H2 Energy Group

Agricultural cooperative Central Farm Service (CFS), agriculture technology firm TalusAG, and clean energy tracking organisation CleanCounts, say the project could supply CFS member owners through two modular ammonia systems made by Talus. These systems are positioned as a way to localise ammonia production to avoid fertiliser price fluctuations linked to natural gas prices. The trio is banking on support from the state to deliver the first local commercial production facilities supplying fertiliser for 100,000 acres of farmland. Talus says its Talus10 systems will deliver ammonia at or near the point of end-use from power, water, and air. H2 View understands [...]

The funding forms part of the firm’s €14bn ($16.2bn) 2026–2030 investment plan, which also includes spending on energy efficiency, biomethane, carbon capture, as well as expansion and upgrades to fossil fuel infrastructure. The €200m is related to Snam Rete Gas’ Italian Hydrogen Backbone project, which was awarded project of common interest status by the EU to streamline permitting. It would establish a 1,900km hydrogen transportation network – around 60% converted natural gas infrastructure – across Italy. The pipeline is also planned to feed into the broader SoutH2 Corridor, which aims to connect low-cost hydrogen production in North Africa with Italy, [...]

The consortium will explore meeting future green hydrogen demand from Japanese industry with molecules produced in New Zealand. Mitsui OSK Lines, Obayashi Corporation, Chiyoda Corporation, and Kawasaki, said New Zealand’s renewable energy resources and strong trade relationship, as well as Japan’s own low energy self-sufficiency, are drivers for establishing the corridor. In a statement, the consortium said that “the initiative aims for New Zealand to become a leading green hydrogen supply hub for Japan, contributing to carbon neutrality in Japan”. In January 2025, Obayashi exported the first green hydrogen from New Zealand to a demonstration facility at Lautoka Port in [...]

Castellón Green Hydrogen SL said the project, being constructed at BP’s Castellón refinery, had reached 90% assembly completion, with 100% of equipment now on site. This includes the 25MW Plug Power PEM electrolyser system. The JV stated that it will commence testing in May to monitor the operation and performance of the plant. The €70M ($81.2m) project, equally owned by the British oil firm and the Spanish power company, will produce up to 2,800 tonnes of green hydrogen per year to displace grey hydrogen already used in the refinery. Having received a €15m ($17.4m) Spanish subsidy, the plant will be [...]

Green Gecko, which has been identifying prospects for PHE’s technology, will act as its agent for projects in Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman. According to PHE, Green Gecko has identified sites in the region where its high-temperature pyrolysis (HTP) technology could be used for processing tyres, elastomers, and polymers into clean energy products. The company says that its system can convert non-recyclable waste into syngas, which can be purified into hydrogen or used as a feedstock in other technologies. Paul Emmitt, PHE CEO, said the agreement strengthens the firm’s position in the MENA market. “We look forward to working with [...]

The independent energy and assurance firm said cost remains the “fundamental difficulty” limiting hydrogen production in the country. It also said carbon capture and storage (CCS) faces similar cost barriers. DNV shared its thoughts in its annual Energy Transition Outlook briefing, on which Hari Vamadevan, Senior Vice-President of DNV, said both markets have seen a downward trend, despite the technology being largely ready for deployment. “I think the technology is there. It’s got everything to do with cost,” he noted. DNV forecasts UK hydrogen production reaching 750,000 tonnes per year by 2030, far below the government’s ambition to deploy 10GW of hydrogen [...]

The project, which stretches across central Norway, aims to establish a fully integrated value chain covering production, distribution, storage, and diverse end-use. Dubbed NorHyWay, it is led by research institutes, Sintef and Hydrogeni, and Renergy, a renewable energy cluster based in the city of Trondheim. 16 industrial partners in energy, transport, logistics, technology, and the maritime sector are also involved. By linking some of the country’s hydrogen initiatives, it aims to produce and use 37,081 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2035 to potentially cut 345,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. The Renergy cluster said hydrogen facilities run by its member, [...]

The group said the focus on “Made in Europe” criteria for hydrogen technologies, including electrolysers, was welcome but that the scope had been reduced compared with earlier drafts. This includes electrolysers of “Union origin”, which the Commission defines as covering the EU and European Free Trade Association countries — Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Hydrogen Europe argues this would exclude countries like Canada, Japan, the UK, the US, and South Korea. The Commission said the measure would support domestic manufacturing in the face of growing competition from China. However, Hydrogen Europe’s primary criticism focused on the Commission’s lead market proposals, [...]

Backers of the regulation said the framework’s implementation would provide alignment on emissions and strengthen investment signals for new fuels and technologies. This comes after the IMO postponed an October 2025 vote on the framework, which was widely expected to unlock demand for green hydrogen-based fuels like ammonia and e-methanol. 57 countries voted in favour of the delay, 49 opposed, and 21 abstained. First approved in draft form in April 2025, it would impose a carbon levy on ships above 5,000 tonnes from 2028. The call to action said the net-zero framework represents a “hard-fought compromise” needed to accelerate Net [...]

Roeland Baan, who was due to step down at the end of May, will make way for Elena Scaltritti as the new President and CEO from Thursday (5 March), after the “satisfactory” results. Topsoe said the fast-tracked transition came at Baan’s own request. “This alignment on the strategic direction and planning between the Board of Directors, our owners, senior management, and the wider organisation is clear and decisive, making it possible to execute a transition faster than planned,” he said. Baan has held the role since 2020 and oversaw the company’s transition from Haldor Topsoe as it increased its focus [...]
