H2-View News: Verso Energy plans €1.4bn e-SAF production facility in Finland
Under a co-operation agreement with the City of Oulu, Verso intends to build a plant capable of producing 80,000 tonnes per year of e-SAF. The hydrogen processing facility will produce hydrogen, which will then be combined with captured CO2 to synthesise e-SAF. Located in the city’s port area, the plant is expected to be the “largest” of its kind in Finland. Antonie Huard, CEO of Verso Energy, claimed the nation is “very attractive” for e-SAF production, and the Oulu site has “all the qualities to be a very competitive site at the European Level.” The €1.4bn ($1.5bn) agreement between Verso Energy and the City of [...]
H2-View News: “We need collaboration”: Vireon CEO calls for change as Enova backs hydrogen refuelling corridor
The stations will be built to serve heavy-duty vehicles and offer green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar. To secure redundancy, the corridor will offer truck drivers the option of two different routes between the two cities. Additionally, Enova’s grant will provide support for Norwegian Hydrogen subsidiary to buy a fleet of hydrogen transport containers to distribute hydrogen from production sites to the refuelling stations. Per Øyvind Voie © Vireon Whilst Per Øyvind Voie, Vireon’s CEO, praised the decision to award the grant, he urged stakeholders in the hydrogen industry to “come together and realise these projects.” The CEO added, [...]
H2-View News: Smoltek and Heraeus partner to ‘redefine’ iridium use in PEM electrolysers
Under a strategic collaboration agreement, the two companies aim to enhance the functional efficiency of porous transport electrodes (PTEs) in PEM systems, whilst “redefining” iridium efficiency for hydrogen production. The approach will integrate the porous transport layer with ultra-thin iridium and platinum catalytic coatings. This could cut iridium usage while boosting efficiency and lowering costs. To the partnership, Smoltek will contribute its nanostructured, ultra-low iridium technology, having already achieved a 0.1 mg/cm² iridium loading in PEM electrolysers. Heraeus provides expertise in catalyst formulations, including ruthenium-iridium catalysts. The partnership is non-binding and won’t offer direct revenue, but it offers Smoltek access [...]
H2-View News: Electrolyser manufacturer Quest One to cut 120 jobs amid market challenges
In an online statement, the German firm, formally known as H-TEC Systems, said it is “reacting to an overall tense economic situation and a ramp-up of the German and international hydrogen economy that has lagged behind expectations.” The restructuring programme will focus on significant cost reductions to increase the company’s competitiveness and to align internal capacities with the current market situation. As a result, many employees’ contracts will be terminated “without redundancies if possible.” Quest One stated, “The program will create the framework conditions for greater customer proximity, stronger competitiveness and more profitable growth.” Its CEO, Michael Meister, said the [...]

H2-View News: P2X Solutions CEO urges action as green hydrogen production begins in Finland
Beginning commercial operations has given P2X Solutions a “competitive advantage,” according to the company’s CEO, Herkko Pilt. “We recommend companies start deploying green hydrogen and electric fuels before the mandatory legislation enters into force, as the change will take time,” Pilt stressed. “My message to companies is: Don’t wait for the change, make it happen.” He added that Finland is in a great position to “develop into a superpower” in clean hydrogen and its derivative electric fuels, adding that he “hopes many projects will follow suit.” H2 View understands that P2X Solutions is planning additional hydrogen plants, including a 40MW [...]
H2-View News: PtX Investment Fund backs 100,000 tonne green ammonia project in Morocco
The two companies reviewed a total of 98 expressions of interests from seven countries before signing a grant agreement with INNOVX’s Hydrojeel for its Jorf Hydrogen Platform project. The initiative is being developed by Hydrojeel on behalf of Morocco’s OCP Group. It will be located in the Jorf Industrial Park facility at the port of Jorf-El Jadida and is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by the end of 2026. The project will use wind and solar power from newly built plants to produce green hydrogen before converting it into ammonia for fertiliser production. In its [...]
H2-View News: 80,000 tonne SAF plant planned in Sweden by Norsk e-Fuel, Prime Capital, RES
Project Alby will produce green hydrogen which will be combined with captured CO2 to generate e-kerosene. Following further development and construction of the 14-hectare site, Norsk e-Fuel has stated that operations will commence in line with the European ReFuelEU Aviation regulation, which mandates that at least 10% of aviation fuel must come from sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030, with a target of up to 70% by 2050. The facility is located around 370km north of Stockholm in the municipality of Ånge, meaning it will reportedly benefit from low electricity prices due to extensive renewable energy available in the region.

H2-View News: thyssenkrupp nucera hydrogen orders drop 95%, but eyes €550m in sales this year
Logging a total of €95m ($99m) in orders in the quarter (down from €176m ($183m) a year previous), just €5m ($5.2m) was attributed to its alkaline electrolysers, citing high market volatility and project delays. It also said a tranche of €100m ($104m), related to its 700MW order for the Stegra green steel project, had been included in the order intake in the prior-year quarter. The German firm’s chlor-alkali business buoyed orders with €89m ($92.7m) of intake – up 35% from the previous quarter. However, hydrogen electrolysers still account for 60% of its order backlog with €600m ($625m). “The challenges in [...]
H2-View News: Mexican transport companies trial Alpha H2’s hydrogen injection kits for fleet operations
The first trial is being conducted with one of Mexico’s leading mobility and transport providers, Traxión, which operates a fleet of 10,900 vehicles. The other is being undertaken with a bus owned by the nation’s largest interstate transport company, which H2 View understands is Trayecto. © Alpha H2 The trials evaluate Alpha H2’s technology and assess how it can integrate into both companies’ existing operations.
