Tsubame BHB said its small-scale synthesis unit, using a proprietary electride catalyst, produced ammonia at Inpex Corporation’s blue hydrogen demonstration plant in Kashiwazaki. The complex came online last November, producing blue hydrogen using Japanese natural gas, with captured carbon dioxide stored in the depleted Hirai gas field. Some of the hydrogen produced by the facility has been supplied to Tsubame’s 500-tonne per year ammonia unit, which uses electrides – where electrons act as negative ions – from “inexpensive cement materials.” The electride catalyst breaks the bonds of nitrogen molecules to allow hydrogen to be synthesised with it into ammonia. The [...]

The company signed a funding agreement with Austria’s state-owned promotional bank to secure the funds from the nation’s green hydrogen project subsidy auction. The project in Bruck an der Leitha will install 140MW of Siemens Energy PEM electrolysers to produce up to 23,000 tonnes of green hydrogen that will displace grey hydrogen used in OMV’s Schwechat refinery. Last November, UAE renewables major Masdar acquired a 49% stake in the project, with plans to form a joint venture with OMV to build out the plant. The joint venture is expected to be concluded in the coming months. Scheduled to go into [...]

Green hydrogen projects past the final investment decision (FID) stage in Germany increased to almost 1GW between Q2 2024 and Q4 2025, making it Western Europe’s biggest market, according to new ICIS research. The commodity intelligence firm’s analysis of German green hydrogen supply found projects that have progressed beyond FID had a combined capacity of 933MW in Q4 2025, up from 187MW in Q2 2024.

Indian Railways, along with the Research Designs and Standards Organization, has completed preparations for the train’s maiden journey between Jind and Sonipat. According to local reports, the train will travel up to 180km using 369kg of hydrogen at a speed of up to 110km per hour. The Indian government has hailed the hydrogen-powered train as the world’s longest, with ten coaches, and the most powerful, with two driving power cars producing 2.4MW from hydrogen fuel cells combined. The train will be refuelled using green hydrogen produced by a 1MW PEM electrolyser facility in Jind, which is currently in its final [...]

South Korea EPC firm Samsung E&A announced the 500,000-tonne plant for Wabash Valley Resources could come online in 2029 at the site of an idled coal gasification facility. The project was recently backed by the US Department of Energy with a $1.5bn loan in a move to reduce ammonia fertiliser imports. The plant will use a local mine as a feedstock, reacting coal with oxygen and steam to produce syngas – a combination of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Syngas will be put through a water-gas shift reaction to increase hydrogen yield while generating carbon dioxide. Samsung E&A said it would [...]

The method turns sugars from biomass (such as agricultural waste cellulose) into hydrogen and another useful chemical, formate, at the same time, the researchers said. This could be cheaper and may use less energy than standard solar electrolysis that only splits water, because the sugar oxidation replaces the energy-intensive oxygen evolution reaction typically required at the anode. The findings from the Singapore Energy Center, Singapore Ministry of Education Academic Research Fund, National Research Foundation Singapore, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China were published in the eScience journal. The teams used a copper-doped cobalt catalyst to steer sugar reactions [...]

The fuel cell maker will collaborate with an unnamed US-based data centre for field trials of the systems, which will be delivered on a 6-12 month lease term starting in Q1 2026. The two PS190s will be integrated with PowerCell’s distributed master controller, a software platform that optimises multiple fuel cell units in a unified system. The PS190 is part of PowerCell’s new stationary power generation systems portfolio. These systems are offered as stand-alone systems or as building blocks to be integrated into powering rooms or larger plants. PowerCell claims the systems will complement existing power solutions where capacity is [...]

The company reserved 87MW of power from the Vesfn municipality’s existing hydropowered grid to support the project’s first 30 tonnes per day phase, as it looks toward final investment decision (FID). Planned to be built in Nesbruket, Mosjøen, which sits at the end of a 48km fjord, the plant is expected to supply maritime applications in the region. “The capacity reservation provides the predictability we need to move the project towards [an FID] and construction start,” said Len Halvari, Gen2 CEO. Halvari also emphasised the project’s importance in reducing emissions in the maritime sector and creating new jobs and industrial [...]

The vessel will be built at Kawasaki’s Sakaide Works in Kagawa Prefecture and is anticipated to begin operating in the early 2030s, aligning with Japan’s plans to scale up imported hydrogen supply. Designed by KHI, the vessel will be based on the Suiso Frontier, which completed the world’s first liquid hydrogen export from Australia to Japan in 2022, but at a scale more than 30 times smaller. KHI said the vessel will use an insulation system to reduce boil-off, which occurs when liquid hydrogen warms above -253ºC and reverts to gas. Additionally, it will be equipped with an electric propulsion [...]

The Dublin-based firm said BrightHy would receive the funds from an unnamed “green energy technologies provider” after signing a non-binding term sheet in 2025. The deal sees Bright Hydrogen Holdings established, with the unnamed partner as a majority shareholder, which will serve as a standalone investment vehicle for future projects. Under the deal, BrightHy remains a wholly-owned Fusion Fuel subsidiary, but will act as the exclusive developer and manager of projects being undertaken by the investment vehicle. Project funding and ownership will sit with Bright Hydrogen Holdings, with individual project companies financed and approved at the holding company level. The [...]
