If the collaboration advances past the Memorandum of Understanding, H2Global intermediary Hintco will potentially contract Omani hydrogen producers under long-term purchase agreements, providing revenue certainty for large-scale projects. Produced hydrogen or derivative fuels, such as ammonia, would be sold under shorter-term contracts to buyers in Europe or Asia, with the price gap bridged through public or climate finance. Oman’s approach to hydrogen will be built on clear structures, long-term vision, and credible delivery, according to Abdulaziz Al Shidhani, Hydrom’s Managing Director. “Exploring models like H2Global allows us to test and refine our own systems, ensuring that as global mechanisms evolve, [...]

The government-backed Speyside Hydrogen initiative was rejected after councillors suggested environmental and community risks outweighed the economic and decarbonisation benefits of the plans. H2 View understands that opponents said water scarcity and ecological risks were inadequately addressed, raising concerns over River Spey abstraction and biodiversity. Speyside’s Hydrogen Opportunity Manager Christina Smitton reportedly opposed this, suggesting the Marypark site was “ideally placed” and that the proposed water use was minimal at just 0.05% of the Spey’s flow. Adversaries also pointed to limited local benefits – just 30 new jobs, according to Storegga – as community and fisheries groups joined in opposition, [...]

The non-repayable loans, provided under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO), will finance electrolyser installations and related infrastructure, with a minimum capacity of 20MW. Beneficiaries aiming to produce low-emission hydrogen or in line with the EU’s rules for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO). Polish oil and gas firm Orlen SA will receive the most financial backing with PLN 1.2bn ($293m). Meanwhile, other recipients included PLN 523m ($128m) for Lotos Green H2, Tauron Inwestycje with PLN 127.8m ($31m), PLN 123m ($30m) for Promet-Plast SC, and Bioagra with PLN 127.6m ($31m). Specifically, Orlen and Lotos are expected to use the funding to expand electrolyser capacity and [...]

The Swiss OEM’s narrow-gauge hydrogen units will run across Mount Etna’s volcanic terrain, bringing FCE’s total orders of Stadler trains for the Italian market to 19. Under the contract, Stadler could supply a further 13 vehicles of the same type. The initial supply order also includes five years of full service and technical spare parts. The vehicles will be designed and built at Stadler’s Bussnang headquarters and feature a central power pack unit containing the fuel cells and hydrogen tanks. They will also feature a lightweight design of under 11 tonnes per axle to ensure the trains can run safely [...]

The competition will take place until October 11 in Qiddiya City, Riyadh, and will see 16 drivers compete in off-road fuel cell-powered vehicles across eight teams. Every team must field one male and one female driver in time trials, head-to-head duels, and multi-car battles, finishing in an eight-car final. Extreme H, formally Extreme E, signed an agreement with the FIA last year to transition the championship into a World Cup format over one weekend. Extreme E ended its 2024 race calendar early as it focused its attention on the 2025 hydrogen-fuelled season. Hoped to underline motorsport’s “vital role” as a [...]

The John Cockerill and Technip Energies joint venture (JV) will assist with plant definition studies, technical feasibility, and support for permitting for the H4 Marseille Fos project. “Leveraging our engineering expertise and our standardisation approach, we are committed to advancing this landmark project towards the next development stages, and its final investment decision (FID),” explained Rely’s CEO Damien Eyriés. While it’s currently in the pre-front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase, the developers plan to utilise 300MW of electrolysers to produce green hydrogen in the future. Up to 75,000 tonnes of e-SAF will be produced once operational in 2030. A methanol-to-jet [...]

The steel wire transformation and coating technologies firm said it intended to “temporarily” stop making electrolyser components at its Bekintex site in Wetteren, in a move that is expected to have a “direct impact” on 24 jobs. The company makes porous transport layers (PTLs) for PEM and AEM systems which distribute electrical current and fluid across the surface of electrolyser membranes. It’s unclear just how many electrolyser OEMs the company supplies due to the confidentiality surrounding such contracts. However, in 2024, it licensed its Membrane Electrode Assembly technology to Toshiba. “With a low market demand in the short-term and an [...]

Under the deal, the investor exercises warrants issued in March 2025 to buy 185 million shares at $2 each. In return, the investor received new warrants to purchase the same number of shares later at $7.75 – almost double the company’s current share price. The structure gives Plug a near-term cash injection to support operations and improve liquidity. The US green hydrogen firm also highlighted the potential to raise a further $1.4bn if new warrants are exercised in the future. “No assurance can be given that any of the new warrants will be exercised,” the company said in its statement. [...]

The French industrial gas major said it would upgrade its pipeline system and install new compression and distribution equipment after inking new hydrogen supply agreements with two unnamed US refiners. The firm has not disclosed the contracted volumes or production method. However, it is likely its existing grey hydrogen production capacity in the region will be used. Air Liquide currently operates almost 2,000 miles of industrial gas pipelines in the region, supplying oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to customers in Texas and Louisiana. The network also connects to its hydrogen salt cavern storage facility in Texas, which has capacity for over [...]

The German energy major said the application for its Humber H2ub project submitted to North Lincolnshire Council included an Environmental Impact Assessment, and followed its own public consultation programme. It is due to be built at Uniper’s existing Killingholme site and supply hydrogen to Phillips 66’s Humber Refinery to replace fuel gas in heaters. Uniper selected ITM Power’s electrolysers for the project. During the planning process, public comments will be able to be submitted, with the Council due to undertake its own consultation. The project was shortlisted by the UK government for funding under the second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), [...]
