The global hydrogen industry will develop rapidly in 2020, especially the “green hydrogen” produced from renewable energy will become the preferred green fuel in the future. Statistics show that last year, the world announced a total of more than 150 billion US dollars of “green hydrogen” project. A few days ago, German Grand Falls Power Company, Royal Dutch Shell company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Company of Japan and Hamburg heating company, a German municipal heating company, signed a letter of intent for the reconstruction project, which is planned to be built in morburg, where the original Hamburg coal-fired power plant is located The construction of a super “green hydrogen” plant with 100 MW electrolytic cells is expected to become one of the largest “green hydrogen” electrolytic plants in Europe in the future.
The four cooperative companies believe that the geographical location of the energy facility has the ideal conditions for further development: it is connected to the 38000v power transmission network in Germany and the 110000V power transmission network in Hamburg. In addition, overseas ships can directly dock and use their docks and port facilities as import docks. “The signing of this agreement is a crucial step for Hamburg, a city that embraces energy transformation,” said Jens karstan, Minister of energy and environment of Hamburg. At the moerburg base, we will cooperate with experienced partners in the industry to produce green hydrogen on a large scale and establish a climate friendly green energy center. It’s an ambitious plan and now it needs to be actively invested. The project will be the main lever to achieve our climate goals. The network of gas pipelines around the port and moreburg is expanding to accommodate hydrogen and to facilitate the supply of industry and large enterprises. Our hydrogen energy future is taking shape, and Hamburg intends to be at the forefront of this field. ”
It is reported that Germany will invest 9 billion euro to develop green hydrogen economy in the next few years. By 2050, Europe’s hydrogen economy is expected to create 5.4 million jobs with annual sales of 800 billion euros.
