Australia's hydrogen industry said more is needed from the government to help the industry reach commercial scale.

Russia is considering developing hydrogen projects based on nuclear, natural gas and renewables, and plans to capitalize on domestic resources, existing energy supply routes, and proximity to potential future consumers in Europe and Asia.

Rosatom was working with the Sakhalin Oblast government on comprehensive measures to support the project, including those related to organising a hydrogen production complex on the island, where hydrogen can be produced for the needs of the transport sector.

“Sinopec will expand forcefully into making hydrogen from renewable energy, and zero in on hydrogen for transportation fuel and using green hydrogen for refining,” acting Chairman Ma Yongsheng said.

A booming, UK-wide hydrogen economy could be worth £900 million and create over 9,000 high-quality jobs by 2030, potentially rising to 100,000 jobs and worth up to £13 billion by 2050.

The HyDeploy project will deliver a blend of 20% hydrogen into the natural gas supply to Winlaton, Gateshead, supplying 668 houses, a school and several small businesses, for 10 months starting in August, Northern Gas Networks said in a statement.

Aramco and ADNOC are likely to use their connections to woo investments to their hydrogen and ammonia projects.

Reliance Industries and Chart Industries launched the India H2 Alliance (IH2A) to build the hydrogen economy and supply chain in India.

These activities in the short-term will be followed by the growth and diversification of the sector from 2025 to 2030. Thereafter, through rapid expansion until 2050, Canada will start to realize the full benefits of the hydrogen strategy.

A new “Hydrogen Alliance” was launched by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and three of Abu Dhabi’s largest government-backed companies (Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, and ADQ) in January 2021
