Mobile refuelling unit supplies six fuel-cell buses with RFNBO-certified green hydrogen, allowing service start in December 2025 while a permanent station is built in 2026.
Final major contract fixes cost and planning for a 320 MW electrolyser, enabling long-term green-hydrogen supply deals. First production slated late 2027; stable regulation needed.
The 280 MW electrolysis plant in Emden will produce 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by 2027, reducing CO2 emissions by 800,000 tons. The project is part of the "Clean Hydrogen Coastline" initiative.
A 100 MW electrolysis plant will produce 9,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by 2026 for CO2-free steel production. The project is backed by German subsidies and Salzgitter AG's funds.
The EU Commission approved state aid for a low-CO2 steelmaking program, enabling up to €1 billion in national funding. The first development stage aims for completion by 2025, reducing emissions by 95%.
