A total of €14.2 billion is anticipated in investments for the significant project of common European interest (IPCEI), which includes 35 businesses and 41 projects from 15 member states.

Her new position as the government’s hydrogen champion would enable her to promote up to 10GW of hydrogen production capacity by 2030.

The prevalent belief that green hydrogen energy systems are climate neutral is far from the truth.

The Minister of Mines and Energy, Diego Mesa, accompanied by the President of the Republic, Iván Duque, announced the results of the first hydrogen call, led by FENOGE, which approved the financing of 10 projects for a value of $6,570 million. The objective of this call was to finance pre-investment studies of projects in pre-feasibility or feasibility stages throughout the value chain of green and blue hydrogen in the country. “This has been the Government of the Energy Transition and renewable energies in Colombia. When our Government began, the country had a precarious 28 MWp in installed capacity and today…

Alcazar de San Juan hosted the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano Garcia-Page, and the multinational Envision to build a renewable hydrogen production plant in this town, which will involve an investment of 900 million euros. The Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, has witnessed the signing of the document. Maroto pointed out that the Envision project will be developed in three autonomous communities, Extremadura, Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha, and stressed the privileged position and the future that Alcázar de San Juan will have with the start-up of this…

GreenZo Energy and API Power, a renewable energy firm located in Nepal, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop 50-MW green hydrogen plants in Nepal over the next three years. The MOU stipulates that API Power will invest Rs 10 billion in 50 MW green hydrogen facilities that can produce 4,000 MT of hydrogen annually. Existing hydro and solar projects, including Bardeghat, Chanauta, Kawasoti, Dhalkebar, Parwanipur, Simara, and Chandranigapur, are recommended for the hydrogen initiative. As agreed upon by both firms, the one megawatt (MW) pilot hydro project will proceed at the Naugarh Gad Hydroelectric Project (8.5 MW).…

ACWA Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with POSCO Holdings, the holding company of the POSCO Group in South Korea. The deal would involve the joint development of green hydrogen and its derivatives, such as green ammonia, in order to decarbonize POSCO Group’s power generating and steel manufacturing operations, as well as serve POSCO Group’s other Korean customers. “With tangible project commitments in Saudi Arabia and Oman, ACWA Power is at the forefront of scaling up green hydrogen, whose output—ammonia—will lead to the outcome of decarbonising entire industries, including hard to abate industrial activities like steel manufacturing. The partnership…

The U.S. Department of Energy has picked Raytheon Technologies for two research and development projects to investigate the use of hydrogen and ammonia as effective, carbon-free alternatives for electricity generation. “These projects are the latest examples of how we’re partnering with the Department of Energy to innovate the technologies that will power a cleaner, more sustainable future,” said Andreas Roelofs, director of the Raytheon Technology Research Center, the company’s central advanced research and development innovation hub in East Hartford, Connecticut. Under the first project, Raytheon Technologies will validate the ability to run Mitsubishi Power Aero’s FT4000 gas turbine unit on hydrogen and…

The European Commission approved up to €5.4 billion in public funding from fifteen Member States for initiatives to increase the generation of clean hydrogen and find new uses for hydrogen. It is anticipated that this public backing will also attract private investments of 8.8 billion euros. Finland is one of the participating Member States in the project. “As the electrification of industry progresses and transportation becomes cleaner, we will require a great deal more clean electricity production. Hydrogen will play a crucial part in this process. Investing in the hydrogen economy, Finland has made a long-term commitment to better energy…

CPH2 has inked its first license agreement with GHFG for the 20-year construction of 2 gigawatts (“GW”) of MFE electrolysers. Under the terms of the license agreement, GHFB will produce CPH2 MFE electrolysers in a new plant in Ireland beginning in 2023. Under the terms of this arrangement, each electrolyser manufactured by GHFG will be installed alongside and powered by solar energy projects owned and maintained by Alternus. Under the terms of the arrangement, CPH2 will get an upfront licence cost, a technology charge per unit, and then service and maintenance licences throughout the life of the unit. The upfront…
