The programme comes under AFDB’s Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa, which was financed by the German government, and will offer three to five selected projects pre-investment financing up to $20m in reimbursable grants. The funds will support activities such as feasibility and engineering design studies to help projects reach final investment decision. An online application window begins on April 10 and will stay open for a month. Dr Daniel Schroth, Director of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Department at ADDB, said the initiative is designed to transition projects on the continent from development to bankability. “Green hydrogen represents a [...]

The first three months of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) have begun to clarify its real impact: stabilising carbon price signals, reshaping ammonia trade flows, and supporting the business case for carbon capture in export markets. For the hydrogen sector, the mechanism is emerging as a key determinant of where production is located, and in what form it is traded. CBAM came into force on 1 January this year, covering hydrogen, electricity, fertilisers, aluminium, iron and steel, and cement. It applies a carbon price to imported goods. This is a paid article, to read the article in full [...]

The new configuration – consisting of seven connected 500bar carbon-fibre hydrogen tanks – makes for a flat fuel storage system that, unlike in older fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) models, does not intrude into the rear cargo area and cut storage space. Capable of holding 7kg of gaseous hydrogen, BMW said the arrangement will improve the vehicle’s range up to 750km from approximately 500km. It is slated to simultaneously bolster BMW’s capacity for constructing the vehicles, enabling their construction on the same production line as other drive types. Dr Joachim Post, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, [...]

Following trials using a 20kW solid oxide electrolyser, Schneider said the control solution continuously monitored and adjusted the system for an operating period of over 6,000 hours, reducing stack wear and improving energy efficiency by 10%. The AI software – which uses Microsoft Azure AI Foundry to automate engineering tasks such as managing thermal balance, hydrogen flow, and energy inputs – was integrated into a system from Indian clean technology developer, H2E Power. Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric, said the trial represents a migration path towards software-defined automation performing under real-world industrial conditions. While the [...]

The funding package, comprising a £40m ($53.6m) equity investment from GBE and a proposed £46.5m ($62.3m) government grant, will support the development of an automated production line for ITM’s Chronos PEM stacks. The £120m ($160.8m) project at the company’s Sheffield site is targeting a nameplate capacity of 1GW by 2028 and will include automated equipment for catalyst-coated membranes, electrode welding, coatings, stack assembly, and cleanroom facilities. H2 View understands the Chronos line will be deployed alongside ITM’s existing Trident stack capacity. Chronos has been positioned as a lower-cost, higher-performance platform incorporating “lessons learned” from Trident to reduce part count by [...]

Under the Mediterranean Green Hydrogen Hub banner, Egyptian fertiliser producers Abu Qir Fertilizers and Alexandria Fertilizers (Alexfert) and construction firm Orascom Construction have partnered with Hong Kong’s United Energy Group (UEG) to explore developing the facility. Under a memorandum of understanding, UEG and Orascom will study the feasibility of deploying 500MW of wind and solar renewable power to produce green hydrogen, which Abu Qir and Alexfert will look to use in their existing ammonia production. Abu Qir currently operates three ammonia plants exceeding 3,000 tonnes per day near Alexandria. AlexFert has one 1,200-tonne-per-day plant. The group has said the green [...]

The alkaline electrolysers will be supplied to Guofuhee’s African subsidiary, GF Hydrogen Africa Sarl, for an unidentified Moroccan green hydrogen project for $6.2m. While specific details remain limited, Guofuhee claimed the deal will support its plans to establish 1GW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity on the continent. Morocco’s government has been looking to position the country as a leader in green hydrogen and low-cost green ammonia production. At the 2025 Power-to-X Summit in Marrakech, industry leaders said that China’s capacity to finance and deliver major projects could aid this mission. Under the second deal, Guofuhee will supply China’s  Guangdong Yuntao Hydrogen [...]

The company selected construction engineering firm Kiewit to conduct the early-stage design and engineering work on its planned project in Delaware, which it says could be the first of a “multi-plant project.” Formerly known as First State Hydrogen, Aternium has expanded the project’s focus from pure-play green hydrogen to also produce heavy water or deuterium – an isotope of hydrogen used in nuclear fusion, medicinal chemistry, and more. An engineering services contract with KBR and an energy systems design contract with Siemens, which were both awarded in 2024, remain in place. In 2025, Aternium secured $1m in funding from the [...]

The company was awarded renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) certification for up to 6,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year at its Frankfurt site from environmental certifier ISCC System. Nobian produces salt and essential chemicals, which stem from chlor-alkali electrolysis. Similar to water electrolysis, the process electrolyses brine to generate chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide. By-product hydrogen from chlor-alkali is often underutilised or used internally. However, by using traceable renewable electricity to power the entire process, Nobian’s hydrogen can now be captured and sold as RFNBOs. Under the EU’s RFNBO rules, electrolyser operators must use electricity from new renewable [...]

Backed by a German government grant and targeting commissioning in June 2027,  the project being developed by German renewable firm Le Power plans to inject green hydrogen into a pipeline corridor running through Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Hydrogenera will deliver engineering, operational management, electrical integration, site testing, and personnel training for the facility, alongside its integration partner Hydro Future. The facility’s precise location remains undisclosed. According to Hydrogenera, it will support the continued development of European hydrogen infrastructure and the Ukraine-Germany supply corridor. Currently, the primary planned route for transporting hydrogen between the two countries, via Slovakia and the [...]
