In India, Bio Energy Times reported that the Dutch government has granted more than $818.2 million in subsidies to support 11 green hydrogen projects, aiming to close the cost gap between producing hydrogen from renewable sources and fossil fuels.
Together, the selected projects represent a combined electrolysis capacity of 602 megawatts (MW) and were chosen during the second round of the country’s Scaling Up Hydrogen via Electrolysis (OWE) subsidy scheme. The program is designed to encourage large-scale production of green hydrogen using renewable electricity, according to the report.
Companies receiving the subsidies include Air Liquide Industrie, Circul8 Hydrogen Factory, The Toll Sustainable, Essent Hydrogen, Eurus Energy Europe, FR Energyhubs, H2Eron, Statkraft Renewables Benelux, Uniper Hydrogen Netherlands, Vattenfall, and Westphalia Hydrogen.
All subsidized projects are expected to be completed by mid-2030, the report added.
