It also works the other way round: While mostly large US corporations take over foreign companies, in this case it is a German company that has bought up ViCTORi, LLC. At the beginning of July, the Eberspächer Group announced that it had acquired 100 per cent of the North American compressor manufacturer from Boulder, Colorado. With this step, the automotive supplier from Esslingen secured access to the worldwide hydrogen and fuel cell market. (more…)
Hydrogen Regions series: HyPerformer H2Rivers and H2Rhein-Neckar
The metropolitan region of Rhine-Neckar and the central Neckar area in Germany are set to become a showcase for the future of fuel cell mobility. As part of an innovative strategy covering hydrogen production, distribution and transportation as well as various mobility applications, plans will seek to exploit synergies between H2Rivers – a HyPerformer project – and the H2Rhein-Neckar program in Baden-Württemberg.

The transmission system operators Gascade Gastransport GmbH and Ontras Gastransport GmbH are planning to set up an eastern German hydrogen hub with doing hydrogen. Within this framework, H2 production, transport, storage and consumption in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt are to be bundled. A regional H2 pipeline network is to be installed for this purpose by 2026, in which about two-thirds of the existing natural gas infrastructure will be converted and one-third of supplementary H2 pipelines will be newly built. Christoph von dem Bussche, Managing Director of Gascade, explained: “Together we can initiate the rapid development of a hydrogen economy in eastern Germany. With 475 kilometres of launch network, we can quickly build large H2 capacity and also expand internationally.” Gascade further told H2-international: “Our approach is to build a physical hub. We want to create the transport infrastructure as a link between the production and consumption of hydrogen.”
Just in time for the federal election, the responsible federal ministries announced that the federal government had “reached a decisive milestone with one million e-cars on German roads”.

In the old brick shed of a former schnapps factory, the inventor couple Stefanie and Lars Holger Engelhard have designed their tugboat and built a prototype. On 7 August 2021, the christening of this prototype of an electrically driven catamaran took place in the presence of Dr. Bernd Buchholz, the Minister of Economic Affairs of Schleswig-Holstein. Starting in spring 2023, the ZeroOne could chauffeur excursionists from Schleswig’s city harbour across the Schlei River to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Viking Museum in Haithabu, or so the plan goes. Another two years later, the hybrid boat designed for up to twelve people could then be travelling autonomously, i.e. without a driver. (more…)
