Luxcara has made a final investment decision for its hydrogen project in Norway. The electrolysis plant in the municipality of Bodø will have 20 MW capacity in the first phase, which produces up to 3,100 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. In phase two, the company will add another 10 MW. In December 2024, Luxcara and Greenh obtained a subsidy of NOK 129 million ($ 11.4 million) from ENOVA, a state -owned company. “Preparatory work is already underway on site and commercial operation is planned To start with in 2026 “, said Luxcara from Germany. The green hydrogen produced will be made Available for a local ferry service, which is also planned To start working in 2026. It said that the Bodø project will be the first project that will provide green hydrogen under pressure with a plant to a seagoing vessel.
ACWA Power has drawn a memorandum of agreement with Snam to set up a green hydrogen supply chain from Saudi Aarabia to Europe. The companies will also evaluate the development of an ammonia import terminal in Italy to facilitate the hydrogen delivery via the South2 CorridorA route of 3,300 km that Central Europe reaches via Italy, Austria and Germany. ACWA Power and Snam said they will consider joint investments.
Save Ether has started with injecting the first amounts of hydrogen into two caves in Friedeburg, Germany, with a planned total of 90 tons with a maximum pressure of 170 bar. “The gaseous hydrogen handed over with a pressure of 300 bar by truck trailers moves the brine from the caves during storage via the Cavern head and borehole pipes suitable for hydrogen,” said The German company noted that the Etzel caves are scalable and flexible. Up to three hydrogen truck loads arrive every week until the summer. In total, around 200 truck loads are needed to fill the caves with hydrogen.
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Isee) said that the life cycle assessment for hydrogen technologies depends on the role of hydrogen in the future energy mix. The German research institution now offers the analysis for hydrogen clients and its derivatives, such as methanol, ammonia, dimethyl ether (DME) and synthetic fuels such as kerosene.
