Hamburg, 04 July, 2025 – Hintco has entered the Application Phase for the regional lots of its 2025 competitive auction for renewable hydrogen and its derivatives (RFNBOs). The publication on TED can be found via

• African Lot (AFL)

Interested suppliers are now invited to submit a Request to Participate, formally expressing their intent to join the auction process. Requests to participate can be uploaded to the electronic platform by 12 September. The relevant procedure is described in detail in the auction documents.

To be considered, applicants must meet the eligibility criteria, including demonstration of financial robustness, technical capability, and an electrolyser input capacity of at least 5 MW.

“With the launch of this Application Phase, we are taking another step toward real, bankable projects,” said Timo Bollerhey, CEO of Hintco. “Our goal is to build a functioning market for renewable hydrogen and its derivatives – one that connects suppliers and buyers across borders and helps drive the global energy transition forward.”

All updated contract and auction documents, as well as the submission forms for the Request to Participate, are now available via the tender agent. Links to the respective sites can be found on the Hintco website via hintco.eu/hpa-auctions.

The application phase for the global ‘vector-open’ lot, jointly financed with the Netherlands KGG and focussed on the supply of hydrogen, will be announced separately.
