Less than a fifth of EU hydrogen pipeline ready by 2030, consultancy warns | Hydrogen

Less than a fifth of the EU’s planned hydrogen production capacity is likely to come online by 2030, unless urgent action is taken to address gaps in policy, funding, and demand, according to new analysis from research-led consultancy Westwood Global Energy Group. The research finds that only 17% of the EU’s current hydrogen project pipeline is likely to go ahead without further market support. While the bloc has made substantial funding commitments and set ambitious production targets, the report highlights regulatory delays, high costs, and weak demand as key barriers to progress. By the end of 2024, 23 hydrogen projects across Europe totalling 29.2 GW had already been stalled or cancelled. The UK market faces similar difficulties, with Westwood estimating that between 1% and 24% of its hydrogen pipeline could be delivered by 2030 under… Read More »Less than a fifth of EU hydrogen pipeline ready by 2030, consultancy warns | Hydrogen

Carbon capture, transport, and storage in Europe – four key questions answered | commercial challenges facing ccs transportation

Europe has a big task on its hands to deliver carbon capture and storage, with transport a key challenge. Here’s a look at the state of play. What is the status of CO2 capture, transportation and storage (CCTS)in Europe today?Transportation is the missing link at present. Geological storage schemes are coming onstream. But the importance of infrastructure development in pipelines, port terminals, shipping and rail to move the CO2 from emitters to sequestration sites is still severely underappreciated. What will the mix of infrastructure components required for transporting and storing CO2 look like in Europe? A supercritical CO2 pipeline network will be best – and cheapest for overland. However, there are no common standards for required CO2 purity or pipeline pressure. So that means the convergence of various pipelines and pipeline networks in the future… Read More »Carbon capture, transport, and storage in Europe – four key questions answered | commercial challenges facing ccs transportation

French companies cleared to explore for natural hydrogen | Hydrogen

French companies 45-8 Energy and Storengy have been granted exploration licences to search for natural hydrogen deposits in south-western France. The Grand Rieu and Marensin licences between them encompass over 950 sq km spread across the Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques departments in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The granting of the permits leans on some 2021–22 publicly funded research into the potential of the location for natural hydrogen. The project was co-financed by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in collaboration with academic and industrial partners. The exploration from here will involve reprocessing existing geological and geophysical data, alongside the acquisition of new gravimetric, passive seismic, and hydrogen concentration measurements. According to the companies, these studies will be non-intrusive and environmentally considerate. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Malaysian state with renewables awards contract for hydrogen plant | Hydrogen

© Marcon LC, ChloroPlant Co. © Marcon LC, ChloroPlant Co. Sarawak, a state in Malaysia, aims to accelerate its green hydrogen leadership position after awarding a $17m engineering, procurement and construction contract to plant specialist Cholroplant. The deal for the 10MW plant was signed with H1Hydro Group, a Singapore-based clean energy investment firm. The plant will be constructed using European electrolysis technology, with phase one scheduled to commence operations in Q1 2026. Hydrogen storage and transportation technologies to be used are currently under discussion with companies from South Korea and Malaysia. The production cost of hydrogen from this plant is expected to be “competitive” with other facilities in the Asia-Pacific region. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Fluxys Hydrogen starts first phase of hydrogen pipeline build-out | Hydrogen

First phase work is now underway on the hydrogen pipeline network of Belgium hydrogen network operator Fluxys Hydrogen, with 2026 targeted for completion. The pipeline will be gradually expanded in the coming years and form part of the European Hydrogen Backbone. This aims to connect the key ports and trading areas of Antwerp, Ghent, Kallo and Zelzate. Belgium has characterised the the pipeline as essential for decarbonising industry. Last April, Fluxys Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Fluxys, was appointed as the operator responsible for the development and management of the open-access hydrogen transport network. It is aiming for a yearly hydrogen transmission capacity of 30 TWh by 2030. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Service ‘holds key to bridging knowledge gaps in hydrogen’ – Swagelok | Podcast

With the hydrogen industry constantly evolving, delivering on service and standards always counts. In the latest 1895 episode, ‘From design to deployment: the role of service solutions in hydrogen’, Danny van den Burg, Lead Solutions Specialist at Swagelok – which specialises in containing and controlling liquids and gases in critical applications – highlights why service is just as critical as having great product. Hydrogen tanks and tech have been part of the stable at Swagelok for many years, and van den Burg himself has nearly 20 years’ engineering experience with the gas molecule. When it comes to hydrogen, he says, “What we see is the dynamic in low-carbon emissions and a big shift towards how to produce hydrogen in cleaner ways. And there are new players coming in.” “But the product is not always compliant.… Read More »Service ‘holds key to bridging knowledge gaps in hydrogen’ – Swagelok | Podcast

World Bank’s IFC maps out Nigeria CO2 storage potential | CCS

Carbon capture and storage is now firmly in energy-focused Nigeria’s sights Carbon capture and storage is now firmly in energy-focused Nigeria’s sights The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the arm of the World Bank that focuses on developing countries, has published a comprehensive atlas and report charting the steps Nigeria must take to drive its CCS industry and decarbonisation more generally. The analysis acknowledges that Nigeria is wrestling with twin challenges. It is on track to be the third most populous country in the world by 2050 – with the population projected to rise from 210 million today to 411 million – and yet, like every nation, it must meet its rising demographic and energy needs sustainably while reducing emissions. The IFC notes that carbon capture and storage (CCS), including the country’s depleted oil and gas… Read More »World Bank’s IFC maps out Nigeria CO2 storage potential | CCS

Nippon Sanso cancels US hydrogen project and announces $190m write-down | Taiyo Nippon Sanso

Global industrial gases group Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation (NSHD) has written off $190m following the cancellation of a hydrogen production plant in the US. NSHD’s decision came after a reassessment of the project’s viability. The company concluded that resuming construction, which was already paused, was no longer feasible, leading to the write-down of the plant’s value. The financial hit, however, is not expected to affect any other plans. This cancellation follows a wider trend in the industry. Air Products recently cancelled three major US hydrogen projects, resulting in a much bigger $3.1bn write-down. The company cited rising costs, regulatory challenges and concerns about the commercial viability of green hydrogen as reasons for the cancellations.

Germany’s TÜV SÜD to operate new hydrogen test hub in Scotland | Hydrogen

A new green hydrogen test facility is set to be developed in Aberdeen, Scotland. German-headquartered certification and testing firm TÜV SÜD has been appointed operator under a collaboration agreement with UK-based ETZ, which is leading the facility’s development. The Green Hydrogen Test and Demonstration Facility (GHTDF), located in the south of the city within the Energy Transition Zone, is expected to launch in early 2027. It will serve as the flagship site of Aberdeen’s Hydrogen Campus, offering open-access infrastructure to test hydrogen technologies including electrolysers, valves and meters. TÜV SÜD will run the facility with a remit to support the safe and reliable scale-up of green hydrogen production and use. A final investment decision is expected in early 2026. Martin McCormack, Director for CCUS and Hydrogen at ETZ, described the appointment of TÜV SÜD as… Read More »Germany’s TÜV SÜD to operate new hydrogen test hub in Scotland | Hydrogen
