Germany’s hydrogen economy is moving from strategy papers toward industrial commitments, with EWE and Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH signing a long-term agreement for the supply of 10,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from 2030.
A new 4 MW green hydrogen project in Neyveli, Tamil Nadu, developed by Ohmium International and InSolare Energy for NLC India Limited, highlights the country’s approach of building smaller scale but scalable production assets linked to domestic energy infrastructure.
Hygenco Green Energies has secured $105 million in equity investment from a consortium including International Finance Corporation (IFC), Siemens Financial Services, and Fullerton Carbon Action Fund to accelerate the development of green hydrogen and green hydrogen derivative projects, including green ammonia.
Producing one kilogram of hydrogen through conventional electrolysis requires approximately 9 kilograms of water, creating additional pressure on freshwater supplies as electrolyzer deployment expands. UK-based Hychor, a spin-off from the University of Aberdeen, is developing a seawater-based hydrogen production system designed to address this limitation by eliminating the need for freshwater treatment before electrolysis.
In the United Arab Emirates, Innovation Platform Capital (iPC) and Intelligent Investment Holding (IIH) have announced a strategic joint venture to develop a large scale green hydrogen production platform aimed at supplying domestic industries while creating future export opportunities.
In Tarragona, Spain, a proposed green hydrogen facility backed by H2PRO and Sun Systems Group aims to connect renewable electricity generation with one of Europe’s largest industrial clusters, targeting the decarbonization of chemical and petrochemical operations.
The UK green hydrogen sector is moving from policy development toward commercial execution, but the transition remains dependent on securing investment, reducing technology risk, and establishing reliable demand. A new partnership between Protium Green Solutions Ltd and ITM Power highlights the industry’s current focus: combining project development expertise with electrolyzer manufacturing capabilities to advance industrial scale hydrogen production.
Chile’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading green hydrogen exporters has reached a significant regulatory milestone with the environmental approval of the $2.5 billion Volta green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Mejillones.
