The APEX Group will be the heart of the project—a 10 MW electrolysis plant for hydrogenproduction. Earlier post.). —EWE CEO Stefan Dohler.
As part of the publicly funded Enerport II project, Duisport, one of the world’s largest inland ports, will commission a new terminal with a hydrogen-based supply network during 2024. In the future, most of the electrical and thermal energy required in the port will be generated directly on site from hydrogen in a CO 2 -neutral manner.
Produced under series production conditions, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL has been in day-to-day use with customers in the European and US markets since 2010. Mercedes-Benz began limited production of the B-Class F-Cell in 2009. Daimler is planning for sereis production of F-Cell vehicles from 2017 onwards. million miles).
At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. With this project the partners are also testing the use of sponge iron in steel production from 2024. The first step in the research project is to produce more than one ton of green iron/hour using green hydrogen.
This raises the possibility that a switch to these oils might impede or foreclose the total reduction in emissions from all sources that is needed to avoid severe climate disruption. Accurate prediction of emissions from substitutes for conventional petroleum is therefore critical for climateprotection. —Karras 2010.
Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) will award up to €80 million to support the construction of electrolysis plants for the production of green hydrogen for the transport sector. Hydrogen and fuel cell applications are a future technology with great potential for the transport sector.
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), together with international project partners, has inaugurated the largest solar-chemical installation yet for the production of hydrogen. In addition, it is a component in the production of synthetic fuels such as methane, methanol, gasoline and kerosene.
More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climateprotection. DeCicco then argues for a source-focused rather than a product-focused analytic framework.
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
If the fuels are produced with the help of renewable energy and green hydrogen—through what is termed a Power-to-X process—existing rail vehicles can be operated in a completely CO 2 -neutral manner. DB Series 294 locomotive with an 8V 4000 R41 mtu engine running on HVO. RDC is already using HVO in other services since July 2022.
The hydrogen for the trains will be provided by the Linde Group. Hydrogen and fuel cells are an ideal combination for climateprotection as well as for the energy and transport revolution. I am pleased that Alstom will build the trains in Lower Saxony, thus further strengthening their production site in Salzgitter.

On his website , Laschet indicates that he seeks climateprotection through innovation and competition. Tesla Gigafactory Berlin seems to fit Laschet’s goal to strike a balance between climateprotection and encouraging the growth of Germany’s economy. Three objectives are listed under the heading: .
For biofuels, because biogenic carbon is automatically credited within a product lifecycle, the boundary effectively excludes vehicle end-use CO 2 emissions. Such an approach can indicate policy directions consistent with fostering the conditions that comprehensive analyses imply are necessary for climateprotection.
While including all fuels under a carbon cap is necessary for an effective climate policy, DeCicco argues, it is not sufficient for addressing all fuels-related emissions. “ In particular, it fails to cover many GHG emissions during the production of biofuels and their feedstocks. DeCicco (2009). The “renewability shortcut ”.
Böhni emphasized that the production of climate-neutral fuel is key to climateprotection and therefore needs to be given a fair chance; he established the Clean Fuel Now initiative at the Federal Parliament in Bern in late 2014. Climate change is happening much faster than we thought a few years ago.
The VDA spends much of its time advocating in its position paper for “renewable fuels of non-biological origin” (RFNBOs), which is an umbrella term for both green hydrogen (generated through electrolysis of water via renewable energy) and e-fuels produced by combining green hydrogen with other chemicals to create synthetic liquid fuels.
The Norwegian government’s climateprotection goals and related support policies have played a significant role. In 2035, there will be one charging station for every 60 kilometers and one hydrogen charging station for every 150 kilometers on significant freeways in EU countries.
