This week, our Head of Business Development, Annegret Brauss participated in a business delegation trip from Denmark and Sweden to Germany, which took place from 11 to 13 November 2024. We visited key locations in the German coal regions and witnessed firsthand the promising progress of the energy transition and the development of the hydrogen economy, particularly in Lusatia, Cottbus, Piesteritz, Dortmund, and Duisburg. The trip also highlighted the important role of industrial energy off-takers, who are essential to driving demand for green hydrogen as part of Germany's decarbonisation strategy. We engaged with various stakeholders across the hydrogen supply chain, from technology providers to major energy consumers, to explore collaborations that can accelerate the adoption of hydrogen in industry. A big thank you to Germany Trade & Invest and German-Danish Chamber of Commerce for the excellent organisation. We were joined by industry leaders, including Altech Batteries Limited , ASG Spremberg GmbH , Fraunhofer IEG , MinGenTec - Mining & Generation Technology , Energiequelle GmbH , Better Energy , IDA , European Energy , Eurowind Energy , Green Hydrogen Systems , Greeniron H2 AB , Norwegian Hydrogen , Processkontroll Green Technology , and Smoltek . #HydrogenEconomy #EnergyTransition #SustainableEnergy #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Germany #BusinessDelegation #HydrogenTechnology #Decarbonisation #CleanEnergy #IndustrialTransformation #EnergyInnovation #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #MorGenEnergy

Yesterday, Cyril Cabanes , CEO of MorGen Energy, and Rasmus Bach Nielsen , Board Member of MorGen Energy ApS, participated in the Dutch-Danish Forum on Hydrogen Cooperation in Copenhagen. They had the honour of meeting His Majesty King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, His Majesty King Frederik of Denmark, Dutch Minister for Climate and Green Growth Sophie Hermans , Danish Minister for Climate, Energy, and Utilities Lars Aagaard , as well as Lars Sandahl Sørensen , Director General and CEO of Danish Industry , Troels Ranis , Deputy Director at Danish Industry , and Kristian Jensen , CEO of Green Power Denmark . The discussions centred on the future of the Danish Power-to-X industry and the pivotal role MorGen Energy is playing in advancing the hydrogen transition across Europe. To progress effectively, we expressed the need to reduce the current booking commitment from 800 MW to 600 MW, creating an achievable requirement. The existing 800 MW capacity requirement is unrealistic and poses challenges, as it requires other producers to make investment decisions simultaneously, leading to delays in investment and project readiness. Additionally, the hydrogen pipeline, now rescheduled for completion in 2031, could hinder Denmark’s green energy objectives and should be aligned with Germany’s anticipated demand for green hydrogen in 2028-2029. Germany has committed EUR 19 billion to repurposing existing gas pipelines and constructing new hydrogen infrastructure, confirming strong market demand. This hydrogen is expected to be produced using Danish wind power. We are committed to establishing hydrogen as a viable energy source in Denmark, with our 1GW Njordkraft project poised to build the foundation for Denmark’s hydrogen industry and pave the way for further green energy initiatives across the continent.

We are delighted to announce our participation in the Dutch-Danish Offtake Declaration on Green Hydrogen, signed today in Copenhagen. This agreement unites Danish and Dutch leaders to advance Europe's green hydrogen market. The Netherlands, currently Europe's second-largest hydrogen consumer at 1.3 million tonnes annually, anticipates demand to rise to 4.5 million tonnes by 2050, with expanding applications in steel production, high-temperature industries, heavy-duty transport, maritime, and aviation sectors. Denmark's leadership in renewable energy positions it as a key exporter of green hydrogen to Europe. Already by 2028 Denmark can produce certified green hydrogen through MorGen Energy's Njordkraft project, a 1 GW green hydrogen production facility in Esbjerg, Denmark. The Dutch and Danish industries are ready to deliver on both EU and national green hydrogen targets. The availability of competitive green hydrogen, at scale, in time, is key in fueling the transition.

𝐇2 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 We are excited to announce that, effective today, 29 October 2024, H2 Energy Europe and its subsidiary, Mint Hydrogen, a developer and operator of green hydrogen refuelling stations, have officially become MorGen Energy. This name change reflects our commitment to aligning with Europe's renewable hydrogen market. By uniting under a single brand, we are simplifying our identity and strengthening our presence. This change also marks an important step in our growth, demonstrating our evolution from a joint venture to a fully established organisation. As MorGen, we will continue to develop large-scale green hydrogen ecosystems, from production to distribution and consumption, supplying hydrogen to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries and heavy transportation through our future MorGen refuelling stations. Current advanced projects include the 1GW Njordkraft green hydrogen project in Esbjerg, Denmark, and a 20MW green hydrogen project in Milford Haven, South Wales. We are also building a network of hydrogen refuelling stations along major transport routes throughout Germany and Austria.

Today, Rasmus Bach Nielsen , board member at H2 Energy Esbjerg, delivered a compelling presentation at the DOI.dk - Danish Offshore Industry Conference 2024. He discussed the robust state of the hydrogen market and highlighted the significant need to address infrastructural challenges, particularly the delayed hydrogen pipeline project, now postponed from 2028 to no earlier than the end of 2031, and the prohibitive booking requirement of 800 MW for the 'Lower 7' section of the pipeline. His insights emphasised the urgency of fully leveraging Denmark's extensive wind potential and the critical role the hydrogen sector plays in Denmark's leadership in the European energy transition. This insightful presentation set the stage for a crucial panel discussion titled "𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤?" alongside Dina Raabjerg , Member of Parliament and energy spokesperson from the Conservative Party, and Søren Schmidt Thomsen , Director at Triangle Energy Alliance (TEA) . The discussion examined the hydrogen industry's readiness and challenges, emphasising the need for decisive action to address these obstacles. Rasmus reaffirmed H2 Energy Europe’s commitment to advancing the clean energy agenda.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 H2 Energy Europe acknowledges the latest update from the Danish Government on 8 October 2024, which sets a positive direction towards the staged implementation of crucial hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. We appreciate the government's recognition of the need to prioritise the development of the Lower 7 area, where the most advanced hydrogen projects, including ours, are located. The decision to implement the Danish network in phases is a welcome development and aligns with the strategies we have advocated for some time. The updated commitment thresholds to trigger the Lower 7 development, while higher than what Njordkraft can achieve alone, represent significant progress from previous announcements. The willingness of Energinet to work collaboratively, supported by strong financial backing from the government, is an encouraging sign of future project feasibility. However, the revised connection timeline extending to 2031 presents substantial challenges: - It diverges from prior commitments made by the Danish government. - It does not meet the expected delivery timelines of 2028-29 for German off-takers, who are crucial to the project's viability. - It is inconsistent with both the EU and Denmark’s own targets for decarbonisation, as outlined in the 2022 Esbjerg Declaration. Furthermore, a seven-year timeframe to connect a 150 km pipeline, which is partly being repurposed, is difficult to comprehend, especially when compared to the commissioning timeline of the much larger German core network, which is progressing on schedule with connections expected by 2028-29. H2 Energy Europe, along with Danish Industry and project partners, is actively engaging with Energinet and the Danish government to gain a clearer understanding of the underlying drivers behind this extended timeline. We are hopeful that these discussions will lead to a revised position that better aligns with the project's needs and the broader energy transition goals.
