In the future, process heat from local hydrogen production will also be fed into the system. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2025. © Arcelor Mittal Personnel Rainer Böse appointed new CEO of Arcelor Mittal Germany 09/03/2025 - The executive is assuming leadership in addition to his existing responsibilities in Bremen and Eisenhüttenstadt. He is calling for political support for the climate-neutral transformation of steel production. © Thyssenkrupp Nucera Green iron PGS plans to purchase 1.4 GW electrolyzer from Thyssenkrupp Nucera 09/03/2025 - The Australian project developer Progressive Green Solutions (PGS) has selected Thyssenkrupp Nucera as its preferred supplier of electrolyzers with a total capacity of 1.4 GW. The technology is intended to supply green hydrogen for a large-scale project to produce green iron. © University of Basel Research & Development Progress in light-driven hydrogen production 09/03/2025 - Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a molecule that can store four charges simultaneously under the influence of light. This approach is considered an important intermediate step on the path toward CO2-neutral solar fuels such as hydrogen. © Asahi Kasei Technology New test facility in Portugal aims to reduce electricity consumption in electrolysis 09/02/2025 - The Portuguese chemical company Bondalti has commissioned a new chlor-alkali production facility in Estarreja, Portugal. At its core are nine electrolysers from Asahi Kasei, including a test system designed to improve efficiency. The goal is to enable more resource-efficient production. Politics © AquaVentus Förderverein e. V. / falm group GmbH Politics and Law „Offshore electrolysers must once again be classified as projects of overriding public interest!“ 08/11/2025 - This is the unanimous demand of the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) and the AquaVentus Förderverein, whose goal is to produce green hydrogen directly at sea using offshore wind energy and transport it to shore via pipeline. Transport via pipelines is described as a cost-effective, fast and environmentally friendly solution. © scharfsinn86 - stock.adobe.com Position paper Hydrogen Europe calls for targeted support for hydrogen in transport 07/17/2025 - Hydrogen Europe has published a position paper on the European Commission’s planned Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP). The association is calling for targeted support measures to accelerate the scale-up of hydrogen in the transport sector – particularly in aviation, shipping and heavy-duty transport.

The aim is to establish decentralized hydrogen production plants in Europe – particularly in Spain and Finland. © Infineon Semiconductor production Linde commissions electrolysis plant for Infineon in Villach 08/20/2025 - Linde has commissioned an electrolysis plant for the local production of green hydrogen at Infineon’s site in Villach. The plant covers the entire hydrogen demand of the semiconductor production and replaces fossil-based deliveries from Germany. Show all H2 in Municipalities © N. H. Petersen Everything combined in one unit Infener wants to supply entire neighborhoods with self-sufficient energy 03/13/2025 - The Swiss company Infener wants to promote hydrogen throughout Europe. Decentralized H2 hubs will be used to generate green electricity as well as green heat. The Ecore One is a compact containerized solution that combines various energy technologies in one unit: electrolyzer, fuel cell and battery as well as compressor and a heat pump with its own energy management system or EMS. H2 production is due to start 2027 at a site in the Black Forest, Germany. However, the needs of regional industry are already far greater today. Hydrogen Regions series: HyExpert Havelland The Havelland wants to become even greener 08/29/2023 - Green hydrogen is an important building block of the energy transition. With its help, regenerative energy can be stored and used as needed in a wide variety of sectors. But how will the generation, storage, distribution and use of hydrogen come together? An answer to this question is the goal of the project H2VL of the regional district (Landkreis) Havelland: Various local players along the entire hydrogen value chain are being identified, networked and supported in the implementation of their projects – from production through distribution to use. For this, Havelland is being supported by the German transport ministry, through the hydrogen and fuel cell innovation support program NIP2, with nearly 400,000 euros as one of the 15 winners of the title HyExpert Region.
