Located near the A7 motorway within the Neumünster logistics hub, the station was inaugurated by hydrogen refuelling developer Hypion in November 2023 to support heavy-duty vehicle deployments. According to Hypion, the station was the first of its size to comply with the EU’s Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which mandates hydrogen refuelling stations every 200km along core roads and in every urban node by 2030. While the acquisition’s value remains undisclosed, the station becomes MB Energy’s fourth operational hydrogen refuelling site. It will be integrated into the Tankpool24 network, which includes over 2,000 stations – covering diesel, LNG, and hydrogen [...]

The hydrogen was produced by Protium’s 40kg per day Pioneer 1 facility in South Wales, and has begun replacing the volumes of grey hydrogen used by Oxccu’s OX1 facility at London Oxford Airport. Commissioned in 2024, the OX1 plant is testing the start-up’s SAF production technology, slated to simplify the traditional multi-stage SAF production pathway, which the firm claims will reduce complexity, losses, and carbon intensity. The plant currently has capacity to produce 1.2 litres of fuel per day. The process can convert either separate streams of hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide or hydrogen-rich syngas into SAF using a specialist [...]

The Conceptual Public Participation Plan (PCPP) will run until March 27 through information points in each of the region’s 39 municipalities to gather opinions and views on the project. The PCPP will ultimately produce a final report incorporating the social and environmental solutions raised. Enagás also plans to hold eight one-day participatory seminars, educating the public on the backbone network. The consultation comes after a similar informational initiative launched last year in the Extremadura region. Enagás is leading the development of four key infrastructure projects across the country, including the hydrogen backbone, linking the Iberian Peninsula to Central Europe. It [...]

Hydrogen’s push toward commercial scale has stalled, with rising costs and weak offtake keeping the sector stuck in the pilot phase, according to ING. In its 2026 outlook, ING argues that clean hydrogen will require a “multi-stage process” unfolding over several decades to become a mainstream commodity. Despite industry advocates highlighting commercial traction, the bank said, “It has largely reverted to the pilot phase, especially for green hydrogen.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funds will be used for technical, economic, and regulatory progress on ICE’s Australian Renewable Energy Hub (AREH), which aims to combine 26GW of renewables to produce 1.6 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The studies funded by ARENA will focus on the project’s green hydrogen production at Boodarie near Port Hedland and supply to industry, as well as environmental and social considerations. It gives a new boost to the development after oil and gas major BP pulled out of the scheme amid its reset back toward fossil fuels. CEO of the AREH project [...]

EU-set green hydrogen mandates for transport and industry are set to come into force in Italy on Wednesday (4 February), after the country transposed the rules into national law. The Legislative Decree 5/2026 will enter into force and implement the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) to accelerate and simplify renewable energy installations across Italy.

ExxonMobil and its Denbury carbon capture unit are facing an expanded antitrust and unfair competition lawsuit in Texas, after a blue ammonia developer alleged the companies leveraged control over a carbon dioxide pipeline to cut off a rival project. The suit, filed by start-up Clean Hydrogen Works, has added ExxonMobil as a defendant, alleging that after Exxon acquired CO2-enhanced oil recovery firm Denbury, the oil and gas major forced Denbury to break existing agreements with it.

Nasa stopped the countdown at the launchpad in Florida five minutes ahead of a test ‘launch’, following a hydrogen leak from a connection linking the launch tower to the rocket, which can hold three million litres of hydrogen and oxygen. “The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal countdown was terminated at the T-5:15 minute mark due to a liquid hydrogen leak at the interface of the tail service mast umbilical, which had experienced high concentrations of liquid hydrogen earlier in the countdown as well,” a Nasa statement reads. During tanking, Nasa engineers spent “several hours” troubleshooting a liquid hydrogen leak in an interface [...]

Under the deal with Hyundai Translead, Hendrickson will act as a commercial vehicle dealer in New York and New Jersey, offering sales, servicing, and infrastructure support for South Korean OEM’s Xcient Fuel Cell trucks. The announcement did not specify the number of trucks that are likely to be rolled out by the deal, nor the details on the supporting hydrogen infrastructure. However, Hendrickson’s Vice-President of EV Strategy, Chance Parker, said the deal represented a “game-changing commitment to decarbonising more fleet operations in the NYC metro area and beyond.” Unlike the comparative US hydrogen mobility hotspot in California, the East Coast’s [...]

Situated in Lübeck at an existing MB Energy diesel refuelling station near the A1 and A20 motorways, the station could fuel 50 trucks per-day. Delivered by German project developer Hypion, it comes as MB Energy’s third station in Europe. The Lübeck site will operate as part of the Tankpool24 truck refuelling network, comprised of over 2,000 stations – covering diesel, LNG, and hydrogen – across Europe including more than 750 in Germany. MB Energy has not identified the exact source of hydrogen for the station. The Lübeck station was supported by a €5.1m ($5.5m) grant awarded under the German Government’s [...]
