Under the draft terms and conditions for the Innovation Fund auction, eligibility has been expanded to include RFNBO and electrolytic hydrogen that does not exclusively use renewable power. These molecules will need to have  70% lower greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels, under the EU’s recently adopted criteria for low-carbon hydrogen. It comes as the first time that the bloc will subsidise non-RFNBO clean hydrogen, following pressure from industry to provide relaxed rules to ease project development and lower costs. Under the RFNBO rules, designed to ensure only green electricity is used in production, electrolyser operators must source power from [...]

The embattled technology firm supplied the PEM system for the Baseload Power Hub (BLPH), which is connected to the Hollandse Kust Noord (HKN) offshore wind farm. First ordered in 2023, the module underwent a 17-week commissioning phase and was completed ahead of the platform’s planned sail-away next month. Parent company GTT Group has been conducting a strategic review of its subsidiary Elogen, though no update on the company’s future has been issued since February 2025. Elogen’s CEO stepped down following a €33m EBITDA loss for the 2024 financial year. The company also announced that construction of its electrolyser gigafactory has [...]

According to reports, the city will trial hydrogen-powered public transport operations and explore the development of a hydrogen refuelling hub on Fabian Way. H2 View understands that Swansea Council expect the buses to be operational from 2027. “We’re helping the Welsh government’s ambition for buses to be zero-emission by 2035,” TfW said in a statement. “We’re investigating the potential for trialling hydrogen fuel cell buses in Swansea as part of our work to support the growth of a hydrogen bus fleet in Wales. “The scheme will reduce pollution and allow local people to travel in an environmentally friendly way.” Elsewhere [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two companies plan to scale up the global deployment of Paragon’s hydrogen production technology, which reportedly doesn’t use electrolysis, electricity or fossil fuels. Siemens Energy said the process yields hydrogen gas, aluminium hydroxide, which can be used in industrial applications, and heat, which can be converted into electricity. With no CO2 emissions, there is also no need for carbon capture technologies. Paragon has several patents filed surrounding the production process, including for reactor design and an advanced AI-based control system. Under the preliminary agreement, Siemens Energy will serve as the preferred technology partner. [...]

The turquoise hydrogen will be used at Repsol’s 100% renewable fuel plant in Castile-La Mancha, set to launch in 2026 with a capacity of 200,000 tonnes per year. Integrating biohydrogen is expected to cut the CO₂ footprint of its renewable diesel by up to 98% compared to fossil-based fuel. Repsol said developing biohydrogen is a step forward in producing renewable hydrogen through diverse technologies, “adapted to the needs” of its Puertollano complex. The announcement comes shortly after the oil and gas giant shelved plans for a 130MW hydrogen project at the complex that was set to supply its Puertollano plant. [...]

Voestalpine used hydrogen-reduced iron from Primetals Technologies’ Hyfor pilot plant at its Donawitz site, then melted it at its TechMet research steelworks and rolled it into finished rail at the adjacent mill. The Hyfor plant started up in 2021, and in April, Primetals, Mitsubishi, voestalpine, and Rio Tinto agreed to build a hydrogen-based ironmaking plant in Linz using the plants and smelter technologies. For the hydrogen rail project, Voestalpine lowered the rail’s carbon footprint by blending Hyfor-produced hydrogen-based iron with recycled scrap steel in the production process. Franz Kainersdorfer, Voestalpine Board Member and Metal Engineering Head, called the project “one [...]

The Australian government should redirect green hydrogen subsidies toward domestic industries already reliant on fossil-based hydrogen, rather than backing export-focused developments. That’s the message from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), which warns that many proposed hydrogen export projects are economically unviable and risk wasting public funds. The call comes amid a string of government-backed projects being cancelled or severely delayed due to high production costs and limited demand.

The Central Finland Mobility Foundation (Cefmof) plans to install the ‘Aqualyzer-C3′ system in Jyväskylä before the end of the year. H2 View understands that the electrolyser can produce enough hydrogen to refuel three fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in a single hour. As one of Asahi’s containerised modules, Cefmof can gradually expand production capacity through additional units, which can reach up to 7.5 MW capacities. Established by the City of Jyväskylä and Toyota subsidiaries, Cefmof is designed to accelerate the development of sustainable mobility and urban planning by harnessing green hydrogen. Cefmof is expected to use the electrolyser to promote hydrogen-powered [...]

Under a Letter of Intent with UK-based Element 2, HRS will supply its dual-pressure station, capable of dispensing 14kg of hydrogen per hour. H2 View understands that the mobile facility can be deployed to a new site in just 10 days and brings the number of HRS refuelling stations in the UK up to four. “This collaboration illustrates our shared vision for the decarbonisation of transport, the progress of our international diversification strategy and the renewed confidence of our client, the UK leader in hydrogen charging,” HRS stated online. The agreement follows up on a previous deal with Element 2 [...]
