[ contracts & partnerships ] integrated hydrogen ventures in the following phase .
The partnership will leverage HydePoint ’ s innovative technology for hydrogen production in maritime environments alongside Norwegian Hydrogen ’ s expertise in developing and operating hydrogen infrastructure . Initially , the focus will be on nearshore projects , combining both companies ’ capabilities to deliver mid-sized green hydrogen solutions that can support industries in transitioning to zero-emission energy .
Beyond these near-term projects , both companies are committed to a long-term strategy of developing largescale offshore hydrogen production , particularly in combination with offshore wind farms .
Partnership established for India ’ s first CO 2
-to-greenmethanol plant Ohmium International has partnered with the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research ( JNCASR ), Breathe Applied Sciences , and Spirare Energy to announce India ’ s first CO 2
-togreen-methanol plant . The project will combine green hydrogen generated by Ohmium ’ s PEM electrolyzers with CO 2 captured from the Singareni Thermal Power Plant to produce green methanol . The process to synthesize green methanol from CO 2 emissions was developed by researchers at Breathe Applied Sciences and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in India . Spirare Energy partnered with Ohmium to procure the PEM electrolyzer solution , an important component of the overall project .
Methanol is commonly used as a fuel or as a raw material in various industrial processes . Reducing or eliminating the carbon content of methanol production helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduces reliance on fossil fuels . Technologies for converting CO 2 to green methanol can also help decarbonize various sectors , including the coal-based thermal power sector .
Uniper selects Electric Hydrogen for Green Wilhelmshaven project Uniper has selected Electric Hydrogen as its exclusive partner to design a 200-MW electrolyzer plant for large-scale electrolysis within Uniper ’ s Green Wilhelmshaven project in Northern Germany . Electric Hydrogen began conducting the preliminary front-end engineering design work for the project in October 2024 .
Uniper ’ s Green Wilhelmshaven project consists of two major systems : largescale electrolysis , which will produce green hydrogen , and an import terminal for ammonia . The electrolyzer will be built in Wilhelmshaven on the site of Uniper ’ s former coal-fired power plant . The ammonia import terminal is planned in close proximity to the first LNG terminal in the north of Wilhelmshaven , which is operated by a Uniper subsidiary .
Together , the two projects could meet a significant portion of Germany ’ s projected demand for green hydrogen . Both plants will be connected via pipelines to the German hydrogen backbone and to underground storage facilities in northern Germany . With the Green Wilhelmshaven projects , Uniper aims to transform Wilhelmshaven into a central hub for green hydrogen in Germany . This is also confirmed by the ‘ Project of Common Interest ’ ( PCI ) status granted to both projects .
The large-scale electrolysis will use renewable electricity from wind farms , creating zero-carbon green hydrogen gas for Uniper ’ s industrial customers .
