H2-View News: Clyde Hydrogen ‘successfully’ produces hydrogen from decoupled electrolysis prototype
Clyde’s beta technology uses decoupled electrolysis – splitting water into two stages with an electrochemical reduction and catalytic generator – to flexibly produce high-pressure hydrogen, even when renewable power isn’t available. At its headquarters, the University of Glasgow’s School of Chemistry spinout said it “successfully” ran the beta version of its system to produce hydrogen at >100 bar continuously, although it was still under manual control. A full pilot system is now expected later this year, and a commercial demonstration system is planned for 2027. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with PlusZero, Clyde agreed to showcase its electrolyser technology outside [...]
H2-View News: Chinese and Spanish electrolyser manufacturers secure funding to build factories in Chile
Hygreen has been selected alongside Spanish and Chinese electrolyser producers Joletech Solutions and Guofu to receive a share of a $25.6m funding package. Chilean development agency Corfo believes the three projects could collectively attract more than $50m in additional investment. Two of the three electrolyser plants will be built in the Biobío region, and the third in the Metropolitan region. Hygreen’s BioBío H2V project in particular will reportedly assemble alkaline electrolysers with 2.5MW and 5MW capacities. Construction and implementation of the BioBío factory will be executed in multiple phases over five years, with operations expected to begin in 2026. Hygreen’s [...]
H2-View News: London Heathrow closure puts spotlight on sustainability and back-up power
The first projects from state-owned GB Energy were expected to grab the headlines, including £10m of ‘metro partnerships’ to build clean power across the country. But the story was pushed down the agenda by a fire that has closed London’s Heathrow Airport and impacted 62,000 customers directly, alongside the travel plans of millions around the world. Fires can happen anytime and anywhere, but quite why an electricity substation blaze close to the airport premises should bring the UK’s leading airport to a halt will be a subject of investigation. It raises questions around back-up power, energy storage and “infrastructure resilience” [...]
H2-View News: Turn2X claims Europe’s first mass-balanced hydrogen-based RNG transport
Turn2X produced the RNG – made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ – at its Miajadas plant in Spain. The gas was injected into the existing natural gas grid and transported under the EU’s mass balance system to Boffzen-based glassmaker Noelle + von Campe. The system allows for tracking and trading of renewable and low-carbon gases through existing gas infrastructure – even when the renewable gas is physically indistinguishable from fossil gas after the injection. In this case, Noelle + von Campe can claim the use of the RNG, despite withdrawing physically mixed gases because the volumes match and are [...]
H2-View News: HyIron’s Namibia plant produces first hydrogen ahead of green iron production
Powered entirely by solar energy, HyIron’s Oshivela plant is set to begin producing green hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) within the next month, targeting an initial output of 15,000 tonnes per year – with ambitions to scale up to two million tonnes annually by 2030. “We’re now in the process of gradually ramping up the electrolyser to full capacity, which will soon form the foundation for producing iron with zero emissions,” the company stated. The plant runs exclusively during daylight hours, backed by a 25MW solar farm and 13.4MW of battery storage. German metals firm Benteler has already signed a [...]
H2-View News: Canada backs HTEC’s $472m hydrogen liquefier project in British Columbia
On March 19, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Anita Anand, announced a $49m investment in HTEC through the Strategic Innovation Fund to support the company’s $472m project. The project is being developed under HTEC’s H2 Gateway programme, and it will capture and liquefy 15 tonnes per day of industrial by-product hydrogen in North Vancouver, turning waste into clean fuel. The H2 Gateway programme plans the development of up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, three hydrogen production facilities and a fleet of 100 hydrogen heavy-duty fuel cell electric (FCEV) trucks. HTEC has stated the North Vancouver project will be [...]
H2-View News: Adani wins $324m transmission contract for Indian green hydrogen and ammonia facility
The project, due to be delivered within three years, will supply green electrons for the production of both gases in Mundra. It involves upgrading the Navinal electrical substation by adding two large 765/400kV transformers and building a 75km 765kV double-circuit line to connect the substation to the Bhuj substation. The project will add 150 circuit kilometres of transmission lines and 3,000 MVA of transformation capacity to the company’s portfolio. India is targeting five million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030. The Indian government recently awarded three-year subsidy payments to nine companies for green hydrogen production projects, with AM Green Ammonia [...]
H2-View News: Ceres logs record hydrogen tech order but CEO issues cautious 2025 outlook
UK solid oxide hydrogen tech licensor Ceres has posted record order intakes of £112.8m ($146m) thanks to major Asian deals in 2024. But speaking to H2 View, CEO Phil Caldwell offered a more grounded assessment. The firm’s revenues increased by 132% to £51.9m ($67m) in 2024, thanks to licensing deals with Taiwan’s Delta Electronics and Japan’s Denso, as well as an electrolyser system partnership with Thermax. Gross profit also jumped £26.6m ($34.4m) to £40m ($51.8m). 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: UK waste-to-energy, hydrogen, carbon capture plans approved
The North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park (NLGEP) secured a Development Consent Order (DCO) for its plans to process up to 760,000 tonnes of waste per year to generate 95MWe of electricity, which will be used to power electrolysis and homes in the area. Hydrogen will be produced by a 10MW electrolyser system using water from the waste condensate collected from the CO2 capture. The developers intend to set up a hydrogen refuelling station at the site, as well as potentially supplying the energy carrier for industrial processes or gas grid blending. The up to 650,000 tonnes of CO2 per year [...]
H2-View News: UK fuel swtiching trial ‘successfully’ uses hydrogen to fire ceramic products
Being carried out by Ceramics UK, Glass Futures, and Ryze, the trial’s pilot kiln fired 100% hydrogen to provide insights into the impact of hydrogen on ceramic products. In an online statement, Ryze Power claimed the findings “further support the case for hydrogen as a viable alternative for direct combustion processes where electrification is currently not an option.” The trial was backed by the UK Government Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) programme. Ryze’s Power Sales Director, Alex Webster, said it’s vital to provide a range of alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, across the UK to “transition to Net Zero as soon [...]
