Hydrogen Economist looks at the new hydrogen projects added to our database and the progress made on existing developments

Twenty-two new projects were added to our database in the last two weeks and updates provided for eight existing developments, primarily across blue and green hydrogen.

Of the new projects, nine are in Asia-Pacific (Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand & Taiwan), eight are in Europe (Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway & the UK), three in North America (US) and two in the Middle East (Oman & Saudi Arabia).  In the UK, BP announced that it is developing plans for the country’s largest blue hydrogen production facility, targeting 1GW of hydrogen production by 2030. The proposed development, H2Teesside, would capture and store up to 2mn t/yr of CO₂ and support the development of the region as the UK’s first hydrogen transport hub. The project is expected to take FID in early 2024 and could begin production in 2027 or earlier, with an initial phase
