The UK’s hydrogen strategy is increasingly defined by whether projects can move beyond policy ambition and anchor demand in existing industrial systems. That tension sits at the core of a newly signed memorandum of understanding between Hy24 and Hynamics UK, which sets out plans to develop a £300 million green hydrogen facility in Fawley.

European hydrogen executives are urging the European Union to introduce “Made in Europe” requirements for state funded hydrogen projects, a move they argue is necessary to prevent a repeat of the solar manufacturing collapse of the 2000s, according to Reuters.

Europe’s hydrogen import strategy is increasingly colliding with a practical constraint in partner countries: grid capacity. That tension is visible in the European Commission’s decision to back two renewable energy projects in Egypt worth roughly €124.3 million, splitting funding between export oriented hydrogen derivatives and domestic grid reinforcement.

Kenya’s plan to develop a mega scale green hydrogen facility is less a symbolic climate gesture than an attempt to leverage structural advantages in geothermal, wind, and solar generation to enter an increasingly competitive global hydrogen market.

Vallourec has signed a memorandum of understanding with Baker Hughes aimed squarely at the compression storage interface, a segment where efficiency losses and capital intensity frequently undermine project bankability.

Final investment decisions remain the main bottleneck for Europe’s green hydrogen pipeline, which makes ITM Power’s latest notice to proceed notable more for what it signals than for its size.

Kazakhstan’s pitch to deepen energy ties with Germany comes as Europe continues to recalibrate its supply chains under tighter climate and security constraints.

South Australia’s retreat from state led green hydrogen has crystallized around a blunt admission from Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis. Gas, not hydrogen, will underpin the recovery and future operation of the Whyalla Steelworks, at least for the foreseeable election cycle.

SunHydrogen, Inc. has signed a Technology and Manufacturing Services agreement with CTF Solar GmbH, a subsidiary of China National Building Materials Group, in an effort to move its sunlight-driven hydrogen panels closer to industrial reality.

Roughly two years after cutting most Russian gas imports, the European Union is recalibrating its external energy strategy around a smaller group of suppliers, with Algeria emerging as a critical pillar.
