The European Commission is due to publish its long-awaited Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) today (4 March), a proposal that could determine whether Europe’s strained clean hydrogen sector secures meaningful demand support. The publication had been delayed by a week, reportedly due to internal disagreements over proposed local-content requirements – a sign of the political sensitivity [...]

Wopke Hoekstra, the Commission’s climate chief, confirmed the move, stressing the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) would provide a level playing field for European fertiliser producers. CBAM, which covers hydrogen, electricity, fertilisers, aluminium, iron and steel, and cement, places a carbon price on goods imported into the EU – in line with the internal emissions [...]

The investment from global asset manager Nuveen will fund the construction of over 650MW of onshore wind generation across Nova Scotia for EverWind’s Point Tupper Green Fuels Project. Scheduled to break ground this year and reach commercial operation by 2028, EverWind says its first phase would produce 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year, increasing [...]

The H2East pipeline would connect hydrogen producers, storage, and end-users across the Humber region and Nottinghamshire, running largely underground, with some overground infrastructure. Part of a collaboration with National Gas and Northern Gas Networks (NGN), Cadent says the pipeline could help steel, chemicals, materials, and food manufacturing switch from natural gas to hydrogen. The company [...]

Mannesmann Grossrohr (MGR) and Mannesmann Line Pipe (MLP), both Salzgitter subsidiaries, will construct almost 110km of pipeline for Salzgitter’s green steel operations. The firms will complete separate sections of the long-distance FGL 702 pipeline between Bad Lauchstädt and Salzgitter, which will eventually carry green hydrogen for use in Salzgitter’s Salcos direct reduced iron (DRI) project. [...]

Europe’s hydrogen infrastructure framework is largely in place, but investment de-risking remains the sector’s most immediate bottleneck, according to trade body Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE). Policy Manager Tobias Bühnen told a recent H2 View webinar that while EU rules covering network access, unbundling and cross-border coordination have been established, a “significant gap” between projected revenues [...]

Bridge Data Centres (BDC) and local renewable firm Concord New Energy (CNE) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at research, engineering, and deployment of clean energy solutions for AI data centres, including the floating power generator. Few technical details have been shared. However, the pair claim the floating hydrogen-powered generator would be designed to “deliver flexible [...]

Dr Samir Serhan assumed responsibility of the power and water desalination firm from Marco Arcelli, who had been in post for around three years.
