Germany’s ambitious shift towards a hydrogen-based energy system represents a significant shift in energy policy. Splendidly exemplified by the aim to transition existing natural gas and oil storage facilities to accommodate hydrogen storage—this could potentially fulfill 20 to 50 percent of Germany’s hydrogen storage requirements by the 2030s.
Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources is intensifying its drive to diversify the country’s energy portfolio, with a firm emphasis on decarbonization and alternative fuels.
Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Sezad) has secured over $500 million in funding for ACME’s green hydrogen project. This financial milestone signals growing global confidence in Oman’s renewable sector, aligning with international pursuits towards cleaner energy.
The Welsh government’s removal of a holding direction on the Bridgend hydrogen energy project marks a pivotal moment in the region’s energy transition. The approval, granted to Marubeni Europower Ltd, comes despite ongoing community opposition and logistical challenges, drawing attention to the broader implications of hydrogen energy integration within local contexts.
In a decisive move to bolster France’s domestic hydrogen production capacity, Doubs-based startup Gen-Hy has secured €100 million (USD $107 million) in state support, a key component of the country’s industrial decarbonisation and energy sovereignty strategy.
Hanwha has decided to incorporate KBR’s ammonia decomposition technology into its domestic hydrogen projects.
As the EU intensifies its push toward decarbonization, the hydrogen sector faces a new layer of regulatory scrutiny—and opportunity. By 2030, 42% of industrial hydrogen use across the bloc must come from renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO), a category that includes green hydrogen. Within this tightening framework, Nobian’s recent acquisition of ISCC EU certification for its green hydrogen signals both regulatory readiness and strategic positioning within a fast-evolving market. The certification, issued by independent verifier Normec QS, confirms that Nobian’s hydrogen meets the EU’s stringent RFNBO criteria: produced using renewable electricity, demonstrating full traceability, and emitting substantially lower lifecycle…
Lhyfe has secured a substantial €149 million subsidy from the French government for its Green Horizon project. Announced on April 18, 2025, this deal marks the cornerstone of France’s National Hydrogen Strategy, seeking to position Normandy at the forefront of the decarbonization movement within Europe’s pivotal industrial corridors. The project, a centerpiece of the European Commission’s Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) framework, is set to achieve a notable milestone: the deployment of over 100 MW in installed electrolysis capacity. Located near the Grand Canal du Havre, this ambitious site is projected to churn out 34 tonnes of green…
The methanation plant in Harjavalta has officially commenced eMethane production, marking Finland’s first industrial-scale step into synthetic methane. This milestone arrives as European nations recalibrate their energy strategies around security, decentralization, and decarbonization — and it places Finland at a potential inflection point in the evolving hydrogen value chain. From Green Hydrogen to Grid-Ready Fuel: The Role of eMethane At the core of the Harjavalta project is the synthesis of methane from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide using microbial methanation, a process led by Q Power in collaboration with P2X Solutions. This approach is gaining traction as a solution for…
