Ohmium agrees to provide a Dutch project with 5.4MW of electrolysers A new agreement between Ohmium International and HYGRO will see the two companies putting proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers together with wind turbines. Ohmium will provide electrolysers, whilst HYGRO will provide the wind turbines and their combined goal will be to produce green hydrogen. Ohmium has agreed to provide around 5.4MW of PEM electrolysers, whilst also suggesting that there will be potential for further expansion. Hygro’s turbines, which are located at the EWEF Wind Park in Wieringerwerf, the Netherlands, will provide power to the electrolysers, whilst also being directly connected to the electricity grid. So far, the collaboration highlights that whilst working together, the companies will both reap the benefits of their combined skills, as the combined project will help them achieve their own goals. This can be seen in the way that the company’s PEM electrolysers and electrochemical solutions have been designed for industry and transportation applications, whereas on the other hand, Hygro is intending to develop a competitive integrated hydrogen production and distributions system. Hygro is planning to accomplish this plan through the use of its iBundle and pulsed power technologies. Therefore, this portrays how a joint project can benefit both companies. The expectations for the next step include the plan for the pilot project to be launched in 2025 and both companies hope that this will lead to the production of green hydrogen, which can then be distributed to fuelling stations which are based throughout the region. Ohmium CEO, Arne Ballantine, commented, “Ohmium shares HYGRO’s vision for an integrated green hydrogen supply chain to foster a sustainable and fossil free future. The HYGRO team is very focused on resolving key challenges with green hydrogen distribution, which will be very powerful for the Netherlands and the European Union.” Hygro’s CEO, Hugo Groenemans, mentioned, “Ohmium’s PEM electrolysers and cutting-edge power electronics enable integration directly with HYGRO’s wind turbines for streamlines, efficient and affordable green hydrogen production.” https://buff.ly/3QW6Hn4 #funding #investing #fintech #technology #sustainability #growth #cybersecurity #environment #food #automation #automotive #recycling #nutrition #medicine #robotics #farming #augmentedreality #neuroscience #grants #ukgrants #startupgrants #businessgrants #ukgovernmentgrant #sme #smegrant #businessfunding #smefunding #technologygrant #innovationgrant #capti #captiinnovation #gamechanging #gamechanginginnovation #disruptiveinnovation #smartgrant #ai #manufacturing #sustainable #innovation #telecoms #semiconductors #business #IUK #InnovateUK #SmartGrant #InnovateUKfunding

🔔 Important update on negotiations full sale TenneT Germany 🔔 With great disappointment, today the Executive Board of TenneT announced the termination of discussions with the German government on the full sale of TenneT Germany. 📣 This decision follows the German government's notification to it’s counterpart and our shareholder, the Dutch Finance Ministry, citing budgetary constraints. While the Dutch government, the TenneT Supervisory and Executive board, and especially our dedicated employees had hoped for TenneT Germany to return to German ownership, we are well-prepared to continue our mission of delivering future electricity infrastructure in Germany by leveraging private or public capital markets. Together with our shareholder #MinFin, we are actively preparing alternative structural solutions to meet our financing needs. The Dutch state is examining if and under what conditions it can meet the equity requirements. And in collaboration with the Dutch State, TenneT is also preparing for a (partial) private sale or an IPO of TenneT Germany. 💪 I would like to express my gratitude to our shareholder, #teamMinFin at Ministerie van Financiën led by Niels Heijstek, to the Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat and team led by Michel Heijdra, to the KfW team, and last but not least to our hardworking negotiation team Matthijs Jellema for their tireless commitment to finding a solid financing solution. 🔗 Let's continue lighting the way ahead together. #TenneT #EnergyInfrastructure #Energytransition #FutureEnergy #MinFin

Yesterday, operators involved in founding #ENNOH presented the main deliverables and timeline in a public stakeholder workshop. Here are the highlights. ⤵ 📣 Future ENNOH members Pieter van Aartsen and Abel Enríquez underlined that: “It is our mission to jointly explore solutions to speed up the development of the hydrogen market, based on the mandate coming from European legislation. Active and open engagement of all stakeholders is therefore key to ensuring the successful set-up of ENNOH and development of the hydrogen market’’.   GIE is committed to supporting the development of ENNOH. GIE members are driving investments in hydrogen transmission, storage and terminal infrastructure. 👉 Follow our commitment to meeting the EU energy and climate goals, and read our recent study on hydrogen storage here: https://lnkd.in/dSzYxp98.   Key developments enabling ENNOH to take shape: 💠 The ENNOH founding process has been ongoing while the European Parliament formally adopted the new Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package. The Council of the EU is expected to formally adopt the legal basis for ENNOH later this month. 💠 As the hydrogen market is still developing, flexibility is a key element during the gradual evolution of the hydrogen network and establishment of ENNOH. 💠Open public consultations and engagement with stakeholders are key to ensure transparency throughout the whole process of setting up ENNOH and jointly develop the market.   What is the purpose of ENNOH? ENNOH is the European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen. Its foundation is based on the recently finalised Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package. Its core mission is to develop: ✅ TYNDP for hydrogen ✅ Development of EU-wide Network Codes ✅ Operations and transparency What role of operation & transparency? ✅ Technical cooperation and Hydrogen quality ✅ Cybersecurity and Data protection ✅ Hydrogen leaks ✅ Coordination with ENTSOG and EU-DSO Entity ✅ Transparency platform for hydrogen   #Hydrogen #TYNDP #NetworkCodes #Cybersecurity #Flexibility #Transparency Pieter van Aartsen, Gasunie | Abel Enríquez, Enagás | Zsuzsanna Szeles, European Commission | Csilla Bartok, EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) | Christine Brandstätt, Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) | Piotr Kus, ENTSOG | Raphael Hanoteaux, E3G, Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe | Kamila Waciega, Hydrogen Europe

Network operators and the industry endorse the ambition of the National Circular Economy Program (NPCE) to use 50% less primary material in 2030 compared to 2014. This means that within 6 years, tenders, production processes and availability of the non-primary raw materials must be in order. To make the energy transition possible, as Guy de Sévaux already mentioned, millions of tons of materials are needed to expand the energy infrastructure. To mitigate the use of primary and critical materials, much more effort should be made on the R-Strategy or R-ladder, with a focus on purchasing recycled material, repurposing parts and extending the lifespan through smarter design, repair and monitoring. This project proves that co-creation between grid operators, manufacturers, raw material suppliers and the processing industry can lead to concrete agreements and solutions towards a circular energy infrastructure. However, this does require a shared language, vision and strategy on circular networks that are in line with European principles and objectives. It is an honor to be part of this project with special thanks to Koen Eising and Guy de Sévaux as founding fathers,  Dominique Hermans as project partner and the steerco committee. I am looking forward to the upcoming Ksandr Live XL event, September 13 where the report will be presented and signed.
