Siemens Energy has entered into an agreement with the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) project – a partnership between Luxcara and Hamburger Energiewerke – to supply and install six of its latest electrolysis units for a 100 MW electrolysis system. Luxcara said that construction of the electrolysis system will begin next year, and commercial operations will begin in 2027. The HGHH is expected to produce approximately 10,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. Luxcara did not disclose the financial details of the contract.
BMW Group has agreed to work with Toyota Motor Corp. to develop a powertrain system using third-generation fuel cells for passenger cars. The collaboration aims to create synergies for both commercial and passenger car applications. BMW said the outcome will be used in models from both companies, expanding fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) options and advancing the vision of hydrogen mobility. BMW plans to introduce its first series-production FCEV in 2028.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has said that the discrepancy between hydrogen production potential and expected demand could reshape global energy trade and create opportunities for new players, including developing countries. It said in a new one report that renewable hydrogen production via electricity is likely to face the least uncertainty in meeting future regulations in markets such as the European Union, Japan and South Korea. The agency added that countries in the Global South have taken an export-oriented approach to tapping into these markets. For this strategy to succeed, IRENA said the expected growth of the global hydrogen market must occur as expected. It also predicted that multiple hydrogen tankers will coexist in the future.
Enapter has secured an order from Opificio Idrogeno Marche (OIM) for four AEM multicore electrolyzers with a total capacity of 4 MW. The German electrolyzer maker said the order is the largest deal in Europe to date and will be used in the Marche region of eastern Italy. The green hydrogen produced by Enapter’s electrolyzers will mainly be used for refueling vehicles.
DH2 energy has obtained Potential National Interest (PIN) status from the Portuguese Investment and Foreign Trade Agency (AICEP) for its VVR Green project for the production of renewable hydrogen. DH2 Energy said the plant will start with an electrolysis capacity of 35 MW and 49 MWp of solar energy, and will produce 1,650 tons of renewable hydrogen per year in the initial phase. The company said it plans to expand the plant to 75 MW electrolysis and 100 MW PV in the second phase.
