OMV and Masdar are setting up a joint venture for the development and operation of the fifth-largest electrolyzer plant in Europe. The facility is already under construction in Austria. The UAE-based company would be a minority shareholder, with 49%. Austrian integrated energy, fuels and chemicals company OMV and Masdar – Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co. […]
Greece approved the request of a firm developing a project for a giant solar park with a green hydrogen plant to double the electrolyzer capacity. The site is in the vicinity of the village of Mantasia in the Phthiotis regional unit. The Ministry of Environment and Energy in Athens signed off on a proposed change […]
Bulgaria’s coal regions will receive BGN 1.58 billion (EUR 808 million) through the Just Transition program, under the European Union’s Just Transition Fund (JTF), for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green hydrogen projects, as well as for converting mining areas for commercial use. With a EUR 598 million program already underway, total investments in the […]
Turceni is dependent on the local coal power plant, so the municipal authority is turning to agrivoltaics, energy storage and green hydrogen to replace it. The small town in southwestern Romania is kickstarting a EUR 380 million project. The coal plant in Turceni used to be one of the biggest in Europe, at 2.3 GW. Located […]
Seven projects for 1.88 GW of total electrolyzer capacity turned out to be unfeasible even with grants won at the second European Hydrogen Bank auction, out of 2.34 GW overall. The developers withdrew, with some citing policy and infrastructure delays and uncertainty. A project from the first renewable hydrogen auction also pulled out. The European […]
Green technology developer Envision Energy has commissioned the world’s largest and most advanced green hydrogen and ammonia plant. The Shanghai-based company said the production facility, developed in its hydrogen park in Chifeng, China, is also the first in the world delivering green ammonia at industrial scale and the first of its kind to be fully […]
A team of scientists from Slovenia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina is working on a hydrogen project based on seawater electrolysis. Dalibor Karačić, Nejc Hodnik, Igor Pašti, and Sanjin Gutić believe their research can deliver a solution fit for commercial use, unlike many hydrogen technologies in development around the world. To unlock the sector’s potential, […]
Greece’s Alternate Minister of Economy and Finance Nikos Papathanasis has launched an open call for the installation and operation of a high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) unit using fuel cells powered by green hydrogen. The site for the pilot project is in the Western Macedonia coal region in the country’s north. It is part […]
Despite early efforts to develop green hydrogen and its first regulatory framework, Greece finds itself on a steep curve. The government has presented the first law on hydrogen and renewable gases in parliament. At the same time, refineries and other industries are working on projects that will determine green hydrogen’s cost-effectiveness. However, a significant obstacle […]
The island town of Novalja could become one of the first in Croatia to begin the production of green hydrogen, and a rare example in the region. Moreover, the local authority would utilize innovative technology. Croatia adopted its national strategy for hydrogen until 2050 in March 2022. The first hydrogen production facility could be installed […]
