With €303.75 million in federal funding secured for the first 400MW phase of Moeve’s planned 2GW Andalusian Hydrogen Valley, Spain’s southernmost autonomous community is moving to head off a familiar problem: the shortage of skilled labour to support the deployment of large-scale hydrogen infrastructure.

In a bid to scale up green hydrogen production, the Dutch government has allocated €700 million in subsidies to 11 projects totalling 602MW of electrolyser capacity—three times the size of any facility currently under construction in the Netherlands.

Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power has inked a series of agreements aimed at transforming the Kingdom into a central node for renewable energy and green hydrogen exports to Europe.

As the UK aims to cut 1 million tones of CO₂ annually through green hydrogen by 2030, digital efficiency is becoming as critical as electrolyzer output. In this context, green hydrogen developer Protium has partnered with AVEVA to digitize and optimize its operations, with the aim of accelerating project delivery while reducing costs and emissions.

A joint venture between Empower Renewables and Galileo Green Energy has secured planning consent for a 49.9MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in West Lothian, Scotland.

Enagás’ hydrogen subsidiary, Scale Green Energy, has secured over €8 million in EU funding to deploy six large-scale renewable hydrogen refuelling stations across Spain—each with a daily capacity of 1,000 kg.

The European hydrogen economy has gained a critical production foothold as Agfa and VITO inaugurate a large-scale manufacturing facility for ZIRFON membranes in Mortsel, Flanders.

In one of the most consequential decarbonization moves by a European steelmaker, Tata Steel is preparing to shut down key coal-based assets at its IJmuiden plant in the Netherlands and replace them with low-emission technologies.

Spain’s Moeve is preparing to enter the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market through a new partnership with Zaffra, a Sasol-Topsoe joint venture, as part of its push to develop a 2GW green hydrogen hub in Andalusia.

Black & Veatch has completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project.
