Under the deal with ILDO F&C, the duo aims to deliver composite-based lightweight bipolar plates with high corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and customisable surface options, without the need for conductive coatings. Bipolar plates in fuel cells distribute hydrogen and oxygen, conduct electricity and manage heat and water by-products. Typically, they are made from metal sheets with channels machined or etched on. However, the pair claim composite plates could deliver “lower tooling costs, enhanced operability through hydrophilic/hydrophobic options, resistance to degradation caused by metal-ion leaching, and weight reduction.” Vinssen has been focused on developing fuel cell propulsion systems for maritime applications [...]

Conducted under its IS2H4C project, the company swapped a conventional gas burner for a hydrogen burner in a ladle heating step at its Basauri steel plant. Sidenor said the hydrogen burner achieved the same temperatures as the conventional process, demonstrating hydrogen’s technical viability in this application. However, Sidenor is yet to announce a full-scale rollout of the technology. Sidenor produces speciality steel at two main steelworks in Spain, located in Basauri and Azkoitia, with additional downstream and forging operations, including a plant in Reinosa. The trial comes as analysts warn that large-scale green steel production remains more than a decade [...]

Under the agreement, Verne will use the proposed hydrogen supply to provide on-site, low-emission power and cooling solutions to its data centre customers. According to the company’s statement, hydrogen production is expected to ramp up to more than 36,000 tonnes per year over the contract, subject to the successful deployment of pilot wells and project development. However, Vema Hydrogen, which is developing engineered mineral hydrogen technologies, is not yet producing hydrogen commercially. The company says its technology can accelerate naturally occurring subsurface reactions to generate hydrogen at scale. It’s currently exploring multiple prospective pilot sites in North America and has [...]

Carol Howle, current Executive Vice-President, Supply, Trading & Shipping, will serve as interim CEO until April. Auchincloss will serve in an advisory role until December 2026. O’Neill, currently CEO of Woodside Energy, oversaw the acquisition of BHP Petroleum International. Before joining Woodside Energy in 2018, she spent 23 years at ExxonMobil in technical, operational and leadership positions. Albert Manifold, Chair of BP, said her “relentless focus” on business improvement will prepare the multinational firm for its next growth phase. “The board believes this transition creates an opportunity to accelerate our strategic vision to become a simpler, leaner, and more profitable [...]

Hydrogen pipeline compression is capital-intensive, with conventional metal impellers limited in how fast they can operate, forcing operators to use multiple compressor stages. Greene Tweed says its composite design could allow a higher compression per stage, reducing equipment size, cost, and maintenance requirements. The US-based manufacturer explained its impeller is made from carbon-fibre-reinforced PEEK, allowing it to reach tip speeds of 688 m/s in testing, almost double those of typical closed metallic impellers. Following initial testing, Greene Tweed is now working with centrifugal compressor OEMs to integrate the design into commercial hydrogen compression systems. “Our goal was to create a [...]

The firm will provide two 120MW plants to Synergen Green Energy for its flagship green ammonia project planned for Texas, as part of a front-end engineering design agreement. The project will use Topsoe ammonia synthesis technology and is designed to produce up to 210,000 tonnes of ammonia per year, with a start-up targeted for Q4 2028, subject to final investment decision. It plans to supply the hydrogen and nitrogen compound for maritime applications as well as export to industrial users in Europe and Asia, although no firm offtake agreements have been announced. For Electric Hydrogen, it adds to several recent [...]

Operated by European power producer Fortum, the project is located near the Loviisa nuclear power plant and will draw electricity from the grid and use household water sources to produce hydrogen. “Reaching first hydrogen production is the result of focused work by our cross-functional commissioning team,” explained Marko Virkebau, CEO of Stargate Hydrogen. Following production of the first volumes, the partners plan to continue further testing and operational activities in line with the agreed project plan. The Estonian electrolyser OEM deployed the 1MW system in October. The project is expected to gather data on hydrogen production. Some of the produced [...]

The company is now finalising financial structuring and definitive agreements with equity and debt providers, with FID targeted for early 2026. Atome said it has been “methodically addressing the conditions necessary to expeditiously achieve FID” for the $630m project. Ahead of financial close, detailed engineering work is underway with EPC contractor Casale and Atome’s own internal engineering division. The firm’s CEO, Olivier Mussat, said with the key pieces now in place, “we are focused on moving to close out FID and start building.” He added, “Following all the milestones delivered in 2025, marking the end of the technical and commercial project [...]

The company said its existing plant in Pittsburg would be expanded and equipped with hydrogen capture, purification, and compression systems. The chlor-alkali plant produces bleach, which includes the electrolysis of brine – generating chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide, with the hydrogen typically vented. But K2 says it has partnered with gas marketer Pacc Services to find customers for the molecules that would be otherwise wasted. “Rather than allowing this hydrogen byproduct to go unused, K2 is investing in advanced systems to capture, purify, compress, and distribute it as a low-carbon fuel,” K2 said. H2 View understands it will be targeting [...]

Octopus Energy Generation is financing and managing an on-site green hydrogen project through Hyro, its hydrogen-focused development arm, to supply a dual-fuel boiler for steam generation in paper manufacturing. ITM’s Neptune V systems are expected to be operational at the Gravesend site by the end of 2027. The initiative is backed by the UK government under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1), placing it among the first commercial-scale green hydrogen projects to proceed to construction. Under HAR1, the plant has secured contracts-for-difference-style support, guaranteeing a strike price of £241/MWh. The mechanism tops up revenues when gas-linked market prices fall below this [...]
