Repsol has told pv magazine that it has frozen 90% of Spain's hydrogen projects nearing final investment decisions, while Statkraft has confirmed that it has revised its plans for its hydrogen project in Norway.

The project has thus reached the Grant Agreement Preparation stage. The next step will be the preparation and signing of the Grant Agreement with Cinea, the granting authority, to formalize the €21 million financing.

Statkraft says it is progressing with its 200 MW electrolysis plant in Germany, while Neste says it will not invest in its 120 MW electrolyzer project in Finland.

Germany chemical producer BASF and India’s AM Green B.V. have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly evaluate and develop business opportunities for low-carbon chemicals produced exclusively with renewable energy, and the corresponding value chains in India. BASF also agreed on the offtake of 100,000 tons of green ammonia per year from AM Green’s plants in India.

Morocco and TE H2 have agreed to reserve land for the Chbika hydrogen project in Morocco. They aim to build 1 GW of solar and wind capacity to annually produce 200,000 tons of green ammonia for the European market.

Greenzo Energy has unveiled an indigenously design electrolyzer stack, which, it says, functions reliably across diverse Indian climates. The stack is now commercially available.

Uniper has told pv magazine that it has delayed its 2030 hydrogen investment target.

The European Union will continue advancing hydrogen projects, focusing on infrastructure design and supporting production with European equipment, according to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.

HiiROC and Siemens have signed a memorandum of understanding to make advanced control technologies and ensure the safe automation of hydrogen production.

The project will combine green hydrogen generated by Ohmium PEM electrolyzers with CO2 captured from the Singareni Thermal Power Plant to produce green methanol.
