H2-View News: Plug Power to deliver 3GW electrolyser system to Australian ammonia project in 2027
After Plug signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and agreed to support the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) of the plant under a Basic Engineering and Design Package last May, they will now deliver the PEM electrolyser solutions from 2027. Read more: Plug to provide BEDP services to 3GW Australian green ammonia project Whilst this depends on a positive final investment decision (FID) on the plant, which is expected in Q2 2025, AGA plans to use the electrolysers to help produce approximately 2,700 tonnes of green hydrogen-based ammonia per day. Additionally, a 4.5GW solar plant will be installed to power the [...]
H2-View News: Maritime majors back Amogy’s ammonia-to-power tech in $56m raise
The round, co-led by existing investor Aramco Ventures and newcomer SV Investment, also saw participation from BHP Ventures, AFW Partners, Quantum Ventures Korea, Kibo Investment, Seoul IP, AP Ventures and Marunouchi Innovation Partners. Amogy plans to use the funds to commercialise its ammonia cracking technology that can be integrated with hydrogen fuel cells and engines for the maritime and stationary power sectors. H2 View understands the firm is eyeing deployments by 2026. The catalyst and reformer technology is claimed to crack ammonia at lower temperatures and in smaller footprints than commercial options, which Amogy says unlocks transportation use cases. In [...]
H2-View News: INOCEL and Equans to deliver hydrogen energy solutions from 2025
Under the new partnership, INOCEL will provide the fuel cell for a hydrogen generation component, while Equans will handle containerisation. For customers requiring a complete hydrogen production, storage and power generation solution, the two companies will combine their expertise and leverage their partner networks. In terms of applications, the product provided by the two French firms could electrify docks to limit greenhouse gas emissions in ports and provide a decarbonised powertrain and electricity generation for ships. Additionally, the solution could store intermittent renewable energies in hydrogen form for on-demand use and support load shedding and power grid balancing. The two [...]
H2-View News: Hydrogen Energy Association welcomes Dr. Emma Guthrie as new CEO
She will succeed Celia Greaves, the HEA’s founder, who led the association for two decades. Commenting on Guthrie’s appointment, she said, “This is an exciting new phase, and I am confident Emma will provide inspiration and energy as she leads the HEA forward.” Guthrie boasts 15 years of experience at Air Products, where she held numerous positions, such as UK Business Development Manager for Hydrogen Energy Systems. The HEA’s online statement explained that in her previous role, Guthrie “spearheaded the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure in cities including London and Copenhagen, through the coordination of multi-stakeholder demonstration [...]
H2-View News: UK green hydrogen scalability hinges on demand, infrastructure and financing: whitepaper
With the country’s ambition to build 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen capacity by 2030, the report, hosted on h2-view.com, warns that without decisive action, progress could stall. Focused on demand building, overcoming infrastructure and financing challenges, and ecosystem growth and risk mitigation, it calls for the government to adopt a holistic approach that aligns decarbonisation goals with economic realities. Demand creation Describing the lack of demand for green hydrogen as a “critical bottleneck” for the UK market, the paper calls for targeted measures such as carbon pricing, industry consumption quotas and subsidies to reduce the energy carrier’s cost premium. It suggests [...]
H2-View News: CIP joins ambitious 800MW green hydrogen project in northern Germany
The Danish investor has joined Friesen Elektra Green Energy in developing the now-named project Anker in the Sande municipality near Wilhelmshaven. The project is expected to initially launch with 400MW of electrolysis capacity before doubling at a “later stage,” to produce 80,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. With plans to supply steel and chemical industries, Friesen Elektra has said the site’s location is connected to high-voltage power lines to make use of renewable energy all year round. Furthermore, its proximity to the future 9,000km hydrogen core network (HCN) means it could supply hydrogen via pipeline to industrial sites across [...]
H2-View News: Maire wins $125m EPCC contract to deliver hydrogen production unit to biorefinery
Under the contract, Maire has announced KT Kinetics Technology, supported by NextChem, will develop the unit which is expected to produce around four tonnes per hour of hydrogen for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) production. Maire has commissioned NextChem to provide its NX Reform technology for the hydrogen production unit (HPU). The HPU will be delivered to the biorefinery in the Penerang Integrated Complex in Johor, Malaysia, which is expected to become operational in 2028. Once operations have begun, Pengerang Biorefinery Sdn wants to produce approximately 650,000 tonnes per year of raw materials such as vegetable [...]
H2-View News: New Mexico co-op lands $231m for hydrogen, solar and wastewater energy project
Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) said it would be using the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop 104MW of power production from green hydrogen and solar with battery energy storage systems (BESS). The firm plans to produce green hydrogen from repurposed wastewater from a former mining site in the village of Questa and create energy storage technology that could last up to 16 hours. Hydrogen produced through electrolysis will be stored and converted back to electricity when solar and battery storage cannot meet local power demands. Hoped to enhance system reliability, KCEC has said the project “aims to reduce [...]
H2-View News: Partners test and validate liquid hydrogen engine for light aviation market
The three companies conducted tests at Air Liquide’s Grenoble Technologies Campus in France last September, completing a ground demonstration testing of the aeroengine based on an ultra-efficient regenerative cycle and fed from a liquid hydrogen tank. This followed a demonstration test in January 2024 as part of the BeautHyFuel project, designed to explore hydrogen propulsion solutions for light aircraft. An initial engine qualification test campaign was undertaken at ArianeGroup’s French site in Vernon. Here, hydrogen fuel was stored in gaseous form to perform an initial characterisation of the engine, before the engine was coupled to a cryogenic liquid storage system [...]
H2-View News: Rzeszów’s hydrogen bus plans hit roadblock as Polenergia backs out of 15-year supply deal
Last October, Polenergia’s H2Hub Nowa Sarzyna business unit secured a 15-year contract to deliver hydrogen for 20 buses as part of a PLN 120 million ($29m) bid, despite MPK Rzeszów, the city’s public transport company, only budgeting for PLN 86m ($21m). However, Polenergia announced its withdrawal from the tender on January 9, 2025, stating, “Subsidiary Polenergia H2HUB Nowa Sarzyna has identified circumstances preventing the conclusion of the public procurement contract no. DW.TZ.1.2024 for ‘Supply and Distribution of Hydrogen Fuel.’” It is uncertain whether Polenergia’s withdrawal will derail the city’s plans to introduce hydrogen-powered public transport. Rzeszów received around PLN 70m [...]
