The Swedish company announced today (October 13) that the proceeds from the round are expected to represent up to 15% of its total project funding. Last year, Stegra secured up to €6.5bn ($$7.15bn) to develop the plant. The new capital will help offset higher construction costs, fund a three-month project extension, and replace state grants [...]

The agreement, exclusive to the Southeast Asian market, will see Acme supply green hot briquetted iron (HBI) and direct reduced iron (DRI). The deal is described as “take-or-pay/supply,” meaning Stavian must buy the agreed volume even if it doesn’t use it. The Indian clean energy company will supply the hydrogen-derived materials from its planned 1.2 [...]

In an attempt to “sharpen its focus on technologies that show the clearest path to scale and customer value,” GM and its partner Honda have ended production and reportedly scrapped plans to construct a $55m plant in Detroit. Instead of advancing the development of its Hydrotec brand, GM will concentrate R&D and capital resources on [...]

While previous hydrogen trials were confined to decommissioned sections of the National Transmission System (NTS), the test at Centrica’s facility in north Lincolnshire marks the UK’s first live demonstration. After the hydrogen was injected, it was blended with natural gas and delivered to the Brigg Power Station, where it was combusted in gas turbines to [...]

The company’s HyBlock system looks to shift more integration work to the factory, easing on-site workload and simplifying project execution to make large projects faster to build, easier to manage, and cheaper. It claims the standardised, prefabricated plant could deliver up to 35% savings in capital spending and cut lead times by 40%. “Installation work [...]

The Swedish Energy Agency awarded the financial support under Industriklivet, a government programme aimed at helping industries reduce carbon emissions. Liquid Wind’s facility is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of e-fuel per year by combining green hydrogen and biogenic CO2. The plant will also link with Övik Energi’s biofuel-powered CHP facility to form an efficient, [...]

The electrolyser sector’s next phase of deployment will hinge on cost reduction, modular design, and closer supply chain collaboration, marking a shift towards greater pragmatism across the industry. That was according to James Cropper’s Dr David Hodgson, Dr Daniel Gröbel of Hoerbiger, and Ohmium’s Paul Dainora during H2 View’s exclusive webinar. As the sector moves to [...]

While the government-backed programme is set to go live this year, the independent group warned it will drive up UK energy bills and argued hydrogen should be reserved for industrial use. The project will see around 300 homes in Fife switch to hydrogen for heating, hot water, and cooking, representing the UK’s only remaining residential [...]

Until now, Finland has had to rely on adapting existing gas legislation. A dedicated hydrogen law will define how it’s regulated, who can own and operate pipelines, how access and pricing work, and how safety and environmental rules are applied. Arto Rajala of Finland’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment said at the recent Hydrogen [...]

Referring to investments under the Global Gateway package, in the presence of South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa, she said member states and the private sector were making a difference at ground level. “I am thinking, for example, of the Coega Green Ammonia project in Nelson Mandela Bay [in Eastern Cape Province],” she said. “With it, [...]
