The direct reduction process, which initially uses natural gas and in the future hydrogen for iron production, replaces the traditional blast furnace and thus contributes to reducing the ecological footprint in automobile manufacturing. #Eisenherstellung #Direktreduktion #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)

Economics Minister Katherina Reiche announced that Germany intends to promote the expansion of the hydrogen market with a funding package of at least 1.5 billion euros to support sustainable industry and climate-friendly steel. #Wasserstoff #Klimaschutz #Industrieförderung (translated)

As part of the so-called green gas quota, operators will also be allowed to mix blue hydrogen into the gas network, meaning hydrogen that is obtained from fossil natural gas - at a high energy cost. And that basically says everything about the absurd energy policy of this government. (translated)

Christoph von dem Bussche, president of the European hydrogen network operators association ENNOH, reports on progress in expanding hydrogen infrastructure in Europe and warns of a delay to secure the future of energy supply. #Wasserstoff #Infrastruktur #Energieversorgung (translated)

The financing of a startup network will cost something. It is always about the question of what we will gain from it," says Lukas Hammer from the Greens during a discussion round of the energy spokespersons of all five parliamentary parties. #Wasserstoff #Energieinfrastruktur #Österreich (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn ironically referred to the energy transition as a "masterpiece" and stated that instead of the promised cheap electricity, electricity prices are 16.4 percent higher than in 2021. He also pointed to billions in costs for grid bottlenecks and reserve power plants, battery storage that only lasts two hours at full capacity, and hydrogen, which has been considered a future technology for years. Barghoorn also criticized a new market created by the state, in which power plant operators would be paid for 15 years to provide electricity in case of outages from wind and solar power. He cited Blackout News as the source for the mentioned data. #Energiewende #Strompreise #Energiepolitik (translated)

Economy Minister Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer explored Algeria and Tunisia to secure green hydrogen for Austria, while an ambitious megaproject for energy production in North Africa brings both great potential and serious challenges. #Wasserstoff #Energiewende #Nordafrika (translated)

Voestalpine and Verbund are expanding the H2Future hydrogen facility in Linz to include purification, compression, storage, and loading, to enable the industrial use of hydrogen and reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent by 2029. #Wasserstoff #Dekarbonisierung #GrünerStahl (translated)

In Sweden, the idea of green steel is imploding. Green steel manufacturer Stegra needs billions, and the CEO is leaving. #Stegra #GreenSteel #Sweden #Industry Billion demand: Stegra is building a large plant for green steel in Boden, northern Sweden, where hydrogen and renewable electricity are supposed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. According to Affärsvärlden, the project now requires at least another 10 billion Swedish kronor, and Henrik Henriksson is stepping down as CEO. Financing: On January 9, 2025, Henriksson stated that Stegra was fully financed. On July 22, 2025, he said the company had the necessary liquidity. Affärsvärlden is now drawing clear parallels to the failed Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt. The additional billion demand shows the financial and operational pressure one of the largest European projects for green steel is currently facing. Thank you for this important note!

Leipzig was the right decision for BMW 25 years ago. Today the plant is once again a pioneer: With the start of construction of the hydrogen pipeline, Leipzig becomes a key point of the Saxon hydrogen core network. This is important for the company, for Leipzig, and for Saxony as... https://t.co/SotyV3WGCO #Leipzig #Wasserstoff #BMW #DE #Sachsen (translated)
