The project’s onshore hydrogen plant will now be at least 500MW, down from 1GW, and its offshore solar commitment reduced to 6MW The IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm, which will supply power to the project, will also now be built in two phases: 1GW coming online in 2029 and the remaining 1GW in 2032, after the delayed Delta Rhine Corridor (DRC) hydrogen pipeline is completed. Zeevonk, the joint venture developing the project, said the original plans are no longer financially or economically viable under the current permit because of the DRC delay, which was originally slated for commissioning in [...]

Located at the Maxam chemical plant in Uzbekistan’s capital, the facility uses four alkaline electrolyser units with a combined capacity of 20MW, together producing around 3,150 tonnes of hydrogen per year. Representing PowerChina’s first overseas green hydrogen venture, the production plant is replacing grey hydrogen currently used at the Maxam site, cutting around 30,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. “The project represents a key milestone in advancing green, low-carbon energy transformation across central Asia and beyond,” PowerChina said in a statement. The initiative also reflects China’s growing global hydrogen ambitions. In May 2024, the Hydrogen Council reported that the country [...]

US hydrogen refuelling firm has acquired over 100 fuel trucks, parts, software, and IP from the bankrupt zero-emission truck maker Nikola. The Texan firm said the acquisition included 113 Tre hydrogen fuel cell trucks, which will be deployed primarily in California, where it is developing its first hydrogen refuelling stations.

Starting in early 2026, the demonstrator will produce high-efficiency green hydrogen for low-carbon ammonia synthesis, using waste heat from the Haber–Bosch process to power the SOEC in a closed-loop system. Hynfra CEO Tomoho Umeda said operating at 700–900°C enables the capture and reuse of heat from ammonia synthesis, delivering high efficiencies. Under the MOU, the partners also plan to build a larger SOEC-based, megawatt-scale hydrogen facility to supply green hydrogen to industrial chemical and fertiliser plants worldwide. Umeda said, “This is a decisive step toward making green hydrogen a practical, scalable solution for the chemical and fertiliser industries, while keeping [...]

Industry experts are divided over the role of hydrogen blending, raising questions over whether it’s a pragmatic enabler of early investment or a costly distraction from dedicated infrastructure. Last month, the UK government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) launched a consultation to assess the benefits and risks of allowing up to 2% hydrogen blending into the National Transmission System (NTS). And while DESNZ sees blending as an “offtaker of last resort” to help manage grid constraints and derisk hydrogen investment, Lhyfe’s Boris Davis said during a H2 View webinar that the strategy offers clear short-term value. This [...]

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with United Engineering Services (UES) sets the stage for Sungrow to manufacture and assemble its electrolysers, gas separation, and purification systems in the Sultanate. While the intended factory’s output has not been disclosed, the systems produced in Oman will be aimed at meeting local demand as well as export markets. Sungrow currently makes both alkaline and PEM systems. Oman has looked to establish itself as a key green hydrogen producer and exporter, with its state-backed company Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) allocating land for eight projects with a combined 1.2 million tonnes of annual capacity. It [...]

The German facility, which was launched in 2015, has been using wind power to produce green hydrogen. Linde claimed it was the first large-scale project to use excess renewable energy and convert it into hydrogen. Under the extension agreement, the partners plan to develop Mainz Energy Park 2.0 on the same site, replacing the decade-old Siemens PEM electrolysers with modern units delivering 5MW of capacity, H2 View understands. The existing hydrogen refuelling station will also be upgraded. The whole project will reportedly be supported with €2.5m ($2.9m) from the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMV). The two companies [...]

The loan, the first RMB-syndicated term loan of its kind by an Australian corporate, was secured from leading Chinese, Australian and international lenders. It has been awarded in order to get Fortescue’s decarbonisation agenda back on track. Fortescue is a core supplier of iron ore to China and generates RMB revenues through its iron ore sales. Dr Andrew Forrest, Executive Chairman, said while the US steps back from investing “in what will be the world’s greatest industry”, China and Fortescue are advancing the green technology needed to lead the global green industrial revolution. “China continues to lead the world in [...]

H2 View understands the partners plan to produce hydrogen via methanol reforming, using green methanol made from CO2 and waste to decarbonise the process. Leveraging Fuji Electric’s fuel cell expertise, the system could provide backup power for data centres and factories in Japan, helping to ease peak electricity demand if brought to market. The current study aims to begin the demonstration by March 2027. “The goal is to combine two companies’ technologies and expertise to create a fuel cell system that efficiently and cost-effectively generates electricity using methanol-derived hydrogen,” Mitsubishi said in a statement. “The envisioned system will use green [...]

The new station will provide up to 1,000kg of green hydrogen per day with 350 and 700 bar dispensing to supply heavy and light-duty vehicles. While the station will add to Tyckza’s existing refuelling infrastructure in Augsburg, it will form the first element of a wider hydrogen hub, which will feature a 5MW electrolyser plant and hydrogen trailer fleet to meet demand outside of mobility. Tyczka said the hub will represent over €20m ($23.3m) of investment, with commissioning of the production capacity expected to start at the end of 2026. The Bavarian state is backing the entire project with €7m [...]
