Fuel station operator Alternoil, a pioneer in clean heavy-duty transport and a member of DIE GAS- UND WASSERSTOFFWIRTSCHAFT, together with EDEKA Südwest, one of seven EDEKA regional companies in Germany, yesterday commissioned a Bio-LNG filling station at the headquarters of the food retailer in Offenburg.
“Our objective is to achieve the CO₂-neutral operation of the entire truck fleet of EDEKA
The Italian energy company Eni and Global Infrastructure Partners ("GIP"), an infrastructure investor and part of BlackRock, have agreed on the sale of a 49.99 % stake in Eni CCUS Holding. Eni CCUS is one of the leading players in the sector of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage.
The company is currently developing the Liverpool Bay project as part of the HyNet industrial cluster in the UK
At its Leuna site, Linde is planning an additional electrolysis plant for the production of sustainably generated hydrogen. The new facility is scheduled to go into operation by 2026. The project is supported by the “Sachsen-Anhalt ZUKUNFTSENERGIEN” program and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Last week, Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Armin Willingmann, hand
Verbio is expanding its network of filling stations with the commissioning of a new Bio-CNG/Bio-LNG station on the A9 motorway between Nuremberg and Leipzig. At Esbachgraben 10, 95463 Bindlach, hauliers can now refuel climate-friendly and cost-effective Bio-CNG and Bio-LNG from Verbio around the clock. This not only enables significant cost savings compared to diesel but also improves greenhouse g
Despite a projected increase in water demand due to the expansion of green hydrogen production, there is no risk of widespread water shortages in Germany. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin). Model results for the year 2030 were said to show that, in almost all scenarios and federal states, the water demand from electrolysis would
Saxony’s Minister of Energy and Economic Affairs, Dirk Panter, presented the second implementation report on the Saxon Hydrogen Strategy to the Cabinet. The report stated that numerous measures had already been initiated or had been successfully implemented since the strategy was first presented in January 2022. Since then, research institutions, companies, and public authorities were said to have
Trotz steigendem Wasserbedarf durch den Ausbau der grünen Wasserstoffproduktion droht in Deutschland kein flächendeckender Wassermangel. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Studie des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin). Modellergebnisse für das Jahr 2030 zeigten: Der Wasserbedarf der Elektrolyse falle in Deutschland gemessen am gesamten Wasserverbrauch in fast allen Szenarien
The National Hydrogen Council (NWR) has published a new information and background paper that systematically analyzes the technological challenges and research needs along the value chain of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen as well as its derivatives.
The paper organizes the relevant technologies according to their technology readiness level and highlights which processes and supply pathways a
On 13 August, Gothaer Stadtwerke ENERGIE officially commissioned its new combined heat and power plant (iKWK plant) at the Ost heating plant in Gotha-Siebleben in the presence of invited guests. The plant integrates three technologies — a combined heat and power unit (CHP), an air-source heat pump, and a power-to-heat unit — marking a significant step towards climate-neutral heat supply for Gotha:
Greenlyte Carbon Technologies and MG Energy Holding have signed a term sheet that is likely to be a milestone in the cooperation between the two companies. The agreement covers the purchase of e-methanol worth a seven-figure sum from Greenlyte’s production at Evonik’s Marl Chemical Park. It also includes further purchase intentions for future projects.
Only recently, Greenlyte secured several m
With the complete conversion of its 40-truck fleet in the Hanseatic city to the climate-friendly fuel biogas, the food wholesaler now supplies around 400 customers from the gastronomy and catering sectors in Hamburg in an environmentally friendly way. This once again underlines Transgourmet’s commitment to future-proof logistics. This is made possible by an in-house biogas filling station at the s
The federal government is laying the foundation for investments with special funds and the Germany Fund, but the funding architecture needs clear instruments. Missing tenders for hydrogen-ready gas power plants are slowing down the hydrogen ramp-up – the government needs to pick up the pace here. Bergt: “The cabinet decision on the KSpG is only the beginning. CCU/S is a real location factor for a
Dr. Wolfgang Blank, Minister for Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Tourism and Labour of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, today handed over a funding notification of around €2.8 million for the research and development project “FormaPort” on the sidelines of the Hanse Sail in Rostock. On the premises of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), the Minister also learned about current work on the chemica
The construction of the Hamburg Hydrogen Industry Network ("HH-WIN") is progressing rapidly. After the pipeline sections south of the Elbe begin operation in 2027, green hydrogen is expected to cross the Süderelbe in this area. For this reason, Hamburger Energienetze, municipal operator of the gas grid in the hanseatic city, is cleaning and inspecting an existing natural gas pipeline near the Katt
Bio-LNG dominates the market: 98 percent of total LNG sales in the first half of 2025 came from renewable sources
Inadequate political framework hampers fleet transition and climate neutrality in the transport sector
Kehler: “Bio-LNG reduces emissions – but the toll remains as high as for diesel trucks. Politics is leaving functioning solutions behind.”
Bio-LNG, liquefied biogas, has almost c
• Die Gas- und Wasserstoffwirtschaft welcomes the Cabinet's decision to amend the Carbon Dioxide Storage Act as an important foundation for the CO₂ market.• The abolition of the gas storage levy through the amendment of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) eases the burden on industry as well as consumers.• Kehler: "CCU/S must no longer be blocked, but understood as a key factor for Germany as an indust
The Bundeskartellamt yesterday gave its antitrust approval for two CO₂ pipeline projects that Open Grid Europe (OGE), Germany’s largest gas transmission system operator, plans to implement in cooperation with the East German transmission operator Ontras Gastransport and the Belgian operator Fluxys.
