H2Global Launches Second Hydrogen Import Tender Worth Up to EUR 3 Billion

Hintco officially launched the second H2Global tender to support the import of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives. The tender is a major step towards expanding hydrogen supply chains in Europe and accelerating the adoption of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs).

Key Highlights of the Tender:

• Five Lots: The tender is divided into four regional lots (with delivery to Germany) and one global lot (with delivery to Germany and the Netherlands).
• Budget Allocation:
  • EUR 484 million minimum for regional lots.
  • EUR 567 million minimum for the global lot.
  • Total funding of EUR 2.5 billion, which could increase to nearly EUR 3 billion based on final budget approvals.
• Lot Types: The tender includes product-open and vector-open categories, which define the flexibility of accepted hydrogen derivatives and transportation methods.

This tender is a significant step for Europe’s hydrogen economy, ensuring stable hydrogen supply chains while fostering international partnerships. As Germany and the Netherlands push for large-scale hydrogen adoption, this funding will help bridge the gap between production and demand.
