Green hydrogen will be produced in a factory in Delfzijl by the Amsterdam-based Torrgas using discarded wood and grass from the side of the road. Torrgas anticipates spending between 80 and 100 million euros on the new facility.
Enagás Renovables and Naturgy will build a renewable hydrogen production plant with a 280 megawatt electrolyser on the property of the La Robla coal-fired power station in Leon, investing more than 400 million euros and creating more than 50 jobs in its operation and maintenance.
Inerco and the technology companies TSO and VGE have agreed to work together to develop integrated energy solutions for the entire hydrogen chain, including fuel cells, hydrogen filling stations for vehicles, storage units and systems, automobiles, and other equipment.
The Walloon government has just approved the implementation of two projects of common European interest (IPCEI) on hydrogen, namely the John Cockerill Hydrogen project and the Columbus project, for which Engie and Carmeuse have combined their powers. A budget of over 88 million euros and the hiring of 250 FTEs are projected.
The Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security funds the national project “Ecostore H2,” which aims to develop eco-sustainable ultra-porous polymers and carbons for the storage and transportation of hydrogen.
A German project to increase the use of clean energy for home heating is on track to heat certain homes in the southwest of the nation with 30% “green” energy blended with natural gas in the coming weeks, according to the project’s sponsor.
A Green Hydrogen Esslingen project demonstrates how energy-intensive green hydrogen production must be coordinated across industries in order to be commercially viable, including waste heat recovery, natural gas replacement, and energy-efficient operation.
