German energy supply security through the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has gained another anchor of stability: on April 28, the FSRU Excelsior reached its specially constructed island jetty in the Jadestrom near Wilhelmshaven. The 277-metre-long Floating Storage and Regasification Unit of the shipping company Excelerate Energy will be operated by the federally owned Deutsche Energy Termin
The project of the integrated energy supplier GP Joule to produce green hydrogen in Gersthofen has received funding from the Free State of Bavaria: Hubert Aiwanger, Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, presented the funding certificate in Munich on Monday. This is the starting signal for "HY.Gersthofen" and the clean and reliable supply of green hydrogen to indu
The Hague, 25 April 2025 - The Aramis project, a transport infrastructure for large-scale CO2 reduction, is making progress towards a final investment decision. The project is essential for achieving the climate goals and preserving the industry. The government has also acknowledged this in the supplementary climate package. The initiators Gasunie, Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN), Shell, and TotalE
The new federal government faces the immense challenge of making Germany’s energy supply secure, affordable, and climate-neutral in the long term. Hydrogen will play a central role in this transition, as a reliable energy supply in the future will require both molecules and electrons – that is, green gases and electricity. “What matters most is achieving climate neutrality and defossilization in t
With the aim of advancing the European hydrogen infrastructure, the TransHyDE 2.0 initiative will launch on May 6, 2025, in Berlin. Prof. Dr. Mario Ragwitz, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems IEG and current TransHyDE coordinator, will assume the role of Second Chair for Research Coordination. Fraunhofer IEG will contribute its expertise in energ
Uniper and Woodside signed LNG sale and purchase agreements for the supply of 1.0 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) from Louisiana LNG LLC and up to 1.0 Mtpa from its global portfolio (Woodside Energy Trading Singapore Pty. Ltd.), demonstrating ongoing strong demand for LNG globally.
Based on the gas demand of a leading industrial nation like Germany, 2 Mtpa of LNG would cover approximately 3% of
In mid-April, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) published the White Paper on Hydrogen Storage. It builds on the Green Paper on Hydrogen Storage, providing concrete detail on the topics of storage demand and potential that emerged during the consultation process. The white paper addresses the industry’s calls for faster planning and permitting procedures as well as
Against a backdrop of intensive policy debate on the legal framework for financing urgently needed investment in dispatchable power plant capacity, EnBW has officially commissioned one of Germany’s first hydrogen-ready gas turbine power plants at its Stuttgart-Münster site. The project is an important signal for more plants of a similar type – especially considering that southern Germany has a par
The Trans Europa Naturgas Pipeline (TENP) has reached an important milestone: the last weld in the Hügelheim-to-Hüsingen section, also known as the "golden weld", has been completed. This weld holds particular significance as it marks the end of a major stage of the construction project. The remaining work will now be completed by the end of the year, after which the recultivation of the affected
At the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park (EBL), a 25-kilometre-long transport pipeline has now gone into operation, connecting the electrolyzer currently under construction with the TotalEnergies refinery in Leuna. With the initial filling of the pipeline, several milestones have been reached at once: Firstly, work on another value-adding stage of the energy park has been completed, and the pipeline is n
Gas grid operator Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE) has teamed up with Nowega GmbH to build a dedicated hydrogen pipeline, named HEp, from Heek to Epe in the district of Borken. It will connect the cavern storage field in Epe, where RWE Gas Storage West is building its first hydrogen storage facility, with an existing pipeline from Emsland to the northern Ruhr area, which is being repurposed to transpor
The Reganosa Group strengthens its internationalization. It has now operated in 30 countries, after being commissioned in recent weeks to analyze the feasibility of a natural gas liquefaction plant on the Asian coast. Not surprisingly, for the first time in the company’s history, revenues from abroad account for more than a third of total revenues, according to figures at the end of 2024.
