With the Netherlands projected to import up to 3.36 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2040, a new analysis from Aurora Energy Research suggests that Northeast Brazil may hold the key to bridging Europe’s widening hydrogen supply gap.

On 20 February 2025, the European Commission closed its IF24 renewable hydrogen auction after attracting 61 bids across 11 Member States requesting…

Germany and the Netherlands have committed €600 million to a joint tender aimed at jumpstarting renewable hydrogen imports into Northwest Europe.

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.

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.

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.

With over 90% of its electricity already generated from renewable sources, Newfoundland and Labrador holds a rare advantage among global hydrogen hopefuls. Its latest move—signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Port of Amsterdam—signals growing ambition to convert this domestic strength into an export-led green hydrogen economy.

RAG Austria AG has successfully stored approximately 500,000 cubic meters of hydrogen in a depleted sandstone gas reservoir in Gampern, Upper Austria. This demonstration, part of the Underground Sun Storage 2030 (USS 2030) project, confirms the technical feasibility of large-volume, seasonal hydrogen storage in porous geological formations.
