AXPO has started to arrange a 2.5 MW hydrogen production facility (HPF) in Switzerland remotely, while Statkraft says that the new green hydrogen projects will stop in the midst of market uncertainty.
Axpo Test the remote control of a fully automated hydrogen project in Switzerland. “After the test operation has been completed, we will step -by -step transition to an unmanned factory operation,” the Swiss company told an unmanned factory PV -MagazineExplain that the project remains challenging. “Enerzijds moeten de sensorgegevens van de plant continu en automatisch worden gecontroleerd om ervoor te zorgen dat de componenten zoals verwacht uitvoeren en er geen veiligheidsrisico’s zijn, en in het geval dat een probleem wordt gedetecteerd, moet de plant in staat zijn om veilig te worden gesloten. Soepel moet het proces worden ontworpen om de inspanning te minimaliseren, terwijl de eindgebruiker in gedachten wordt gehouden, “zei Luka Cuderman, Axpo’s hoofdwaterstof Business strategist. The company introduces the test operation with its 2.5 MW hydrogen project in Domat/EMS (Switzerland). This week, it broke ground in Wildegg-Brugg (Switzerland) for the first phase of its project to target h2 supply for local transportation starting in 2026. Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS) or Our Partner addslin Meyer, “Said Cuderman. In Uri (Switzerland) the construction works started in December 2024. In France, the construction of one hour in the Arve valley should start in the second half of this year; An electrolyzer will follow.
Statkrraft However, it has decided to stop the new development of hydrogen Parts of his portfolio will are further adult Before looking for investors to realize the projects. “We have 13 projects in different stages of development in six countries, Norway, Sweden, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands And Italy, with a total capacity of more than 1000 MW, “Statkrraft said PV -Magazine. Various projects have received external financing options and the company works together with the authorities to guarantee their progress. “After lowering the ambition level on green hydrogen development last year, we experience even more uncertainty in the market. That is why Statkraft has decided to stop the new development of green hydrogen And to go ahead We will prioritize growth opportunities in other technologies” And market activities, “says Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal, president and CEO of Statkraft.
European energy said that the Kassø e-methanol facility in Aabenraa, Denmark, started delivering e-methanol to offtakers. The factory has an annual production capacity of 42,000 tons and runs entirely on renewable energy. It is located next to the 304 MW Kassø-Zonne energy plant and combines green hydrogen on site with biogenic CO₂. European energy developed the project and has it with Mitsui. Solar Park Kassø APS owns the facility under Kassø Midco, with European energy with an interest of 51% and Mitsui 49%. European energy said that this is the world’s first project to produce e-methanol on a commercial scale. “The start of the activities at Kassø marks an important step forward in bringing power-to-x technologies in real-world use,” said Knud Erik Andersen, CEO of European Energy. “This is renewable energy in action, which transforms how we use electricity.”
CPH2 has signed a license agreement with Lisheen H2 Energy Park Limited, which acts under the name Hidrigin, which covers the construction of 2 GW of MFE electrolyzers in Ireland for a maximum of 20 years. “In addition to signing the license agreement, the parties have entered into a sale for the delivery of a 1MW MFE220-Electrolyzer unit by CPH2,” said CPH2 established in the UK.
