H2 Energy Group

The group is due to receive the electrolyser system from Italy’s IMI, which will supply green hydrogen to an existing refuelling station at the site. Stadtwerke opened the Innovation Park last year to support hybrid fuel cell-battery buses operated by Bielefeld-based transit firm moBiel. The buses can either be recharged directly by the site’s 27 charging points or refuelled with hydrogen. Business Development Manager for IMI Vivo electrolysers, Dr Cornelia Neumann, said Stadtwerke’s facility was a “model” for other municipalities and operators struggling with grid capacity limits. A timeline for bringing the electrolyser system online has not been disclosed. While [...]

Crematoria Twente has launched a research and demonstration project to assess whether green hydrogen could be a sustainable and feasible alternative to natural gas, to inform potential wider deployment. The firm will adapt an existing furnace at its Enschede crematorium to run on green hydrogen, beginning with controlled testing before any use in day-to-day operations. Crematoria Twente expects to perform the first cremation using hydrogen before the end of 2026. The project will assess the gas change’s safety, emissions, reliability, and impact on operations. Partners on the project include cremation furnace maker Facultatieve Technologies, industrial energy system designer Mateq Processes, [...]

Transport and logistics firm Maritima Valparasio (MarVal) and chemicals maker Fosfoquim were each awarded $5m under Corfo’s call for proposals for its Industrial Rings to Promote Demand for Green Hydrogen and its Derivatives scheme. The contributions cover more than 50% of both projects’ costs and must be “executed” within six years. Chile’s economy, development, tourism, and energy minister Álvaro García, said the projects would allow the country to generate “real demand” for green hydrogen while strengthening the region’s competitiveness. “Domestic demand for green hydrogen is an essential first step for the development of this industry and thus to take advantage [...]

India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water (DVGW) inked a memorandum of understanding to advance the hydrogen readiness of natural gas infrastructure in India. The non-binding MOU focuses on regulatory and technical framework, rather than project-level investment. PNGRB says it is an entry point for progressing from hydrogen blending to 100% hydrogen applications. Under the agreement the two parties will collaborate on technical rules and testing principles, a hydrogen readiness testing scheme, network simulation tools, various practices and safety methodologies, and technical visits and knowledge exchange. The PNGRB is [...]

Given its structural reliance on imported fuels and exposure to energy security and decarbonisation imperatives, hydrogen provides an industrial and strategic pathway. But progress is not without friction, it finds. Infrastructure remains incomplete across production, transport and end-use sectors, green hydrogen and its derivatives still entail cost premiums and long-term offtakes, essential to investment clarity, have not materialised at the scale required. That’s despite policy direction and mobilised funds thanks to the country’s updated Basic Hydrogen Strategy and Hydrogen Society Promotion Act. It still requires “coordinated, system-wide progress” according to WEF. Encouragingly, it possesses the industrial depth, engineering capability and [...]

H2Apex and East Energy Group are forming a joint venture (JV) to develop four 5MW green hydrogen projects across Germany, following the government’s backing of usage mandates in mobility. Their Hanseatic H2 JV will develop standardised electrolyser plants to produce renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO)-compliant green hydrogen. Initially, four projects are planned in Northern and Eastern Germany, responding to what the developers describe as a “significant increase” in green hydrogen demand.

The agreement extends a deal first inked in October 2024 to fuel Antarctica21’s ten guest transport vessels with HIF’s synthetic gasoline for a second consecutive season. Antarctica21 operates the Zodiac boats to transport tourists from its cruise ship for on-ice expeditions off the coast of Chile. The e-gasoline is produced at HIF’s first plant in Chile, Haru Oni, which has been operating since 2022. The plant uses wind energy to power electrolysis for hydrogen production, which is synthesised with recycled carbon dioxide into e-fuels. HIF CEO, Víctor Turpaud, said the extended deal would allow the firm to show how regional [...]

The H2East pipeline would be largely underground and run from Immingham in the Humber to Newark in Nottinghamshire, and form part of the wider east coast hydrogen backbone development Project Union. It would connect hydrogen production sites in the region with industrial end-users. Cadent intends to open consultations on the project to hear views on its proposals and planned route. Project Director, Adam Knight, said, “We will be listening carefully to what businesses and local communities tell us in the coming months. Their views will help shape our proposals, including the details of the route.” It would mark the first [...]

Under a binding agreement, Am Green will supply up to half of the green ammonia produced at its facility in Kakinada, with first deliveries expected by early 2028. Uniper green ammonia will be used as a feedstock and potential hydrogen carrier to decarbonise chemicals, fertilisers and other hard-to-abate industrial sectors. The deal was formalised in Ahmedabad, in the presence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Michael Lewis, CBE, CEO of Uniper, said the contract would help unlock cost-effective decarbonisation. “Green ammonia stands out as one of the most promising solutions to decarbonise CO2-intensive production of [...]

Under the multi-year agreement, Stegra will supply non-prime steel to the German steel and aluminium processor for use across multiple European industries. Non-prime steel is a byproduct of steelmaking that does not meet the highest quality specifications for some applications, but remains suitable for a wide range of industrial uses. While the exact volume was not disclosed, Stegra said the total tonnage covered by the agreement will be in the “high-six-digit” range. The steel will be produced at Stegra’s currently under-construction green steel plant in Boden, Sweden. Green hydrogen produced by over 700MW of electrolysers will be used to reduce [...]
