In the Pyrenees, a single tectonic system may generate enough hydrogen annually to power a city of 500,000—a figure extrapolated from peer-reviewed models simulating mantle rock hydration. This process, termed serpentinization, occurs when water infiltrates iron-rich mantle rocks that have been pushed upwards to depths of 7-15 kilometers, producing hydrogen gas. However, less than 0.1% of global hydrogen investment targets natural deposits, despite projections by Rystad Energy suggesting recoverable reserves could offset 10% of current synthetic hydrogen production costs by 2035.
TotalEnergies is setting its sights on Brazil’s burgeoning green hydrogen sector to support its European refinery operations.
Texas is poised to strengthen its position in the renewable energy sector as Black & Veatch has secured the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for Verdagy’s ambitious 60 MW hydrogen project.
Sterlite Power, an Indian infrastructure giants, is reportedly aiming to invest $6 billion in an ambitious green hydrogen grid project in Egypt, according to recent reports from Zawya.
The global white hydrogen market, valued at approximately $4.05 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $10.53 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.30% during the forecast period. White hydrogen, naturally occurring within the Earth’s crust, offers a zero-emission energy source, aligning with global sustainability goals. Advancements in exploration and extraction technologies have enhanced the feasibility of accessing these natural hydrogen reserves, making white hydrogen a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions is a significant driver of the white hydrogen market. Industries are seeking greener alternatives to reduce…
In a stark reminder of shifting climate paradigms, recent data indicates that the rate of global mean sea level rise over the past decade has more than doubled compared to the initial period of satellite observation.
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has released the results of its Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme, awarding a total annual production capacity of 450,000 metric tonnes (MT) of green hydrogen across various companies. This initiative forms part of India’s broader strategy to bolster green hydrogen production, enhance cost competitiveness, and accelerate market expansion. Key players in the awarded contracts include AM Green Ammonia India, Waaree Clean Energy Solutions, Green Infra Renewable Energy Farms, and L&T Energy Green Tech, each securing 90,000 MT. Reliance Green Hydrogen and Green Chemicals, a significant player, secured 49,000 MT, while…
Brazil has extended significant tax exemptions to a groundbreaking 3GW green hydrogen and ammonia project. Developed by Solatio, a key player in the solar energy industry, this ambitious endeavor has received approval from the National Council of Export Processing Zones (CZPE) for substantial CAPEX and OPEX tax benefits. These incentives arrive as Solatio gears up to make its final investment decision (FID) within the year, setting the stage for a transformative shift in the green hydrogen landscape. Markedly, Solatio’s project, a massive undertaking in the Parnaíba Export Processing Zone in Piauí, is projected to unfold across three consecutive phases, each…
Western Australia’s ambitions to position itself as a global leader in clean energy received a significant lift with the federal government awarding A$814 million in production incentives to the 1,500 MW Murchison green hydrogen project. The funding, part of the Hydrogen Headstart programme, aims to accelerate large-scale renewable hydrogen projects by bridging the cost gap between production and market prices. Developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), the Murchison project will utilize wind and solar energy to produce green hydrogen, which will be converted into green ammonia for export. Once operational, it is expected to generate 900,000 tonnes of green ammonia…
