BP has exited its joint development of the 250MW H2-Fifty project in the Port of Rotterdam—a decision that signals both strategic recalibration and the financial headwinds confronting early-stage electrolytic hydrogen ventures. HyCC, BP’s former partner, will instead pursue a similarly sized standalone project, H2Next, shifting timelines and partnerships but retaining ambition in Europe’s largest port.

Solar-powered hydrogen production has long promised zero-emissions fuel from abundant sunlight and water, but the pathway to commercialization remains obstructed by slow, costly manufacturing processes.

A global dataset of 5,360 large infrastructure projects reveals that virtually no energy sector escapes budgetary slippage—but nuclear infrastructure stands out as the most financially volatile.

Sarawak is positioning itself as a future exporter, yet the state’s hydrogen ambitions remain constrained by structural and economic hurdles. Despite policy alignment and hydropower advantages, short-term investor caution and skill shortages continue to inhibit momentum.

The detection of hydrogen concentrations exceeding 96% and helium up to 5% in mud gas samples from HyTerra’s recently drilled Sue Duroche 3 well marks a notable development for natural hydrogen exploration in North America.

The European Union’s target to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 hinges on a critical question: Can…

Norwegian Hydrogen has secured dual public backing for its green hydrogen facility in Rjukan, Norway, with €13.2 million offered by the EU Hydrogen Bank and NOK 100 million in combined grants and loans from Innovation Norway.

Despite surging demand for decarbonized fuels, only 15 projects across five countries secured backing in the EU’s second European Hydrogen Bank auction, highlighting both momentum and bottlenecks in Europe’s push to scale renewable hydrogen.

India’s recent allocation of 862,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen production capacity and 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing to selected firms marks a new phase in its National Green Hydrogen Mission.

Latin America’s ambitions for large-scale energy storage are moving from concept to construction with Zelestra’s Aurora project, a 1 GWh hybrid solar-plus-storage plant now underway in northern Chile.
