The proposed infrastructure is expected to deliver hydrogen to heavy industries operating in Deeside and Wrexham, which together use more than half of the area’s energy. Part of the East West Industrial Decarbonisation (NEWID) cluster, the pipeline will build on previous work, which was funded by the UK government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) earlier this year. H2 View understands the network project will also support the wider HyNet cluster in north west England – a flagship UK CCUS initiative targeting annual CO₂ reductions of over one million tonnes through carbon capture and hydrogen deployment. “With over [...]

Despite billions in EU funding, Europe’s green hydrogen sector has stumbled: projects cancelled, companies bankrupt, and demand lagging behind supply. Those at the coalface blame high production costs and a subsequent lack of demand for green hydrogen. And now some are suggesting EU policymakers should look to support prospective users rather than producers.

The initial phase of the supply agreement will target German installations with short delivery routes from Ineratec’s e-fuel pilot plant in Frankfurt. Data centres require consistent power, and traditionally rely on diesel-powered back-up systems in the event of grid outages, including Rolls-Royce’s mtu emergency generators. With data centre consumption growing, due to increased AI use, the two companies say using e-fuels would offer a “reliable, cost-efficient, CO2-neutral” solution to increasing grid resilience concerns. “The secure energy supply for AI-powered data centres is one of the defining challenges of our time,” said Maximilian Backhause, Chief Commercial Officer at Ineratec. “Our e-fuels [...]

Norwegian-based Vergia and Four Zeros Energy said they would work on developing and financing green hydrogen and derivatives projects across the UK, starting in the Southwest. The venture’s first project will be the St Austell Green Hydrogen Project in Cornwall, which plans to install a 20MW electrolyser to produce around 2,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, replacing natural gas used in local mining and mineral extraction. The project was shortlisted in April for subsidies under the UK Government’s second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR 2), which supports up to 875MW of new electrolysis capacity as part of its broader 10GW [...]

NTPC Renewables Energy has made the winning bid under the National Green Hydrogen Mission’s SIGHT Programme to supply 70,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually to Krishana Phoschem’s Meghnagar fertiliser plant at a “record-low” price. H2 View understands that the ₹51.8/kg ($591.25/tonne) bid came in significantly below the Mode 2A SIGHT Scheme Tranche-II starting price of ₹74.30/kg ($0.89/kg). The SECI praised coordinated government vision, industry commitment and smart auction design as key enablers to accelerating the nation’s green hydrogen economy. “With robust payment security mechanisms in place and assured offtake, the scheme is unlocking confidence across the value chain,” it said [...]

The combined debt and equity financing deal with Kell Kapital Partners (KKP) will finance the construction of the firm’s first projects in California, Oregon, Washington, and North Dakota – targeting key logistics corridors. KKP is a recently formed private equity firm with limited publicly disclosed investment activity to date. HydrogenXT, which launched in 2015, will look to deploy what it calls “localised scale” steam methane reforming plants equipped with carbon capture, combined with on-site compression, storage, and dispensing. It claims the plant design can capture 100% of carbon emissions and produce on-site electricity from natural gas using solid oxide fuel [...]

The European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) published its first official recommendation on how member states should apply inter-temporal cost allocation on July 28. To address this issue, the EU Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gases Regulation (2024) allows member states to introduce inter-temporal cost allocation, enabling hydrogen network operators to recover infrastructure costs gradually over time by spreading them across both early and future users. ACER stressed that, while the development of an EU-wide hydrogen network is central to Europe’s decarbonisation plans, the market remains in its early stages and demand is uncertain. This creates financial risks [...]

The company, founded in 2021, said the funds from the Industry Growth Program will be used to expand local supply chains to support national desires of reducing technology imports. Endua currently makes electrolysers 28–272kW in size, designed for decentralised, on-site deployments to reduce hydrogen transportation and storage costs. The systems comprise water treatment, power supply, stacks, and purification. Endua said they have an efficiency of 58kWh/kg H2. The company said the plug-and-play systems were “tailored” for mobility, remote power, and feedstock applications. The electrolysers also underpin Endua’s energy storage systems, which combine the stack, electrical and control systems, and a [...]

Essar-owned EET Hydrogen’s Hydrogen Production Plants (HPP) 1 and 2 projects were named among those within the HyNet cluster to start contract talks with the energy department. HPP1, which was granted priority status, is due to bring 350MW of blue hydrogen capacity online. The 1GW HPP2 project has been placed on “standby” for negotiations. Both projects are set to be built at Essar’s Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Essar’s carbon capture project was also placed on standby. This follows the UK government and Eni reaching financial close on the 4.5 million tonne carbon capture project in Liverpool Bay, [...]
