H2-View News: Pexapark to provide renewable energy prices for Mibgas’ Iberian hydrogen price index
Under the new partnership, Pexapark will act as the official provider of benchmark power purchase agreement (PPA) pricing data for solar and wind in Spain and Portugal. The data will feed directly into the calculation of the IBHYX index, which reflects the levelised cost of green hydrogen production in the region. Renewable electricity is the most significant cost driver for green hydrogen – making Pexapark’s market-based pricing, built on 1,000+ monthly data points from real PPA deals, vital for a credible index. “While offtake deals for green hydrogen, methanol, and other derivatives remain rare across Europe, these fuels will ultimately [...]

H2-View News: Doosan Fuel Cell cancels $273m hydrogen fuel cell contract: reports
Doosan reportedly agreed to terminate its 110MW fuel cell system supply contract signed with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Engineering, Kumho Technology and LS Electric, due to prolonged delays in receiving the notice to proceed. However, the South Korean firm said there would be no financial impact on the company as the contract did not involve any advance payments or deposits and had not been reflected in their order backlog or financial statements. The company extended the disclosure deferral period until the end of March after the project had not progressed since 2022. Although, since the contract was terminated before [...]
H2-View News: Bosch and Dark Matter Materials make bold claims at Hannover Messe
Technical opportunities and challenges have been the focus of the hydrogen and fuel cells Europe technical forum at Hannover Messe 2025 today. German manufacturer Robert Bosch has also been firmly in the news at the event, after announcing 100MW in orders for its 1.25MW PEM Hybrion electrolyser stacks, set to be manufactured at its Bamberg facility.

H2-View News: Argus launches EULAB index to track blue ammonia prices in Europe
The Argus EU Low-Carbon Ammonia Benchmark (EULAB) will track the true cost of delivering blue ammonia to the ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp. This can help companies manage price risks and compare costs from different sources. The EULAB index reflects the cost of blue hydrogen-derived ammonia, produced in the US Gulf Coast using natural gas with carbon capture and storage and shipped to Europe. Argus highlighted sharp price swings in blue ammonia over the past year, with values fluctuating by 65%. In February alone, prices swung by €269 ($290) per tonne – underscoring the difficulty for companies to confirm [...]
H2-View News: Hydnum to supply 100,000 tpa of hydrogen-based steel to Thyssenkrupp in seven-year deal
Under a seven-year deal, green steel from Hydnum will power Thyssenkrupp’s push to decarbonise supply chains across automotive, construction and appliances – being one of the world’s top mill-independent materials distributors and service providers. By partnering with Hydnum Steel, the German energy firm can expand its offering of sustainable steel and meet rising customer demand for greener materials. “Interest in clean steel is growing rapidly,” explained Marcus Wöhl, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Materials Processing. “We need partners like Hydnum to offer solutions that combine sustainability and innovation.” The seven-year supply agreement will begin once the Puertollano plant is operational. Last July, [...]
H2-View News: CfD scheme unsuitable for early hydrogen market, Hydrogen UK conference hears
The UK’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) funding model is unfit for a nascent hydrogen market and risks missed opportunities, the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference has heard, with further concerns that policy gaps could derail the country’s 2030 10GW target. Denis Thomas – the company’s Global Marketing Director for electrolysers – told the event that the US electrolyser maker sees the UK as an “attractive market.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.
H2-View News: No more than 24% of UK hydrogen projects likely by 2030: Westwood
Just 1-24% of the UK’s hydrogen project pipeline is expected to materialise by 2030, according to research from Westwood Global Energy. Westwood’s latest whitepaper exposes major shortfalls in UK policy, funding, and demand-side support, warning that 2030 targets are at risk without swift and coordinated action.

H2-View News: Tsuneishi launches hydrogen dual-fuel-powered tugboat built with green steel
The vessel features twin 12-cylinder hydrogen-blended internal combustion engines (ICE) and a storage capacity of approximately 250kg of high-pressure hydrogen gas. If the hydrogen systems fail, the tugboat can operate with only traditional marine fuels too. JFE Steel Corporation supplied its JGreeX green steel for the vessel’s hull—while not hydrogen-based, the steel is produced using a mass balance approach to achieve significantly reduced CO₂ emissions. The vessel was developed and built under the Nippon Foundation’s “Zero Emission Ships Project,” which aims to deliver vessels with zero CO2 emissions. “We will utilise the know-how and design processes we have developed in [...]
