Under the project agreement, New Zealand’s HW Richardson Group (HWR) will provide the technology via its subsidiary Ch2nge Fuel Technologies, while Warradarge Energy plans to deliver green hydrogen from its 26MW facility in Eneabba, Western Australia. Up to 70 of Newhaul’s Volvo FH16’s Prime Movers will integrate HWR’s technology, which the company has said could reduce diesel consumption by up to 12 million litres annually across the fleet managers Mid-West operations. HWR claimed the dual-fuel hydrogen technology has already demonstrated a 40-70% diesel reduction in commercial operations in New Zealand by using a hydrogen and diesel fuel mix. Data generated [...]

The projects, which include initiatives from RWE, Uniper and Centrica, among others, are expected to supply hydrogen for the power, glass manufacturing, brick-making and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sectors. The 27 shortlisted projects reportedly represent 765MW of production capacity, although 23% of the selected initiatives have yet to disclose their planned electrolyser sizes. HAR2 was originally planned to support 875MW. Geographically, the shortlist spans the UK, with Scotland standing out – home to eight of the 27 projects. Among those with published capacity data, Scottish projects account for 35% of the total 765MW. However, in an online statement, the government [...]

In collaboration with Sierra Space and Tec-Masters, Honda will test its high-differential pressure water electrolysis system aboard the International Space Station (ISS), using solar-powered electricity to generate hydrogen and oxygen. These gases will then be fed into a regenerative fuel cell to produce electricity, with water as the only byproduct. The water is recycled back into the electrolysis system, creating a closed-loop energy cycle. During the lunar day, the electrolysis system operates using electricity generated by solar panels. At night, when the moon receives no sunlight, stored oxygen can be used to support breathable air for astronauts. Under the demonstration [...]

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has urged Germany to accelerate demand creation for hydrogen through targeted measures such as hydrogen-specific Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs) to stimulate final investment decisions (FID). Germany is targeting a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2045. The IEA has claimed that clarity on hydrogen’s role in this transition will prevent the misallocation of resources, avoid stranded assets and ensure that hydrogen is utilised effectively.

Relaxing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules may affect projects reliant on the clarity and stringency the criteria provide, an H2 View webinar has heard. Matt Hardwick, Partner at global law firm King & Spalding, warned against relaxing the rules, especially ones focused on grid-based power use.

The fixed-price, lump-sum contract sets Casale up to construct the facility in Villeta. Once at full capacity, it will produce 260,000 tonnes of green calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN). Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using hydropower, will be one of the main feedstocks for the nitrogen-based fertiliser. The deal is conditional on Atome taking FID on the plant, which is expected by the end of H1 2025 – with a construction timeline of around 38 months to first production. Frederico Zardi, CEO of Casale, said the company would deliver a design for the project that would set “a precedent” for sustainable [...]

The projects, which include initiatives from RWE, Uniper and Centrica, among others, are expected to supply hydrogen for the power, glass manufacturing, brick-making and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sectors. Clare Jackson, CEO of Hydrogen UK, said HAR2 “builds on valuable lessons from past rounds and strengthens UK leadership in clean energy.” The exact total funding amount for HAR2 has not been specified. Nevertheless, it is expected to provide revenue support through the Hydrogen Production Business Model (HPBM) over 15-year contracts, similar to HAR1. However, in an online statement, the government stressed that it’s “unlikely that all projects will be successful.” [...]

McPhy announced today (April 7) that Jean-Baptiste Lucas had resigned from the role for “personal reasons.” He will hold onto the position until a successor is found – no later than July 31, 2025. Chairman, Luc Poyer said, “The board would like to acknowledge the involvement, rigour and courage that Jean-Baptiste Lucas has shown in a complex environment.” The resignation comes just days after McPhy said it had just enough “financial flexibility” to continue business until the end of H1 2025 – amid write-downs and project funding delays. “This situation creates material uncertainty as to going concern,” the company warned, [...]
