Uniper has opened its Hydrogen Pilot Cavern (HPC) Krummhörn demonstration plant in Germany, featuring a storage volume of nearly 500,000 norm cubic meters of green hydrogen. It said that surface equipment for injection is now in place, with a gas tightness test scheduled for Sept. 24, 2024, to start trial operations. “Essential experience can now be gathered here that can pave the way for large-scale and commercial hydrogen storage,” said Olaf Lies, the minister of economic affairs for the German state of Lower Saxony.
Air Liquide has inaugurated a 20 MW electrolysis plant in Oberhausen, Germany. It claims that it is the largest climate-neutral hydrogen production facility in the country, with an annual capacity of up to 2,900 tons. It said the plant is connected to its existing hydrogen pipeline, supplying renewable hydrogen for key industries and zero-emission mobility applications in the Rhine and Ruhr regions. Siemens Energy co-manufactured the stacks.
The US Department of Energy said it will provide $8.8 million for 11 university-based projects aimed at enhancing hydrogen-fueled turbines. It noted that the projects will focus on developing advanced materials and components to handle the extreme conditions of hydrogen combustion, enabling gas turbines to use up to 100% clean hydrogen for low-carbon power generation.
