, has been presented to the Navarra government.

In order to create a 50kW hydrogen auxiliary engine demonstration with zero emissions, Carisbrooke Shipping has teamed with Carnot, whose consortium was awarded £2.3M.

A new technology production facility for the creation of green hydrogen will receive a 30 million euro investment from the Government of Navarra and Nordex. This project will create more than 150 direct jobs and deploy an overall investment of more than 70 million euros over the course of the next eight years.

German Finance Minister Christian Lindner told Reuters that we require hydrogen in all shades in response to a dispute taking place in Brussels over hydrogen produced by nuclear vs renewable energy.

Hydrogen is stored and transported using a lot of ammonia. The security dangers for the ports in Rotterdam and Zeeland worry DCMR. You’re talking about 100,000 train cars every year when it comes to large-scale ammonia storage.

At the presentation of the feasibility study for the establishment and expansion of an effective hydrogen transport network in Brandenburg, Brandenburg’s Minister of Economic Affairs Jörg Steinbach stated that the state not only has the potential to expand a green hydrogen infrastructure but that the future of the state’s fundamental industries will also depend on it.

On the strength of a £36 million investment from major players in the sector, a hydrogen pioneer is poised to strengthen green capabilities and expand its business.

Less than a month after its UAE counterpart, Masdar, signed a comparable agreement, Saudi Arabia’s government-affiliated renewables firm Acwa Power has decided to work with the State Oil Corporation of Azerbaijan Republic (Socar) on the creation of green hydrogen.

The second phase of H2Pipe, a joint industry project (JIP) to create a new code for the design, re-qualification, construction, and operation of offshore pipelines to transport hydrogen — either pure or blended with natural gas — is now being launched by DNV, the world’s leading independent energy expert and assurance provider.
