A new market study from IMI has revealed that 83% of decision-makers in Europe see transport decarbonisation as feasible without the use of hydrogen, despite ongoing industry interest. Approaching up to 300 decision-makers based in the UK, Germany and Italy, market research agency Censuswide carried out the analysis for IMI’s ‘The Road Ahead’ report. Overall, 83% of respondents said it would be feasible to decarbonise public transport without any use of hydrogen, although some of these answers were specified as “entirely feasible” and “somewhat feasible,” suggesting contradiction in the market.

Hintco, the German Government-funded investment vehicle behind the scheme, said the supply-side auction is organised into five lots – four regional and one global. The regional auctions each have a minimum budget of €484m ($505m), focusing on purchasing hydrogen from North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Africa. These auctions will be “product-open lot,” allowing flexibility in the form of hydrogen supplied, be it pure hydrogen, ammonia or methanol. The global auction will offer a minimum of €567m ($591m) to import hydrogen as the final product from anywhere in the world. Hintco has said suppliers are free to choose preferred [...]

Boomtown, which is set to take place in Hampshire on August 6-10, has said the HYDRO stage will form a key part of the 2025 event. The festival, which expects to attract over 65,000 attendees, has partnered with Hydrologiq to pull off the feat of delivering the clean-powered stage by using the firm’s HydrologiqOS platform. The stage will use hydrogen fuel cell generators to provide its power, with Hydrologiq managing the installation, remotely monitoring fuel levels and organising compliant operations on the ground. Luke Mitchell, the festival’s co-founder and creative director, said he was “unbelievably happy” to launch the stage. [...]

The containerised portable liquefiers, housed in 20-foot and 40-foot containers, are available in configurations producing either 35kg, 75kg, or 400kg of liquid hydrogen per day. Through this partnership, the New Zealand-based firm will expand its customer base into the neighbouring Australian market. This growth will be driven by a subsidiary of Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation, a specialist in importing and supplying equipment. “There is a growing shift towards innovation to support liquid hydrogen as a fuel for aircraft and trucks, coupled with demand for portable systems that can be easily deployed at airfields or truck stops,” explained Christopher Boyle, Fabrum’s Co-Founder [...]

The scheme under Finland’s state aid rules will provide tax credits to renewable fuel producers, industrial end-users and clean technology manufacturers. The first subsidy will support investments in renewable fuel production, as well as the storage of electricity and renewable fuels such as green hydrogen, biofuels, and more. Tax credits will also be offered to industrial players looking to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 40% and/or reduce energy consumption by at least 20%. Electrolyser makers, alongside solar, wind, heat pump, battery and CCUS tech manufacturers, can claim the tax credit for new investments in production facilities. [...]

The feasibility study will focus on integrating portable sub-5kW fuel cells with existing battery packs to increase vehicle range while maintaining payload capacity and meeting regulatory requirements. In an online statement, Viritech claimed there is “significant market potential” in using these solutions for on and off-highway electric vehicles. “Currently, battery electric last-mile delivery vehicles are restricted in terms of their range,” the statement read. “Particularly when faced with challenging use cases such as extreme weather conditions, congested urban areas and undulating terrains.” By using portable fuel cells in conjunction with the battery packs, Viritech aims to “establish a gateway for [...]

The company said green hydrogen infrastructure would be its “main growth driver” and account for 83% of its $4.03bn six-year investment plan. In doing so, Enagás believes it will enable 9.5% compound annual EBITDA growth between 2026 and 2030. “With this investment plan, Enagás will increase its regulated assets between 2025 and 2030 to almost €5bn ($5.2bn),” the company said. “By 2030, the company’s hydrogen assets will exceed its natural gas assets.” It comes after the operator completed the conceptual design of the Spanish Hydrogen Backbone, ahead of taking final investment decision (FID) on the 2,700km network, with two underground [...]
