Todays Latest Updates: 7 September 2026

Ammonia production: Germany. Uniper will proceed with developing its 2.6 million tonnes per year ammonia-to-hydrogen import facility in Germany, after receiving sufficient expressions of interest from potential offtakers.  The terminal is planned to receive up to 2.6 million tonnes of ammonia and crack it into around 350,000 tonnes of hydrogen to feed into Germany’s 9,000km hydrogen core network. It will also include rail loading infrastructure for onward ammonia transport. has already committed to importing up to 500,000 tonnes of ammonia per year from AM Green’s 1.3GW project in India, enough to provide around 80,000 tonnes of green hydrogen.

Hydrogen: Spain. A further €66.3m ($77.1m) has been allocated to BP and Iberdrola’s green hydrogen plans in Spain by Valencia’s regional government. The Castellón Green Hydrogen Phase 2 SL (CGH) joint venture (JV) secured funds to build its “Tractor Project 1: large pilot demonstrator of renewable hydrogen. The project will be accompanied by a sustainable fuels pretreatment facility, Tractor Project 2, for which BP’s Spain subsidiary was awarded €9.7m ($11.3m) in the same tranche of investments.

Plastic recycling: Germany. Arcus Greencycling Technologies and the Stoll Group have built a demonstration plant at the Höchst Industrial Park that continuously processes mixed plastic waste into pyrolysis oil. The modular automation and safety concept lays the foundation for scaling the process up to industrial levels. Link 07/09/2026.

Policy: Europe. ORLEN has joined forces with 13 energy companies and organizations from Northern and Central Europe to establish the Baltic Energy Initiative. The partners will work together on projects designed to strengthen energy security and competitiveness across the region, covering offshore wind, LNG and bioLNG, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (CCS), nuclear power and small modular reactors (SMRs). The agreement has been signed by 14 organisations from: Poland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Norway. Alongside ORLEN, the signatories are Eesti Energia, Enefit, Fortum, KN Energies, DNV Energy Systems, Topsoe, Siemens Energy, Adven, Steady Energy, P2X Solutions,  Latvenergo, Gasgrid Finland and Orsted.

Policy: Spain. Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) and the Green Party in Aragón are calling for a six-month moratorium on new biogas and biomethane plants while regional authorities develop stronger planning and regulations. The parties say the rapid growth of roughly 75 projects across Aragón, including 31 in Huesca province, has raised concerns about environmental impacts, digestate management, waste sourcing and proximity to communities. Their proposed measures include a public project registry, limits on installation concentration, stricter environmental assessments, controls on waste transport and greater public participation.
