H2-View News: Linde receives 35MW Accelera electrolysers for Niagara Falls hydrogen plant
The 35MW system will produce green hydrogen using hydroelectric power at the site of Linde’s existing grey hydrogen production facility, using existing liquefaction and distribution infrastructure to meet merchant demand. The plant, which was touted to double the industrial gas major’s US green liquid hydrogen production capacity, has been in the works since 2022 and is slated to start up in 2025. Accelera’s General Manager – Electrolysers, Des McMenamim, said the system delivery was a “significant milestone” for the firm. “This project demonstrates our ability to deliver large-scale, reliable solutions that enable our customers to produce green hydrogen on a [...]
H2-View News: Daimler GenH2 hydrogen trucks surpass 225,000km in customer trials
Tested by Amazon, Air Products, Holcim, Ineos Inovyn and Wiedmann & Winz, the trucks ran daily logistics routes with ranges beyond 1,000km and refuelling times of just 10–15 minutes. Manufacturer Daimler said the performance matched diesel, minus the emissions. Across the trials, the vehicles consumed between 5.6-8kg of hydrogen per 100km, refuelling 285 times with a total of 15 tonnes of liquid hydrogen at stations in Woerth and Duisburg, Germany. Daimler said the fuel use compares with around 58,000 litres of diesel and 154 tonnes of CO2 for the same distance. “All these practical experiences help us to optimally prepare [...]
H2-View News: Everfuel secures RFNBO certification for 20MW HySynergy plant
The certification confirms that Everfuel’s production volumes meet environmental and traceability criteria under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directives (RED II and RED III). The energy firm can now supply certified hydrogen in Denmark, Germany and northern Europe, putting Everfuel ahead of numerous European peers as demand for certified hydrogen ramps up. From 2026, RFNBO quotas for industry and transport kick in. Under the RFNBO rules, designed to ensure only green electricity is used in production, electrolyser operators must source power from new renewable energy assets located in the same grid region and match operation on an hourly basis from 2028. [...]
H2-View News: SOEC electrolysis ‘transformative’ for the cost of green ammonia: Ceres
Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology is reportedly 30% more efficient than PEM and alkaline technologies according to Ceres, but true cost competitiveness could be realised at large-scale green ammonia plants. Chandra Macauley, Ceres’ Principal Product Applications Specialist, claimed the company’s technology will be “transformative” for the cost of hydrogen-based ammonia.

H2-View News: Lhyfe supplies Essent with green hydrogen for Bosch boiler testing
The hydrogen was delivered as part of the GROHW project, a collaboration between the Netherlands’ largest energy supplier Essent, Nefit Bosch, Firan, and Witteveen+Bos. The initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the Netherlands, and marks one of the first implemented green hydrogen projects in the country. With Lhyfe supplying the fuel, Essent operates the Deventer hydrogen station, Firan and Witteveen+Bos provide infrastructure expertise, while Bosch is testing boilers ahead of a planned H2-ready combi model by 2029. Although the French producer did not disclose volumes, the hydrogen was delivered to Overijssel in 40-foot containers. In 2024, the company made more [...]
H2-View News: UK and others move on hydrogen floating power hubs
Off-grid power hubs could in theory cut emissions from port operations and accelerate the UK’s transition to Net Zero. Workstreams include the development of a low-pressure nanoporous hydrogen storage module (Rux Energy); integration of the hydrogen balance of plant and power conversion systems (Ricardo); design of complex AC/DC electrical architectures with renewable integration (Schneider Electric, University of Strathclyde); platform naval architecture and hydrodynamic testing (University of Strathclyde, Elire); anchoring and mooring (Triton Anchor Europe); and transportation, installation and operational strategy (Sealand Projects). The feasibility period will run from 13 September to 31 March 2026. The challenges Hydrogen floating power hubs [...]
H2-View News: No redistribution of HAR1 support after project withdrawal
The UK government will not reallocate funding from hydrogen projects awarded support under its first subsidy scheme if they fail to proceed, H2 View understands. The clarification follows Scottish Power’s decision to pause development of its UK green hydrogen projects, including two that had been selected under the first Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1).

H2-View News: SGN repurposes 30km of UK LTS pipeline to carry hydrogen
The initial repurposed section in Scotland, dubbed LTS Futures, is expected to serve as a blueprint for the 11,600km LTS network. SGN said the successful conversion of the LTS to hydrogen would result in a low-disruption, resilient backbone for a Net Zero energy system. The tests analysed whether operational techniques used for natural gas transportation, such as welding and flow stopping, can be safely applied on live hydrogen pipelines. Hydrogen was sourced from Ineos Grangemouth, Scotland’s largest industrial complex, where it is produced as a by-product of chemical operations. Tony Green, SGN Chief Strategy and Regulation Officer, claimed the LTS [...]
H2-View News: Consultation opens on joint German-Australia hydrogen trade auction
The tender, originally announced in September 2024, will see both nations commit €400m ($464.6m) to the scheme, which could see Australian producers export volumes of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol to Europe. Aimed to support the development of green hydrogen projects, the double-sided auction will see German-funded investment vehicle Hintco purchase hydrogen through long-term contracts and resell it to the highest bidder. The auction’s opening date is proposed for the first half of 2026, with production support planned to run FY2028-29 through FY2037-38. Now, the Australian government is asking for feedback on the tender’s design, with a consultation [...]
H2-View News: Thyssenkrupp Nucera finalises Green Hydrogen Systems asset acquisition
The German OEM confirmed in June that it would buy GHS’ 35-bar A- and X-Series technology and a test facility in Skive, Denmark, amid court-led administration following cash flow struggles and failed restructuring efforts. The transaction was finalised today (September 2) following receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals and administrator consent. H2 View understands that the undisclosed purchase price was entirely settled from Thyssenkrupp Nucera’s “available liquid funds.” “With this acquisition, Thyssenkrupp Nucera strategically strengthens its positioning in the field of alkaline water electrolysis, now additionally also focusing on pressurised solutions,” it said in a statement. “The technology enables highly [...]
