The extension allows continued exploration of fossil-free hydrogen storage for supporting the Swedish energy system through ongoing tests. Hybrit is the joint-venture (JV) of a Swedish trio comprising of steel manufacturer, SSAB, and state-owned mining and energy companies, LKAB and Vattenfall. In 2022, it commissioned the pilot storage facility, situated 30 metres below ground in Svartöberget, Luleå, which allows hydrogen to replace coal and coke in the production of iron and steel to it fossil-free. Marie Anheden, Project Manager at Vattenfall, said the new permit could progress the storage cavern’s capacity to facilitate cheaper hydrogen production. “The project’s tests have [...]

Under an agreement with the Corrib joint venture between Nephin Energy and Vermilion Energy, the state-owned gas network operator will undertake feasibility studies and technical assessments for a facility at the Bellanaboy Bridge Gas Terminal. The project could use existing infrastructure, connectivity, and renewable energy potential for hydrogen production. Specifics about the prospective project, including technology choices or a development timeline, have not been revealed. Corrib is also assessing a range of energy opportunities for the site. David Kelly, CEO of GNI, said the agreement could help inform how hydrogen might play a role in existing gas grids. “It is [...]

Operating electrolysers to meet regulations for both Europe’s green and low-carbon hydrogen rules could improve utilisation rates and return on investment (ROI), according to project developer and operator Lhyfe. The French green hydrogen firm told H2 View that it is “anticipating” hybrid electrolyser configurations that could switch between producing hydrogen under Europe’s renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) and low-carbon rules.

Under a new five-year deal, the UK-based engineering firm will provide EPC services for around 41km of new pipeline and the conversion of around 89km of existing natural gas pipeline. The agreement covers the first stage of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone, intended for commission by the end of 2030, and gives Worley responsibility for technical design, tendering, and construction management. This initial project will run east from Esbjerg on Denmark’s west coast, to Veerst and then to Frøslev on the German border. It will include associated infrastructure like above-ground stations, necessary to support future export to Germany. In October 2024 [...]

The company won a RMB 3.2m ($456,000) bid to join a project focusing on cryogenic systems for a “national-level fusion research platform” at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science. Guofuhee, which has been ramping up electrolyser activity, also makes hydrogen liquefaction equipment like gas coolers, expanders, and liquid hydrogen storage tanks. While few details of its involvement in the fusion project have been revealed, the firm said the bid shows it had expanded its capabilities from hydrogen to “key components and systems integration of nuclear fusion at low temperature.” Nuclear fusion is the process found in [...]

The Electrolyser-as-a-Service agreement with gas distributor Zero Footprint Industries (ZFI) will see Waaree design, engineer, supply, install, commission, own, and operate the 2.5MW alkaline electrolyser to support ZFI’s capacity expansion. The plant will supply around 4.1 million Nm³ of green hydrogen and two million Nm³ of green oxygen annually to ZFI under a 15-year offtake agreement – equivalent to roughly 370–380 tonnes of hydrogen per year at full capacity. ZFI intends to offer the gases to customers in sectors like oil, chemicals, steel, and pharmaceuticals to replace existing grey hydrogen. Waaree expects to bring the project online in the financial [...]

The UK technology group and US conglomerate agreed to extend the long stop date of the transaction from 21 February to 21 July 2026, with an option to extend it further to 21 August 2026. The delay is related to outstanding antitrust approval. JM did not indicate any specific regulatory concerns. However, as part of the revised terms, JM has agreed to reduce the sale price of the Catalyst Technologies business to £1.325bn ($1.785bn) on a cash and debt-free basis, down from the original value of £1.8bn ($2.4bn) announced in May 2025. The reduced price reflected the division’s performance during [...]

The funding will be directed to Austrian energy company Verbund and compatriot biofuels producer AustroCel Hallein, who plan to combine green hydrogen produced by the plant with captured biogenic carbon dioxide. AustroCel’s Hallein biorefinery in Salzburg produces biomaterials via wood from the local area. Among the byproducts of AustroCel’s processes is biogenic CO2, which would be captured and combined with green hydrogen produced by the new electrolyser to generate e-methanol. The companies have not revealed specific offtakers, but a government statement said the e-methanol would help “industry and transportation” reduce CO2 emissions. The Austrian Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy and [...]

Woodside Energy has warned that demand for low-carbon hydrogen-based ammonia is growing more slowly than expected, potentially affecting plans to expand carbon capture capacity at its new Texas facility. Speaking during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call, Acting CEO and Chief Operating Officer of Australia, Elizabeth Westcott, said the firm would align its project’s carbon capture expansion with market demand.

The unvalued deal adds five green hydrogen projects in the Netherlands and Germany to Power2X’s portfolio, giving it access to a combined 1GW development pipeline. The company also said the acquisition would help develop and deliver its own projects, which include a 250,000-tonne green hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel project in the Port of Rotterdam. According to Power2X, the deal will strengthen its position as a clean fuels and feedstock supplier. Power2X CEO and founder, Occo Roelofsen, said the acquisition marks a shift from early-stage development toward project execution. “We are adding valuable and strategic projects in key industrial hubs to [...]
