H2-View News: Indian JV to supply green hydrogen to refinery for less than $3/kg
The companies’ 50:50 joint venture (JV) NeuEN Green Energy said the long-term offtake contract would see it build a green hydrogen plant at Numaligarh Refinery’s – a division of state-owned Indian Oil – Assam facility. According to local reports, the JV will supply green hydrogen at India’s “lowest price” of 279 rupees ($2.97) per kilogramme. “The landmark tariff achieved demonstrates the importance of well-structured long-term offtake contracts,” said Sembcorp’s Hydrogen Business CEO, Vipul Tuli. The price is significant. India targets reducing costs to under $2/kg by 2030, while other regions, like Europe, grapple with costs of around $11/kg. Details on [...]
H2-View News: Over 60% of California hydrogen stations offline after gaseous supply disruption
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) said stations were unavailable across the state following a supply disruption that began in February 2026. Its map of refuelling infrastructure showed that 32 sites were currently offline as of 23 March, despite some Iwatani-operated stations having been scheduled to receive gaseous hydrogen supplies on 12 March. The disruption follows a late-February incident in which one person died, and another was injured when a compressed hydrogen trailer exploded in the City of Colton in San Bernardino County. According to local media reports, the victims were servicing a truck hauling the trailer owned by oil [...]
Hydrogen Council News: El Mundo: Investment in hydrogen is growing, but we must avoid a domino effect that delays projects
The interview with Paula Maria of El Mundo was originally published in Spanish here and has been translated using DeepL Translator. A couple of years ago, hydrogen was one of the most repeated words in the economic press, much like AI or competitiveness are today. The war in Ukraine and Russia’s energy blackmail elevated this new fuel to a strategic priority across the European Union, as the molecule emerged as a lever for energy independence for the Twenty Seven. Spain led that trend and still does. The country accounts for 20 percent of European green hydrogen projects. Major players are [...]
H2-View News: Hexagon Purus to dilute China JV stake as CIMC Enric funds 2026 operations
Under a financing agreement, CIMC Enric will fully fund the JV throughout 2026 in exchange for a “higher ownership share” in the CIMC-Hexagon JV. Hexagon said the arrangement would help minimise its cash outflow while retaining operations and a market presence in China. The company has not confirmed what the arrangement would see its stake reduced to, but it will retain the right to acquire its original ownership stake back. Established in 2021, the JV manufactures Type 4 composite hydrogen cylinders, hydrogen fuel storage systems, and distribution modules in China for the Asian market. Hexagon positioned the JV as a [...]
H2-View News: Uniper’s 120MW UK green hydrogen project granted planning permission
The Humber H2ub project at the German major’s existing Killingholme site is expected to begin operations by 2029. It would supply Phillips 66’s nearby refinery, reducing its Scope 1 operational emissions, and is shortlisted for funding from the government’s second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2). Set to undergo a front-end engineering design study by UK-based ITM Power, it could deploy six of the OEM’s 20MW electrolyser units to produce over 17,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The North Lincolnshire Council approved planning permission for H2ub following an Environmental Impact Assessment and public consultation programme. H2 View understands that power for the [...]
H2-View News: Hazer commissions KBR for turquoise hydrogen project studies in Canada
KBR will undertake engineering and economic analysis aimed at finalising the commercial framework for the next phase of development of the project planned at Canadian utility FortisBC’s site in British Columbia. The site could host Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology, which uses natural gas and unprocessed iron as feedstocks to produce 2,500 tonnes of hydrogen and around 9,500 tonnes of graphite annually. The project was first floated in 2024 after Hazer and FortisBC signed a binding project development agreement. In 2025, Hazer and KBR partnered to advance the methane pyrolysis technology under an AUD $3m ($1.9m)-$5m ($3.2m) joint development programme. According [...]
H2-View News: French renewable and nuclear hydrogen subsidy scheme approved by EU
The scheme will offer 15-year per-kilogramme subsidies to green and low-carbon hydrogen producers exclusively supplying industrial use cases where “no economically viable” electrification pathways exist. France will hold three competitive tender rounds to allocate funding. The initial €787m ($908m) round will aim to support 200MW of production. Hydrogen produced using purely renewable power, in line with EU renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules, and low-carbon electricity, like nuclear, will be supported. Competitions Commissioner, Teresa Ribera, said the scheme would help reduce the EU’s fossil fuel dependence. “The aid will support the most cost-effective projects, while minimising distortions of competition [...]
H2-View News: China’s Sungrow Hydrogen racks up electrolyser sales across three continents
The original equipment manufacturer said the “back-to-back shipments” will be installed at a large-scale green ammonia project, an off-grid solar-to-hydrogen facility, and a green hydrogen project. The primary sale for 160MW of alkaline systems was shipped to ACME Group’s Oman green ammonia project, which will install 320MW of green hydrogen production capacity. China’s Shuangliang International recently provided 80MW worth of systems for the project’s first phase. A further 3MW PEM system for integration with a solar project has been shipped to an unnamed customer in Italy, and a containerised system for a green hydrogen plant to Brazil for natural gas [...]
H2-View News: Multiple offtakers add complexity to clean hydrogen projects, says Black & Veatch
Clean hydrogen projects with single offtakers are more bankable and less complex to deliver, according to global engineering firm Black & Veatch. The company’s Process Solutions Director, EMEA, Keigh Taylor, told H2 View that projects pooling demand from multiple buyers could face offtake uncertainty.

H2-View News: Norwegian hydrogen cylinder maker begins production in China
The 12,000 sq. m. facility in Jiaxing produces the firm’s Type 4 glass fibre pressure gas cylinders, which are used for multi-element gas containers (MEGCs) to transport and store hydrogen. It has the capacity to make up to 20,000 cylinders, trebling the firm’s global production capacity. UAC said the plant will support projects like Hiringa Energy and Sundown Pastoral’s 4,500-tonne green ammonia project in New South Wales, Australia, to supply fertilisers for cotton growing. The firm will supply two 20 ft. and three 40 ft. units to the project, following on from MEGC deployments at Hiringa hydrogen refuelling stations in [...]
