Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies has secured official approval to build and operate the world’s largest commercial hydrogen storage facility using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology at Chempark Dormagen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

A groundbreaking Joint Development Agreement (JDA) has been signed to establish the world’s first liquid hydrogen (LH₂) import corridor, connecting the port of Duqm in Oman, the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and key logistics hubs in Germany, including the port of Duisburg.

CB&I and a consortium including Shell International Exploration and Production, GenH2, and the University of Houston have announced the completion of a first-of-its-kind, affordable, large-scale liquid hydrogen (LH₂) storage tank concept at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama.

Fluxys has announced the start of construction of the first phase of its hydrogen pipeline network in Belgium.

The results of HYBRIT’s pilot project for hydrogen gas storage demonstrate that it is technically feasible to store fossil-free hydrogen gas for the production of fossil-free iron and steel on an industrial scale. This can also reduce the variable operating costs of hydrogen production by up to 40%.

Nord Steel has secured a €1.4 million contract with the EPC contractor MT Group to manufacture and supply hydrogen storage tanks for the upcoming green hydrogen production and refueling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania.

Höegh Evi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the port of Port-La Nouvelle to develop a floating terminal for hydrogen imports. The hydrogen will be imported from producers in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new technology for the seasonal storage of hydrogen that is considered much safer and cheaper than existing solutions. This method involves a reaction between hydrogen and iron oxide, resulting in iron that is easy to store and can later be converted back into hydrogen and iron oxide.

On 26 August, Uniper held an opening ceremony for the Hydrogen Pilot Cavern (HPC) demonstration plant in Krummhörn, Germany. The pilot cavern will be used to investigate and test the full potential of a salt cavern specially built for the storage of green hydrogen under operational conditions.
