Green hydrogen producers vying for subsidies in the EU’s maiden renewable H2 subsidy auction — known as the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) — are likely to have bid in enough capacity to exhaust the €800m ($862m) budget several times over, figures from the European Commission (EC) have revealed. The startling data suggests that demand for green H2 subsidies in Europe far outstrips supply by several...

H2Sines.Rdam, a proposed 400MW green hydrogen project in Portugal that aimed to ship liquid H2 to the Netherlands, has been quietly scrapped, co-developer Engie admits to Hydrogen Insight. This is despite the fact that the facility — which was being developed by Engie, Shell, storage tank company Vopak and shipping firm Anthony Veder — was in line for a multi-million-euro grant from the EU...
Reliance Industries (RIL), Tata Motors, and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) are set to be the primary bidders for the government's experimental project involving green/grey hydrogen (H2) in the transportation sector. This initiative aligns with the government's goal to decarbonize the Indian economy, lessen reliance on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in green hydrogen technology and...
1. Certification overview Our previous article, When is H2 = RFNBO? Renewable hydrogen and “green” e-fuels in the EU (Part 1), provided an overview of the requirements to be met under RED II1 and the Delegated Acts2 to enable e-fuels, particularly hydrogen and its derivatives, to qualify as a renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) in the regulatory regimes of the European Union (EU)...
The Danish government, as well as seven opposition political parties, have today agreed to finance a hydrogen pipeline network — if five conditions can be met. The four-page agreement, entitled Economic framework conditions for hydrogen infrastructure, creates the financing framework and regulations for a future “hydrogen backbone” on the Jutland peninsula (ie, the part of Denmark connected to...
A solar panel manufacturer that’s laying off workers. A battery maker that spurned Europe for American subsidies. A green hydrogen project stalled for lack of electricity.These are a handful of the early results from the European Union’s Innovation Fund, a €40 billion ($43 billion) investment vehicle at the core of Europe’s plans to overhaul its economy to be zero-carbon by the middle of the...
India has the potential to attract $ 125 billion as cumulative investments across the green hydrogen value chain by 2030, investment bank Avendus Capital says.In a recent report ‘Green Hydrogen – the next frontier in energy transition’, Avendus underlines the decarbonisation potential of green hydrogen and the role it could play in India’s transition to a greener economy. “This growth will be...
Oman is quietly positioning itself as a global hub for green hydrogen exports, as many countries in the Middle East turn to the clean fuel as a way to transition to a more sustainable energy future.The sultanate, better known as an oil exporter and a regional tourist destination, is developing several large green hydrogen projects that aim to decarbonise its industries and export low-carbon ammonia to...
Estonian hydrogen tech company Elcogen has raised a total of €140 million in its latest funding round. Green hydrogen production in particular is a burgeoning area.American company Baker Hughes has joined Elcogen as a strategic investor, with the aim of continuing the development and scaling of solid oxide technology.Elcogen's solid oxide technology-based factory will be built close to the Iru...
