A project once touted as Canada’s flagship green hydrogen export development has been shelved, casting doubt over future hydrogen trade between Canada and Germany. World Energy GH2 has put its 1.2GW green hydrogen and ammonia project in Newfoundland and Labrador on ice after failing to secure any offtake agreements.

Europe’s hydrogen developers will largely turn their backs on costly green hydrogen compliance in 2026, with member states also expected to quietly drop industrial mandates. That’s the opinion of Wood Mackenzie in its 2026 predictions for the clean hydrogen market.

The company delivered a 5MW pressurised alkaline system to an unnamed customer in Europe, with the unit “tailored” to meet the region’s regulatory requirements. Longi said the product was developed under ASME codes and certified to CE pressure equipment directive requirements, specifically to meet European regulations. It marks Longi’s broader push to position itself as a supplier for European hydrogen developers. The company’s President, Ma Jun, called Europe “one of the most secure markets for green hydrogen” and spoke of a future supporting Europe to build a “greener, more stable, and more resilient energy system.” Longi has been tying up [...]

The achievement comes off the back of a German-funded research project carried out by the company’s KS Gleitlager subsidiary to develop “noble metal-free” electrodes. The E2ngel project saw KS Gleitlager work with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and now-bankrupt electrolyser maker McPhy to qualify the new technology. Rheinmetall said the DLR Institute of Technical Thermosystems tested several variants, while McPhy trialled them to ensure suitability for use in its alkaline electrolysers. It claims the innovation will reduce green hydrogen production costs by reducing capital costs, while also “doubling” power density and improving efficiency by more than 10%. This could tackle [...]

The DeBary production storage system, located in Volusia County, Florida, uses an existing 74.5MW solar plant to power two 1MW electrolyser units, producing hydrogen stored on-site for use in a combustion turbine. By converting excess daytime solar power into hydrogen and storing it for later use, the system allows renewable energy to be dispatched when it is most needed, rather than when it is generated. During periods of peak electricity demand, the system delivers stored hydrogen to a gas turbine recently upgraded by Massachusetts-based GE Vernova, capable of running on natural gas-hydrogen blends or up to 100% hydrogen. Duke Energy [...]

The pair have reached a non-binding agreement to advance discussions on setting up joint platforms focused on refining, chemicals, trading, green molecules, low-carbon fuels, and mobility fuel. If approved, it would see two new platforms established: a mobility segment focused on fuel retail, convenience, and mobility services; and an industrial arm for refining, trading, chemicals, and low-carbon fuels, including biofuels and hydrogen. The companies expect to reach an agreement by mid-2026. “We have the opportunity to create major European players in Iberia,” said Galp Chair Paula Amorim. “This opportunity reinforces our ability to support and promote a just energy transition.” [...]

The company named Norwegian Hydrogen the preferred hydrogen supplier for its two SeaShuttle vessels that are set to begin operating between the Netherlands and Norway in 2027. Under a memorandum of understanding inked in December, Norwegian Hydrogen will deliver fuel for the vessels from its 25MW Rjukan liquid green hydrogen, which reached final investment decision last April. Samskip’s two 135m, 500-TEU SeaShuttle vessels will feature a hydrogen propulsion system combining a cryogenic storage unit for liquid green hydrogen with 3.2MW of fuel cells. The SeaShuttles plan to operate on Samskip’s route between Rotterdam and Oslo by Q2 2027. With Rjukan [...]

The aluminium leisure vessel, measuring 17.4m weighs 32 tonnes, has a top speed of 20 knots, powered by two 100kW fuel cells and four 92kW lithium-ion batteries. This hydrogen fuel-cell and battery-based propulsion system, designed for use in small vessels up to large passenger and merchant ships, has obtained certification from the Korea Maritime Safety Authority and the Korean Register. The South Korea-based company held a launch ceremony for the ship at its headquarters in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, having started construction in October 2024. Vinssen says the vessel operates quietly without emitting nitrogen oxides, fine dust or carbon dioxide. The firm’s [...]

The Chinese hydrogen technology firm said it signed a pre-purchase agreement to supply electrolysers, filling stations, multi-unit gas containers, as well as EPC services to Australia’s Line Hydrogen, which is 14% owned by Guofuhee. The kit will be installed at Line’s project near Bell Bay in Tasmania, which plans to initially produce 1.69 tonnes of green hydrogen per day to supply mobility applications. Originally planned for commissioning in late 2025, the project is yet to break ground, but is expected to scale up to produce almost 15 tonnes of hydrogen daily. The project will be collocated with the 4.95MW Bell [...]

HUI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Saudi systems integrator Hydrogen Systems to establish a non-binding framework for collaboration. HUI says the partnership with Hydrogen Systems will strengthen local execution capability, reduce delivery risk, and lay the groundwork for engagement with the Saudi Investment Recycling Company, supporting the deployment of HUI facilities across Saudi Arabia. It could see the UK-based developer act as the operator of plasma-enhanced melter technology from US-based InEnTec in the MENA region, after the pair signed an exclusive license agreement. InEnTec says its combustion-free technology converts difficult-to-treat waste into hydrogen-rich syngas using a combination of [...]
