“Mission24 is exploring a new direction: liquid hydrogen,” the ACO and GreenGT joint venture wrote online. “This type of storage is more suited to the demands of the competition. The H24EVO will prove it.” The vehicle was first unveiled in 2023 before a full-scale model was released for the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans. Originally, the H24EVO would have included two tanks storing 7.8kg of hydrogen at 700 bar to power the 300kW Symbio fuel cell.

The French developer said its Croixrault facility in the Somme region of Hauts-de-France, would supply up to two tonnes of hydrogen per day from 2026. Coming as the firm’s first site in northern France, Lhyfe plans to supply its green hydrogen output to mobility applications in the region. The company also said the 5MW unit will help stabilise Hauts-de-France’s power grid, with the site able to module its electricity use according to wider power demand. “We’re delighted to announce this new production site in Croixrault,” said Maud Augeai, Sales Director France at Lhyfe. “As decarbonisation is synonymous with competitiveness, we [...]

Last week, Spain’s minority government failed to extend a 1.2% windfall tax on energy firms with revenues over €1bn ($1.04bn) after the proposal was rejected in parliament. Moeve, which rebranded from Cepsa to position itself as “a leader in sustainable energy,” had been a vocal critic of the proposal, warning that it could slow its green hydrogen investments in Spain. But the firm’s CEO Maarten Wetslaar told an event in Madrid today (January 29) that the company would begin construction of its 2GW green hydrogen hub in Andalusia “in a matter of months.” The company earmarked €3bn ($3.12bn) to build [...]

That was the message from Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez who was speaking at network operator Enagas’ Hydrogen Day event today (January 29). Sánchez revealed that the Spanish Government would unveil its preliminary plans for its €1.3bn direct subsidy scheme for hydrogen hubs in the coming weeks. It follows a consultation launched in July. Sánchez added that €400m from Spain’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) – set aside for a national green hydrogen auction – will support projects that received a “positive evaluation” in the EU’s European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) pilot auction but missed out on funding. Of the six projects [...]

The Compass sets a path for Europe to become the place ‘where future technologies, services, and clean products are invented, manufactured, and put on the market,’ according to a statement, and comes ahead of the release of the Clean Industrial Deal, another key competitive plank, next month. It aims to convert the recommendations of the Draghi report into a’ roadmap’. “Over the last two decades, Europe has not kept pace with other major economies due to a persistent gap in productivity growth,” it states. “The EU has what is needed to reverse this trend with its talented and educated workforce, [...]

The stations will incorporate a higher-flow dual nozzle, allowing for one hydrogen dispenser to refuel heavy-duty vehicles in under 10 minutes. Therefore, a 40-tonne truck will be able to “refuel for a 600km range in just eight minutes and 900km in 12 minutes.” In an online press statement, Toyota said that the new solution is “faster and more cost-efficient.” The roll-out will be piloted as part of an EU-funded RHeaDHy project and it aligns with targets set out by the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). Under the new agreement, Toyota will provide a test bench and a truck equipped [...]

Schaeffler Hydrogen Technologies, headquartered in Shanghai, was launched in early January after Schaeffler signed a cooperation framework agreement with the local government. The new company will primarily focus on PEM and anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis stack research, development, production and industrialisation. It will look to lean on the German parent company’s legacy of producing metal bipolar plates for fuel cells and electrolysers, as well as other key electrical components. “The new company will rely on Schaeffler’s technological advantages in the field of hydrogen energy, continue to increase R&D efforts and localisation capacity building, and promote the development of the [...]

In a new report, the associations made 11 recommendations that could slash electrolytic hydrogen prices by lowering electricity costs, which account for around 70% of the final cost of green hydrogen. If implemented, the bodies say electrolytic hydrogen costs – currently £241/MWh (£8.02/kg) under its first hydrogen allocation round (HAR1) – could fall below £100/MWh (£3.33/kg).

Westwood Global Energy forecasts that approximately nine final investment decisions (FIDs) will be made in the European hydrogen sector in 2025, potentially involving larger-scale projects than those approved in 2024. The analyst estimates that up to 500MW of hydrogen production projects could reach a final investment decision (FID) this year. Notable projects include Uniper’s 131MW Green Hydrogen Wilhelmshaven initiative, Renato’s 329MW Catalina P2X project, and the first three developments to secure contracts under the UK’s HAR 1 scheme.
