The European Commission‘s pilot European Hydrogen Bank auction has received 132 bids from projects across 17 European nations, which far exceeds the available €800 million (~$865 million) budget. Collectively, the bids propose an electrolyzer capacity of 8.5 GW. This capacity is expected to generate 8.8 million tons of renewable hydrogen over a decade, covering nearly 10% of the European Union’s...

To be clear, the scorecard is not a measure of clean energy deployment. That’s why Texas has a failing grade despite being a solar and wind giant, for example. “Texas does have a lot of renewable energy, but it really comes down to who’s owning and controlling it. In Texas, it’s all being done by the utilities,” said Maria McCoy, a researcher with the Energy Democracy Initiative and...
The US Department of Energy has allocated nearly $1.7bn in government funding for six industrial projects using or producing clean hydrogen to reduce emissions, as part of a wider $6bn package. More than half of this announced funding — still subject to negotiation — will go toward making hydrogen-based direct-reduced iron (DRI) for green steelmaking. The Industrial Demonstrations Program, which...
Japanese oil & gas firms Eneos and Idemitsu Kosan have signed a memorandum of understanding with utility Hokkaido Electric Power Company (Hokuden) to develop a green hydrogen project with at least 100MW of electrolysis capacity within the country by 2030. This plant, capable of producing 10,000 tonnes of H2 a year, is the largest yet proposed to be built in Japan, which has predominantly focused its...
