The additional financing will help H2SITE meet its next industrialisation and commercialisation milestones, including multi-tonnes per day hydrogen production capacity in operation by 2026 and addressing ammonia cracking and natural hydrogen markets. The Bilbao-based firm has been developing membrane reactor technology since 2021, which enables hydrogen separation from gas streams and green molecules, such as ammonia or methanol.

The consortium of investors provides H2SITE with access to a broad international ecosystem of stakeholders [...]

The Department of Transport (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) granted the funding to the Port of Houston Authority, as part of a collaboration with Linde and other players. The Bayport HRS project plans to offer high fuelling throughout with “convenient and publicly accessible fuelling options.” Linde will be responsible for the station’s design, construction, ownership and operation. Although details have not been revealed about the station’s potential capacity, the partners believe it will support the port’s Net Zero by 2050 plans. “This project exemplifies Port Houston ‘walking the talk’ of sustainability and Net Zero,” said Port Houston Chief [...]

The refuelling station, which will open this spring (2025), will offer green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar pressure levels to service light and heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and passenger cars. The Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy announced it would support MorGen’s development at the Cleantech Innovation Park, which is strategically located near the A70 and A73 motorways. H2 View understands that green hydrogen will be sourced from regional production facilities. The refuelling station will be located approximately 167km south of the German hydrogen core network checkpoint in Erfurt. Read more: Germany’s 9,000km hydrogen gamble: Will [...]

The loan guarantee from the DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO), initially announced in May, will be welcome news for Plug Power. It could enhance the company’s access to capital by reducing financing risks, as the government will act as a guarantor for a substantial portion of the debt associated with these projects. The firm says a planned hydrogen plant in Graham, Texas, will be the first to benefit from the financing. Expected to be powered by an adjacent wind farm, the plant will use Plug’s electrolyser technology, liquefaction and storage systems, adding to its current US liquid hydrogen production capacity [...]

CARB withdrew the waiver request for the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) rule on January 13, which would have seen the phase-out of new diesel-powered semi-trucks and buses by 2036. Additionally, CARB proposed to ban the use of locomotive engines older than 23 years by 2030 to decarbonise the freight rail system and introduce new zero-emission technologies. However, after the EPA failed to approve the acts in time, which were opposed by industry members due to costly mandates, CARB pulled the waiver. It comes ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday (January 20), which has sparked various climate backtracks from [...]

While the tone was largely equable for the first hour and 11 minutes, the mood changed when Senator Alex Padilla from California began questioning the CEO of Liberty Energy. He put Wright on the spot about social media comments relating to climate change as ‘hype’, at a time when Los Angeles struggles to come to terms with widespread destruction from the wildfires. “Tell that to the families of the more than two dozen lost,” he said. While Wright was mindful not to repeat the word, he said he stood by his past comments – which seemed to jar with earlier comments [...]

The government today (January 16) opened a 12-week consultation for the Gas Shipper Obligation (GSO) that would be used to fund its so-called hydrogen levy. As passed in October 2023, “gas shippers” – which are defined as a company that buys gas from producers, trades gas on wholesale markets and sells it to gas suppliers – would bear the brunt of the hydrogen levy to fund market ramp-up. Read more: UK Energy Act passed – with hydrogen levy attached The government plans to introduce the GSO in 2028, aligning with the first hydrogen allocation round (HAR1) contracts to provide a [...]

Through HSBC Equipment Finance, Hygen will receive backing in the form of asset finance lent to advance its facility at the Tyseley Energy Park (TEP) and develop additional sites across the UK. From its refuelling unit at the Tyseley site, Hygen supplies hydrogen to major customers such as National Express and JCB for their decarbonisation initiatives. “HSBC UK’s confidence in our business, and the potential of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source, is truly encouraging,” explained Kevin Selleslags, Hygen CEO. “Securing bank funding also sends an important signal to the market about the opportunities for this technology.” Representing HSBC UK’s [...]

H2 View understands that the grants will fund 49 projects implementing more than 11,500 EV charging ports and hydrogen and natural gas fuelling infrastructure along corridors. They will span 27 States, four federally recognised tribes and the District of Columbia. The build-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure will support the nation’s goal of deploying zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles to reduce diesel emissions. Commenting on the grants, Gabe Klein, Executive Director of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, said, “Today’s investments supplement a combination of federal tax incentives, state and local funding, and private investment to fill gaps in the [...]
