HINT.CO GmbH

The Global hydrogen perspectives at the Hydrogen Tech World Expo 🌍⚡ At this year’s Hydrogen Technology World Expo, our #H2Global #Hintco's CEO Timo Bollerhey joined an insightful panel discussion on the global state of hydrogen. Together with three other distinguished panelists, he explored how the #hydrogen economy is developing across regions — and what is needed to move from ambition to large-scale implementation. A few key takeaways from the discussion: ✅ Scale matters – However, we need to take the first step before the second. While gigawatt-scale must be the perspective, we need to start by building the triple-digit megawatts first. It's better to have a real megawatt than a gigawatt on PowerPoint! ⚓ Ports and logistics are - in theory - ready. However, real business cases are needed to make these facilities bankable! 📜 Regulatory clarity and confidence is fundamental – Only of you know the rules you can stick to them! Let´s concentrate on a pragmatic interpretation and implementation to get things moving and take out insecurity. 🌏 Global competition is accelerating – the world is not waiting for Europe. Neither on the supply- nor on the offtake side! #EnergyTransition #CleanHydrogen #PtX #H2Global #Hintco #HydrogenEconomy #Sustainability #Ports #HydrogenTechWorldExpo

Last Wednesday, H2Global HINT.CO GmbH had the great pleasure to take part in the Roundtable 🌿“How do we enable a #sustainable #hydrogen ramp-up?” hosted by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, World Wildlife Fund, and the RIFS Forschungsinstitut für Nachhaltigkeit | am GFZ. H2Global Hintco's CEO, Timo Bollerhey, and Meike Heuß joined the discussions with a high-level group representatives from Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie, Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ), Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Klimaschutz, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit (BMUKN), and the Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany, as well as leading voices from industry, academia, and civil society. 🤝 We were particularly pleased that #H2Global #Hintco’s sustainability criteria were highlighted several times as a best-practice example:  🔹 In the key findings of the project “GET Sustainable Hydrogen”, presented by Maximilian Rischer, #H2Global #Hintco's additional sustainability criteria were recognized as both highly relevant for hydrogen and holistic — the crucial combination for meaningful sustainability impact. 🔹 In a global stakeholder survey conducted within the P2X Kopernikus Project, presented by Ulrike Hinz, H2Global Hintco ranked as most impactful after the #EU #REDII DAs, in terms of impact on #sustainability criteria for #green #hydrogen. A strong signal that our approach to sustainability in the global hydrogen ramp-up is gaining recognition — we are proud to contribute to the standardization of environmental and social sustainability criteria for green hydrogen. 💚⚡🌍 #H2Global #Hintco #Sustainability #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #BestPractice #KopernikusP2X #RIFS #WWF #HeinrichBöllStiftung

📢 Tender updates – boosted funding and extended contract timelines ➡️Global lot advances – The joint German–Dutch lot enters the Application Phase with added flexibility in funding periods. ➡️ Regional lots progress – Regional lots move from the Application Phase to the Negotiation Phase. 💶 Increased funding and longer timelines – Germany’s 2025 federal budget earmarks EUR 58 million per year for ten years (2028–2037) for the four regional lots, raising total funding per lot to around EUR 580 million. 🧪 Pilot methanol lot reopened – Lot 2 of the pilot auction is reopening for new applications, backed by EUR 437.5 million.    “These updates build momentum for global RFNBO markets, giving suppliers and buyers the predictability they need,” says Timo Bollerhey.

🌏 Australia-Germany H2Global Joint Tender is open for consultation – seeking industry feedback Hintco is supporting the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and Germany’s Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWE) in developing an Australia-Germany H2Global Joint Tender. 🇦🇺🤝🇩🇪 📢 DCCEEW has launched the public consultation on the preliminary design features of the tender and invites input from Australian hydrogen producers. 🔍 Purpose: gather industry feedback to ensure a practical, bankable tender design ⚡ Audience: hydrogen producers and project developers active in Australia 📝 Next step: contribute to the consultation and help shape the tender design 🤝 We encourage stakeholders to take part and share their perspectives. Your input will help build a robust, market-ready pathway for hydrogen supply between Australia and Germany. ⏳ The consultation is open until 30 September 2025. 🔗 Access the consultation via this link: https://lnkd.in/eSAczpmd #H2Global #Hintco #Hydrogen #RenewableHydrogen #Australia #Germany #EnergyTransition #HydrogenEconomy #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #HydrogenProjects

🌍 Update on the Second Round of H2Global Auctions During our global roadshows, we engaged extensively with producers and stakeholders. The feedback was heard - and the BMWE has taken it on board. 🔹 For the Regional Lots, the current draft of the 2026 federal budget foresees a reallocation of funds from 2028–2038. Subject to parliamentary approval, each Regional Lot would benefit from an annual funding volume of EUR 58 million over ten years (2029–2038). 🔹 For the Global Lot, the 2025 draft federal budget envisages an additional year (2037) with EUR 30 million. In addition, the 2026 draft budget foresees shifting funds from 2028–2031 to 2038–2041. Subject to approval by the German parliament, this would result in an annual funding volume of EUR 30 million over ten years (2032–2041). 👉 The final decision notably rests with the German parliament in December 2025. Hintco will update all registered contacts on the confirmed funding volumes and adjust public notices (TED) and auction details where required. 💡 Funding from the Netherlands is currently unchanged at €33 million annually for nine years (2028–2036). We thank all participants of the roadshows - your input has made an impact. Now it is up to parliament to take the next step. #H2Global #Hintco #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #PublicProcurement
