July 9, 2026 |

In the UK, Gas World reported that chemicals major Ineos has signed a preliminary blue hydrogen offtake deal with the Equinor-Engie joint venture H2BE for its Project One cracker in Antwerp, Belgium.

Blue hydrogen produced by Engie and Equinor could be supplied via a pipeline from Ghent to Antwerp as Ineos intends to make its Project One facility the “first zero carbon steam cracker in Europe,” according to the report.

The report added that the $4bn project has been billed as one of the largest European chemicals investments in recent decades and will produce 1.5 million tons of ethylene per year using 100% hydrogen as a fuel, with carbon capture also equipped.
