Essar Hydrogen secures UK government support for HyNet Project

Essar Energy Transition (EET) Hydrogen is developing UK’s first large-scale, low-carbon hydrogen production hub at its Stanlow site. This hub will generate a total of 1,350 MW of hydrogen capacity, capturing approximately 2.5 million tonnes of carbon annually. The hydrogen hub will be developed in two stages, with the first plant (HPP1) providing 350 MW and the second (HPP2) contributing 1000 MW, aiming for a total capacity of over 4,000 MW by 2030

Potential of low-emissions hydrogen in Latin American and Caribbean Region

Based on announced projects, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) could produce over 7 Mtpa of low-emissions hydrogen by 2030, but only about 0.1% of these projects is in operation, under construction or has reached a final investment decision. Deployment is still nascent. The high cost of capital in the region remains a barrier, and could undermine the competitive production costs from its strong renewable resources. In addition, a massive expansion of renewable capacity would be needed – if all hydrogen projects in the pipeline come to fruition, wind and solar PV generation would need to increase by 140% within this decade for hydrogen production alone.  Action is required in the short term to unlock LAC’s potential, balancing domestic demand with export ambitions.

Infener to build 20 MW green hydrogen hub in Germany

Infener has teamed up with the city of Gengenbach to plan a 20 MW green hydrogen hub. The facility aims to generate up to 2,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, supplying the Ortenau district with decentralised, climate-neutral, and cost-efficient energy. The green hydrogen will be produced using water electrolysis, powered by renewable energy in grid-supporting H2 hubs.

International Hydrogen Value Chains: IRENA

Low carbon hydrogen is key to achieving the goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. However, the techno economic potential to produce low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen is not evenly distributed globally. This report provides an analysis covering economic, governance and environmental aspects, as well as potential socio-economic benefits and possible risks for developing countries. It also focuses on value chains that, on the one hand, involve developing countries as hydrogen suppliers, and on the other, future demand hubs, such as the G7.
