A new hydrogen import strategy is expected to make Germany better prepared for increasing demand in the medium and long term. The Netherlands, meanwhile, saw its hydrogen market grow considerably across supply and demand between October and April.
The government will auction up to 127 GWh/year of hydrogen with a maximum price of €127/MWh, and up to 150 GWh/year of biomethane with a maximum price of €62/MWh.
Acceleration areas and shortened approval procedures are intended to ensure faster expansion of wind and solar parks as well as energy storage at the same locations. The move implements requirements from the EU Renewable Energy Directive of 2023. Approvals will also be facilitated for electrolyzers to ramp up hydrogen production.
Lightsource bp has announced its joint venture company Ameresco Sunel Energy SA as the EPC contractor and O&M provider for its 560 MW solar project in mainland Greece. The project has been billed as one of Europe’s largest solar sites.
The developed process allows green hydrogen to be obtained from renewable electrical energy due to the design and use of materials that have redox properties and that respond to microwave radiation.
The city of Zittau has now granted the building permit for the test facility, which is to be constructed by the beginning of next year. The aim is to develop cost-effective electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen, in which the by-products oxygen and heat can be optimally used.
Solarnative launched insolvency proceedings and started searching for new investors in June.
Global tracker shipments reached 92 GWdc last year, according to WoodMackenzies’ latest report. The US accounted for the majority of the global market, with three US-based manufacturers, Nextracker, Array Technologies and GameChange Solar, ranking as the three largest shippers in the world.
Analysts from the Becquerel Institute say that they expect 337 MW of new solar capacity in Belgium for the first half of 2024. They anticipate around 900 MW for the full year, due to growth in specific segments.
Comal says it has acquired an industrial building near L’Aquila in central Italy for a 500 MW solar module factory. Production is scheduled to start in 2025.
