H2-View News: Policy must be more effective on green hydrogen: Wood Mac
The development of the still-nascent opportunity in green hydrogen needs a boost in the year ahead to begin to realise its potential more speedily. That assessment was made by Murray Douglas, an analyst for Wood Mackenzie, in his presentation that launched the group’s Hydrogen Conference 2025 in London. The Vice-President for Hydrogen and Derivatives Research said policy headwinds were still holding hydrogen back, meaning that opportunities in legacy sectors with established hydrogen needs offered the clearest investment case today.

Hydrogen Council News: Global alliance launches LEAF Initiative at COP30 to scale low-emission ammonia fertilizers
BELÉM, November 12, 2025 – An alliance of first-mover governments, international organisations, and businesses from the food, agriculture, fertilizer, sustainable fuels, and manufacturing sectors has united at COP30 in Brazil to accelerate scale adoption of low-emission ammonia-based fertilizers through the Low-Emission Ammonia Fertilizer (LEAF) Initiative. Nitrogen fertilizers are essential to global food security, supporting the harvests that feed communities worldwide. Yet conventional ammonia-based fertilizer production accounts for 510 MT of greenhouse gas emissions globally – a footprint comparable to Brazil’s or Germany’s total annual emissions. Reducing these emissions while maintaining essential nutrient supply and safeguarding food security and affordability requires [...]
H2-View News: Ryze Power to redistribute unused hydrogen from Quest One’s electrolyser gigahub
At Quest’s gigawatt-scale PEM electrolyser hub in Hamburg, a tube trailer will redistribute hydrogen generated during R&D and end-of-line testing. Under a Joint Customer Solution agreement, the partners aim to “enable end-to-end hydrogen supply,” to connect production with industrial and mobility users across Europe. “Every day, our tube trailers are delivering hydrogen to our customers across Germany and the rest of Europe,” explained Leander Hoffmann, Managing Director at Ryze Power Germany. “This is not a concept, or a trial, but a reality for businesses across the country who cannot electrify their operations and want to decarbonise with renewable fuels. The [...]
H2-View News: Hydrogen groups back low-emission ammonia fertiliser initiative at COP30
The Low-Emission Ammonia Fertilizer (LEAF) initiative, backed by the Hydrogen Council, United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and others, builds off a Public-Private Action Statement to reduce costs and build demand for cleaner nitrogen-based fertilisers. Current nitrogen fertiliser production accounts for around 1% of global emissions, with the majority of carbon dioxide stemming from hydrogen generation by steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas. In a report prepared by the Hydrogen Council, over 80% of that CO2 footprint could be abated with technologies that already exist. This suggests a focus on retrofitting existing SMR units [...]
H2-View News: Green hydrogen in US is challenging without perfect conditions, says Chevron
Chevron’s news energy lead says scaling green hydrogen in the US today demand perfect conditions, as uneven policy and tightening incentives make replication of the company’s green hydrogen energy storage project difficult. Robert Nunmaker, who is General Manager, Commercial & Sales at Chevron New Energies, was speaking in an interview at Wood Mackenzie’s Hydrogen Conference 2025 in London. “In our case, we have our ACES Delta project in Utah, which we are working on with partners as the majority stakeholder.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or [...]
H2-View News: China drives clean hydrogen growth as legacy FIDs slow, says Wood Mac
Industrial gas and fertiliser firms were the drivers of clean hydrogen growth through to 2023, but China has now taken over as the main driver of development. That was one of the takeaways from Wood Mackenzie analyst Murray Douglas, speaking at the analyst group’s Hydrogen Summit 2025 in London today. He said Chinese players were beginning to “break out” and in the process bring down the cost of green hydrogen. Douglas, who is Vice-President for Hydrogen and Derivatives Research, told attendees the past few years had seen a “defensive slowdown” in clean hydrogen capacity reaching final investment decision (FID) in [...]
H2-View News: European Commission opens call for hydrogen suppliers under Hydrogen Mechanism
Announced in June as part of the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB), the tool is designed to improve market transparency, aggregate data, and connect producers, infrastructure players, and consumers. The bloc has launched a call for interest targeting producers of green and low-carbon hydrogen and derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, and eSAF. In the future, buyers from industrial, energy, or transport companies can express interest in those supply offers once the Commission publishes anonymised information. The submission phase runs until 2 January 2026, with the call and expression of interest opening on 19 January. Policymakers have claimed the platform will provide [...]
H2-View News: DNV grants ‘first’ AiP for onboard hydrogen generation from LNG
While LNG produces less CO2 and NOx emissions than conventional fuels, it still contributes to greenhouse gases. Hycamite’s Thermo-Catalytic Decomposition (TCD) technology splits the methane in LNG into hydrogen and solid carbon, such as graphite. The generated hydrogen can be used to power dual-fuel engines or fuel cells cleanly, while the solid carbon is stored onboard instead of being released as CO2. DNV awarded the Finnish technology firm an Approval in Principle (AiP) for its concept design of the pre-combustion, solid-form carbon capture system. The award “confirms the feasibility of the design and ensures there are no significant technical obstacles [...]
H2-View News: Why Cummins’ electrolyser bet has stalled and what comes next
In a sector currently oversupplied with electrolysers, it’s unsurprising that Cummins is struggling to find customers for its hydrogen production systems. For those glancing over the US-based engine maker’s balance sheet, Q3 2025 saw some good results for its Accelera segment. The subsidiary, which holds Cummins’ e-mobility and electrolyser products, increased sales by 10% to $121m in the quarter.

H2-View News: Plug Power’s electrolyser business leads Q3 results as firm targets record year
The US green hydrogen firm said it has 230MW of electrolyser programmes underway across Europe, Australia and North America, with GenEco revenue rising 13% year-on-year to $65m. Overall electrolyser revenues rose 43% in the quarter, driven by the delivery of a 10MW system to Galp’s 100MW Sines project in Portugal. Outgoing CEO Andy Marsh said most of the remaining equipment will be shipped in Q4, while an additional 25MW of containerised systems have already been supplied to Iberdrola and BP in Spain. Incoming CEO and Chief Revenue Officer José Crespo said Plug’s $8bn electrolyser pipeline “remains very active,” with project [...]
