Joint pilot projects Siemens and Thyssenkrupp promote hydrogen from Russia Hydrogen should promise a climate-friendly future for German industry. But where to get it from? Despite all political tensions Russia hopes for a new era of energy trade – and finds large corporations as advocates. Russia wants to become a major supplier of climate-friendly hydrogen…
The Finnish mother Fortum and Uniper want to become greener. From 2035, the electricity produced in Europe is to come only from renewable energies. Also the mood seems to improve after the takeover dispute. After their fierce takeover battle, the Finnish energy company Fortum and its new subsidiary Uniper want to jointly develop a more…
New climate project with Siemens. Deutsche Bahn plans test operation with hydrogen train. By 2050, Deutsche Bahn wants its network to be climate-neutral. This ambitious goal is also to be achieved with the help of hydrogen trains. The company has agreed a test run for the project with Siemens. Tests with hybrid locomotives are also…
With GAIA Hydrogen it would be easier… It is getting serious: Germany is to become climate neutral by 2050. But this will require considerable efforts, a study by environmental think tanks criticizes. For example, the increase in renewable energy needs to triple in the next ten years. This is because electricity will then be needed…
After decades of false starts, hydrogen technology is poised to take off as falling production costs, technological improvements, and a global push toward sustainability converge, according to Bank of America. The firm believes this will generate $2.5 trillion in direct revenue — or $4 trillion if revenue from associated products such as fuel cell vehicles…
As part of its stimulus package, Germany intends to expand the role of green hydrogen to help end the country’s reliance on coal. The government agreed on a plan on how to spend the €9 billion earmarked for the project.vAs part of its stimulus package, Germany intends to expand the role of green hydrogen to…
Present situation in energy terms In Germany’s energy supply system, it is necessary to make increasing use of the possibility to combine the generation of electricity with the use of the heat which is generally produced at the same time (cogeneration of heat and power) in order to reduce primary energy consumption as stipulated in…
This latest Hydrogen Council report shows that the cost of hydrogen solutions will fall sharply within the next decade – and sooner than previously expected. As scale up of hydrogen production, distribution, equipment and component manufacturing continues, cost is projected to decrease by up to 50% by 2030 for a wide range of applications, making…
A clean, safe and affordable energy supply is essential for our lives. The energy turnaround with our efforts and successes in the expansion of renewable energies and in the field of energy efficiency lays the foundation for this. With the resolutions of the Federal Cabinet on the Climate Protection Programme 2030, the Federal Government has…
Today, the Federal Government adopted a National Hydrogen Strategy for Germany. Hydrogen is key for decarbonising key German sectors such as the steel and chemical industries and the transport sector. Furthermore, hydrogen technologies have the potential to become a key field of business for German exporters. A flexible and target-driven governance structure is being set…
