Nordics and Iberia offer Europe’s lowest-cost RFNBO hydrogen: Aurora Energy Research
Backed by cheap, abundant renewable electricity and hybrid PPAs, the Nordics and Iberia could deliver LCOH between €5.4 and €10.6/kg, according to Aurora.

Nikkiso’s pump unit will combine technology from hydrogen refuelling stations and LNG ship fuel supply systems.
Air Liquide claimed the 20MW plant has also become the largest RFNBO-certified hydrogen production project in Europe.
The EU’s ISCC confirmed that hydrogen-based e-methanol production at European Energy’s commercial-scale plant meets RFNBO criteria.
Argus highlighted sharp price swings in blue hydrogen-derived ammonia over the past year, with values fluctuating by 65%. In February alone, prices swung by €269 per tonne.
However, CCS-enabled hydrogen is gaining momentum, with Westwood classifying 4GW of capacity as ‘probable’ across HyNet and the East Coast Cluster.
“While targets are essential, they will remain out of reach unless the policy landscape evolves,” said Westwood’s Jun Sasamura, with only 17% of planned hydrogen projects set to proceed.
The ReMet project will aim to optimise performance, efficiency and lifetime in hydrogen electrolysers, fuel cells and storage technologies.
Andrew Symes explained that if production rules are too stringent, “the PtL SAF market won’t even have a chance to be able to start because green hydrogen will be too expensive.”
Only audits conducted by Vinçotte, TÜD Rheinland and TÜD SÜD will result in a valid CertifHy EU RFNBO Scheme certificate.
