Representing the first time hydrogen has been transported by rail in the UK, the companies believe the solution could act as a “rolling pipeline,” by moving large volumes of hydrogen via existing railway routes. The hydrogen used in the trial was supplied by the 15MW HyMarnham Power site, which was backed by the government under the first Hydrogen Allocation Round, and stored in pressurised gas containers. “The railway has the potential to be a strategic hydrogen distribution network in the future, as it has been for energy for many years,” said Leevan Finney, Network Rail’s engineering services director. “We’re accelerating Britain’s [...]

One of the loudest advocates for strict green hydrogen rules in Brussels is calling on the European Commission to extend transition periods and loosen eligibility for renewable projects as developers struggle to reach final investment decisions (FID). In a new industry position paper, the Renewable Hydrogen Coalition (RHC) called for a “targeted” adjustment of the renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) delegated acts. It focused on prolonging the transitional phase for additionality, which underpins forthcoming hourly matching and grid-correlation obligations, while maintaining grandfathering and legal certainty for projects already passed FID.

The hydrogen company said it had signed a letter of intent with the developer for the system, which could be installed at its Sunrhyse project in Signes. Sunrhyse was originally due online this year. It will use solar and wind to produce RFNBO-compliant green hydrogen for maritime and land mobility applications in the South of France. However, in addition to supplying its PEM electrolysers, Plug said it will support the transport and distribution of hydrogen produced by the project. It also plans to “continue to expand” its hydrogen-powered forklift base in the region. Plug has doubled down on its forklift [...]

The Spanish public research institute has launched a world-first demonstration at its Merce Lab pilot line in Catalonia – a pre-industrial manufacturing facility with a capacity of around 2MW/year designed to validate large-scale SOC production. IREC argues 3D printing allows SOC systems to be cheaper, lighter, and more suitable for aviation, maritime, and large-scale applications. IREC said its 3D-printed SOC modules cost around €800/kW and could help reduce hydrogen to below €4/kg ($4.35/kg), while delivering four times the power density of existing commercial technologies. Furthermore, it uses fewer critical raw materials, such as nickel, cobalt, and rare earths, and the [...]

The expanded Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will see the companies collaborate on low-carbon hydrogen production, storage, transport and refuelling infrastructure. The industrial gas firm and automotive major also plan to deploy fuel cell trucks, buses, and logistics fleets, supported by new hydrogen hubs planned in the three regions. “Collaborations like this between leading companies across the value chain are essential to building the hydrogen economy,” Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive Committee, said. “The progress we have made in South Korea highlights what is concretely possible when industry leaders work together for a more sustainable future.” The companies say [...]

This iteration of the auction marks the first time that the EU will fund low-carbon, non-exclusively green hydrogen, following the adoption of rules governing additional production pathways in October. Bidders will have until 19 February 2026 to apply for per-kilogramme subsidies for projects that meet the EU’s requirements for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) or for low-carbon electrolytic hydrogen that does not rely exclusively on renewable power. These non-RFNBO molecules will need to demonstrate 70% lower greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels – 28.2gCO2eq/MJ – in line with the recently passed Low-Carbon Fuels Delegated Act. It is hoped the inclusion [...]

The deployment follows a successful three-year trial in which battery-powered AGVs were retrofitted with IE-Power fuel cells. The automotive major has said the transition will allow the vehicle assembly plant to cut the number of AGVs by 20%, as the hydrogen units will be available more of the time. Using hydrogen fuel cells, the AGV units, designed by DS Automotion, are reportedly expected to run longer than battery alternatives and can be refuelled quickly while producing zero emissions inside the factory. 50 AGVs have been delivered to Leipzig and are already in use. The remaining units will enter service within the [...]

Hydrogen Council members met in Seoul this week, signalling a shift in tone as the sector focuses on project execution. “The time has now come to push further,” said newly appointed Council Co-Chair and Air Liquide CEO François Jackow. “To successfully achieve our 2030 milestones, we must relentlessly focus on three things: building faster, harmonised global standards to level the playing field, and foster demand for low-carbon products.” In a communiqué, Council member CEOs and executives acknowledged the clean hydrogen sector is entering a more selective phase. It notes “natural attrition” within the global project pipeline is an expected feature [...]

Two of Oman’s flagship green hydrogen projects have been quietly dropped after a market reassessment, dealing a setback to one of the sector’s most closely watched development programmes. In a filing by Oman News Agency, Hydrom Managing Director Abdulaziz Al Shidhani told the 2025 Green Hydrogen Summit Oman that only seven of the nine original projects that won land tenders were progressing. He said two projects were concluded by “mutual agreement” after they were reassessed due to “market dynamics”.
