Siemens and Engie prepare 12 MW green hydrogen as well as gas project in France
A EUR15.2 million power-to-X-to-power hydrogen storage center is being planned in Saillat-sur-Vienne, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The project partners want to utilize renewable energy from the grid and water to produce and save electrolyzed hydrogen. It would then be blended with gas to power an updated, 12 MW Siemens SGT-400 industrial gas turbine which previously created vapor for neighborhood production as well as would have the ability to return power to the grid to satisfy need.

New DLR institutes will certainly explore solar-chemical fuels and the future of air transportation
In the future, mobility needs to come to be more eco-friendly - whether artificial fuels from sustainable sources, electrical power or hydrogen, cutting-edge and also low-emission engines, unmanned as well as electric aircraft, or concepts for their assimilation into the air transport system. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum hair Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is establishing four new institutes as well as facilities to magnify its research on a large range of topics in these important areas. Funding is currently guaranteed adhering to the passing of the Structural Reinforcement Act (StStG) by the German Federal Parliament and the Federal Council on 3 July 2020.
