The Hydrogen Circulation: EU presents financial toughen for renewable H2 auction

The European Commission, Austria, Lithuania, and Spain maintain launched new financial toughen measures for renewable hydrogen development as the European Union prepares for the 2d European Hydrogen Monetary institution auction.


The European Commission, Austria, Lithuania, and Spain maintain launched new financial toughen for organising renewable hydrogen. The three member states will participate within the “auctions-as-a-service” procedure as fragment of the 2d European Hydrogen Monetary institution auction, launched on Dec. 3. “Besides to the €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) in EU funding from the Innovation Fund, the three EU member states will deploy over €700 million in national funds to toughen renewable hydrogen manufacturing initiatives located in their countries,” mentioned the European executive physique. “The whole funding mobilized by the renewable hydrogen auction will therefore be around €2 billion.”

Uniper has selected Electric Hydrogen as its irregular partner to construct a 200 MW PEM electrolyzer plant for the Inexperienced Wilhelmshaven mission in Northern Germany. Electric Hydrogen, which started preliminary entrance-stop engineering construct work for the mission in October 2024, explained that the manufacturing plant will work along with the nearby hydrogen import terminal. “Electric Hydrogen’s low-price 100 MW electrolyzer vegetation are on hand for deployment within the European Union in 2026,” mentioned the US firm.

Sunfire will bring 50 MW of electrolyzer means to Ren-Gasoline’s e-methane plant in Tampere, Finland. The German firm mentioned the tools shipping will consist of 5 10 MW pressurized alkaline electrolysis modules. Ren-Ga plans to launch building in 2025 and expects industrial operation in 2027. 

Hystar, along with partners ABB, Equinor, Gassco, and Yara Shiny Ammonia, has officially opened the HyPilot mission, an in-self-discipline demonstration of 1 MW containerized PEM electrolyzer on the Kårstø Gasoline Processing Plant in Rogaland, Norway. Hystar unprejudiced unprejudiced nowadays secured a €26 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund so it may per chance put into effect its computerized GW manufacturing facility, with an annual strategy of 1.5 GW when the manufacturing facility goes into operation in 2027. The annual manufacturing means may per chance presumably furthermore scale to 4.5 GW by 2031, mentioned the partners. 

Flexens has published a document with Lhyfe and Stockholm College on the “BOxHy” mission, environment the stage for a six-twelve months offshore oxygen injection pilot that’s anticipated to launch in about a months. Lhyfe mentioned in an emailed display camouflage that the “partners furthermore welcome the increasing hobby of scientists, change, and establishments within the vital self-discipline of ocean “suffocation” (deoxygenation) and the selection of reoxygenation.”

Syensqo has launched a fluoro-ionomer produced with its proprietary new non-fluorosurfactant (NFS) expertise. “The brand new grade is commercially on hand worldwide and is intended for exhaust in pick hydrogen-linked applications,” mentioned the Belgian presents producer. In 2022, it launched plans to obtain merely about 100% of fluoropolymers without fluorosurfactants by 2026.
