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.

ITM Power has signed an agreement with Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) to collaborate on sustainable transportation and infrastructure, specifically in the field of green energies, such as green hydrogen and its derivatives.
DB is one of the largest transport companies and railway operators in Europe and is committed to being climate-neutral by 2040. A key element of its decarbonisation strategy is the a
Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies have made a final investment decision (FID) to progress phase two of the Northern Lights development. The decision was made after signing a commercial agreement with Stockholm Exergi to transport and store up to 900.000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually for 15 years.
Customer commitment is a decisive part of realizing a carbon capture, transportation and storage (
With 55 kilometers of hydrogen pipelines, transmission system operator Nowega GmbH has launched the first section of its hydrogen grid. In Nordhorn, the initial filling of the pipeline between Lingen and Bad Bentheim with hydrogen has begun. This section in southwest Lower Saxony is part of the core hydrogen grid and consists of 95 percent repurposed existing pipelines now converted to carry hydro
New study reveals: Germany needs new instruments to ensure a resilient energy supply in the long term.
Uniper CEO Michael Lewis: "Energy security is not a given – we need reliable strategies for affordable, sustainable, and secure energy imports."
Kehler: "Energy partnerships must be strategically developed and import strategies underpinned by government measures."
Germany must establish its
Fluxys announces the start of construction of the first phase of its hydrogen pipeline network. This groundbreaking project marks an important step in the transition to a sustainable and low-carbon future.
Hydrogen as a fuel and raw material is recognized as one of the key technologies to reduce the ecological footprint of industrial activities on the way to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Ba
During the 2025 Airbus Summit, Airbus provided an update on its roadmap to pioneer the future of commercial aviation in the decades to come, outlining plans to prepare a next-generation single-aisle aircraft that could enter service in the second half of the 2030s, as well as its revised ZEROe project roadmap to mature the technologies associated with hydrogen-powered flight.

The working groups of the coalition negotiations between CDU, CSU, and SPD have presented their interim results. In the view of Dr. Timm Kehler, Chairman of Die Gas- und Wasserstoffwirtschaft (The GErman Gas and Hydrogen Industry), the paper from the Energy and Climate working group provides a very solid basis for the ongoing coalition talks:
'The negotiation results set a clear focus: climate
SEFE Securing Energy for Europe and Delfin Midstream Inc. (“Delfin”) today announced that they have signed a Heads of Agreement for the long-term supply of 1.5 million tonnes of LNG per year for at least 15 years.
The LNG will be sourced from floating LNG (FLNG) vessels that Delfin is deploying approximately 40 miles offshore near Cameron, Louisiana, on the US Gulf Coast. The free-on-board (FOB
