Air Liquide has secured a €110m grant from the European Innovation Fund to support its ENHANCE project in the port of Antwerp-Bruges, Belgium. The initiative focuses on producing low-carbon hydrogen from ammonia by building an ammonia cracking plant and a hydrogen liquefier on an industrial scale. This project will retrofit an existing hydrogen production unit to use renewable ammonia, drastically reducing carbon emissions by over 300,000 tonnes annually. By leveraging ammonia as a feedstock, the produced hydrogen will cater to various hard-to-decarbonise sectors like refineries, chemicals, and transportation. Europe's push for renewable hydrogen is evident in projects like the HyNet North West, AquaVentus, and the EU's Hydrogen IPCEI, aiming to scale up hydrogen production and infrastructure to achieve carbon neutrality and enhance competitiveness in the green energy market.
