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…
