ENGIE to Build Renewable Hydrogen Plant in Western Australia To Feed A Yara Ammonia Plant

That's an interesting tie-up.

From Reuters via Nasdaq, September 16:

MELBOURNE/OSLO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - ENGIE ENGIE.PA said on Friday it will go ahead with plans to build a green hydrogen plant in Western Australia to feed an ammonia facility owned by Norway's Yara International YAR.OL, as the French firm looks to expand rapidly in green hydrogen.

In a 2019 post, "Anglo-American to Develop 300 Tonne Capacity Fuel Cell Dump Truck"  ENGIE was referred to as "a low-carbon energy service provider". They are that and a bit more. 
Along with Air Liquide and the planets Jupiter and Saturn it can be considered a "gas giant."

And Yara, they've been working the Australian nitrogen angle for years. This post is from 2018:
