The EU Innovation Fund has awarded €2.9 billion ($3.4 billion) to 61 projects, including eight advanced hydrogen technologies in aviation, shipping and heavy transport.
The European Union has chosen 61 net-zero technology projects for funding under the Innovation Fund for NetZero Technologies call, with a total support of €2.9 billion. Eight of these projects focus on hydrogen, including the Danish Endor project to build large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF), the Spanish Luxia project for the integrated production of renewable hydrogen, methanol and ammonia, and the H2CWAY project in the Czech Republic to produce two types of intercity hydrogen fuel cell buses. Other initiatives include Estonia’s PP2XH e-methanol value chain, Italy’s H2EAT 25 kW wall-mounted hydrogen boiler production line, Finland’s MAGHYC onboard hydrogen generation with carbon capture for a cruise ship, Norway’s ODIN retrofit of 15 Cessna 208B Grand Caravans with hydrogen-electric powertrains, and the RjukanLH2 liquid hydrogen (LH2) supply chain for four shortsea container ships. “The committee is preparing to launch the next calls for the Innovation Fund in early December 2025,” said the European executive body, noting that the funding comes from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
Lhyfe has signed a purchasing agreement with a gas station operator in Germany. “Under this new contract, Lhyfe will supply approximately 90 tons of RFNBO-certified hydrogen to a filling station operator in Germany over a period of 15 months. These filling stations will fuel a fleet of several dozen buses,” the French company said.
Always fuel has inaugurated the HySynergy factory in Fredericia, Denmark, together with Crossbridge Energy Fredericia, before the first filled hydrogen trailer is shipped to Germany. “This is the first time that RFNBO-certified green hydrogen produced in Denmark is exported abroad, where market conditions for green hydrogen are more favorable,” the Danish company said. saidadding that the plant is one of the first large-scale electrolysis facilities for certified green hydrogen in Europe. Everfuel aims to realize more than 2 GW of electrolysis capacity in Denmark by 2035.
Topoo has inaugurated Europe’s so-called largest stacked Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) production facility in Denmark and will supply its dynamic ammonia loop technology to Synergen Green Energy’s ammonia project in the United States. “The dynamic ammonia process plant will allow ammonia production to be ramped up or down at a rate of at least 3% per minute in response to the fluctuating supply of hydrogen to the ammonia plant,” the Danish company said, adding that the technology should significantly reduce capital and operating expenses by substantially reducing or eliminating the need for hydrogen storage systems.
