The EU is set to reintroduce tariffs on US steel and aluminium, targeting up to €18bn ($19.6bn) worth of US goods in a move that could impact US electrolyser manufacturers supplying European hydrogen projects. This latest escalation in the US-instigated global trade war comes in response to US President Trump’s decision to impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports, which took effect on Wednesday (March 12). The European Commission will reinstate tariffs on US products on April 1, with the measures expected to be fully in place by April 13. This is a paid article, to read the [...]

The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Range Extended Fire Engine Prototype (Hyer Power) project will trial up to three fuel cell-powered vehicles, including a fire engine, ambulance and road sweeper. As the lead partner in the £8m ($10.3m) initiative, UlemCo will direct the funding towards the development of essential hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. Hungerford-based Fuel Cell Systems will provide the refuelling equipment. Since 2016, the company has developed three generations of mobile hydrogen refuelling trucks. Oxfordshire County Council will oversee the installation of the refuelling infrastructure to support the trials. In 2023, UlemCo secured £7.9m ($10.2m) from the UK Government and industry to [...]

Awarded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), the Vast Solar 1 (VS1) initiative is part of the Port Augusta Green Energy Hub and includes an option to power a co-located green methanol production facility called Solar Methanol 1 (SM1). Set to be developed in partnership with German company Mabanaft, SM1 will produce green methanol derived from hydrogen in South Australia. Overall, the Australian project will utilise Vast’s next-generation concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) technology to provide long-duration renewable energy storage and generation to supply on-demand clean power to South Australia’s grid. By integrating CSP technology with green methanol production, [...]

Many new professionals are either entering the oil and gas industry directly or returning to traditional energy projects, drawn by better financial incentives, LRWA’s Leanne Halliday said during an H2 View webinar. Taking part in a recent global recruitment survey, the Global Head for Energy and Renewables at LRWA found that many professionals are shifting back to traditional energy projects, driven by the availability in jobs and higher salaries in oil and gas.

The two company-consortium was selected by Beteiligungsgesellschaft Kreis Düren, a subsidiary of the district of Düren in North Rhine-Westphalia. The facility will be developed in two phases, initially supporting 23 hydrogen-powered buses before expanding to accommodate an additional 29. During the first phase, buses are expected to refuel in under four hours, with the facility ultimately reaching a full capacity of 1.2 tonnes. Germany’s Lifte H2 will manage the project, design the station and oversee commissioning, while Dutch firm Resato will provide the refuelling infrastructure equipment and short-term maintenance services. Whilst the companies have not revealed when the initial phase [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Israel’s H2Pro will work with Latvia’s national electricity company, Latvenergo, to explore the feasibility of deploying its 5MW electrolyser in the latter’s energy infrastructure. Together, they aim to integrate Latvia’s solar and wind resources to power with H2Pro’s electrolysis technology. Latvian Minister of Economy, Viktors Valainis, said he hopes to “keep developing the energy and other sectors of economy in a mutually beneficial way between Latvia and Israel.” After signing the MOU in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tzahi Rodrig, CEO of H2Pro, claimed that Latvenergo presents an “excellent environment for demonstrating the unique advantages of [...]

The French oil major will use the volumes in its Leuna refinery in Saxony-Anhalt from 2030 to replace some of the grey hydrogen used in its operations. The hydrogen will be delivered via a 600km section of Germany’s planned 9,000km hydrogen core network (HCN), until the contract’s conclusion in 2044. Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, said, “This long-term contract for green hydrogen marks an important milestone to reducing our CO2 emissions at our Leuna refinery.” RWE’s GET H2 Nukleus project at its Lingen gas-fired power plant is currently under construction after reaching final investment decision (FID) last summer.

Incitias Pty is leading construction under its engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Campus, after the Light Regional Council approved planning consent. Sparc also secured the first patent for its licensed PWS reactor technology in Q1 2025. The pilot plant, set for commissioning in mid-2025, will test reactor designs and photocatalyst materials under concentrated solar conditions. The Sparc Technologies, Fortescue and University of Adelaide joint venture aims to advance its PWS reactor from TRL-5 to TRL-6, validate real-world performance and refine engineering and safety protocols. In an online statement, Sparc Hydrogen explained its [...]

Under an EPC collaboration agreement, the South Korean firm will develop its own hydrogen plant designs based on both Nel’s alkaline and PEM electrolyser stack and balance of stack technology. In a separate agreement, Nel plans to issue 167,132,530 shares to Samsung E&A for NOK 353m ($33.1m) to give the company a 9.1% shareholding in Nel. The share sale is subject to board approval. Nel and Samsung also plan to work on a larger balance of stack system for alkaline electrolysers. The deals come as the near-100-year-old electrolyser maker looks to focus on manufacturing its core stack technologies – a [...]
