The site, located near Muscat International Airport, can produce up to 130kg of green hydrogen per day to support the deployment of 15 hydrogen-powered taxis from the state-owned transport agency Mwasalat. Alongside hydrogen capacity, the station also hosts EV fast-charging and conventional fuelling options. “Not too long ago, the idea of refuelling a car with hydrogen in Oman felt like a vision for the future,” Shell’s Oman Country Chair, Walid Hadi posted on LinkedIn. “Today, that future is here with the launch of Oman’s first green hydrogen station.” Omani Minister of Energy and Minerals, Salim Nasser Al Aufi, said that [...]

The new Streetdeck Hydroliner Gen 2 was redesigned “from the ground up” in a four-year project part-funded by the UK Government’s Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC). Featuring Ballard’s latest fuel cell, the OEM says the Gen 2 bus offers 20% savings in fuel costs, 30% savings in maintenance parts over 15 years, a 5% increase in passenger capacity, as well as “significant savings” on original base price. The Jo Bamford-owned firm says the new model can be refuelled in just eight minutes and boasts a range of over 300 miles, which it claims is a “like-for-like replacement to diesel.” “Our development [...]

As part of the UK Government’s £55m ($69m) Industrial Fuel Switching Competition, and under the HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching 2 programme, Kellogg’s will undergo a three-week demonstration using hydrogen power.

Kellogg’s Vice-President of Manufacturing, Sam Bistiaux, said the company will share examples and learnings of the demonstration to help other businesses [...]

Electrolyser-based projects built within the state can apply for funding up until May 15, 2025. The maximum funding amount per project is €10m ($10.5m), while small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can secure up to €8.25m ($8.6m) per project. The funding will reportedly cover up to 45% of eligible investment costs, with small businesses entitled to an additional 20% and medium-sized organisations an additional 10%. The German Ministry for Environment, Climate and Energy Economy (BMWK) is backing the Funding for Electrolysers (ELY) programme, which will be managed by the Karlsruhe Project Management Agency. Baden-Württemberg Energy Minister Thekla Walker said a state-wide [...]

The company’s CEO, Josu Jon Imaz, told investors last week (February 20) that Repsol’s initial aim for 1.9GW of installed renewable hydrogen capacity by 2030 had been reduced to between 700MW and 1.2GW. H2 View understands that 350MW of hydrogen production will come from biomethane reforming at refineries to reduce the need for additional investment in electrolysis. Imaz shared concerns about the feasibility of hydrogen adoption in industries such as steel, cement, paper and chemicals, and therefore, Respol is “phasing down dramatically [its] hydrogen investment and expectation.” “We are reducing the installed capacity that we announced four years ago,” explained [...]

The investment comes on top of the £100m Falkirk and Grangemouth Growth Deal, delivered jointly with the Scottish Government, which will invest in local energy projects, and the £1.5m Project Willow, which is examining the site’s green energy and hydrogen potential, and will report in the spring. “We will grasp the opportunities at Grangemouth, work alongside partners to develop viable proposals and team up with business to get new industries off the ground,” Prime Minister Starmer said. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham welcomed the news after months of campaigning. “This needs to be the start not the end in delivering a real [...]

Zeevonk, the joint venture between the two companies, will see 2GW of offshore wind capacity and a 50MWp floating offshore wind farm to power a large-scale electrolyser. The onshore electrolyser will be located in the Maasvlakte section of the Port of Rotterdam. UK-based Wood will conduct FEED work for the hydrogen facility over the next ten months and provide detailed cost estimates for the upcoming equipment, procurement and construction (EPC) process in Q2. Expected to be operational in 2029, the plant will be “designed to reach significant peak consumption.” Zeevonk will reportedly produce 1GW of hydrogen production capacity. Once complete, [...]

Australia’s hydrogen sector has encountered significant challenges over the past year, highlighted by the South Australian Government’s recent decision to reallocate funding from the Whyalla hydrogen project to support local steelworks. It came as the fourth project, with federal or state support, to be in the spotlight for apparent failures, opening the Labor government to stark, anti-hydrogen political opposition – just months away from a federal election.

Supported by £8m ($10.1m) of UK Government funding, the station will form part of the Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub, which aims to bolster hydrogen production and use across mobility applications. Construction is expected to be completed this spring before installation and commissioning. The Element 2-built station is planned to support hydrogen trucks, vans and cars, as well as any airport vehicle trials. © Teesside International Airport As part of the hub funding, ULEMCo planned to develop hydrogen-powered airport ground vehicles such as aeroplane tow trucks and runway sweepers. Element 2 also had plans to build three other stations as [...]

German steelmaker Salzgitter has started construction of a 100MW electrolyser plant that will supply green hydrogen for its low-carbon steel production processes. EPC firm Andritz will install the 100MW HydrogenPro alkaline electrolysers at the Flachstahl site for start-up in 2026.
