Nippon Gases and HOYER lead with Germany’s first hydrogen-powered dry ice truck | Hydrogen

Nippon Gases Deutschland and HOYER Group have introduced Germany’s first hydrogen-powered truck for dry ice logistics, marking a major step toward decarbonising industrial gas transport. The hydrogen-powered Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell truck, leased from hylane GmbH, is now operational and tailored to meet the demands of dry ice logistics. The truck, which has a range of 450 km and refuels in under 15 minutes, is projected to save approximately 69,000 kilograms of CO2 annually compared to diesel alternatives. Unveiled at Nippon Gases’ Hürth site on 8th January, 2025, the initiative highlights the potential of hydrogen in reducing emissions within heavy-duty logistics. Mona Neubaur, North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister for Economic Affairs, participated in the demonstration, stressing hydrogen’s role in achieving climate neutrality. “Hydrogen-powered trucks excel where battery-electric vehicles fall short, such as in long-haul freight. Initiatives like… Read More »Nippon Gases and HOYER lead with Germany’s first hydrogen-powered dry ice truck | Hydrogen

Port of Açu and Yamna to develop green ammonia plant in Brazil | Ammonia

Port of Açu Operações (Port of Açu) and YamnaCo have signed a land reservation agreement in the new hub for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives in the port industrial complex of Port of Açu in the northeast of Rio de Janeiro State to develop a green ammonia project. The port is reserving 2m sqm for green hydrogen projects and the new area adds to the 1m sqm already licensed. The deal opens up the prospect of a green hydrogen and ammonia corridor linking Brazil with Belgium. Yamna, targeting a production capacity of up to one million tonnes per year (mtpa), expects to reach the final investment decision by 2027 and start producing its first green molecules in 2030. Privately owned by Prumo Logística and Port of Antwerp-Bruges International, Port of Açu is one of Brazil’s… Read More »Port of Açu and Yamna to develop green ammonia plant in Brazil | Ammonia

Year-end review and policy trends in 2025 | Columnists

Marijn Van Diessen, CEO STX Group, reflects on major developments in 2024 and highlights what to watch out for in 2025. As 2024 drew to a close, the global landscape of climate action, decarbonisation and energy transition changed dramatically, and we are set for a transformative year ahead. With geopolitical shifts, new leadership in the European Commission and evolving technological advancements, 2025 promises to be a year of significant change. Among the most anticipated developments is the return of Donald Trump to the US presidency and its potential implications for US climate policy and international cooperation. Additionally, the newly appointed European Commission will face challenges in balancing energy affordability with ambitious climate goals. Here are my key trends to watch in 2025. The new European Commission’s approach to decarbonisation, competitiveness, energy affordability and sovereigntyThe newly… Read More »Year-end review and policy trends in 2025 | Columnists

$21bn green hydrogen hub to be built in India

NTPC Green Energy Ltd, the clean energy arm of India’s largest thermal power producer, NTPC Ltd, is developing a $21bn green hydrogen hub as the country looks to scale up its efforts in clean energy production. To be located in the region of Andhra Pradesh, the project will be the first green hydrogen hub under the National Green Hydrogen Mission – an initiative launched in 2023 that targets the production of at least five million metric tonnes of green hydrogen per year. Equipped with a capacity of 20GW (gigawatts), the facility is earmarked to produce 1500 tonnes per day (tpd) of green hydrogen and 7500 tpd green hydrogen derivatives such as green methanol, green ura and sustainable aviation fuel. According to a government statement released yesterday (6th January), Prime Minister Narendra Modi will ‘lay the… Read More »$21bn green hydrogen hub to be built in India

Funding and support for hydrogen | Features

Green hydrogen projects are coming through, but slowly, with challenges around securing buyers for supply, which would drive final investment decisions on projects. In a panel discussion at Wood Mackenzie’s Hydrogen Conference 2024, in November last year, the challenge was discussed by three key players in hydrogen finance and investment. Christian Annesley reports In a context where lots of capital has been provisionally allocated for hydrogen projects, but reaching final investment decisions has been hard, how to do we speed things up from here and remain optimistic? What is the shape of the market today? Arun Mago  I can give you a flavor. At Société Générale we are advising on several projects and also helping clients to raise equity. Right now, my team is taking our first transaction to credit – that is, helping a… Read More »Funding and support for hydrogen | Features

US eases 45V hydrogen tax credit rules | Hydrogen

Hourly matching requirements have been pushed back until 2030 Hourly matching requirements have been pushed back until 2030 The US Treasury’s much-awaited response on the implementation of 45 hydrogen tax credits sees greater timeline flexibility and provisions for nuclear operators. Under the initial proposal, released in December 2023, producers would have had to match their clean hydrogen plant’s operations with renewable electricity production within the same hour from 2028. However, the hourly matching requirement has now been pushed back until 2030. A new pathway has been added to allow for existing nuclear reactors, up to 200MW, as a viable electricity source for hydrogen producers, reflecting that certain nuclear reactors are at greater risk of retirement based on certain economic factors, and if nuclear retirement is averted then the additional demand from hydrogen production will not… Read More »US eases 45V hydrogen tax credit rules | Hydrogen

Singapore powers ahead with hydrogen plants | Singapore

© Energy Market Authority © Energy Market Authority Singapore is stepping up efforts to develop hydrogen and decarbonise heavy industry. Last November, ground was broken on the 600 megawatt (MW) Keppel Sakra Cogen plant which is expected to be ready in the first half of next year. Once operational, the plant will expand Keppel’s generation capacity by nearly 50% to 1,900 MW. That came hot on the heels of YTL PowerSaraya starting work on a 600MW hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) at its Pulau Seraya Power Station (PSPS) site. Today (3rd January), the Energy Market Authority (EMA) awarded PacificLight Power (PLP) the right to build, own, and operate a new hydrogen-ready CCGT generating unit, seeing off five competitors in the process. It will also offer at least 600 MW in generation capacity, and slated… Read More »Singapore powers ahead with hydrogen plants | Singapore

Oman to set up Net Zero Centre | Decarbonisation

© Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals © Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals Oman is to set up a Net Zero Centre to monitor the implementation of projects and provide technical support as it strives to meet its goal of zero neutrality by 2050. The Sultanate, which benefits from abundant solar and wind resources, is actively targeting hydrogen, ammonia and low-carbon development and exports, with more than 50,000sq km currently allocated to green hydrogen production. The Centre will help in adopting and transferring the latest international practices and technologies while supporting scientific research, innovation, and developing national capabilities. Eight projects have been awarded to date, which are expected to produce 1,380 ktpa of green hydrogen. It will also oversee the registration and approval of requests for carbon certificate trading at the domestic level, ensuring… Read More »Oman to set up Net Zero Centre | Decarbonisation

Linde in 2024: Key projects, decarbonisation goals, and 2025 general outlook | Interviews

The past year has been one of many notable projects, investments, partnerships, and targets for industrial gas giant Linde, as it enhanced its focus on decarbonisation both for itself and its customers. Notably, the year saw Linde’s largest-ever sale-of-gas project signed with chemical company Dow in Canada and partnering with Heidelberg Materials in Germany to break ground on what is believed to be the world’s first large-scale carbon capture and utilisation facility in the cement industry. To reflect on some of these successes and the wider year, as well as cast an eye to the year ahead, gasworld sat down with Nicolas Pattera, President of Linde Canada, to discuss his view on 2024. What has 2024 been like for Linde? Has the company achieved all it wanted to achieve this year? What have been some… Read More »Linde in 2024: Key projects, decarbonisation goals, and 2025 general outlook | Interviews
