CIP launches major green hydrogen project in Germany | Hydrogen

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has teamed up with Friesen Elektra Green Energy AG to launch Project Anker, a green hydrogen production facility in Sande, Lower Saxony, Germany.  The project will start with an electrolysis capacity of 400 MW, with plans to double to 800 MW in future, producing up to 80,000 tonnes of green hydrogen each year. Located near Wilhelmshaven, a key energy and industrial hub, and close to Germany’s planned hydrogen core network, Project Anker is well-positioned to support industries like steel and chemicals, as well as transport.  The facility aims to replace fossil fuels with green hydrogen, potentially reducing CO2 emissions by 2.4 million tonnes annually, roughly equal to the emissions from 340,000 households. The hydrogen production will be powered by renewable energy from wind and solar sources. Speaking about the project, Felix… Read More »CIP launches major green hydrogen project in Germany | Hydrogen

Diversify supply chains amid mounting geopolitical risks | Report

Declining optimism, deepening geopolitical tensions and tariff-led economic impacts are shrouding the world as we enter 2025 but one bright spark is a fall in inflation, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks report released ahead of the Davos conference. State-based armed conflict (23%), extreme weather events (14%) and geoeconomic confrontation (11%) head the list of concerns in the current risk landscape, followed by misinformation and disinformation (7%) and societal polarisation (6%). Interestingly disruptions to a ‘systemically important supply chain’ barely registered (1%), suggesting challenges during the COVID years have been consigned to memory, although the report still highlights the need to diversify supply chains amid ongoing conflicts. “With geopolitical volatility likely to remain high over the next two years, organisational investment in geopolitical risk foresight and risk management is a must,” it states.… Read More »Diversify supply chains amid mounting geopolitical risks | Report

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
