French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has confirmed a €149m subsidy from the French government for its Green Horizon project, one of the country’s largest upcoming green hydrogen production sites. The support package, signed with public sector investment bank Bpifrance, will be disbursed in phases and includes an initial €18m payment scheduled for June 2025. The full grant will be awarded over a four-year period, tied to project milestones. Located in Gonfreville-l’Orcher near Le Havre in northern France, the site is expected to produce up to 34 tonnes of green hydrogen per day once completed. It will be Lhyfe’s first facility to pass the 100 MW mark in installed electrolysis capacity and is scheduled for completion by 2029. Green Horizon has been designated an Important Project of Common European Interest by the European Commission and was one… Read More »Lhyfe secures €149m French government grant for large-scale hydrogen project
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) plans to produce clean hydrogen using heat from a high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor at the Oarai Nuclear Engineering Institute in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo. JAEA has applied to Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority to connect a hydrogen production facility to its high-temperature test reactor, as part of a broader effort to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as steelmaking and the chemical industry. If approved, the project could position high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology as a viable production method for low-carbon hydrogen. According to the agency, it would mark the world’s first use of a high-temperature gas reactor for hydrogen production at this scale. The process will use heat (up to 950°C) generated by the test reactor to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This method, known as thermochemical water splitting, enables… Read More »Japan pilot targets clean hydrogen from nuclear heat | Hydrogen

Renewable energy specialist NTPC Green Energy has partnered with the gas processing technology licensor Honeywell UOP India to explore production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in India. Under a memorandum of understanding signed on 25 April, the partners will assess how Honeywell’s eFining technology can produce SAF using green hydrogen and carbon dioxide captured from power plants operated by NTPC, which is India’s largest power utility company and the parent company of NTPC Green Energy. The project is part of NTPC Green Energy’s green hydrogen hub project at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh – a 1,200 acre facility that will produce green chemicals using sustainable manufacturing methods. The company aims to complete the first hub by 2027 and most of the second one by 2032. “This partnership … supports our goal of reaching a renewable energy… Read More »Indian green energy firm to explore SAF project with Honeywell | Methanol & e-fuels
