French developer Lhyfe has announced results of its pilot floating offshore hydrogen platform.

During COP28 in Dubai, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) unveiled a new technical specification (ISO/TS 19870) as a foundation for harmonisation, safety, interoperability and sustainability across the hydrogen value chain.

The European Commission, Council of Ministers and European Parliament reached a final agreement on the hydrogen and decarbonised gas package, a regulation and directive that will shape the market for hydrogen transmission, distribution, and storage.

The European Commission has adopted the 6th list of Projects of Common Interest. The list consists of 166 infrastructure projects: over half (85) are electricity, offshore, and smart electricity grid projects, and 14 CO2 network projects.

With an initial €800m budget renewable hydrogen producers will be able to bid for a fixed-price premium of up to €4.5 per kilogram of hydrogen produced during 10 years to support their projects.

Germany’s core network for hydrogen fuel will extend over 9,700 km (6,000 miles) and cost around 20 billion euros ($21 billion) by 2032, the chairman of transmission system operator FNB Gas said, as Berlin bets on the fuel for decarbonisation.

Air Liquide and Siemens Energy have launched their joint gigawatt electrolyser factory in Berlin, Germany – a move that will enable the manufacturing of low-carbon hydrogen at industrial scale.

The construction of the first section of a 1,200-kilometer national hydrogen network began near Rotterdam. Officials said the Netherlands would be the first country in Europe with such infrastructure.

The Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), RMI, Systemiq, Power2X, and industry leaders have formed a coalition to enable an inaugural shipment of clean hydrogen from the United States to Europe by 2026.
