Biodiesel: United Kingdom. Greenergy has began consultation on a proposal to cease production at its biodiesel plant in Immingham, Lincolnshire. Despite significant cost reductions to improve the plant’s viability, the Immingham plant has continued to be negatively impacted by market factors, including slower increases in the UK’s biofuels blending mandates compared to European countries and competition from subsidised US-origin products.

Hydrogen: The Netherlands. Stellantis — the world’s third-largest automaker — is shifting focus away from hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company confirmed to Hydrogen Insight that its step back is due to a lack of wider investment into H2 refuelling infrastructure in Europe, with little progress from member states on implementing EU legislation that would support fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), such as the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. This is after the firm had already introduced eight new FCEV van models in January last year and bought a 33% stake in fuel-cell supplier Symbio in 2023. Link14/07/2025
