Todays Latest Updates: 23 April 2026

Biogas: SwedenSt1 Biokraft inaugurated a new gas pipeline that connects the company’s facilities in Henriksdal (Nacka) and Gladö Kvarn (Huddinge) via Stockholm’s gas network. The new connection means that capacity to produce liquefied biogas in Huddinge has more than doubled, strengthening both the green transition and the region’s security of supply of fossil-free fuels. The Gladö Kvarn facility comprises a production unit that produces approximately 100 GWh of biogas per year and two upgrading units that can produce compressed (CBG) and liquefied (LBG) biogas, respectively. The LBG unit was completed in late summer 2023 and was then one of the world’s largest liquefaction plants. Link 23/04/2026.

e-fuels: Iceland. Syntholene Energy entered a 500m² lease agreement at the Husavik Power Station site in Iceland. Syntholene plans to use the site as its first location in demonstration-scale thermally-integrated electrolyser. Syntholene’s goals of the sensible use of geothermal energy to produce cost effective and environmentally friendly synthetic fuel. Link 23/04/2026.

e-fuels: United Kingdom. UK start-up Rivan Industries raised £25m ($33.7m) to expand deployment of its green hydrogen-based synthetic natural gas (SNG) plants, to support domestic fuel production. The company, which is already commissioning a 15MW plant in the UK Southwest, plans to produce SGN “at costs competitive with fossil fuels” for injection to the gas grid. Rivan’s SNG system uses a calcium-looping direct air capture system to source carbon dioxide (CO2) for the process, while an alkaline electrolyser produces hydrogen. The two gases are then combined in a Sabatier reactor to generate methane. Link 23/04/2026.

Hydrogen: Germany. Germany is set to increase its mandates for green hydrogen in road transport beyond original plans following lobbying efforts from the sector. The law will implement targets for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) consumption in road mobility, under the EU-set Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III). Link 23/04/2026.

Hydrogen: India. Haffner secured an agreement for a green-hydrogen production plant, representing approximately €280 million, will produce 6,900 metric tons of green hydrogen annually using Haffner Energy’s proprietary SYNOCA® biomass gasification technology, supporting Maharashtra’s clean fuel transition.
