Regional hydrogen projects selected as project of European interest

Smart Delta Resources partners Air Liquide, Ørsted and Yara have made excellent progress in their sustainability strategy. The green hydrogen projects ELYgator (Air Liquide) and Haddock (Ørsted & Yara) were selected last week as a project of European interest. The projects have been awarded the so-called IPCEI status (IPCEI: Important Project of Common European Interest) from the European Commission. The IPCEI status gives projects a positive qualification and thus access to broader forms of financing.

It is also a boost for the green hydrogen economy in the Benelux. In a European context, 35 projects have obtained an IPCEI status, of which no fewer than 8 Dutch and 4 Belgian projects.
