Targeting: Hydrogen (2), Natural gas (1)
Draft project decision, EIA and permits open for comment 18 Sep–29 Oct 2026; route crosses Beverwijk, Velsen, Zaanstad, Haarlemmermeer and Amsterdam.
Final drilling section completed, bringing commissioning closer and allowing residual Port of Rotterdam heat to supply roughly 120,000 homes and businesses.
Stable production and deliveries but lower sales and operating profit due to USD hedging losses and higher energy, maintenance and urban transformation costs; two key permits granted.
Opened a 32‑km Rotterdam hydrogen pipeline, progressed CO₂ and heat projects, boosted LNG capacity, and saw shifting gas flows with higher power‑sector demand.
Risk‑sharing and financing terms agreed to enable new nuclear on the Värö Peninsula; ownership structure effective 2027; Rolls‑Royce SMR selected to supply three small modular reactors.
Detailed planning starts for three modular PWR reactors (470 MW each) expected to produce ~12 TWh/year; supplier choice follows a four-year evaluation of more than 70 options.
Court allows continued and expanded mining and processing in Malmberget, including a demo fossil-free sponge iron plant and an apatite processing line for Luleå supply.
At Juliusburg/Krukow 80 MWp solar park, low-emission steel made from nearly 100% scrap cuts substructure CO₂ by 67% (460→153 t), reducing construction supply‑chain emissions.
