The incoming government next year plans to double Germany’s green hydrogen electrolyser capacity target to 10GW by 2030, the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Free Democrats (FDP) said in their coalition treaty that was presented on Wednesday.

The higher electrolysis capacity will be reached through an expansion of offshore wind energy as well as European and international energy partnerships, the coalition treaty states.

The coalition treaty also includes plans to greatly boost Germany’s offshore wind targets, to 30GW (from 20GW) by 2030, 40GW by 2035 and 70GW by 2045.

The UK’s Coventry University Centre for Advanced Low Carbon Propulsion Systems (C-ALPS) has spent over £2m (US$2.67m) in creating a dedicated 100m2 lab and hydrogen compound that will enable it to develop hydrogen fuel cell-based powertrains through collaborative research and commercial contracts.

Simon Shepherd, director of the Centre for Advanced Low Carbon Propulsion Systems, commented, “There has been a lot of talk in the media recently about hydrogen power versus battery power and I don’t think it’s a constructive debate; if we are going to achieve the UK’s target of being net zero by 2050, we are going to need a blend of emerging clean technologies to meet the broad demands of the transport sector.

A long-haul trial of a hydrogen truck has been carried out by DHL Express on a route between Breda in the Netherlands and Brussels in Belgium.

The truck, operated by Dutch Nassau Sneltransport, will run this cross-border route to deliver Apple products. It has a fuel cell range extender from vehicle manufacturer VDL and covers a daily distance of around 200km. It refuels its hydrogen daily in Breda at a mobile fuel station from Wystrach. During this piloting phase, DHL expects the new technology to save up to 350 tons of CO2 .

Two Imperial cleantech companies have launched a collaboration to support the world’s transition to renewable energy.
Under the strategic collaboration, RFC Power, an Imperial energy storage startup, will have access to engineering and commercial expertise from the UK’s most valuable cleantech company, Ceres Power, itself founded two decades ago using Imperial research.
