The first 32 km section of the Dutch hydrogen network has been completed in the Rotterdam port area, with the final pipes welded together in mid-August.

Transmission system operators Enagás (Spain), via its affiliate Enagás Infraestructuras de Hidrógeno (EIH), and French TSOs NaTran and Teréga have signed a shareholders’ agreement establishing a joint venture for the development of the BarMar hydrogen pipeline – an EU Project of Common Interest (PCI) and a central component of the H2med corridor.

DB Cargo BTT, together with Hexagon Purus, Endress+Hauser, Infraserv Höchst and Fraunhofer IML, has developed a new solution for the safe and sustainable rail transport of gaseous hydrogen.

Gasunie and Storag Etzel have begun injecting hydrogen into two repurposed salt caverns in Etzel, Lower Saxony, as part of the H2CAST Etzel pilot project. Approximately 90 tonnes of hydrogen are being delivered from Plug Power’s production site in Werlte, Germany, and stored underground in the caverns.

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.
