Operations have begun at a 5,000 metric ton per year green ammonia plant in Ramme, Denmark, developed by Skovgaard Energy with Topsoe technology and renewable supply from Vestas, marking a shift toward dynamically operated power to ammonia systems that directly integrate intermittent wind and solar generation without dedicated hydrogen storage.

RWE has reportedly begun commissioning of the first 100 MW tranche of its flagship electrolyzer project in Lingen, Germany.

Gasunie and Thyssengas have formalized a Joint Development Agreement to establish the first cross-border hydrogen transport infrastructure connecting the Netherlands and Germany, signaling a significant step in Northwest Europe’s industrial decarbonization strategy.

The Basque Country is strategically preparing to play a central role in the emerging hydrogen economy, allocating nearly €45,000 in its 2026 budget for studies on native hydrogen, helium, and aggregate extraction.

Federal support for US hydrogen hubs, a cornerstone of the country’s clean energy strategy, faces renewed scrutiny after a December court hearing suggested a potential reinstatement of $1.2 billion for California’s ARCHES hydrogen hub.

Fortescue Metals Group and Statkraft have agreed to amend and extend their existing power purchase agreement for the proposed Holmaneset green hydrogen and green ammonia facility, pushing the agreement horizon to 2029 and converting it into a 10-year power supply commitment.

Plug Power confirmed the installation of its 5 MW GenEco proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for Cleanergy Solutions Namibia at a site near Walvis Bay, marking what the companies describe as Africa’s first fully integrated green hydrogen production and distribution facility.

Europe’s hydrogen pipeline is growing on paper faster than it is on the ground. While gigawatt-scale electrolyzer announcements and national hydrogen strategies continue to dominate headlines, deployment timelines are slipping, permitting queues are lengthening, and investment decisions are being deferred.

Fortescue Metals Group has revised the power purchase agreement for its Holmaneset green hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway, effectively postponing the plant’s operational start beyond 2029.

At H2 MEET, while electrolyzers, mobility platforms, and hydrogen infrastructure maps dominated the exhibition floor, 3M delivered a perspective that cut across the hype: hydrogen today does not face a technological barrier in production or transport. Its primary constraint is industrial uptake.
