💣 BREAKING: BP Ditches World's Largest Green Hydrogen Project!
💼 BP backs out of $36B Australian Renewable Energy Hub (AREH)
📍 Location: Pilbara, WA | Size: 6,500 km² | Goal: 26 GW solar + wind

🧨 The Exit:
📌 BP stepping down as operator & equity holder
📌 AREH Co. takes over ops with help from InterContinental Energy
📉 Strategy shift: BP pivots back to fossil fuels & profits over green goals
⚠️ What This Signals:
❌ Green hydrogen still too expensive to scale
🧊 Market cooling off — no cost breakthroughs, no strong buyers
📉 Not Just BP:
🚫 Fortescue cancels $550M Arizona + $150M Gladstone hydrogen projects
💸 Woodside takes a profit hit from a U.S. hydrogen exit
📊 Rystad: ~⅓ of Aussie green hydrogen pipeline now shelved or scrapped
⚗️ Why Green H₂ Struggles:
⚡ Needs ultra-cheap clean power for viability
🚱 High costs, low returns = investor cold feet
