In a new report, the associations made 11 recommendations that could slash electrolytic hydrogen prices by lowering electricity costs, which account for around 70% of the final cost of green hydrogen. If implemented, the bodies say electrolytic hydrogen costs – currently £241/MWh (£8.02/kg) under its first hydrogen allocation round (HAR1) – could fall below £100/MWh (£3.33/kg).

Westwood Global Energy forecasts that approximately nine final investment decisions (FIDs) will be made in the European hydrogen sector in 2025, potentially involving larger-scale projects than those approved in 2024. The analyst estimates that up to 500MW of hydrogen production projects could reach a final investment decision (FID) this year. Notable projects include Uniper’s 131MW Green Hydrogen Wilhelmshaven initiative, Renato’s 329MW Catalina P2X project, and the first three developments to secure contracts under the UK’s HAR 1 scheme.

The hydrogen-powered commercial vehicle manufacturer has been developing its AI Emissions Reduction Technology, which serves as an important part of its strategy by optimising efficiencies and reducing emissions. Furthermore, the deal also enhances HVS’ eligibility for the £1bn ($1.2bn) Qatar-UK Climate Tech Fund, a joint initiative between the two countries designed to support and scale climate technology solutions. “Thanks to its resources and expertise, the Middle East is also uniquely positioned to lead the global hydrogen charge and is already making significant progress,” HVS CEO, Abdul Waheed explained. “Our mission is to optimise diesel trucks for cleaner performance today while [...]

The green hydrogen was produced at Halcyon Power’s 1.25MW project in Taupo, New Zealand which uses electricity generated by the nearby Mokai geothermal power plant. An unspecified amount of hydrogen was then transported from the Port of Auckland to Lautoka Port in gas cylinders. It took about a week to transport the green hydrogen before it was utilised for a DF generator installed at Fiji Gas LPG Lautoka Terminal. A press statement released by Obayashi said the generator “successfully supplied electricity by adjusting the hydrogen flow rate to align with the facility’s electricity demand.” H2 View understands that this marked [...]

Nel announced on LinkedIn that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the South Korean power utility to collaborate on clean hydrogen production technology. Since 2022, KHNP has been researching pink hydrogen – electrolytic production powered by nuclear electricity – and is currently carrying out a demonstration project. Details on the deal remain slim. However, with the pair intending to “expand into global clean hydrogen markets,” it could be a move from Nel to secure the future for its alkaline systems. Earlier this month the company announced it would halt production of its alkaline electrolysers at its flagship [...]

The 10MW electrolyser will generate data in test operation conditions to enable “comprehensive optimisation” of the plant operations, as well as the assembly and service concept of the electrolyser. Additionally, potential customers and project developers will be able to visit the demonstration plant from mid-2025, to give them valuable insights into the construction phases, dimensions, inner workings and infrastructure required. Throughout the course of 2025, the plant will be assembled ahead of first test operations in 2026. Last December, the two companies installed the freshwater treatment for the plant. Furthermore, the development has been funded as part of the PEP.IN [...]

Symbio has announced that it is the “first” hydrogen fuel cell technology player in Europe to achieve the IATF 16949 certification, the automotive industry’s reference standard. Bureau Veritas granted Symbio the certification, which is based on the principles of ISO 9001, ensuring that products and services meet the quality standards of automotive manufacturers, “certifying their quality and reliability.” In the French company’s online press statement, Philippe Rosier, CEO of Symbio, said this marks a “major strategic milestone for a Tier 1 supplier.” Rosier added, “The certification of Symbio and its first gigafactory, SymphonHy, is a recognition of the Group’s organisational [...]

The renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) pre-certification under the CertifHy scheme applies to Hygenco’s planned 1.1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) green ammonia plant at Tata Steel’s Special Economic Zone Industrial Park in Odisha. Under the EU’s RFNBO rules, for green hydrogen to be classed as ‘renewable’, both domestic European producers and prospective overseas exports must comply with criteria such as additionality, hourly matching and geographical correlation. Read more: The impact of Europe’s renewable hydrogen complexity In December, Bureau Veritas’ CertiHy scheme was officially recognised by the European Commission to issue RFNBO certification.

The Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, through its state-owned enterprise Enova, granted NOK 129m ($11.4m) in funding support, which enabled the two companies to make the FID. The Bodø Hydrogen Project, located at Langstranda, will have a 20MW electrolyser capacity in phase one and an annual production of up to 3,100 tonnes of green hydrogen. An additional 10MW could be introduced in phase two to increase production capacity to 4,800 tonnes per year. The hydrogen produced will fuel the Vestfjorden ferry connection, operated by Torghatten Nord, which is now scheduled to begin operations in 2026 following a one-year delay. [...]
