Transporting renewable hydrogen from Spain to the Franco German border could cost between €0.60 and €1 per kilogram, according to new estimates from the H2Med Alliance, putting infrastructure costs at a potentially manageable level relative to the wider economics of European green hydrogen.

BASF’s €10.3 billion approach for Evonik has been rejected at the first hurdle, but the failed opening bid is already exposing a broader question for Germany’s chemical industry, whether consolidation can compensate for structural cost and competitiveness problems that individual companies cannot solve alone.

Germany is putting €212.5 million into research and development for e-fuels and CO2-based precursors, but the structure of the program highlights a central problem facing the sector: reducing the cost and technical complexity of synthetic fuel production before commercial scale can become viable.

For years, Germany’s greenhouse gas reduction quota system generated certificate trading value that stayed largely invisible to end users. This…

Moeve has begun construction of the 300 MW Onuba renewable hydrogen project in Huelva, Spain, committing more than €1 billion to the first phase of the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley.

Power to Hydrogen and Repsol tested a five cell AEM electrolyzer for 1,250 hours at 40% to 100% loads and pressures of 2 to 30 bar, recording approximately 2 mV of irreversible degradation per 1,000 hours and hydrogen purity of 99.9% at 30 bar.

Four green hydrogen and derivative projects in Egypt, Morocco, Namibia and South Africa are positioned to mobilize an estimated $23 billion in investment, but their developers still face one of the most persistent barriers in the hydrogen market: converting technically viable concepts into projects capable of reaching final investment decisions.

S&P Global Platts assessed the cost of PPA-backed green hydrogen production in Germany at 11.78 euros per kilogram on September…
