Nitrogen fixation, which describes producing ammonia sustainably, is now a $200bn market and one of the world’s top 10 emerging technologies, according to a new joint report from the World Economic Forum, Frontiers and Dubai Future Foundation. Converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia at a scale of more than 150 million tonnes a year is need to produced fertilisers and support half of the world’s food production. But the key challenge is breaking the extremely stable triple bond that holds together the two nitrogen atoms that make up atmospheric nitrogen (N2). In the Haber-Bosch process, this step requires temperatures of 400°C to 500°C, pressures 130 to 150 times greater than that found in the Earth’s atmosphere, and hydrogen primarily sourced from natural gas in a CO2-generating reaction. However, this process consumes 1% to 2% of global… Read More »Nitrogen fixation to make green ammonia ‘is top 10 emerging technology’
A UK chemicals facility that cut emissions by 75% by switching from natural gas to low-carbon hydrogen could miss out on millions in emissions trading scheme (ETS) allowances for two years due to a potential reclassification of the site. Ineos Acetyls said its Saltend site in Hull, acquired from BP in 2021, had cut 75% of its emissions due to its switch to blue hydrogen. The company said the move should have secured it millions in ETS allowances. However, the chemicals maker claims that the UK Environment Agency (EA) is mulling a reclassification of the site as a “new installation,” which would mean the site would not be eligible for ETS funds until 2028. … to continue reading you must be subscribed To access hundreds of features, subscribe today!

Australia’s green hydrogen sector has been dealt a major blow with news that Stanwell Corporation is stopping the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project. In a brief statement, it said the project had been a “valuable international collaboration that has provided important technical and commercial knowledge to support the future large-scale commercialisation of renewable hydrogen”, without detailing the reasons for pulling out. Funding is likely to be the main reason, as the Queensland government announced earlier this year it would not extend any further loans or grants for the project – and the broader slump in the hydrogen market will have been another factor. The ambitious project aimed to deliver 800 tonnes of green hydrogen per day and create almost 9,000 jobs, as well as delivering billions of dollars of export revenues over a 30-year lifespan. Australia… Read More »Hydrogen setback as Stanwell cancels Queensland project | Hydrogen
Port of Antwerp–Bruges is targeting hydrogen imports and carbon dioxide exports as it aims to position itself as Europe’s chemical and logistics hub. By 2030, it aims to import one million tonnes of hydrogen and derivates a year – not only for Belgium, but also as an energy source for industrial clusters in Germany and in other parts of Europe. It is building a large-scale carbon transport network and investing in facilities for importing low-carbon hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and biofuels. “All these projects are actively enabling the European Clean Industrial Deal, the focus of which is to create a competitive and climate-neutral industry, to become a reality,” it said in a statement. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit… Read More »Port of Antwerp–Bruges targets hydrogen and CO2 opportunities | Europe
Karmsund Hydrogen – owned by Norwegian Hydrogen, Sigma, and Karmsund Group – is partnering with HydePoint to build a green hydrogen facility in Karmsund. The facility, aiming to open in 2028, will be located at Karmsund Group’s service base, offering direct access to hydrogen users in the maritime and onshore sectors. The project plans to produce more than 3.000 tonnes annually based on 20 MW installed electrolysis capacity. “As a local company with strong roots in the business community here, we’re proud to take a concrete step toward establishing hydrogen production in Haugalandet,” said Marie Aanensen, Chair of the Board at Karmsund Hydrogen. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!

Clean hydrogen is not likely to become easier to finance through long-term offtake agreements being made, so another approach is needed. In Europe, this could include an institution being created to buy up any surplus hydrogen that’s being produced with some kind of transparent pricing attached. The idea was floated by Christian Stuckmann, Vice-President of Hydrogen for the state-owned German energy company Uniper, speaking as part of a panel debate on the bankability of clean hydrogen projects at the FT Hydrogen Summit 2025 in London. “Europe needs to buy the hydrogen,” said Stuckmann. “There are mechanisms out there that it could adopt, such as the H2Global model. It is [an intervention] that is needed because long-term offtake agreements are not going to be signed. It is too complex a space for those commitments to be… Read More »FT Hydrogen Summit: Developing new hydrogen finance models to overcome offtake impasse | Hydrogen
