Germany’s green hydrogen pipeline continues to move selectively from strategy papers to steel in the ground, with bp confirming a 100 megawatt electrolyzer project that, once commissioned in 2027, is expected to produce up to 11,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually. The contract awarded to Bilfinger, as part of a consortium responsible for prefabrication, assembly, and installation of key plant components, provides a window into how large energy companies are now prioritizing execution capacity over headline ambition.

Green hydrogen projects aimed at industrial decarbonization increasingly face a nontechnical constraint that is proving decisive: local consent. That reality came into sharp focus in Speyside, where plans for a hydrogen production facility backed by £3.1 million in Scottish Government funding have been abandoned after sustained opposition and a planning refusal by Moray Council.

Mejillones Ammonia Energy has secured environmental approval for its $2.5 billion Volta project in Antofagasta, a planned 620,000 tonne per year green ammonia facility that now moves closer to final environmental qualification following clearance from the regional Environmental Assessment Commission in late December 2025.
