If Germany and the rest of Europe are to become climate-neutral by 2050 while maintaining their industrial might, they will have to import vast amounts of hydrogen.  To this end the Port of Rotterdam is already exploring how hydrogen can be imported from a large number of countries around the world.  It is also setting up Porthos, a carbon transport and storage system.  Porthos i

More than ten years of complex negotiations between Angola and neighboring Zambia have resulted in a $5 billion deal to build a products pipeline between Lobito and Lusaka.

At the signing ceremony in Luanda, the Zambian government was represented by Energy Minister Mathew Nkhuwa, with Angola represented by Petroleum Minister Diamantino Pedro Azevedo.

Energinet and Gasunie have published a technical pre-feasibility study for transporting hydrogen via a 350-450 km pipeline from Esbjerg or Holstebro in Denmark to Hamburg in Germany. The study shows that such a connection can be established in a step-by-step and cost efficient fashion by repurposing existing gas pipelines.

Dakota Access oil pipeline's operators plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in its ongoing legal battle to keep the 570,000 barrel-per-day line open, according to a court filing on Thursday.

In yet another boost for the use of hydrogen in the German energy mix, RWE Supply & Trading has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Australian hydrogen project developer The Hydrogen Utility Pty Ltd (H2U) seeking to bring green hydrogen made in Australia to Europe.

In a watershed development for the future of next generation hydrogen transportation in Germany and ultimately the rest of Europe,  OGE, Nikola and IVECO intend to collaborate on the deployment of a hydrogen infrastructure and fueling solution.  The collaboration will facilitate the cost-effective distribution of hydrogen from production to storage and fueling locations to serve the n
