India country report: Market for industrial gases grows $500m in decade | Business Intelligence

The commercial industrial gases market in India generated revenues of just over $1.82bn in 2024, up from $1.3bn in 2014, according to a new gasworld Intelligence report. However, the industrial gases market did not perform as well as in the first decade (2000 to 2011) with 2016, 2020 and 2023 all recording drops in activity from the prior year. The metallurgical industry is by far the largest end-user of industrial gas in India, accounting for 39% of total sales (equivalent to $708m). Induustrial gas major Linde is the most significant company, with a 26% market share, equating to $466m in revenues, while INOX Air Products (a joint venture between INOX Leasing and Finance Ltd and Air Products) is next largest with 25% (equating to $456m). Air Liquide and Air Water have market shares of around… Read More »India country report: Market for industrial gases grows $500m in decade | Business Intelligence

UK shortlists 27 hydrogen projects in crucial second allocation | Hydrogen

The second auction round shortlist covers a range of sectors The second auction round shortlist covers a range of sectors The UK government has shortlisted 27 low-carbon hydrogen projects under the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2) issued today. With pressure rising to accelerate decarbonisation and spur more investment into the hydrogen sector, the shortlist of projects covers manufacturing and industrial practices, ammonia production, new clean power generation, glass manufacturing, brick making, and sustainable aviation fuel production. The industry has the potential to attract over £1bn of private sector investment into the UK by 2029, providing companies can be convinced the country has a consistent and supportive policy environment which will facilitate growth and offtake agreements. Total funding for HAR2 was not released but it is expected to provide revenue support through the country’s Hydrogen Production… Read More »UK shortlists 27 hydrogen projects in crucial second allocation | Hydrogen

Germany must clarify hydrogen role in energy system, says IEA | Germany

Policy, supply and pricing are holding back hydrogen’s growth in Germany Policy, supply and pricing are holding back hydrogen’s growth in Germany Hydrogen’s role needs to be clarified in Germany’s future energy system and positive support could spur final investment decisions (FIDs) and tackle climate targets, according to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report. Currently FIDs are happening too slowly due to concerns about sufficient supply at affordable prices, while domestic production projects in Germany are failing to materialise as they lack strong commitment from offtakers, the report states. The German government’s previously planned Power Plant Strategy attempted to address this issue by tendering 12.5 GW of new natural gas-fired power plant capacity that could later run on hydrogen. The new coalition government aims to be in place by Easter. “In this way, the… Read More »Germany must clarify hydrogen role in energy system, says IEA | Germany

EU launches €600m funding call for hydrogen and carbon capture projects | Finance

The EU’s Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency has launched a new €600m funding call under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for Energy to support cross-border hydrogen and carbon capture infrastructure projects. The funding is available to projects on the EU’s Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) and Projects of Mutual Interest (PMIs) lists, which were legally adopted in 2023. PCIs cover infrastructure linking two or more EU member states, while PMIs apply to projects between the EU and non-EU countries. This year’s lists include 65 hydrogen-related proposals, many of which could benefit from streamlined permitting and access to funding either through the CEF or national sources. A legally binding three-and-a-half-year permit limit applies to PCI and PMI projects to accelerate development. Eligible projects can cover a range of infrastructure, including hydrogen pipelines, electrolysers, storage, carbon… Read More »EU launches €600m funding call for hydrogen and carbon capture projects | Finance

Europe to invest €12bn in central Asia for clean energy projects

The first EU-central Asia Summit is being held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan The first EU-central Asia Summit is being held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has unveiled a €12bn clean energy package from the EU and urged central Asia to capitalise on its clean energy and raw materials potential. Speaking at the plenary session of the first EU-Central Asia Summit, she said, “This region aims to be a clean energy hub: wind in Kazakhstan, solar in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, hydro in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. And geothermal across the region. You could produce enough clean energy for your economy and for export. You could turn part of this energy into clean hydrogen.” The announced €12bn Global Gateway Investment Package will kickstart a new pipeline of projects for Central Asia, while a new… Read More »Europe to invest €12bn in central Asia for clean energy projects

Green steel may be only 2.5% of market by 2035 | Hydrogen

Hydrogen-based green steel output could reach 46 million tonnes by 2035, according to a new report from technology research firm IDTechEx. The report highlights how regulation, corporate climate targets, and pressure from sectors like automotive and construction are driving investment in low-carbon steelmaking. However, high hydrogen costs, infrastructure gaps and policy uncertainty risk slowing progress – and 46 million tonnes is only about 2.5% of annual steel production. Steel accounts for around 7% to 9% of global CO2 emissions and it is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise, with high temperatures involved. In Europe, policies such as the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), along with over €2bn ($2.2bn) in public funding, are accelerating green steel initiatives. Other countries are taking a mix of approaches. The US offers… Read More »Green steel may be only 2.5% of market by 2035 | Hydrogen

BCGA names new chairs to hydrogen and cryogenics committees | New Appointments

Richard Griffiths of UK-based industrial gas company BOC and Caitlin Sargeant of UK-headquartered hydrogen solutions developer Hykit have been appointed chairs of two technical subcommittees (TSCs) at the British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA), a trade association for industrial, medical and food gases.

Highest US tariffs in a century send global shockwaves | United States

After a series of unilateral tariff measures, the US is set to introduce a reciprocal global system which President Donald Trump believes will boost American wealth but has left economists fearing will usher in a global recession – that could come back to US shores. Holding a chart on the Oval Office lawn, the President went through each country, explaining why they had received higher tariffs or the baseline 10%, which will swing into effect on Saturday (5 April). Trump said they were “kind reciprocal tariffs”, with charges based on half of those imposed on the US, according to the country’s calculations. Vietnam (46%) and China (34%) receive the highest rates but Thailand (36%), Taiwan and Indonesia (both 32%), India (26%), Japan (24%) and the EU (20%) will all see their trade heavily impacted.
