The remaining €5m ($5.79m) is due under the €7.1m ($8.22m) contract and is expected to be paid in subsequent project milestones, which in similar projects typically include manufacturing progress, shipment, commissioning and testing. Chinese electrolyser OEM Peric Hydrogen Technology will provide the electrolyser technology, while Metacon will deliver the packaged system, auxiliary equipment, and manage delivery to Elektra. No start-up date has been set for the project, but it is unlikely to be Romania’s first green hydrogen plant. A 2.5MW facility in Cluj-Napoca, announced last February, aims to produce one tonne of hydrogen per day and is slated for late [...]

While the $5.3bn initiative hasn’t been fully approved, the Ministry of Environment confirmed that the site is environmentally acceptable. HIF will move into the full environmental permitting stage. This will include an Environmental Prior Authorisation (AAP) to proceed with the project, and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which includes a detailed study covering air, water, ecosystems, noise, waste, land use, and social and cultural impacts. The government classified the Paysandú plans as “high complexity,” meaning HIF must undergo the most rigorous form of review involving multiple agencies. Nevertheless, CEO Martin Bremermann called the approval a “key milestone in the environmental [...]

BZI has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Nova Re Suria (NRES), a Malaysian energy and project developer, for an undisclosed investment amount. Located in Paka, the plant will feature 200MW of alkaline electrolyser capacity, powered by grid-supplied renewable energy, and is expected to produce almost 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year at full capacity. China Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy (GUOFUHEE)) will support the promotion and global distribution of green hydrogen and its derivatives. PGH2P’s project partners aim to supply both domestic industrial users and international buyers. Additionally, China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) has been appointed for the engineering, [...]

Awarded via the Swedish Energy Agency’s Industrial Leap programme, the authority said the support would increase the green steel startup’s chances of securing additional capital. The latest award brings Stegra’s total Swedish grants to around €137m ($150m) – less than the €265m ($292m) package previously approved by the European Commission. The Swedish Energy Agency added that further support is conditional on Stegra demonstrating full project financing by spring 2026. Stegra has secured €6.5bn ($7.15bn) in loans and equity for the plant and recently launched a €975m ($1.07bn) financing round to cover rising costs and replace state aid that has yet [...]

The Kawasaki LH2 Terminal in Ogishima will be equipped with a 50,000m3 liquid hydrogen storage tank, which the pair claim will be the “world’s largest”, along with maritime cargo handling, liquefaction, and lorry dispatch facilities. © KHI It is planned as an import and bunkering site for liquid hydrogen from 2030 onwards to import hydrogen into Japan for onward distribution to domestic consumers. JSE, which is owned by KHI, Iwatani Corporation, and other Japanese investors, will manage the project, while a KHI joint venture will be the main design and construction contractor. In addition to the terminal, the duo plan [...]

The Xcient fuel cell truck fleet was sent from the Port of Gunsan in South Korea yesterday. Once in Montevideo, they will operate in the Kahirós project, which will provide green hydrogen fuel for local trucks. Hyundai fuel cell truck distributor Fidocar is part of the consortium establishing the initiative, which includes the development of a 2MW green hydrogen plant in 2026. Being used to transport timber, each of Hyundai’s vehicles can travel more than 720km on 31kg of hydrogen storage. The automotive major said this was enough “to complete a full timber transport cycle on a single charge.” Hyundai’s [...]

After taking a majority stake in Italy’s PotisEdge, Longi says it aims to become an integrated “solar-storage-hydrogen energy solutions provider.” Technical details remain unclear, but the Chinese firm has suggested it will develop “closed loop” systems by combining its solar PV and alkaline electrolyser technologies with PotisEdge’s BESS. “Solar is the creator of clean energy, energy storage is the stabiliser of the power system, and hydrogen is the regulator that balances it all,” said Longi Vice-President Dennis She. PotisEdge makes battery-based storage systems for residential, commercial, and grid-level applications, as well as energy management systems. Longi claimed this will provide [...]

Under the strategy, solar provides cheap generation, batteries will handle short-term balancing, while hydrogen acts as the long-duration regulator that stabilises the wider energy system. “Solar is the creator of clean energy, energy storage is the stabiliser of the power system, and hydrogen is the regulator that balances it all,” explained Dennis She, Longi’s Vice President. Longi’s new utility-scale battery energy storage product will sit alongside its existing alkaline electrolyser range.  The turnkey lithium-ion solution is aimed at developers and utilities. The company said the system is designed to help electrolysers operate more efficiently and flexibly when paired with renewable [...]

Abdullah Hashim Industrial Gases & Equipment Co. (AHG) plans to build the gas production and distribution facility in Oxagon’s industrial quarter, and eyes starting early operations in late 2026. The phased development will see ground broken in February next year, with subsequent phases due to start in 2028. AHG has not announced the plant’s planned capacity or output. It comes as Neom anticipates growing industrial gas demand from future manufacturing bases that will be set up within the futuristic industrial city. The pair say the plant will reduce reliance on long-distance gas imports, minimise supply chain disruptions, and cut emissions [...]
