Hydrogen and offshore wind: highs and lows, mostly lows

In this episode, the team analyses the prominent hydrogen and offshore wind developments in the first half of May. We go over the grant award under European Commission's second hydrogen bank auction which also included a provision for the use of hydrogen derivative as bunker fuel, a first under this mechanism.

In not so positive news for the sector, hydrogen refuelling stations operator Hynion's Swedish subsidiary filed for bankruptcy citing challenging market conditions.

Staying in the region, the team breaks down the future of the offshore wind sector in Sweden and the potential for the re-launched floating offshore wind tender in Norway.

We also go over the reasons behind Netherlands' decision to reduce the target capacity for its upcoming offshore wind tender and round off the discussion with the Equinor's offshore wind woes in the US.
