Eurogas’ Post

Label-Casian Notulescu, Secretary of State, Minister of Energy, Romania, was a keynote speaker on Day 2 of the Canadian Hydrogen Convention. He began by discussing how the hydrogen sector is at the early stages, but represents a promising piece of the energy transition. Romania is developing a Hydrogen Strategy with a focus on supporting the pathways to 2035 and 2050, specifically in the industrial and transportation sectors. It is necessary to invest in opportunities to facilitate injection of hydrogen into the existing natural gas infrastructure. Romania has successfully trialed 20% hydrogen into the existing natural gas infrastructure with no impact to end-users. He also stressed that there is a need for appropriate training and education in the hydrogen sector. Collaboration between government and industry was identified as a key requirement to advancing the hydrogen sector, something that has been a bit of a theme at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention. Label-Casian emphasized that for Romania, hydrogen is not just an energy carrier, but rather a symbol of innovation. From my perspective, the same could hold true for Alberta and Canada. #CHC2024 #hydrogen #cleanenergy #cleantechnologies #energy #HydrogenWeekYEG #H2Week2024

This past month, irex Consulting participated in three key hydrogen events: • Belgian Hydrogen Council Conference (Brussels)  • European Hydrogen Week by Hydrogen Europe (Brussels)  • Horizon Hydrogène by Gazelec (Paris) Global Perspective Hydrogen is shaping up to be a truly global market. Success depends on international partnerships and ecosystems integrating the full hydrogen value chain. EU Trends The EU is driving hydrogen infrastructure with major pipeline corridors linking Europe to North Africa, aiming to decarbonize industries and transport while creating an integrated market. Belgium Positioning as a key hydrogen hub, Belgium is investing in import/export infrastructure (e.g., ammonia terminals) and fostering local production, market creation, and balancing mechanisms. Check out the interactive hydrogen map launched by the BHC (link in comment). France France’s €7 billion hydrogen plan targets decarbonizing transport and industry, aiming for EU leadership in hydrogen innovation. At irex Consulting, we’re proud to support the hydrogen transition with strategic insights, market analysis, and project development expertise. Let’s connect to drive your hydrogen journey! #hydrogen #energytransition #irex

🌍🚚 HYDROGEN: ITALY-GERMANY, SOUTH H2 CORRIDOR 4 MILLION TONNES PER YEAR FROM NORTH AFRICA #hydrogen #Italy #Germany #energy transition #South H2 Corridor #North Africa 📰 (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - Milan, 1 Apr - Hydrogen Increasingly at the centre of the race towards the Energy transition. And relations between Italy and Germany. Taking stock of the Italy-Germany Action Plan, signed last November, and the H2 Southern Corridor Project, which aims to connect North Africa with Central Europe also for hydrogen transport, the Bavarian-Italian Hydrogen Forum, organised by H2IT - Italian Hydrogen Association with H2. B (Hydrogen Centre Bavaria) and Italcam (Italian Chamber of Commerce Munich-Stuttgart), with more than 120 representatives of the hydrogen industry in Bavaria and Italy.

🌍Yesterday, the future EU hydrogen transmission network operators (#HTNOs) took another step forward towards shaping Europe's future hydrogen infrastructure, with the establishment of a voluntary cooperation and the election of a management structure to steer activities during 2025. Labelled as Pre-ENNOH, this initiative will lay the groundwork needed for ENNOH to fulfil the regulatory tasks allocated by the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package in 2025 and 2026. DESFA's Chief Strategy & Development Officer, Michael Thomadakis, has been appointed as a board member of Pre-ENNOH, highlighting DESFA’s commitment to advancing hydrogen infrastructure in Greece, as part of a robust and interconnected hydrogen network across Europe. At DESFA, we are proud to be at the forefront of Europe’s journey toward decarbonization and an integrated European hydrogen economy. Together, we are laying the foundation for a resilient and sustainable energy future. 🌱 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dM6z3-YU #DESFA #Hydrogen #Hydrogennetwork #EnergySystemPlanning #ENNOH #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

A new development of near-shore green hydrogen projects within Europe has been started by HydePoint and Norwegian Hydrogen. It has been planned that together these projects will jointly develop 10-40MW dockside. Furthermore, it has also been planned that HydePoint will be responsible for providing its hydrogen production technology which is suitable for marine environments. On the other hand, Norwegian Hydrogen will bring forwards their expertise in operating hydrogen infrastructure. The article below depicts a new project that will be taking place soon and it also highlights the specific role that each company will play. It also displays how important it is for the hydrogen industry and for companies involved in this industry, to be constantly pushing for better results, with the aim of advancing their sectors.

Have you heard about the exciting news from East Germany? Six states have joined forces to create the Initiative for Hydrogen in East Germany (IWO). Their mission? To make their region the heart of a sustainable hydrogen economy in Germany! 💪 They're not just talking the talk, either. They're working on two proposals to present at the upcoming state energy ministers' conference in May. One will focus on creating regulations that support hydrogen projects, and the other on expanding pipelines to transport green hydrogen. 🚚 Why is this a big deal? Well, the region already has a lot of industries that use hydrogen, like chemicals and oil refining. But they want to make sure they have the infrastructure and support they need to keep growing and becoming even more sustainable. They're already making progress, too! There are projects like VNG's facility in Bad Lauchstädt energy park, which will supply green hydrogen to a nearby refinery. But they know they need to do more to catch up with other parts of Germany. So, what can we learn from this? It's all about collaboration and working together. By joining forces, these states are showing us that we can achieve more when we support each other. And when it comes to creating a sustainable future, we need all the support we can get! 🤝 #hydrogeneconomy #sustainability #collaboration https://lnkd.in/dFUWiWcZ

💬 This is what it will cost to transport hydrogen, from North Africa to Germany, through the Southern corridor2: Snam estimates. 🌍🔋 🚀🏗️ #hydrogen #transport #Snam #decarbonization #Europe #hydrogengreen #corridorSouth2 📅 The opportunities for collaboration between Italy and Germany in the hydrogen value chain are numerous and extend along the 3,300 kilometers of the SoutH2 Corridor. This new infrastructure for hydrogen transport from North Africa to Germany via Italy and Austria is being developed by Snam in collaboration with the TSOs of the countries involved (TAG, CGA and bayernets). 🔍 A gas pipeline will make it possible to transport hydrogen produced at competitive costs on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, aimed mainly at the consumer markets of Central Europe. This corridor will be crucial to replace methane of Russian origin and decarbonize European industries, explained Piero Ercoli, executive director of Snam's Decarbonization Unit, during the Italian-German Energy Forum 2024, organized in Rome by the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Germany - ITKAM (event of which HydroNews was Media Partner). 🔗📌 Details: https://bit.ly/4cAznec .
