Abdul Waheed, the company’s founder and now CEO, said the dramatic shift was a “direct consequence” of the previous leadership’s strategy of concentrating on capital-heavy hydrogen truck manufacturing. Launched in 2017, HVS distinguished itself from other hydrogen truck players by not relying on existing truck chassis, which it said allowed it to streamline the design of its hydrogen powertrain. Describing the approach as “financially untenable and unsustainable,” the company stated that it is urgently seeking £0.7m ($0.87m) to avoid “immediate legal action” after it accrued £7m ($8.7m) in supply chain debt and a £1.4m ($1.7m) creditor demand. That’s despite early [...]

The four 5MW containerised Neptune V plants will produce green hydrogen for use in the maritime sector. Production is expected to start in late 2026. The site could also be expanded to 40MW of electrolysis capacity from 2027. Greenstat, a subsidiary of La Française de l’Energie (FDE), started construction on the plant in August after it took full ownership of the project from Everfuel.

In an open letter to Commissioners, the Hydrogen Council, Hydrogen Europe, the Renewable Hydrogen Coalition and the International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) said without their recommendations, clean hydrogen’s scale up “will not happen.” They stressed that “market activation measures” should set binding targets for the use of sustainable products, such as green steel or green ammonia, in state-funded projects. “Market activation should help bridge the cost gap to make sustainable products cost-competitive with polluting alternatives,” it reads. The bodies also call for streamlined funding instruments for “scale, simplicity and speed.” “Launching the most mature [...]

Research Laboratory (AFRL) was aimed at continuing to mature upper stage engines to fulfil future National Security Space Launch (NSSL) missions. NSSL missions are intended to assure the US Department of Defence (DOD) access to space. The US Air Force has been in the process of selecting its next generation NSSL vehicles since 2018. VR35K-A uses a fuel-rich staged combustion cycle, turbopump architecture and Sierra Space’s patented VORTEX combustion chamber technology to produce 35,000 lbf of thrust. The Californian test programme followed a similar campaign in 2024 at the company’s Badger Propulsion Test Facility in Wisconsin, where it says it [...]

The Urbino 12 buses, delivered to Emilia-Romagna transport operator TPER, mark the first batch of vehicles to arrive in the region off the back of a 2023 order. Once complete, the fleet will be made up of two configurations of the bus model: 70 three-door for urban routes and 67 two-door for city and suburban journeys. Powered by a 70kW fuel cell and 37.5kg of hydrogen storage, the buses offer zero-emission and quiet operation. The deployment comes off the back of a partnership between TPER, city authorities and Solaris, with the vehicles’ investment co-financed by EU funds from Italy’s Recovery [...]

Reiterating comments he made at the opening ceremony yesterday, that the five million tonnes green hydrogen production target by 2030 is “very conservative”, he outlined the rapid growth in the industry since the National Hydrogen Mission was announced three years ago. With hydrogen buses in operation at the event, Puri was asked when they would be rolled out at scale. “I don’t know the timeline, but it will be faster than I can imagine,” he said. “Look at the last three years and you can we have gone from ideas to practical implementation.” The Minister said the hydrogen buses are [...]

The US engine manufacturer said the acquisition included the firm’s full IP portfolio, which includes hydrogen and battery powertrain solutions, as well as hybrid mining and rail product lines. In addition to the technology, Cummins said it is buying First Mode’s commercial portfolio, manufacturing and technical teams in Australia, the US and Chile. First Mode will operate within Cummins’ Power Systems industrial segment, with its operations expected to be fully integrated. Cummins stressed that First Mode would continue to meet customer demands through the transition. In a statement on its website, First Mode said, “We have a robust customer pipeline [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Guofu Hydrogen named Siemens as its preferred supplier and technology partner across its entire expansion plans, which include setting up manufacturing and hydrogen production in Germany. The Chinese-headquartered company, which manufactures alkaline electrolyser systems, hydrogen liquefaction systems and hydrogen refuelling systems, will work with Siemens to develop its electrolysers and kit out new factories in Germany. This will include industrial automation and instrumentation technologies, as well as electrification, industrial communication and cybersecurity solutions, under Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio. Siemens also said it would support the development, construction and operation of new hydrogen production plants. RCT [...]

The financing, secured through Hy24’s Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund, is expected to help StormFisher’s clean energy and hydrogen projects to reach a final investment decision (FID). The hydrogen and e-fuel developer has several facilities in Texas, Kansas, Minnesota, and Ontario, Canada. From its 1.8GW of renewable energy projects, StormFisher will produce green hydrogen, e-methanol, green ammonia, and e-methane. The most advanced project is located in North Texas and is expected to reach FID in early 2026, producing more than 120,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year. Through Hy24’s Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund, Pierre-Etienne Franc, Co-Founder and CEO of the joint venture [...]
