Membrane sales in Q4 2025 grew 22.1% versus the same period in 2024, marking a notable rebound from a slow start to the year. Agfa-Gevaert attributed the late-year surge to increasing momentum in Asia, resulting in an overall year-on-year increase of 3.7%. This comes as Asian manufacturers expand into the global electrolyser market. In Q1 2025, Agfa-Gevaert had predicted consolidation among Western European electrolyser manufacturers after an 18% decrease in membrane sales. After Q2 2025 sales remained flat, the company then criticised the EU’s hydrogen roadmap, saying that regulatory complexity in the Renewable Energy Directive III could cost the bloc [...]

The funding has been approved under EU state aid rules. The project aims to capture greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the companies’ existing plants in Antwerp which produce hydrogen, ammonia and ethylene oxide, and serve as a regional hub for energy and carbon value chains. CO2 will be capture from various industrial sources on the Zandvliet industrial platform, transported by a local pipeline within the port of Antwerp to the liquefaction and export terminal in the same port, and then shipped to a permanent underground storage site in the North Sea. Initially it will focus on the more concentrated CO2 [...]

The Mad Fuel system is a mobile, containerised platform that produces synthetic drop-in fuels at or near the point of use from electricity, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2). It hopes to strengthen fuel resilience by decentralising production and is considered one of the US Department of War’s (DOW) six critical technologies. Airco developed the technology in collaboration with DOW offices, including the innovation arm AFWERX. While technical specifics remain sparse, Airco says it is feedstock-flexible, drawing on any renewable power to deliver synthetic jet fuel or diesel equivalent. It hopes the system, which has received around $70m in federal funding, [...]

Capital is moving from UK hydrogen projects to faster-moving markets like the EU, which is running ahead, despite less generous subsidies. Speaking at the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference, Kim McCann, Global Energy Advisory Director at environmental consultant SLR Consulting, said the country was at a “pivotal moment” where support schemes were being undermined.

Restrictions on incentive stacking are driving the UK e-fuel developers to import green hydrogen-based feedstocks, according to Honeywell UOP’s head of sales and business development. Richard Mathers from the tech conglomerate told the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference that the UK’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate could be a major driver for clean hydrogen demand.

Publish an updated hydrogen strategy, progress funding schemes, and stick to timelines, or risk squandering the UK’s hydrogen opportunity. That was the message from Clare Jackson, CEO of Hydrogen UK, in a keynote address at the trade group’s annual conference.

Operations had already been reduced by around 20% earlier in the week due to the regional situation. It’s not just oil which makes Ruwais strategically important. The expanding industrial area aims to open a blue ammonia facility next year and Ruwais LNG, positioned as the MENA region’s first LNG export hub, is scheduled to open in the second half of 2028. The industrial area produces around 300,000 metric tonnes of hydrogen a year, which is primarily used for refining and petrochemical operations. The upcoming blue ammonia facility, targeting one million tonnes per annum (mtpa), is a joint venture involving TA’ZIZ [...]

Located at a former refinery, the 20MW plant is due online in 2028 and is expected to produce around 2,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, supplying industrial customers across Milford Haven and Port Talbot. The FID was confirmed by UK electrolyser ITM Power, which received a notice to proceed with supplying its PEM technology in February. ITM has also signed a ten-year long-term service agreement with MorGen to provide maintenance and support for the plant’s operations. The West Wales project is among the first developments under the government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) scheme to reach FID, and will [...]

It was the trade body’s third annual awards, where the winners were announced in a ceremony in Birmingham, recognising work across finance and investment, community engagement, industrial applications, transport and more. In an opening speech, Hydrogen UK Vice-President and Honeywell Director and Head of Government Relations, Willie Coetzee, said the sector was broadly on the right track, compared with other energy scale-ups. “If we apply ourselves, if we work together and work towards that common goal, we can stay the course and enable some of these barrier-breaking opportunities to get us there faster,” he said. Full list of winners: Hydrogen [...]

Its Sitra refinery produces hydrogen primarily through a high-capacity hydrogen production unit. Recently it added a clean hydrogen project using electrolysis powered by renewable energy, which supplies 20% of the refinery’s total hydrogen, as part of a $6bn modernisation programme. The hydrogen is primarily used for hydrocracking and hydride sulfurisation to produce cleaner fuels. The refinery also produces various petroleum products, including diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha for export. When force majeure is announced, the party unable to perform its contractual duties due to unforeseen, uncontrollable circumstances (such as natural disasters, wars, or pandemics) is generally excused from liability for non-performance or delay.
