The company is now finalising financial structuring and definitive agreements with equity and debt providers, with FID targeted for early 2026. Atome said it has been “methodically addressing the conditions necessary to expeditiously achieve FID” for the $630m project. Ahead of financial close, detailed engineering work is underway with EPC contractor Casale and Atome’s own internal engineering division. The firm’s CEO, Olivier Mussat, said with the key pieces now in place, “we are focused on moving to close out FID and start building.” He added, “Following all the milestones delivered in 2025, marking the end of the technical and commercial project [...]

Operated by European power producer Fortum, the project is located near the Loviisa nuclear power plant and will draw electricity from the grid and use household water sources to produce hydrogen. “Reaching first hydrogen production is the result of focused work by our cross-functional commissioning team,” explained Marko Virkebau, CEO of Stargate Hydrogen. Following production of the first volumes, the partners plan to continue further testing and operational activities in line with the agreed project plan. The Estonian electrolyser OEM deployed the 1MW system in October. The project is expected to gather data on hydrogen production. Some of the produced [...]

The company said its existing plant in Pittsburg would be expanded and equipped with hydrogen capture, purification, and compression systems. The chlor-alkali plant produces bleach, which includes the electrolysis of brine – generating chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide, with the hydrogen typically vented. But K2 says it has partnered with gas marketer Pacc Services to find customers for the molecules that would be otherwise wasted. “Rather than allowing this hydrogen byproduct to go unused, K2 is investing in advanced systems to capture, purify, compress, and distribute it as a low-carbon fuel,” K2 said. H2 View understands it will be targeting [...]

Octopus Energy Generation is financing and managing an on-site green hydrogen project through Hyro, its hydrogen-focused development arm, to supply a dual-fuel boiler for steam generation in paper manufacturing. ITM’s Neptune V systems are expected to be operational at the Gravesend site by the end of 2027. The initiative is backed by the UK government under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1), placing it among the first commercial-scale green hydrogen projects to proceed to construction. Under HAR1, the plant has secured contracts-for-difference-style support, guaranteeing a strike price of £241/MWh. The mechanism tops up revenues when gas-linked market prices fall below this [...]

Until now, access to the network has been governed by a single, uniform ramp-up tariff, established ahead of widespread commercial use. The latest KOSMO update introduces more flexible and differentiated pricing as network utilisation begins to develop. The changes retain the €25/kWh/h ramp-up tariff but introduce differentiated pricing for specific capacity products, including multipliers for short-term bookings and discounts for interruptible transport and hydrogen injected into storage. BNetzA says the approach will improve cost transparency, lower risk for flexible users, and support early utilisation of the network as volumes begin to scale. “We have now put in place the last [...]

Cleanergy opened the country’s first combined production and refuelling facility in September. The site, which includes a 5MW solar park and a 5.9MWh battery energy storage system, will locally produce green hydrogen for trucks, port, and rail equipment, in addition to small ships operating through the Port of Walvis Bay. Plug’s GenEco system will supply green hydrogen directly to adjacent refuelling infrastructure. One customer is Dutch shipowner Cmb.Tech, which is set to deploy dual-fuel vessels currently under construction at the port of Walvis Bay next year. Jose Luis Crespo, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Plug, said projects like Cleanergy’s [...]

The first phase of the project reportedly has a planned annual output of 45,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, and 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia and methanol. H2 View understands this makes it the largest project of its kind globally. Local reports said the site also features the world’s largest ground-based hydrogen storage project, which can help balance variable renewable power. The Songyuan project has also secured international sustainability certification under the ISCC EU and has signed a supply agreement for green ammonia as a marine fuel. Dutch shipowner Cmb.Tech confirmed it will source green ammonia from CEEC’s facility to fuel [...]

Azane Fuel Solutions is developing the bunkering technology for ammonia terminals designed for high-capacity, fast refuelling of ships, with planned facilities able to transfer more than 100 tonnes of refrigerated ammonia per hour From 2029, the stations are expected to be operational and open to both Norwegian and international shipping. The three stations will be delivered in parallel with new vessels, for which Enova has committed more than NOK 1bn ($99m) in support of seven zero-emission vessels. This includes three ammonia-fuelled bulk carriers developed by Amon Bulk and four hydrogen-powered ships led by GMI Rederi and LH2 Shipping. In total, [...]

Under the agreement, Fortum is not committing to building a hydrogen plant itself but will instead develop the site and market it to potential investors who want to build a hydrogen or hydrogen-based fuels facility there. Around 17 hectares in size, the project will be located close to the local port for export purposes. The site is already zoned for industrial use and has access to biogenic CO2, supporting the production of hydrogen derivatives and synthetic fuels. Any actual plant would be funded and owned by a separate project investor. The city of Kemi is aiming to attract new industry, [...]

The updated framework maintains a strong push towards electrification, but also reinforces technological neutrality, preserving a role for hydrogen vehicles alongside battery-electric models. The move, which still requires approval from EU governments and the European Parliament, comes amid mounting pressure from Europe’s carmakers, particularly in Germany and Italy, which have warned that slowing EV demand and rising competition from Chinese manufacturers are straining margins and investment capacity. As a result, the EU has introduced additional flexibility in how carmakers meet CO2 targets, including allowances beyond 2035 using sustainable fuels and low-carbon materials. Under the revised rules, manufacturers will be required [...]
