State Power Investment Corp (Spic) announced a total of 3,750 tonnes of green ammonia were shipped from Lianyungang, in the northeastern Jiangsu province, to the Republic of Korea on July 28, 2026, setting a global record for the largest single-batch export of green ammonia. The Chinese project is independently developed and integrates a renewable power–hydrogen–ammonia coordination and control system. “The project commenced commercial operation in July 2025. Supported by 800 MW of dedicated renewable energy capacity, it is designed to produce 32,000 tons of green hydrogen and 180,000 tons of green ammonia annually. Upon commissioning, it established five world records, including the world’s largest single-unit green ammonia production facility,” said the company.
Conexus organized the initial public consultation on the planned hydrogen pipeline in Latvia from 28 July to 1 September 2026. As part of the consultation process for the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project, meetings will also be held in ten municipalities located within the project study area. “The initial public consultation represents the first stage of public engagement, allowing residents, landowners, and municipalities to provide comments and proposals for the further study and assessment of the project. The study area defined for the EIA currently includes 1,773 land parcels or parts thereof,” said the gas transmission and storage system operator, adding that potential route of the pipeline within this area will be assessed during the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.
Twelve of the leading European renewable hydrogen projects are already under construction, said AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, explaining that they add up to around 3 GW of electrolysis capacity and mobilise an estimated investment of €13 billion. The projects are spread across Sweden, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria and Portugal and target sectors such as steelmaking, refining, the chemical industry, ammonia, e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuels. “The projects with the best chances of moving forward are precisely those not conceived as standalone facilities. They tend to be integrated into industrial complexes, close to existing consumers and linked to the production of steel, fuels, fertilisers or chemical products,” said the Spanish consultancy company.
Renmad wrote that the hydrogen market is currently being built through regulation rather than through organically developed demand, explaining that the effective materialisation of this market ultimately depends on the convergence of three elements progressing at different speeds: the availability of competitive production capacity, the deployment of transport and distribution infrastructure, and the consolidation of demand supported by long-term commercial agreements. “The European Union has established an advanced regulatory framework that defines renewable hydrogen, creates binding consumption obligations and lays the foundations for a future market. However, in practice, this divergence translates into a persistent gap between the ambition reflected in project pipelines and the actual execution capacity expected within the 2026–2030 horizon,” said Renmad in its report.
Thyssenkrupp Nucera has delivered a new chlor-alkali electrolysis plant to Chlorum Solutions at its site in Palmeira, Brazil. “The facility has now been successfully commissioned and is fully operational,” said the German company in a press release, adding that the BM2.7 zero-gap membrane electrolysis system is characterized by low energy consumption and high energy efficiency, enabled by an increased usable membrane area combined with a full zero-gap-design. Chlorum Solutions specializes in the construction and operation of small-scale chlorine plants for the production of soda, hydrochloric acid, and hypochlorite.
