Reducing electrolysis costs, support for first-mover projects in the UK

Julian Atchison April 13, 2025

27 low-emission hydrogen projects have been shortlisted for funding by the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, including Statkraft’s marine ammonia fuel project in Shetland. The UK government has also confirmed that it will exempt electricity used in electrolysis from the Climate Change Levy - one of fourteen policy recommendations from the authors of the Splitting the Difference roadmap to reduce the price of producing electrolytic hydrogen in the UK by 58%.

First Headstart funding announced in Australia

Julian Atchison March 20, 2025

Once operational, the Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners-led Murchison Green Hydrogen project will receive AU$814 million in hydrogen production credits from the Australian government as part of the Hydrogen Headstart program. Nearly 1.8 million tons of renewable ammonia per year will be produced, primarily for export to Asian markets.

FertigHy: reducing dependence on fossil-based fertilizers in Europe

Kevin Rouwenhorst March 16, 2025

In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored the FertigHy consortium’s plans to construct its first grid-connected ammonia and fertilizer plant in northern France. Using electrolytic hydrogen produced from France’s renewable and nuclear-dominated grid, FertigHy will provide long-term, fixed-price fertilizer supplies to the EU, reducing dependence on imports. Technology licensor and project partner Stamicarbon explored considerations for low-emission ammonia plants, and the technology sets available.

Shared hydrogen pipeline infrastructure for renewable ammonia production in Inner Mongolia

Kevin Rouwenhorst March 03, 2025

The Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia has released plans for a common-user hydrogen pipeline infrastructure network throughout the region. This will support development of a series of renewable ammonia projects, and adds to the growing list of hydrogen pipeline projects across China. To transport the ammonia to key future demand centres (such as power plants and ports), ammonia pipelines may be the next step.
