Under a seven-year deal, green steel from Hydnum will power Thyssenkrupp’s push to decarbonise supply chains across automotive, construction and appliances – being one of the world’s top mill-independent materials distributors and service providers. By partnering with Hydnum Steel, the German energy firm can expand its offering of sustainable steel and meet rising customer demand for greener materials. “Interest in clean steel is growing rapidly,” explained Marcus Wöhl, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Materials Processing. “We need partners like Hydnum to offer solutions that combine sustainability and innovation.” The seven-year supply agreement will begin once the Puertollano plant is operational. Last July, [...]

The UK’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) funding model is unfit for a nascent hydrogen market and risks missed opportunities, the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference has heard, with further concerns that policy gaps could derail the country’s 2030 10GW target. Denis Thomas – the company’s Global Marketing Director for electrolysers – told the event that the US electrolyser maker sees the UK as an “attractive market.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

Just 1-24% of the UK’s hydrogen project pipeline is expected to materialise by 2030, according to research from Westwood Global Energy. Westwood’s latest whitepaper exposes major shortfalls in UK policy, funding, and demand-side support, warning that 2030 targets are at risk without swift and coordinated action.

Clean hydrogen cannot be ignored if the UK Government wants to achieve its economic growth targets. That was the opening message from Hydrogen UK CEO Clare Jackson at the trade body’s 2025 Annual Conference – where she acknowledged the challenges in scaling the sector.

The vessel features twin 12-cylinder hydrogen-blended internal combustion engines (ICE) and a storage capacity of approximately 250kg of high-pressure hydrogen gas. If the hydrogen systems fail, the tugboat can operate with only traditional marine fuels too. JFE Steel Corporation supplied its JGreeX green steel for the vessel’s hull—while not hydrogen-based, the steel is produced using a mass balance approach to achieve significantly reduced CO₂ emissions. The vessel was developed and built under the Nippon Foundation’s “Zero Emission Ships Project,” which aims to deliver vessels with zero CO2 emissions. “We will utilise the know-how and design processes we have developed in [...]

The trade association’s annual awards announced the 10 winners at the National Conference Centre (NCC) in Birmingham, to highlight the achievements and innovations of individuals and organisations across the hydrogen sector. Awards were given out for work in finance and investment, industrial applications, transportation and innovation, as well as awards for individual people making efforts. Acknowledging the challenges felt across the hydrogen sector in recent years, Jane Toogood, Co-Chair of the UK Hydrogen Delivery Council, praised the efforts of the people working throughout the sector. “The key to success is much more than resilience and agility,” she said. “It’s about [...]

Located at the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP), the Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Supply Basin (Alshsn) has been backed with $13.8m in investment to ensure its development. With an initial filling capacity of 12 tonnes per day, the station will be capable of supplying up to 12 hydrogen refuelling stations, supporting the deployment of medium- and heavy-duty hydrogen-powered trucks. Air Liquide stated that the 300-bar Type II trailers used will allow for the delivery of 60% more hydrogen per trip and cut transport emissions compared to 200-bar alternatives. The centre will provide low-carbon hydrogen produced through a CO2 recycling process at [...]

The government wants to understand the type of H2P plants that could be delivered rapidly, including the scope of planned projects, timescales, costs and barriers. Stakeholders with existing plans for the development of H2P projects before large-scale hydrogen infrastructure is available have been encouraged to submit proposals before May 12, 2025. Specifically, projects that could generate electricity from 100% hydrogen by 2030, first-of-a-kind, standalone or semi-standalone initiatives not reliant on large-scale infrastructure are desired by the government. Therefore, the government can understand risks, benefits, technical configurations and the value of early deployment. It also wants to learn about technology risks, [...]

Last October, the German OEM filed for insolvency, due to growing debts and delays in paying employee wages. Workers feared that the company was headed for bankruptcy. During insolvency, Quantron maintained core operations with a reduced team of 40, ensured wage payments through pre-financing, and launched a structured sales process to attract investors and secure long-term stability. In an online statement, the company said, “The focus is now on sustainable growth, global partnerships, and the continuous development of technology.” Further updates are set to be released by Quantron over the coming weeks. The firm will hold a press conference in [...]

High-pressure technology company Maximator has unveiled its ValvolutionX series, billed as a compact air actuated hydrogen valve. Addressing delegates today, Robin Schreiber, Business Development Manager, said, “The valve has a completely different way of working inside an internal mechanism that hasn’t been there [before]. We were able to shrink a 60kg air drive all the way down to 8kg, meaning we can push all the hydrogen needed at refuelling stations and for heavy duty vehicles.” The established German company’s products are mainly geared for 2,000 bar compression – but can go as high as 15,000 bar. “We are focusing on [...]
