The Humber H2ub project at the German major’s existing Killingholme site is expected to begin operations by 2029. It would supply Phillips 66’s nearby refinery, reducing its Scope 1 operational emissions, and is shortlisted for funding from the government’s second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2). Set to undergo a front-end engineering design study by UK-based ITM Power, it could deploy six of the OEM’s 20MW electrolyser units to produce over 17,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The North Lincolnshire Council approved planning permission for H2ub following an Environmental Impact Assessment and public consultation programme. H2 View understands that power for the [...]

Under a financing agreement, CIMC Enric will fully fund the JV throughout 2026 in exchange for a “higher ownership share” in the CIMC-Hexagon JV. Hexagon said the arrangement would help minimise its cash outflow while retaining operations and a market presence in China. The company has not confirmed what the arrangement would see its stake reduced to, but it will retain the right to acquire its original ownership stake back. Established in 2021, the JV manufactures Type 4 composite hydrogen cylinders, hydrogen fuel storage systems, and distribution modules in China for the Asian market. Hexagon positioned the JV as a [...]

KBR will undertake engineering and economic analysis aimed at finalising the commercial framework for the next phase of development of the project planned at Canadian utility FortisBC’s site in British Columbia. The site could host Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology, which uses natural gas and unprocessed iron as feedstocks to produce 2,500 tonnes of hydrogen and around 9,500 tonnes of graphite annually. The project was first floated in 2024 after Hazer and FortisBC signed a binding project development agreement. In 2025, Hazer and KBR partnered to advance the methane pyrolysis technology under an AUD $3m ($1.9m)-$5m ($3.2m) joint development programme. According [...]

The scheme will offer 15-year per-kilogramme subsidies to green and low-carbon hydrogen producers exclusively supplying industrial use cases where “no economically viable” electrification pathways exist. France will hold three competitive tender rounds to allocate funding. The initial €787m ($908m) round will aim to support 200MW of production. Hydrogen produced using purely renewable power, in line with EU renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules, and low-carbon electricity, like nuclear, will be supported. Competitions Commissioner, Teresa Ribera, said the scheme would help reduce the EU’s fossil fuel dependence. “The aid will support the most cost-effective projects, while minimising distortions of competition [...]

The original equipment manufacturer said the “back-to-back shipments” will be installed at a large-scale green ammonia project, an off-grid solar-to-hydrogen facility, and a green hydrogen project. The primary sale for 160MW of alkaline systems was shipped to ACME Group’s Oman green ammonia project, which will install 320MW of green hydrogen production capacity. China’s Shuangliang International recently provided 80MW worth of systems for the project’s first phase. A further 3MW PEM system for integration with a solar project has been shipped to an unnamed customer in Italy, and a containerised system for a green hydrogen plant to Brazil for natural gas [...]

Clean hydrogen projects with single offtakers are more bankable and less complex to deliver, according to global engineering firm Black & Veatch. The company’s Process Solutions Director, EMEA, Keigh Taylor, told H2 View that projects pooling demand from multiple buyers could face offtake uncertainty.

The 12,000 sq. m. facility in Jiaxing produces the firm’s Type 4 glass fibre pressure gas cylinders, which are used for multi-element gas containers (MEGCs) to transport and store hydrogen. It has the capacity to make up to 20,000 cylinders, trebling the firm’s global production capacity. UAC said the plant will support projects like Hiringa Energy and Sundown Pastoral’s 4,500-tonne green ammonia project in New South Wales, Australia, to supply fertilisers for cotton growing. The firm will supply two 20 ft. and three 40 ft. units to the project, following on from MEGC deployments at Hiringa hydrogen refuelling stations in [...]

Electrolytic hydrogen projects bidding in the third European Hydrogen Bank auction remain overwhelmingly focused on producing fuels that comply with renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules. The European Commission said the third auction attracted 58 bids requesting €8.4bn ($9.7bn) – around six times the €1.3bn ($1.5bn) budget. The funding call, opened in December, represents around 4.3GW of electrolyser capacity. This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

German firms Ionysis and EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies, alongside Slovenia’s ReCatalyst, said the short-stack had been assembled “exclusively” with PFAS-free components, including the membrane, electrode ionomers, and gas diffusion layer. It was developed under a project called Enabler, which received €2.5m ($2.9m) in EIC funding. ReCatalayst supplied the catalysts, while Ionoysis provided catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs). EKPO was responsible for assembling and operating the stack. During single-cell testing, the trio said the CCMs achieved current densities of up to 2A/cm2 at 0.65V, which the firms say is “on-par” with “state-of-the-art PFSA-based reference cells.” Stefan Dwenger, Managing Director of EKPO, said that [...]
