The FEED for the 10 tonne-per-day Rjukan facility will cover integrating Nel’s pressurised electrolyser stacks with a hydrogen liquification unit ahead of moving into construction. Norwegian’s took final investment decision on the plant in 2025 after acquiring it from the now liquidated developer Aker Horizons. The company expects to begin commercial operations in 2027. Worley’s work will include equipment and infrastructure related to power supply, water connection, and hydrogen delivery. In parallel with the FEED, Worely has said it will develop an EPC execution plan, with the EPC phase expected to start later this year. A portion of liquid hydrogen [...]

The transmission system operators (TSOs) aim to complete the connection by 2030 using repurposed natural gas pipelines at the border between the Belgian Antwerp province and the Dutch Zeeland province. This interlinking location already hosts multidirectional gas transport to industrial clusters, including the North Sea Port and Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and the ports of Antwerp and Ghent in Belgium. Fluxys is Belgium’s hydrogen network operator with plans to initially connect import facilities at the major ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge, before building a wider interconnected network integrating local producers by 2035. Meanwhile, Gasunie plans to build a [...]

Northern Europe Energy Group (Northern), Securing Energy for Europe (SEFE), and the Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at supplying green hydrogen from the Nordic-Baltic region to Germany. BHC is a consortium made up of network operators Gasgrid Finland and Gascade Gastransport, as well as Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ offshore energy subsidiary. The value chain would primarily use Northern’s planned 100-000 tonne-per-year green hydrogen plant in Liepaja, Latvia, scheduled for production by 2030, alongside the firm’s three other projects in the wider region. German state-owned energy trader SEFE would buy and resell the green hydrogen, [...]

According to ABF, the project, which is due to reach final investment decision (FID) in late 2026, could incorporate as much as 4.45GW of renewable energy systems, powering 2.4GW of electrolysers secured from Plug Power in late 2025. It would produce a combined 417,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and eSAF – as well as 5,000 tonnes of green diesel – using feedstock of biogenic captured carbon dioxide, and almost 6,000 tonnes per day of biomass. The PIA, secured alongside the Khorezm region’s government, is underpinned by a Presidential Decree from the Republic of Uzbekistan and, in recognition of [...]

The grant will be allocated to hydrogen refuelling firm HVR, which plans to install 75 refuelling stations across Europe’s Trans-European Transport Network before 2030. HVR’s Activa platform is designed to be installed at existing refuelling sites and can dispense hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar for both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles. Specific locations for the 30 units remain undisclosed. This latest funding follows a €7m ($8.2m) investment in HVR’s plans by ICO last year for 20 Activa units. In February, HVR signed an agreement with the Spanish Confederation of Service Station Business Owners outlining plans to advance the project. Europe [...]

The 190 metre ships are equipped with HHI’s high-pressure ammonia direct injection engine – known as the HiMSEN Ammonia Dual Fuel Engine – which secured class approvals in 2024. The two ships, named Antwerpen and Arlon, are the first in a production run of four commissioned for Exmar LPG France in 2023 and 2024. They are set to be delivered to the shipowner in May and July, respectively. HHI’s propulsion system compresses air in its combustion chamber, then burns it by injecting ammonia at high pressures. The combustion is ignited using conventional marine fuel. Under dual fuel operation, marine engines [...]

The programme comes under AFDB’s Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa, which was financed by the German government, and will offer three to five selected projects pre-investment financing up to $20m in reimbursable grants. The funds will support activities such as feasibility and engineering design studies to help projects reach final investment decision. An online application window begins on April 10 and will stay open for a month. Dr Daniel Schroth, Director of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Department at ADDB, said the initiative is designed to transition projects on the continent from development to bankability. “Green hydrogen represents a [...]

Following trials using a 20kW solid oxide electrolyser, Schneider said the control solution continuously monitored and adjusted the system for an operating period of over 6,000 hours, reducing stack wear and improving energy efficiency by 10%. The AI software – which uses Microsoft Azure AI Foundry to automate engineering tasks such as managing thermal balance, hydrogen flow, and energy inputs – was integrated into a system from Indian clean technology developer, H2E Power. Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric, said the trial represents a migration path towards software-defined automation performing under real-world industrial conditions. While the [...]

The new configuration – consisting of seven connected 500bar carbon-fibre hydrogen tanks – makes for a flat fuel storage system that, unlike in older fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) models, does not intrude into the rear cargo area and cut storage space. Capable of holding 7kg of gaseous hydrogen, BMW said the arrangement will improve the vehicle’s range up to 750km from approximately 500km. It is slated to simultaneously bolster BMW’s capacity for constructing the vehicles, enabling their construction on the same production line as other drive types. Dr Joachim Post, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, [...]

The first three months of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) have begun to clarify its real impact: stabilising carbon price signals, reshaping ammonia trade flows, and supporting the business case for carbon capture in export markets. For the hydrogen sector, the mechanism is emerging as a key determinant of where production is located, and in what form it is traded. CBAM came into force on 1 January this year, covering hydrogen, electricity, fertilisers, aluminium, iron and steel, and cement. It applies a carbon price to imported goods.
