Ingka Group, the principal retailer for IKEA, through its investment arm Ingka Investments, is making strides in renewable energy with an application for a permit to launch an ambitious offshore wind and hydrogen production initiative along the Swedish coast. In collaboration with energy company OX2, Ingka Investments plans to erect 207 wind turbines approximately 50km offshore, aiming to generate 3.1GW of clean energy. This venture extends beyond wind power, encompassing an innovative offshore hydrogen production facility with the potential to produce up to 370,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually. A unique aspect of this project is the utilization of by-product oxygen from the electrolysis process, which will be used in a pilot project to reoxygenate the Baltic Sea, addressing environmental concerns in the region. The offshore wind farm is projected to produce an impressive 13 to 15TWh of electricity each year. These initiatives are integral to the envisioned Neptunus energy hub, for which OX2 has already submitted an application. With permit approval, the groundbreaking construction is slated to commence in 2030. Expanding the scope of their renewable energy endeavors, OX2 inked an agreement in December 2022 with Gasgrid Finland, Nordion Energi, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to investigate the development of a new offshore hydrogen pipeline in the Baltic Sea. This exploration signifies a broader commitment to integrating hydrogen solutions across various sectors. IKEA and Ingka Group are actively incorporating hydrogen technologies into their operations. Notably, H2 Green Steel has been contracted to provide hydrogen-based steel for half of IKEA’s global warehouse racking systems. On the logistics front, IKEA Austria has recently advanced its sustainable transport initiatives by acquiring five hydrogen fuel cell trucks from Quantron and conducting trials with a heavy-duty truck equipped with a hydrogen-retrofitted internal combustion engine (ICE) by Westport Fuel Systems. This comprehensive approach to renewable energy and sustainable solutions by Ingka Group and its partners underscores a significant shift towards cleaner, more efficient energy sources in Sweden and beyond, marking a pivotal step in the global transition to a hydrogen economy.

In an era where environmental skepticism and debate often overshadow progress, Bertrand Piccard, a name synonymous with adventure and ecological innovation, is charting a course toward hope. In a recent announcement, Piccard, alongside engineer Raphaël Dinelli, has unveiled plans for an unprecedented venture: a non-stop, round-the-world flight powered entirely by green hydrogen. The mission, dubbed ‘Climate Impulse,’ is not just a journey through the skies but a bold statement on the potential of green technology to reshape our world. Set for 2028, Climate Impulse, in collaboration with Belgian scientific powerhouse Syensqo, is more than a feat of aviation; it's a demonstration of how the future of travel—and indeed, our planetary footprint—can pivot towards sustainability. This ambitious flight embodies Piccard's lifelong dedication to bridging the gap between environmental necessity and economic viability, drawing from his groundbreaking ventures like the Breitling Orbiter and Solar Impulse. Climate Impulse stands at the forefront of aviation innovation, poised to make a significant ecological impact. By harnessing the power of green hydrogen, this aircraft aims to cut the industry's carbon emissions dramatically, offering a glimpse into a future where air travel contributes positively to our planet's health. The heart of this project beats with the spirit of collaboration and technological mastery, particularly through its partnership with Syensqo. This company, which played a pivotal role in the Solar Impulse flight nearly two decades ago, brings its cutting-edge materials and expertise to construct an aircraft tailored for the challenges of hydrogen-powered flight. The main technological hurdle—maintaining liquid hydrogen at -253°C for the duration of the flight—will be overcome with innovative thermal tanks and materials designed to ensure efficiency and safety. Beyond the technological marvel, Climate Impulse is envisioned as an environmental flagship, challenging the status quo of the aviation sector and promoting a global shift towards more sustainable practices. It continues Piccard's legacy of exploration and innovation, signaling a new era where the thrill of discovery aligns with the principles of sustainability. Piccard's call to action, underscored by the invitation to follow Climate Impulse's journey through social media and the #ClimateImpulse and #BeTheImpulse hashtags, is a rallying cry for collective effort. It underscores the belief that the breakthroughs achieved in the skies can inspire and inform sustainable practices on the ground. As Climate Impulse prepares to soar, it represents not just a technological achievement but a global beacon of hope. It's a testament to the power of human ingenuity, the promise of green hydrogen, and the unyielding pursuit of a world where progress and environmental stewardship fly hand in hand.
