The second €2.2bn ($2.4bn) auction of green hydrogen subsidies under the EU’s European Hydrogen Bank is set to be delayed by months in order to gather information from the first round, Hydrogen Insight has learned. The next bidding round is now scheduled to take place this autumn, rather than in the spring as initially announced, although no final decision has been taken by the European Commission...
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...

Equinor scraps green hydrogen plan for world's largest offshore wind farm Upstream Online Source link...
Plans to power green hydrogen production from a fourth phase of the world’s largest offshore wind farm have been scrapped after developers decided to focus solely on feeding electricity grids. The proposed Dogger Bank D project was unveiled a year ago by partners SSE and Equinor, with plans to add up to another 2GW of turbines to the 3.6GW already being built at the giant UK North Sea wind farm....
SSE and Equinor have scrapped plans to produce green hydrogen in the fourth phase of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm project in the UK, focusing entirely on power generation from the offshore wind farm. The decision follows the confirmation of an onshore grid connection location in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The up to 2 GW phase of the world’s largest offshore wind farm will connect to...
