Copenhagen-based A.P. Møller Holding, the parent company of shipping giant Maersk, revealed intentions to fund Green Hydrogen Systems, supplier of modular electrolyzers producing green hydrogen from renewable energy, in line with ambitious EU hydrogen goals.
As informed, A.P. Moller Holding will invest in Green Hydrogen Systems in the form of a convertible loan of EUR 20 million, while Nordic Alpha Partners, the major shareholder of Green Hydrogen Systems, has also agreed to invest an additional EUR 7 million in the company. Finally, current shareholder Norlys Holding invests an additional EUR 1 million.
We see hydrogen as an important part of the future green energy mix for industry, shipping and heavy transport. Green Hydrogen Systems has a compelling technology platform for electrolytic hydrogen production based on green energy and we are excited to support them in developing this platform further,
…says Jan Nielsen, CIO at A.P. Moller Holding.
As such, Green Hydrogen Systems have obtained investments for a total of EUR 28 million in order to meet the accelerating demand for electrolyzer capacity.
There is an unprecedented momentum in the market for green hydrogen supported by industrial demand and political decisions to sharply increase installed hydrogen capacity in the coming years. The additional funds enable us to scale-up our existing production facilities to meet the surging demand,
…explained CEO Sebastian Koks Andreassen, Green Hydrogen Systems.
The EU recently announced an ambitious hydrogen strategy targeting 6 GW of installed capacity by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030 compared with the current around 300 MW installed hydrogen capacity today.
In addition to this, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Portugal and Norway have established ambitious national strategies for green hydrogen production.
It is clear when green hydrogen usage optimisation will be made, the GH2 usage in maritime application will be one of the main usage.
Transportation is a challenge, the whole energy storage is in it, I doubt that today’s values energy requirements for hydrogen storage will be achieved, and, the close to exclusive use of fuel cells is not the optimal usage of the hydrogen, the optimized thermal approach should not be forgotten.
The various metals required for our expected transition, li, ni, pt, nd,’.. are not and will not be enough for this energy green renewable transition.,..
We have also an other issue, logistic, after the generation, the produced hydrogen must be stored, transported, not forgetting, certified, compressed usw… What is the situation?
And, if, using green hydrogen factories like “NemoRenSys”” (https://www.nemorensys.com)
underwater, large modular scale, can provide a very serious help to the whole city?
If a ship leaves an harbour with, just enough gH2 fuel in his tanks with, enough gh2 to reach the first EnergyPolis NemoRenSys (GH2), fill his tanks, exchange removable gh2 tanks, and, at the last station, international waters or not, make a last complete full tank, until his destination…unload the tanks, leaving some gh2 for the next destination trip, the next NemoRenSys station.
The same can be done on the continent with gh2 or electrical cars…
One issue can be the filling time, cars/truck are acceptable, but not for marine, than, use the removable tanks add on, and, simply what U call the “camping gas cartridges” solution, like a iso container fully gh2 filled, and, go further, simpler said, use the ships to solve lot of the green hydrogen logistical issues…avoiding the costly storage, pipeline, …
I truly believe that the short term future is green hydrogen and unmanned…but the road is still long to go…
This concept can be applied for continental usage, no distribution limitation, cars or? Use a removable gh2 tank, certified, and exchange it when empty, recertifying it everytime, no need to wait xn? years for the car certification, but the tank all the time, and back to the “NemoRenSys – camping gas” solution, no heavy costly H2 tanks, pipelines, ultra wide gh2 tanks availability also to complet the house industry energy storages requirements due to the non availability of the renewables, wind solar…solving this way partly the ultra large amount of storage industries metals requirements…
Today’s 2022 energy war crisis shows, how much our world in unprepared, sensitive to these events, NemoRenSys can be a solution, affordable, available, acceptable…the 3 A are …available…why not going partially thy way, SaMantha, helps too, but we should not forget the gh2 logistical issue, as well the environmental sensitivity, only the green hydrogen should be there, full environmental respect, in complément but far more efficient than today’s wind and solar which are total energy generation capabilities joke.(conversion efficiency, volatility, area used, pollution, recycling…).
Also, don t forget, today, there is not enough electricity produced in this world to allow the gh2 generation, and adding xn 000 wind turbines is not the most efficient way..15MW wind tubine offshore only at heavy cost conditions, NemoRenSys far, far cheaper…
