The UK’s ambitious target to reach net zero emissions by 2050 is pushing industrial sectors to explore unconventional pathways for decarbonization, with hydrogen emerging as a central lever.

The European hydrogen market continues to rely on public funding to close cost gaps, with the European Commission approving a €440 million Spanish state aid scheme targeting renewable hydrogen production.

Europe’s carbon management strategy is increasingly shifting toward large-scale storage infrastructure, with Greece positioning itself as an emerging hub as the Prinos CO₂ Storage Project moves into front end engineering design. The project, led by EnEarth with engineering contractor Kent, targets handling capacity of up to 2.8 million tonnes of CO₂ per year by 2029, placing it among the more advanced carbon capture and storage developments in Southern Europe. The Prinos project stands out in a European context where permitting remains a bottleneck. It is the first CO₂ storage development in the Mediterranean to secure both environmental and storage permits,…
