H2 Energy Group

The company has already supplied power supply units (PSUs) to Steisdal to manage the electrical power from renewable sources, and complete control systems to regulate the operation of alkaline electrolyser modules. Under a new framework agreement, KK Wind Solutions will cover the repeat delivery of PSUs, electrolyser control systems, integrated cooling systems, and integration in scalable plant design. Each Stiesdal hydrogen plant begins at around 12.4MW, using its standardised HydroGen 3.1MW electrolyser modules. This allows for modular expansion across its plants. The two companies have worked together since 2021 and have even developed and deployed a prototype power conversion and [...]

The European Commission is proposing to almost halve tariff-free steel import quotas and introduce a 50% duty for excess shipments to preserve its domestic steelmaking. Under the plans announced on Tuesday (7 October), all imports from countries outside of the European Economic Area will be covered, with importers set to disclose where the steel was melted and poured.

Under the agreement, MEW will develop, build, and operate the anaerobic digesters and biogas treatment systems, while Utility will provide and operate the hydrogen production system – specifically its H2Gen technology. The US-based clean technology firm’s H2Gen process produces hydrogen from water without electricity, using the chemical energy in industrial off-gases or biogas to drive the reaction and yielding high-purity CO2 suitable for capture or utilisation. Located at a dairy farm complex in California, the plant is planned to produce up to three tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen, primarily intended for heavy-duty transport applications in the state. The project is in [...]

The company said Jose Luis Crespo would become President on 10 October before taking up the CEO role on 2 March. Current President Sanjay Shrestha will leave the company. Marsh, who has led the company since 2008, will continue to serve as CEO throughout the transition period and has been appointed Executive Chair of the Board. Current Chair George McNamee will become Lead Director in March. The leadership changes come as the company looks to deliver its first profits after a series of cost cuts over the past two years. Plug’s financial difficulties have been no secret. The firm has [...]

Ineos has warned that progress towards low-carbon production could come at the expense of British jobs without urgent government action on energy prices and trade protection. The company said that high UK energy costs have left its plant uncompetitive compared with countries benefiting from cheaper industrial power and gas. Meanwhile, “dumped” Chinese imports have flooded the market with ultra-cheap, coal-based acetyl products, such as acetic acid, the firm’s statement said. These high-emission imports, which face tariffs in the US but not the UK or EU, have reportedly undercut European producers, forcing cost-cutting measures and job losses. Ineos warned, “Unless firm [...]

Provided by Crédit Agricole and the state-backed investment bank Bpifrance, the financing will support the construction of the facility in Port-La Nouvelle, Occitanie. Additional indirect support will likely come through EU funding for the wider hydrogen corridor network in the region. The initiative is expected to power a regional hydrogen mobility network, including the Narbonne and Béziers stations currently being constructed. In total, five refuelling stations across the Occitanie region will be fuelled by Hyd’Occ. The project’s first phase is scheduled to deliver 2,700 tonnes of hydrogen per year, before it doubles to 20MW and 5,400 tonnes in its second [...]

Stargate said its 10MW Aurora system achieves 14.4 m² per MW, making it the “most space-efficient alkaline electrolyser of its kind on the market.” Space constraints remain a challenge for industrial hydrogen users. The electrolyser module integrates two 5MW Starbase stacks with a stack consumption of less than 49kWh/kg of hydrogen, and features an outdoor-ready design with a compact form factor. Stargate’s CEO, Marko Virkebau, said the launch of these new products addresses “two main barriers for industrial hydrogen adoption: cost of hydrogen and space constraints at industrial sites.” The CEO added, “By delivering the most compact and high-efficiency 10MW [...]

The containerised MC500 unit will be delivered to the Association for Waste Disposal in Buchs. The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen using renewable power from a 190,000-tonne-per-year waste incineration plant. Rather than letting residual electricity go unused or into the grid, the project diverts that power to produce green hydrogen, closing a circular loop by fuelling regional demands, such as the local waste collection fleet. H2 Energy’s electrolyser order represents the second MC500 system it has ordered from the Norwegian OEM, alongside a containerised MC400 and a smaller C30 PEM unit. “H2 Energy has a long history of trusted cooperation [...]

A majority of Chart shareholders voted in favour of the merger agreement, which will see shares priced at $210 once the transaction is completed. The deal is expected to be completed by mid-year 2026. “We are pleased to deliver this transaction to Chart shareholders and thank them for their support,” said Chart President and CEO Jill Evanko. By making the acquisition, Baker Hughes said it would support its plans of positioning itself as a “leading energy and industrial technology company,” by gaining Chart’s liquid hydrogen and LNG capabilities. It comes just a couple of months after Chart announced it would [...]

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) said the second round of CCFDs would be “more flexible, more SME-friendly, and more technology neutral” than the 2024 auction, which awarded €2.8bn ($3.3bn) to 15 projects. Energy Minister Katherina Reiche recently told the Bundestag that €6bn ($7.02bn) would be available for CCFDs in 2026. The mechanism aims to protect companies investing in low-carbon processes against price risks associated with energy costs and emissions trading schemes. “If the CO2 price rises, the subsidy decreases, and vice-versa,” the BMWE said. “Other subsidies, such as electricity price compensation, are deducted from the subsidy [...]
