Three major green hydrogen projects led by French firms are moving forward in the United Kingdom, backed by public funding and totalling over 250 MW of electrolysis capacity. With active roles in the Tees, Wallsend and Fawley initiatives, companies like Lhyfe, EDF, Hynamics and Hy24 are strengthening their global presence and shaping the future of renewable hydrogen deployment in Europe.

The Bundesverband Windenergie Offshore (BWO) calls for a practical approach to applying the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), warning that excessive bureaucracy could hinder investment and jeopardize offshore wind expansion. “The NZIA is an opportunity to strengthen Europe’s offshore wind supply chain, but only if implemented with agility and clarity,” says Stefan Thimm, Managing Director of BWO.
