Fusion Fuel Green PLC Announces Groundbreaking of Landmark Industrial Decarbonization Project in South Africa
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO) announced groundbreaking of a biomass-powered industrial steam project in South Africa through BioSteam Energy, a majority-owned joint venture. Construction and equipment fabrication have started, with proprietary biomass boiler and fuel systems being produced by an affiliate.
The project is the company's first operational footprint in Southern Africa, targets replacement of a fossil-fuel steam system with a carbon-neutral biomass solution, and is expected to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and generate verified carbon credits. The plant is expected to be commissioned and enter commercial operation in January 2026, with initial revenues to follow thereafter.
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO) ha annunciato l'avvio di un progetto di vapore industriale alimentato a biomassa in Sudafrica tramite BioSteam Energy, una joint venture controllata dalla maggioranza. È iniziata la costruzione e la fabbricazione delle attrezzature, con sistemi proprietari di caldaie e combustibile a biomassa prodotti da una controllata.
Il progetto rappresenta la prima impronta operativa della società nell'Africa meridionale, mira a sostituire un sistema di vapore alimentato da combustibili fossili con una soluzione a biomassa a carbonio neutro e dovrebbe ridurre le emissioni di gas serra di Scope 1 e Scope 2 e generare crediti di carbonio verificati. L'impianto si prevede che entrerà in funzione e opererà commercialmente a gennaio 2026, con i ricavi iniziali che seguiranno.
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO) anunció el inicio de la construcción de un proyecto de vapor industrial impulsado por biomasa en Sudáfrica a través de BioSteam Energy, una empresa conjunta de la que posee la mayoría. La construcción y la fabricación de equipos han comenzado, con sistemas propietarios de calderas y combustible de biomasa producidos por una filial.
El proyecto es la primera huella operativa de la empresa en el sur de África, apunta a reemplazar un sistema de vapor con combustibles fósiles por una solución de biomasa neutra en carbono, y se espera que reduzca las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de Alcance 1 y Alcance 2 y genere créditos de carbono verificados. Se espera que la planta se inaugure y entre en operación comercial en enero de 2026, con ingresos iniciales que seguirán después.
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO)는 BioSteam Energy를 통해 남아프리카 공화국에서 바이오매스 기반의 산업용 증기 프로젝트의 착공을 발표했습니다. 다수 지분을 보유한 합작 투자회사. 건설 및 설비 제조가 시작되었습니다, 자회사에서 독점적으로 바이오매스 보일러 및 연료 시스템을 생산하고 있습니다.
이 프로젝트는 회사의 남부 아프리카에서의 최초 운영 발자국이며, 화석 연료 증기 시스템을 탄소 중립 바이오매스 솔루션으로 대체하는 것을 목표로 하고 있으며, 스코프 1 및 스코프 2 온실가스 배출량 감소와 검증된 탄소 크레딧 생성을 기대합니다. 공장은 2026년 1월에 가동을 시작하고 상업적으로 가동될 예정이며, 초기 수익은 그 이후에 따라올 것입니다.
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO) a annoncé le démarrage d'un projet de vapeur industrielle propulsé par la biomasse en Afrique du Sud via BioSteam Energy, une coentreprise détenue majoritairement. La construction et la fabrication des équipements ont commencé, les systèmes propriétaires de chaudières et de carburant à base de biomasse étant produits par une filiale.
Le projet est la première empreinte opérationnelle de la société en Afrique australe, vise à remplacer un système de vapeur à combustibles fossiles par une solution biomasse neutre en carbone, et devrait réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre des scopes 1 et 2 et générer des crédits carbone vérifiés. L’usine est prévue pour être mise en service et entrer en opération commerciale en janvier 2026, avec des revenus initiaux qui suivront.
Fusion Fuel Green (Nasdaq: HTOO) kündigte den Baubeginn eines biomass-basierten Industriedampfprojekts in Südafrika über BioSteam Energy an, ein Mehrheitsbeteiligungs-Joint-Venture. Konstruktion und Fertigung der Ausrüstung haben begonnen, wobei proprietäre Biomassekessel- und Brennstoffsysteme von einer Tochtergesellschaft hergestellt werden.
Das Projekt ist die erste operative Präsenz des Unternehmens in Südafrika, zielt darauf ab, ein fossiles Dampfsystem durch eine CO2-neutrale Biomasselösung zu ersetzen, und soll Scope-1- und Scope-2-Treibhausgasemissionen reduzieren und verifizierte CO2-Gutschriften erzeugen. Die Anlage wird voraussichtlich im Januar 2026 in Betrieb genommen und kommerziell betrieben werden, wobei die anfänglichen Einnahmen danach folgen sollen.
Fusion Fuel Green (ناسداك: HTOO) أعلنت عن بدء مشروع بخار صناعي يعمل بالطاقة الحيوية في جنوب إفريقيا عبر BioSteam Energy، وهو مشروع مشترك مملوك بشكلٍ كبير. بدأ البناء وتصنيع المعدات، حيث تُنتَج أنظمة الغلايات والوقود الحيوي المملوكة لفرع.
المشروع هو أول وجود تشغيلي للشركة في جنوب إفريقيا، ويهدف إلى استبدال نظام بخار يعتمد على الوقود الأحفوري بحل كتلة حيوية محايد للكربون، ومن المتوقع أن يقلل انبعاثات الغازات الدفيئة من النطاق 1 والنطاق 2 ويولد اعتمادات كربونية مُوثقة. من المتوقع أن يُشغَّل المصنع ويدخل في التشغيل التجاري في يناير 2026، مع أن تتبع العائدات الأولية لاحقاً.

Insights
Groundbreaking starts Fusion Fuel's first Southern African industrial decarbonization project, targeting commercial operation in
Fusion Fuel advances from planning to execution by commissioning a biomass boiler and fuel systems for a dairy processing facility through a majority-owned JV, BioSteam Energy. Construction and equipment fabrication already started, with Alien Energy performing manufacturing work.
The business mechanism converts fossil-steam to a carbon-neutral biomass steam supply, enabling near-term revenue once the plant reaches commercial operation in

The project substitutes fossil fuel with biomass, aiming to cut Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and create verified carbon credits.
Replacing a fossil steam system with a carbon-neutral biomass solution can directly reduce operational greenhouse gases and create tradable carbon credits via landfill avoidance and fuel-switching benefits. The announcement links emissions reductions to verified credits, indicating planned measurement or verification steps.
Realized carbon revenue depends on successful verification and registration of credits, plus the timing of issuance after commissioning. Verification processes and credit issuance timelines will determine when carbon-credit revenue appears relative to plant revenue.
