H2-View News: BrightHy to deliver electrolyser and refuelling station under €1.7m contract
The Fusion Fuel subsidiary has already begun engineering work for the project, and production of key equipment is underway. The engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the initiative, BrightHy, expects to commission and deliver the production and refuelling project next year. Production volumes have not been disclosed, but the €1.7m contract value suggests a relatively small electrolyser module. No financing arrangements, long-term supply contracts or offtake agreements have been announced. Luis Galdo, BrightHy’s Chief Commercial Officer, said the agreement is a “significant step forward” for the company and the “rapid build-out of hydrogen infrastructure across southern Europe.” The contract comes [...]
H2-View News: BT leads UK’s ‘first’ long-range hydrogen-powered drone trial
The Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone took off from Llanbedr, Wales, and flew into Eryri National Park and up to 10km offshore. Alongside uAvionix and BVLOS specialist operator Skyfarer, BT and IE aimed to demonstrate that the hydrogen-powered application could safely reach the current range limit set by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. “The trial was another strong validation of what hydrogen fuel cells can achieve in UAV applications,” according to Andy Kelly, Head of Product Line at Intelligent Energy. The British technology firm provided its IE-SOAR system, which can deliver power from 800W to 2.4kW for commercial and [...]
H2-View News: Vienna’s Wiener Linien to deploy 10 hydrogen buses on Line 39A
The operator will convert its bus route 39A to run entirely on hydrogen buses, which have been manufactured and supplied by Portugal’s CaetanoBus. The 12-metre vehicles will seat 78 passengers and feature 70kW fuel cell systems supplied by Toyota. Five 7.5kg hydrogen tanks are stored on the roof, and the buses will have a range of at least 400km. Municipal energy firm Wien Energie will reportedly supply green hydrogen from the Smart Campus of Wiener Netze – Vienna’s electricity, gas, and district heating network operator. Renewable energy produced at the facility will power a Wien Energie electrolyser to support local [...]
H2-View News: OCI divests ammonia logistics arm to Agrofert for €290m
The sale of OCI Ammonia Holding includes the OCI Terminal Europoort (OTE), a large import and storage terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and OCI Ammonia Distribution (OAD), which delivers ammonia to external European customers. However, OCI noted that it is still “evaluating strategic options” for its Geleen nitrogen fertiliser and ammonia plant in the Netherlands, a signal that the site could be earmarked for partial or full divestment or further restructuring. The transaction between OCI and Agrofert is expected to close in H1 2026, subject to obtaining certain regulatory approvals, completing customary closing procedures, and shareholder approval. After two years [...]
H2-View News: Xing’an League outlines plans for green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol cluster
The prefecture-level region in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region also wants to produce two million tonnes of green ammonia and three million tonnes of green methanol at Xing’an’s Economic and Technological Development Zone. Six billion yuan ($840m) has already been invested in infrastructure, according to Gao Tianyu, director of the Administrative Committee of the zone, to help implement and develop the production projects. The zone claims to have attracted interest from major renewable energy companies, including Goldwind, CGN, and Mingyang. However, no timelines, developers, technologies, or financing structures have been disclosed, and many such regional targets in China remain conceptual [...]
H2-View News: We used permitting delays to improve final waste-to-hydrogen plant output: Raven CEO
Raven SR’s newly awarded Authority to Construct for its long-delayed California waste-to-hydrogen plant has broken the logjam that stalled progress over three years – paving the way for a ground-breaking ceremony as early as February 2026. CEO Matt Murdock told H2 View about the extensive and often unexpected hurdles the company faced during the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) review process.

H2-View News: Thyssenkrupp Nucera expects profit but warns of further green hydrogen decline
In its preliminary, unaudited results, the firm anticipates sales of €845m ($974m), down from €862m ($993.8m) a year earlier, resulting in expected earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of around €2m ($2.3m). Group sales came in below previously revised sales forecasts of €850m–€920m ($989m–€1.06bn), while the EBIT landed in the upper half of the guidance range of -€7m to €7m (–$8.1m to $8.1m). The green hydrogen segment reported €459m ($529m), down from €524m ($604m) in 2023/2024, but within the projected €450m–€510m ($519m–$588m). EBIT loss in the segment also improved to –€56m (–$65m) from –€75m (–$86.5m). The chlor-alkali division increased sales [...]
H2-View News: Greenlyte commissions hydrogen-based synthetic methane pilot in Germany
The demonstration uses Greenlyte’s fully electric, modular LiquidSolar system, which captures CO2, produces green hydrogen, converts both into syngas, and synthesises this into e-fuels such as synthetic natural gas, e-methanol, or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at “fossil-competitive costs.” As a proof-of-concept facility, the company expects to produce up to five tonnes of synthetic natural gas (SNG) whilst also capturing 40 tonnes of CO2 per year. Greenlyte says the plant went from engineering to inauguration in under 12 months, with final construction completed in less than three, supported by more than 13,000 hours of pilot operation. The German start-up added that [...]
H2-View News: ExxonMobil pauses major blue hydrogen project amid offtake struggles, reports
ExxonMobil has paused plans for its giant blue hydrogen production plant in Texas, US, according to new reports. CEO Darren Woods reportedly told Reuters that the company has been struggling to secure sufficient offtake from the one billion cubic feet per day plant, which had been targeting start-up in 2027-2028. Unveiled in 2022, the project was intended to be developed within Exxon’s Baytown refining and chemicals complex to produce hydrogen from natural gas while capturing a high share of carbon dioxide emissions.

H2-View News: Möhring Energie announces 1GW green hydrogen and ammonia plans in Mauritania
Set to be scaled in stages up to 1GW, the industrial plant is expected to produce 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year from 2029. Around 500km² has been allocated for the first phase, with the site expandable to 1,600km² on terrain that “offers the best solar and wind conditions” for renewable energy. Möhring will begin developing the plant with a smaller 100MW “fast-track” stage. The German energy and engineering group inked a strategic framework agreement to develop the Nayrah project with the Mauritanian government. The green ammonia produced in southern Mauritania will be [...]
