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. This [...]

Direct, large-scale pink hydrogen production in Europe is currently very limited, as the industry is still in its pilot and policy-alignment phase. Over 95% of European hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels, primarily through steam methane reforming. Speaking at the Nuclear Energy Summit, President Ursula von der Leyen pledged €200m to support private investment in nuclear technologies and unveiled a new European strategy for small modular reactors with the aim that they are operational by the early 2030s. Funding will come from the Emissions Trading System. “After years of declining investment, we need more to turn the tide,” she [...]

The engineering major will reveal the system, available in three different power variants, at an event in Berlin. According to Bosch, the systems will be suitable for buses between 12 and 18 metres long with the 100kW and 190kW iterations suited to intercity buses and coaches and the 300kW module appropriate for heavy-duty transport. The 190kW variant is set for testing in the first half of 2026. Jan-Oliver Röhrl, Chairman of Bosch’s global commercial vehicle activities, said the new propulsion system could work in conjunction with battery electric buses to help decarbonise transport. This comes as EU green hydrogen usage [...]

Proposed by the European Commission in 2021, the ReFuelEU Aviation framework is part of the EU’s “Fit for 55” climate package, which aims to cut EU greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The regulation is designed to support the scale-up of low-carbon aviation fuels, including eSAF produced using renewable hydrogen. In an announcement, the EU’s transport arm reaffirmed the penalties and obligations outlined in the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative after reports they may be scrapped. The post follows policy discussions around the need for clear penalties for missing fuel quotas under the mandates, which dictate that at least 10% [...]

The Criggion trial came under the UK government’s Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator programme and received part-funding from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). Hydrogen was used to replace liquid fossil fuels to produce more than 1,300 tonnes of asphalt, without any impact on the quality or performance of the material. The project demonstrated hydrogen as a viable alternative to fossil fuels in asphalt production, achieving a 76% reduction in Scope 1 (direct) emissions, equating to a 23% reduction in the overall carbon footprint of the asphalt produced. The source and volume of hydrogen used in the trial were [...]

The Iverson eFuels plant had been expected to produce 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2030, but was cancelled amid uncertainty over when new grid capacity could become available. Norwegian grid operator Statnett withdrew the project’s power allocation in late 2025, but Iverson eFuels only confirmed the project’s cancellation this month (March). “Statnett has stated that new capacity may only become available once the upgraded grid is completed, expected in the period 2033–2035. At the same time, there is no guarantee as to when the upgraded grid will be ready,” Iverson eFuels said in a statement. Significant resources [...]

Renewable energy firm OX2, forestry association Södra, and project developer TES have entered the pre-front-end engineering (pre-FEED) phase for the project. One operational, the plant aims to produce around 86,000 tonnes of e-NG per annum by combining hydrogen produced onsite using renewable electricity with biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from Södra’s pulp mill at Värö. The project has secured SEK 16.8 million (€1.6m) in funding from Sweden’s Energy Agency and aims to be operational by the early 2030s. An offtake agreement with an unnamed energy major covering most of the facility’s production capacity has already been signed, according to the [...]

The facility, planned for NSW’s town of Moree, will provide up to 4,500 tonnes of green ammonia to replace conventionally produced fertilisers. The project, set to receive AUD $45.2m ($31.7m) in NSW government funding, aims to launch by early 2027. It reached financial close in July 2025. A joint venture between Hiringa Energy and Sundown Pastoral Company dubbed the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia project (GEGHA), it will produce green ammonia through an on-site electrolyser supplying around 225 tonnes of clean hydrogen per year. Details around the electrolyser and subsequent ammonia synthesis systems remain unclear. It will primarily supply [...]
