Fusion Fuel Green Partners With CCC to Develop Hydrogen Plant
A
green hydrogen technology company, headquartered in Ireland, Fusion Fuel Green PLC has announced that it has partnered with Consolidated Contractors Group S.A.L. (CCC), to develop a green hydrogen plant in the Middle East. CCC and Fusion Fuel, both have agreed to collaborate on projects that involve the production of green hydrogen. Then the produced hydrogen can be used by the potential clients in the refining and petrochemical industries in order to reduce their carbon footprint. Both the companies are planning to develop some demonstrator plants in various countries in the region, particularly Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. Fusion Fuel Green is dedicated to making zero-emissions green hydrogen commercially viable and accessible. The firm has created a revolutionary proprietary electrolyzer solution that allows it to produce hydrogen at highly competitive costs using renewable energy. Recounting the partnership, the Head of Business Development at Fusion Fuel, Joao
Wahnon says, “We are delighted to be partnering with the CCC to open this new market. The Middle East represents a big opportunity and a very promising region for us, given the high levels of solar exposure, strong appetite for green hydrogen projects, and strategic geographic position between
Europe and Asia.” “We are excited to bring Fusion Fuel’s revolutionary technology to the Middle East,” Joao added. CCC is an engineering and construction company in the Middle East, which has a worldwide turnover of over USD 4 Billion.
India H2 Alliance Makes Six-Point Submission to Create ‘Bharat H2’ Supply Chain
I
ndia H2 Alliance (IH2A), the industry-led energy transition coalition, has submitted a six-point agenda to the Government of India for creating a domestic ‘Bharat H2’ supply chain and to build hydrogen systems at scale. The six points are as follows: The Government of India should immediately constitute a Public-Private Bharat H2 Taskforce to prepare a milestone-based national hydrogen roadmap and build a hydrogen economy at scale. The Bharat H2 Taskforce and
38
roadmap should aim to tap India’s potential to create a national electrolyser installed capacity of 15-20 GW and promote domestic manufacturing through a National Electrolyser Manufacturing Mission, aligned with the government’s FAME II Scheme. India should create a national H2-themed Energy Transition Fund, with co-funding partnerships with sovereign partners, multilateral agencies, clean energy funds and industry, with the aim to raise USD 1 bn by 2030

for deployment towards national hydrogen projects of a certain scale. A uniform set of globallyharmonised and inter-operable Bharat H2 standards for hydrogen storage, transport and dispensation need to be finalized quickly, so that hydrogen adoption is accelerated across different sectors and use-cases. India should prioritise prefeasiblity studies of at least 10 national Bharat H2 Hydrogen Valleys or H2 Hubs – large-scale demonstration stage projects
with participation from industry consortia, incentives and off-take agreements guaranteed by the government. India should form a Bharat H2 Industrial Group to leverage hydrogen for de-carbonisation efforts in steel, refineries, fertilizers and cement industrial clusters, and a separate Bharat H2 Heavy-Duty Freight Transport Group for hydrogen commerciaisation in railways, trucking and shipping, recognizing the different hydrogen infrastructure requirements in both groups.
