Huge news from #clean energy! We are thrilled to announce the launch of Hintco's second H2Global tender round, which will significantly boost global hydrogen markets. This multi-billion euro auction demonstrates the power of international collaboration to scale up #renewable hydrogen production.⚡🌍🌱

𝗛𝟮𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻 🇯🇵 H2Global continues to deepen its collaboration with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), JH2A|水素バリューチェーン推進協議会, and Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Special thanks go to the Chair of the H2Global’s Board of Trustees, Dr. Axel Wietfeld, and Dr. Christian Storost from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action who supported our efforts to further strengthen relationships in the region. 📌 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 H2Global Foundation co-hosted a seminar with JOGMEC and JH2A, that brought together 500+ participants from Japan’s energy, trading, financial, and manufacturing sectors, and leading research institutions. It provided a platform to: 👉 Introduce Japan’s hydrogen initiatives and support schemes 👉 Present the H2Global approach to building international hydrogen supply chains 👉 Discuss the next steps needed to scale up clean hydrogen market beyond first-mover support We are truly grateful for the strong interest in H2Global’s approach in Japan. A big thank you to our partners JOGMEC, JH2A as well as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and all the speakers for making this event a success! 📌 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝘆𝗼 H2Global had insightful discussions with TMG, whose first trial hydrogen trade will bring renewable hydrogen from a neighboring prefecture to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area – a major step in regional hydrogen market development. 📌𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 “Clean hydrogen won’t become a global commodity through technology or policy alone – it requires real, on-the-ground efforts. Programs like Japan’s CfD Initiative, Green Market Makers like H2Global as well as dedicated hydrogen funds like the Japanese Hydrogen Fund are crucial in turning ambition into action.” – Markus Exenberger, Executive Director, H2Global Foundation “International cooperation is key, and a global hydrogen market needs global collaboration. While challenges vary across countries, our goals remain the same. By working together, we can accelerate progress and turn shared ambitions into real results.” – Elisabeth Sterner, Project Manager, H2Global Foundation #H2Global #cleanhydrogen #Japan #CleanEnergy
