📆 The long-awaited hydrogen pipeline connecting Denmark and Germany has been postponed until 2031. This project, vital to meet the growing demand for “green” hydrogen in industry and mitigate climate change, has encountered significant obstacles. Construction, initially scheduled for 2028, has been delayed due to the need for extensive environmental and safety studies, according to the Ministry of Climate and Energy in Copenhagen. The audit by Energinet, the Danish state-owned company, revealed that these studies were imperative before proceeding with construction. “Sometimes you have to acknowledge reality,” Lars Aagaard, climate minister, commented to the Ritzau news agency.
🔍 This delay underscores the challenges of the transition to cleaner energy and the need for collaboration and rigorous planning. Germany, unable to produce enough green hydrogen on its own, relies on projects like this pipeline to achieve its sustainability goals. However, the delays also reflect the complex balance between moving quickly toward green technologies and ensuring that all safety and environmental requirements are met. The Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy and Energinet continue to work together to overcome these challenges and ensure that the project is completed safely and effectively.

🌍 Grupo Negratín is carrying out a revolutionary project, Hydor, which will integrate a hybrid energy storage plant – solar photovoltaic and green hydrogen – at the Ifmif-Dones particle accelerator in Escúzar, Granada. This collaboration includes prominent players such as the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) and the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA), who are testing this innovation at the El Arenosillo Experimental Center (CEDA) facilities in Huelva.
🚀 The Hydor project, initiated in early 2023, aims to implement new control methodologies in the management and operation of the accelerator, optimizing alternatives in a safe way and guaranteeing its integration with the internal micro-grid and the external network. To achieve this, a physical model and a digital twin are being developed to simulate realities and anticipate solutions to potential problems before they occur. This transition promises not only to reduce carbon emissions, but also to boost the development of nuclear fusion energy and position Grenada as a benchmark in energy innovation.

🔍 #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Investments #Technology 🔍
📉 From Australia to the U.S., companies are re-evaluating their green hydrogen investment plans due to high costs and slow market developments. Origin Energy, for example, recently canceled a project in eastern Australia. According to Frank Calabria, CEO of Origin, “the hydrogen market is developing more slowly than anticipated, and there are still risks and technological and input cost developments to overcome.” This situation reflects a more gradual adoption of clean fuels than expected, posing significant challenges for the global energy transition.
📊 Despite these hurdles, green hydrogen remains a key part of the global decarbonization strategy. Companies and governments must work together to overcome technological and economic barriers, and foster an environment that enables the sustainable growth of this industry. Collaboration and innovation will be essential to transform the potential of green hydrogen into a tangible reality.

🚀 H2 Mobility, in collaboration with BASF, has opened a new hydrogen filling station in Frankenthal. Starting next week, fuel cell cars and commercial vehicles will be able to refuel with hydrogen at this new location. However, the German filling station network will be reduced, as six stations will cease operation by the end of the year.
📍 The new filling station in Frankenthal stands out due to its capacity and strategic location. With a daily capacity of around 800 kilograms, it can supply up to 30 trucks and buses with hydrogen every day. The station is conveniently located near the Frankenthal junction (A6 and A61), providing easy access for vehicles traveling on this important route. Following the closure of the hydrogen station in Koblenz, this new location in Rhineland-Palatinate becomes a key point for hydrogen supply in the region.
🔧 The decision to close six older filling stations is part of a strategy to modernize and optimize the hydrogen network in Germany. H2 Mobility is committed to creating a more efficient and sustainable infrastructure, adapting to current market needs and technological advances in the hydrogen sector. This approach will enable better distribution and availability of hydrogen, ensuring that users have access to this clean, renewable energy source.
