Global Energy Storage (GES) and Provaris Energy have agreed to develop a hydrogen import facility at the Port of Rotterdam, capable of importing compressed gaseous hydrogen and refrigerated ammonia, with flexible redelivery options via barges, rail, and trucks. The significance of this venture extends beyond mere infrastructure. By tapping into Rotterdam's strategic location, the facility will seamlessly integrate with the HyNetwork (H2 grid) operated by Gasunie, facilitating the distribution of hydrogen across Europe. The joint efforts will include in-depth studies covering various aspects such as jetty facilities, storage, grid connection, safety protocols, and environmental considerations to evaluate the economic viability and unloading of compressed hydrogen carriers. Provaris Energy's innovative compressed hydrogen supply chain will offer a first mover, providing a competitive alternative to traditional chemical carriers from regional supply sources in the Nordic regions that can extend across the Baltics, North Sea, Iberia and North Africa. This move underscores their commitment to driving sustainable energy solutions on a global scale. #Hydrogen #SustainableEnergy #Innovation https://lnkd.in/ggzrTgHb

#asx listed Provaris Energy has signed a non-binding MoU with German utility powerhouse Uniper to evaluate the supply of green hydrogen to Germany using Provaris's compressed hydrogen carriers. Uniper's strategy for the transition to green fuels includes an $8 billion capital investment program. The company has 200 TWh hours of gas business that needs to be 80% green by 2030 across its core markets of Germany, the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands. In terms of hydrogen, this is equivalent to 4 to 5 million tonnes per annum of volume, of which up to 80% will come via imports from countries such as Norway - where Provaris has a collaboration agreement with Norwegian Hydrogen. Provaris is listed in Germany on Börse Frankfurt and Trade Republic #wasserstoff #greenhydrogen #hydrogenenergy #asxnews #equities #investing #esginvesting #impactinvesting

Hydrogen continues to gain traction as a low-carbon energy source with major potential. Here’s one point of evidence: The European Commission aims to produce 10 million tons and import 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen in the European Union by 2030. Elsewhere, analysts expect hydrogen electrolyzer sales in China to more than double in 2023 as the country continues rolling out green hydrogen projects. Swagelok Malaysia

GES and Provaris Energy have entered a collaboration agreement to develop a gaseous hydrogen import facility at the GES terminal in Rotterdam.   GES is developing a multi-client, multi-product terminal in Rotterdam, able to import both refrigerated ammonia and compressed hydrogen, with redeliveries into barges, rail, truck and the H2 grid (HyNetwork) operated by Gasunie.   Under the collaboration, GES and Provaris will complete a comprehensive prefeasibility study to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of berthing and unloading of Provaris’ H2Neo compressed hydrogen carriers. Activities will also include the joint marketing of the proposed facility where Provaris will be responsible for the transportation of the hydrogen in the H2Neo carriers and GES responsible for the discharge and injection into the hydrogen grid.   Peter Vucins, CEO of GES said, “This collaboration with Provaris showcases the types of partnerships that GES is pursuing to facilitate the Energy Transition through our contribution with storage and logistics solutions, at Rotterdam as well as other existing and future locations. I welcome the opportunity to work closely with Provaris to develop a cost competitive import solution for Rotterdam and European energy customers.”   Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/edJDBjCC   #PortOfRotterdam #globalenergystorage #energystorage #energytransition

Pioneering the Future of Green Hydrogen and E-Fuel Production Globally We at European Energy are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the global e-fuel landscape. As part of our commitment to be frontrunners on Green Hydrogen we have won three tenders in Denmark, one of which is a next-generation e-fuel facility. This plant, slated to be near Padborg in southern Denmark, boasts an impressive 150MW electrolyzer production capacity – an ambitious endeavour that triples the size of our forthcoming Kassø plant, soon to be a leading e-methanol facility on its own. Further amplifying our role as market leaders, we're set to enhance production capabilities at both Kassø and Maade, reinforcing the strength of Power-to-X in the European and global energy sectors. This is not just a win for Denmark, but for nations worldwide, setting the tone for a global transition away from fossil fuels, and championing sustainable alternatives that will reshape transportation and industries for generations to come. In the UK we are excited by the potential of e-fuels and green hydrogen and we are working hard to bring the benefits of this innovation to our local communities and industries in the future. #greenhydrogen #efuels #renewableenergy

Ireland launched a hydrogen strategy in 2023. It told us the reasons why many green hydrogen opportunities won't work in Ireland (not all untrue) and mostly said that hydrogen in Ireland should be used to provide a decarbonised, long term storage solution for our power system to back up to our current fleet of gas turbines. But there were no incentives considered for this, no legislative changes proposed, no pathways suggested to get from an idea to its execution, or any attempt to de-risk it for those who will be expected to acheive the governments own targets🙄 Which is dissappointing.......because in Denmark the first Power-to-X tender was just granted last week (bidding opened in April 23) with a total support over 10 years for projects to actually produce Hydrogen, and to the tune of €170 million (1.25 billion Danish Krone) for successful projects. A few main points: - It was a competitive process with 3x cover ratio, - 280MW of electrolyser capacity was secured, - Subsidy is in the form of a simple top up paid on evidence of production - Maximum top up possible was less than €1.20/kg with the lowest bidding project obtaining just 15 cent per kg (and it was a pay-as-bid subsidy) - Winning projects have four years to build the electrolysis plants to start the production. The reasonably low/kg level of support and simplicity of application shows that the production of hydrogen IS possible in the near term in an EU country with similar wind and solar characteristics to Ireland (although with easier planning and unburdened with some of our higher grid & costs and council rates). If we have real interest in having a hydrogen economy (including power-to-x and SAF) at any stage between now and 2030, acquiring operational expertise and encouraging the buildout of the European Hydrogen Backbone to Ireland we need to step out from the back of the class and act! Also, it was good news for us at European Energy as the Power-to-X team secured 179MW of the total 280MW of support which will enable us to continue to forge ahead as leaders in Power-to-X and hydrogen production internationally 😀
