The latest H₂ Market Radar by Team Consult shows a marked slowdown in hydrogen project momentum across Northwest Europe. While 128 electrolysis plants (503 MWel) are now in operation, 18 projects have been cancelled since late 2024 — signalling a phase of consolidation after years of rapid announcements. The report cites a declining risk appetite […]
Chile’s finance committee has adopted amendments to the draft law promoting green hydrogen, meaning the bill now moves to the full chamber before passing to the senate. Key details include: A new tax-credit scheme totalling up to US $2.8 billion, to be allocated via six annual tenders between 2025 and 2030 (starting with about US […]
Westwood’s October Compass flags a policy pivot: Germany will support all low-carbon hydrogen (incl. CCUS) and replace rigid capacity targets with demand-driven goals – while H2Global expands auctions (incl. a joint DE–NL auction for pure hydrogen) and restarts e-methanol imports. In the UK, a £448m UK SHORE package targets maritime decarbonisation (H₂, ammonia, methanol, electrification, […]
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has selected 15 Hydrogen Valleys from 11 countries for Project Development Assistance (PDA)—9 “PDA light” (early-stage, 6 weeks) and 6 “PDA plus” (toward feasibility/FID, 12 weeks). Expert teams (Roland Berger with Worley) will help on commercial, technical, regulatory, and governance tracks, with work starting in November, subject to a collaboration declaration. […]
Australia’s new bioenergy feedstock strategy proposal excludes used cooking oil (UCO), municipal waste and non-biogenic inputs—explicitly including green hydrogen used for power-to-liquids fuels. Instead, the plan backs agriculture/forestry-derived feedstocks (canola, tallow, biomass, sugar cane, sorghum) and prioritizes HEFA over FT/ATJ/PtL pathways, alongside the A$1.1bn Cleaner Fuels Program. Hydrogen projects can still pursue separate support via […]
FactSet finds that, despite global headwinds, Asia-Pacific and Europe are the only regions meaningfully moving green hydrogen projects into mature stages (FID/construction/commissioning/operations). In 2025 to date, APAC advanced ~824 ktpa H₂e while Europe advanced ~157 ktpa. India’s pipeline is skewed to green ammonia for fertilizers; China’s is diversified (refining, chemicals, transport—including marine fuels); and Europe […]
On October 1, 2025, the Federal Cabinet adopted the draft Hydrogen Acceleration Act to speed up the development of hydrogen infrastructure and reduce bureaucratic hurdles. The law addresses the ENTIRE HYDROGEN SUPPLY CHAIN: from production to import, storage, and transport. The law covers, among other things, onshore and offshore electrolyzers, import facilities for hydrogen (and […]
Global Hydrogen Review 2025 from the IEA: my take on it (by Carlos Bernie Lopez) Every year the IEA comes with a very extended report describing the status of hydrogen in the world. It is nearly impossible to summarize in a post the hard work that many colleagues have put to come up with this […]
Southeast Asian low-emissions hydrogen production could reach 480,000 t/yr by 2030 based on announced projects but progress has been slow, Paris-based energy watchdog the IEA says. Developers have announced 25 projects that are slated to start operations by 2030, with all of them targeting electrolysis and 40pc aiming for exports, the IEA says in a […]
