Ohmium reiterated that the plant doesn’t just encompass the electrolyser stacks, but it integrates the balance of plant, power distribution and electronics, water treatment, purification and cooling. Additionally, the US-based clean energy technology firm has said standard equipment, such as forklifts, can be used to handle modules, cutting construction costs and making replacements easier. H2 View understands the 29.7 m²/MW figure reflects the electrolyser’s full footprint. For example, a 10MW system would occupy roughly the area of a tennis court, which translates into savings on land, installation, and maintenance, directly lowering the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH). “By integrating a [...]

The Danish company posted revenues of DKK 3.68bn ($532m), down from DKK 4.15bn ($601m) a year earlier, while EBIT before special items dropped to DKK 152m ($22m) from DKK 503m ($73m). However, its energy transition solutions segment, which spans green hydrogen, e-fuels and low-carbon fuel technologies, contributed DKK 839m ($121m), or 23% of revenue, up from DKK 788m ($114m) in 2024. Topsoe has invested DKK 676m ($98m) in clean energy technologies so far in 2025, mostly directed towards its flagship solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) facility in Herning, Denmark, which the company stated is now in the final stage of [...]

Agfa-Gevaert is pressing ahead with the launch of its large-scale alkaline electrolyser membrane plant in Belgium, despite a broader green hydrogen market slowdown. The speciality materials company said its EU-backed Mortsel plant – designed to produce enough Zirfon membranes to support 20GW of electrolysis annually – remains “on track” for opening on 29 September.

Chinese alkaline electrolyser options may prove decisive for Atome’s 145MW green fertiliser project in Paraguay, not just for their low cost but for their proven operational track record at industrial scale, according to the firm’s CEO. Olivier Mussat told H2 View the Villeta project is not shaped by EU politics or subsidies, meaning Atome can conduct full due diligence on global manufacturers and use its shareholder Hy24’s experience to benchmark performance. And from those assessments, Mussat said Chinese electrolysers stand out for one key reason: scale. “The only electrolysers in operation above 100MW are Chinese, and in China,” he said. [...]

Under an eight-week consultation, the government will assess plans to modernise permitting for industry and energy, with hydrogen given as a central example. If a steel mill, cement plant or refinery wants to test hydrogen burners, fuel switching or blending, a “common-sense” trial permit will allow time-limited approvals for hydrogen-based technologies. The consultation also proposes replacing process-by-process approvals with flexible, facility-wide permits based on an overall emissions cap, allowing operators to switch processes to hydrogen without multiple new applications. The Environment Agency (EA) is considering digitalisation and a risk-based system to speed up approvals, which could enable low-risk hydrogen projects [...]

The Queensland government is taking legal action to recoup AUD $66m ($42.8m) of funding from mining major Fortescue after it scrapped a green hydrogen project in the state, according to reports. In July, the firm axed its 50MW green hydrogen project in Gladstone, which had reached final investment decision in 2023, due to it being “no longer needed” to test its self-developed electrolysis technology.

BBVA believes green hydrogen will become a mainstream market for debt financing, but the Managing Director for Low Carbon Advisory at BBVA warned that technology immaturity continues to limit bankability. “The challenge lies in the difficulty of understanding the degree of maturity of each project,” explained Dorian de Kermadec. “[Challenges include] the high price of green hydrogen limiting offtaker appetite, a slowly evolving European regulatory framework, complex contractual arrangements, and projects that often combine multiple technologies requiring sophisticated financing structures.” For now, the Spanish multinational bank sees its role less as a straightforward lender and more as a partner in [...]

Announced in 2023, the project aimed to produce 1.2–1.4 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually, capturing and permanently storing about 95% of emissions from production through carbon capture technologies. However, in a joint statement, the companies said they will shift focus to projects with stronger returns, clearer policy support and greater market potential. “Yara will continue its ammonia strategy as previously communicated, evaluating and maturing equity investment opportunities in US ammonia to determine the optimal project portfolio,” the clean energy specialist said. The change in strategies reflects the economics facing blue ammonia, which was trading at around $552/tonne on the [...]

Backed by the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) under the Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) Competition, the two-week trial involved converting a natural gas furnace to operate flexibly on hydrogen. “It demonstrated that we can adapt our existing infrastructure to run on hydrogen without compromising safety, quality, or performance. It’s a practical step forward in reducing our site’s carbon footprint and preparing for a low-carbon future,” explained Allan Sweeny, Plant Manager at Novelis Latchford. The trial proved hydrogen can be safely used in aluminium recycling, according to the UK firm, giving Novelis confidence it could cut up [...]

As part of the EU-backed H2Haul initiative, the trucks will provide insights for future development. One has been in operation since May, with a second due to be integrated into the group’s logistics planning soon. The vehicle features a fuel cell module developed by OPmobility and VDL Enabling Transport Solutions (ETS) and can carry 40kg of hydrogen split across seven separate cylinders – about the same energy content as 137 litres of diesel, H2 View understands. The seven carbon fibre tanks, each with a 241-litre capacity, store a total of 1,687 litres of compressed hydrogen at 350 bar, with the [...]
