H2-View News: Partners begin UAE study on natural hydrogen power generation
The partners will assess whether the project is technically and economically viable. If successful, natural hydrogen could be used locally for power generation or industrial uses in Sharjah. Decahydron has developed technology that injects CO2 into ultramafic rocks, where it turns into solid carbon. A chemical reaction known as serpentinization permanently locks the CO2 away, while also releasing naturally occurring hydrogen trapped in those rocks. Alongside local exploration and resource partner SNOC, Decahydron plans to begin drilling in 2026 to measure how much natural hydrogen can actually be extracted in the region and how well it flows. Meanwhile, Siemens Energy [...]
H2-View News: Bosch begins in-house hydrogen production using own PEM stacks
The German technology major said the 2.5MW system, installed at its Bamberg plant, could produce up to one tonne of hydrogen per day, using renewable electricity. The containerised system, built by Schmidt Kranz Group-owned Fest, uses two of Bosch’s self-made 1.25MW Hybrion stacks, which it officially launched in April this year. Bosch will operate the system at the Bamberg site, where hydrogen will be used to conduct endurance testing on its fuel cell modules for trucks, with power generated by the fuel cells fed back into the electrolyser. Bamberg will also host a test station for the Hybrion stacks for [...]
H2-View News: Ceres to license SOFC technology to Weichai for Chinese manufacturing
Under a new manufacturing licence agreement, Weichai will produce cells and stacks for stationary power uses such as AI data centres, commercial buildings, and industry. Weichai is already a major shareholder in Ceres after a £17m investment in 2018. The Shandong-headquartered firm had originally planned to enter a joint venture with Ceres and Bosch, which fell through in 2024. However, Weichai has already been producing CE-marked SOFC systems based on Ceres’ stack technology, alongside operating a PEM fuel cell joint venture with Ballard, which has been placed on hold. Ceres has not disclosed the value of the new licence agreement [...]
H2-View News: Statkraft advances 80MW Tagdale Green Ammonia project in Shetland
The Tagdale Green Ammonia project in Shetland has already been shortlisted for UK government funding under Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2). The Norwegian state-owned energy firm plans to use renewable power to produce green hydrogen for conversion into ammonia, targeting supply to the fertiliser, shipping, and industrial sectors. With public exhibitions set to take place later this month as part of early planning, Statkraft is scheduled to begin operations on the Tagdale project by the end of 2029. Brie Foster, Statkraft’s Hydrogen Project manager, said the confirmation of the Shetland project demonstrates “the huge potential of the area” as a [...]
H2-View News: Protium begins construction of 2.5MW green hydrogen project in Wales
The British firm did originally state “Pioneer 2” would open in Q4 2024; however, the full commercial operational date has been pushed back to “early 2026.” Planning and permitting processes have been completed. Protium said in a statement that Pioneer 2 will integrate one of the UK’s largest containerised PEM electrolyser systems – a 2.5MW unit provided by Nel. At full capacity, it will provide up to one tonne of green hydrogen per day. Furthermore, the project is one of the first to participate in the UK government’s Capacity Market, which is designed to ensure there’s enough power supply to [...]
H2-View News: Green ammonia developer taps Topsoe synthesis tech for US plants
Topsoe announced Synergen Green Energy had selected the firm for its ammonia loop technology, catalysts, and equipment as it looks to develop standardised plants for green hydrogen-based ammonia production. Synergen’s first US plant is planned for Texas and is slated to have capacity to produce 210,000 tonnes of ammonia per year. The company expects to bring it online by Q4 2028, subject to final investment decision. The firm is part of Indian industrial and manufacturing conglomerate Skeiron Group, which holds companies in renewables development, logistics and infrastructure. It also has plans to build a 210,000 tonne per year plant in [...]
H2-View News: Chinese electrolyser maker makes European debut with 3MW PEM shipment
The Shenzhen-headquartered company said three of its 1MW BriLyzer-R200 PEM stacks were shipped to the unnamed customer after passing factory acceptance testing. BriHyNergy unveiled the CE-marked stack in December 2024, as it looked to expand to international markets. The stack uses the company’s own proprietary membranes and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) to produce hydrogen at 35 bar. According to its specifications, the stack consumes 45–49 kWh/kg H₂ at 78–84 % (HHV) efficiency, placing it among the most efficient PEM systems currently available. It is also manufacturing anion exchange membrane stacks. BriHyNergy already operates a semi-automated stack assembly line with 4GW [...]
H2-View News: Zepp.Solutions launches hydrogen generators to replace diesel off-grid
The generators provide a drop-in, zero-emission power source for sites where grid access is limited or demand is high. The Dutch technology firm said its new Zepp.generator series delivers up to 600kW continuous and 1MW peak power output. Each system includes all the required components, housed within standard 10-20-foot ISO containers. One 10-foot unit is already operating in the Netherlands, powering a fully electric wire-crane vessel. The generator charges the ship’s 2MWh battery packs every night. “These containerised solutions make large-scale zero-emission power accessible anywhere,” explained Jonas Brendelberger, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Zepp.Solutions. “With these systems, we’ve made hydrogen [...]
H2-View News: UlemCo awarded £1.8m loan to develop zero-emission hydrogen vehicle range
The UK-based firm plans to decarbonise hard-to-electrify vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances, and HGVs with its new range. The loan marks a step beyond UlemCo’s existing dual fuel hydrogen technology, which allows diesel engines to run partly on hydrogen. The new range will deliver fully zero-emission options, combining electric motors with hydrogen combustion or fuel-cell systems. “Our dual fuel solution enables them to quickly convert existing vehicles and reduce the use of fossil fuels,” explained Amanda Lyne, founder and Managing Director of UlemCo. “However, our goal has always been to offer zero emissions solutions too. We know that for [...]
H2-View News: These European hydrogen projects have won a share of €2.9bn
In the latest Innovation Fund round, financed through revenues from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) awarded grants to 61 Net Zero projects across 19 sectors and 18 countries. Wopke Hoekstra, Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero, and Clean Growth, said the funding will turn European climate ambitions into an industrial reality. Project developers will move into the grant agreement preparation phase with CINEA in the first half of 2026. Hydrogen transport and mobility Four transport-focused hydrogen projects in Norway, Finland, and the Czech Republic have been awarded EU Innovation Fund [...]
