Germany has approved the Hydrogen Acceleration Law, marking a significant stride towards fostering a sustainable future.
By fast-tracking permitting and environmental checks for hydrogen projects, the government is laying down crucial groundwork for the rapid development of hydrogen infrastructure.
This move aligns with Germany's ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, positioning the nation as a frontrunner in the global transition towards renewable energy, and setting a compelling example for other countries to follow suit.

The article reveals major oil companies like Exxon and Shell have lobbied against government support for renewable energy and electric vehicles since the 1960s. Research shows oil executives feared state subsidies could make green technologies like solar, wind, and EVs cost-competitive with fossil fuels.
Internal memos and transcripts demonstrate the industry's coordinated efforts to undermine funding for renewable and EV programs while publicly supporting an "all of the above" strategy. They also blocked development of promising EVs like GM's EV1.
By keeping energy costs high through lack of renewable development, it made it difficult for manufacturers to compete with foreign companies that had access to much lower energy costs.
These lobbying efforts intentionally slowed adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles for decades, worsening carbon emissions and climate impacts. The oil industry's opposition to pro-renewable and pro-EV policies dating back over 50 years as a strategy to preserve their market dominance over environmental progress and economic competitiveness.
🌱#Renewable#Energy in Germany
🇩🇪 Germany has achieved a significant milestone as renewable energies have now become the foremost source of #electricity in the country. This shift not only underscores the critical role of renewable resources in #climate protection but also enhances the security of energy supply.
⚠️However, as we embrace this green revolution, it is crucial to acknowledge the complexities it brings along, particularly in the realm of #litigation risks. The increase in renewable energy projects often leads to complex legal challenges ranging from regulatory compliance to contractual disputes.
🔌As professionals in the energy sector, how can we navigate these challenges effectively?
🤝Join us in our Frankfurt office of Gibson Dunn for an energy roundtable discussion on 16 May 2024 as we explore effective strategies to navigate these challenges and mitigate litigation risks. Let's work together to advance our commitment to a sustainable future.

We are delighted with the preliminary decision by the Commonwealth Energy Minster to grant Iberdrola Australia an offshore license for our Aurora Green project. We look forward to working with First Nations groups, local communities and local businesses to realise the many opportunities of Australia's energy transition.
The new Labour government has shown clear support for sustainable development by the lifting of the ban on onshore wind farms in England. This move marks a shift towards embracing renewable energy sources and showcases the commitment to environmental policies.

Executive Director - #Greenhydrogen @ ≤ US$2/Kg & #Greenammonia @ ≤US$400/Metric Ton. May help in winning RTC (Round the Clock) Renewable Energy projects
Hi Jan Rosenow - Thanks for writing about the challenges #Greenhydrogen is facing in the European Union despite all the great support. What will happen to all the large Electrolyzer investments? Many countries are still following the same trend & decided to invest heavily into the production of these #Electrolyzers without understanding the consequences!
From the beginning, I have been trying to warn investors, governments, and developers to be very careful when planning to invest significant wealth into a seemingly simple trade with trillions of dollars in upcoming opportunities, such as #Greenhydrogen (GH2), #Greenammonia (GNH3), and #Greenmethanol (GCH3OH) projects.
No doubt, these projects can help investors/developers create more than 100 billion US dollars in wealth within a very short span of time, i.e., within 12 to 15 years, provided, the implementer must understand the right rules of the project in a similar fashion as how we implement with strict steps to ensure safety, i.e., Health, Environment, and Safety (HES) in any high-risk projects.
We can notice that most companies from the #PV and #Wind sectors are attracted to investing large amounts of funding to gain substantial profitability in a shorter span of time. Unfortunately, most of them have failed, but a few are still trying their level best to implement projects, perhaps the falling prices of #PV, Wind, and #BESS may be boosting their confidence to invest.
The latest off-take signed of #GNH3 is €1,000 per Metric Ton (C.I.F - Port of Rotterdam), which is about US$1,090 per Metric Ton. The F.O.B cost at the production site at El Sukhna Port export terminal is €811 per Metric Ton, i.e., US$885 per Metric Ton. The biggest question now is: do we see these prices as sustainable enough to implement such capital-intensive projects to achieve the #decarbonization initiative across the globe?
Although these projects are highly feasible to reach sustainable production costs, i.e., #GH2 below US$2/kg and #GNH3 below $400 per Metric Ton provided we must follow the strict guidelines proposed by experts.
Happy to discuss way forward strategy with the serious player.

Now it’s official: The European Court of Auditors concludes that the EU Commission “did not undertake robust analyses” before setting targets totalling 20m tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030. The EU is unlikely to meet ‘overly ambitious’ goals for clean fuel despite €18.8bn in funding.
