H2-View News: Hydrogen UK launches young professionals network
The Young Hydrogen Professional Network will give members access to Hydrogen UK’s briefings and industry reports, as well as discounts on events, to support careers. The programme will be chaired by Megan Backhouse, Senior Project Engineer at BOC, who won the Future Hydrogen Leader Award at the trade body’s annual conference and awards last week. “This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for young professionals to connect, learn, and contribute to the future of hydrogen,” Backhouse said. The launch comes at a crucial time in the hydrogen market, where various companies have recently cut jobs as they look to reduce spending. [...]
H2-View News: Real-world use reveals flaws in hydrogen sensor performance and regs: whitepaper
The whitepaper by Druck, hosted on h2-view.com, warned that many sensors marketed “hydrogen-compatible” can suffer from issues such as drift, embrittlement, and permeation when exposed to harsh, high-pressure hydrogen environments. Hydrogen sensors are used throughout the value chain – from electrolysers and fuelling stations to pipelines and storage – providing real-time monitoring to ensure safety, efficiency and compliance. However, the paper notes that long-term drift specifications are often quoted under ideal conditions, which do not account for real-world factors such as temperature swings, hydrogen impurities, and pressure cycling. Over time, it says this can cause sensors to deviate from accurate [...]
H2-View News: Understand and work with hydrogen’s properties, urges EDF Europe head
Instead of the usual comments around regulation, investment and offtakes, she stressed the importance of understanding hydrogen’s physical and technical properties – without which, it stands to reason, the industry cannot evolve. “Many people think that hydrogen’s clean and that’s really not the case – it depends on how it is produced, managed and used,” she said. “Limiting emissions isn’t just about CO2 and methane, but hydrogen itself – it’s also an indirect greenhouse gas, and has 37 times more power than CO2 over a 20-year period. And that’s quite often being forgotten when some of these big decisions are [...]
H2-View News: Egypt and France sign $7.6bn agreement to develop green hydrogen plant
While details on the project are thin, the plans were confirmed by Egypt’s Transportation Ministry. The agreement was signed in Cairo during President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Egypt. On Monday (April 7), the two nations signed numerous strategic agreements covering health, transport and energy to help shore up Egypt’s stability. “Egypt is a strategic partner for our country,” President Macron said. “I would thus like to reaffirm France’s commitment to ensuring the stability of Egypt given the context of a worsening climate in the region and as the Egyptian economy faces challenges.” By 2030, Egypt aims to capture 5-7% of [...]

H2-View News: Trio sets sights on ‘zero-loss’ liquid hydrogen refuelling station in Dallas
Under a new partnership, the trio will integrate Bosch Rexroth’s liquid hydrogen cryopump technology and GenH2’s controlled storage systems into Hyroad’s first refuelling station located in Dallas. The station is expected to come online by 2026 and is slated to “eliminate” hydrogen boil-off losses during storage and dispensing. The station’s capacity has not been revealed. Liquid hydrogen is viewed as one of the most effective ways to transport hydrogen due to its higher energy density than compressed hydrogen. However, boil-off – which occurs when liquid hydrogen warms above -253ºC and reverts to gas – and energy conversion losses can erode [...]
H2-View News: Three-minute hydrogen-powered helicopter test flight completed in Canada
The company claimed that the project, which was showcased for the Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM), was a world first for hydrogen-powered helicopter operations. The demonstration occurred at Roland-Désourdy Airport in Bromont, Québec, on March 27, 2025. Test pilot Ric Webb flew the Robinson R44 Raven II, equipped with a dual PEM fuel cell and battery hybrid powertrain, under an experimental flight permit from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCAA). According to Unither, the three-minute, 16-second flight validated the capabilities of a hydrogen fuel cell in this use case. Approximately 90% of the flight’s energy came from the hydrogen fuel cells. [...]
H2-View News: ‘Insanity’: fuels financier shaken by potential US hydrogen U-turn and looks to Europe
The US banker credited with establishing clean energy debt financing through bonds has said he will be looking to the EU and UK for business due to the policy uncertainty unfolding in the US. John May, Managing Director at investment bank Hamilton Clark Sustainable Capital, told H2 View’s finance webinar, “The Trump administration has thrown a tremendous amount of instability and risk into everything in sustainable fuels and chemicals.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.
H2-View News: Fenix to trial hydrogen dual-fuel tech in WA haulage fleet
Under the project agreement, New Zealand’s HW Richardson Group (HWR) will provide the technology via its subsidiary Ch2nge Fuel Technologies, while Warradarge Energy plans to deliver green hydrogen from its 26MW facility in Eneabba, Western Australia. Up to 70 of Newhaul’s Volvo FH16’s Prime Movers will integrate HWR’s technology, which the company has said could reduce diesel consumption by up to 12 million litres annually across the fleet managers Mid-West operations. HWR claimed the dual-fuel hydrogen technology has already demonstrated a 40-70% diesel reduction in commercial operations in New Zealand by using a hydrogen and diesel fuel mix. Data generated [...]
