It’s like that old cliché about waiting ages for a bus and then three arriving at once.
Until last week, only two 100MW-plus green hydrogen projects in Europe had reached a final investment decision (FID) — Shell’s 200MW Holland Hydrogen 1 in the Netherlands and H2 Green Steel’s 740MW project in northern Sweden.
Then, last Wednesday, TotalEnergies announced it had taken FID on its 350MW OranjeWind green H2 project in the Netherlands. And in the space of a few minutes the next morning, Hydrogen Insight learned that both Shell and EWE had taken FIDs on their respective 100MW Refhyne 2 and 280MW Clean Hydrogen Coastline – Electrolysis East Frisia (CHC-EEF) projects in Germany.
