H2-View News: Hydrogen-ready plants key to Singapore’s long-term decarbonisation
Despite solar PV spearheading decarbonisation in the city state, its National Hydrogen Strategy positions hydrogen as a longer-term decarbonisation option, with hydrogen-compatible gas plants and pilot projects designed to preserve optionality beyond 2035. Mohammed Ziauddin, Power Analyst at GlobalData, said Singapore’s clean energy strategy reflects the constraints of a dense, import-dependent system. “Solar PV is being scaled within physical limits through targeted policy mechanisms and urban deployment models, while parallel investment in storage, gas modernisation, and regional interconnections support reliability and system balance,” he said. Singapore’s power system is shaped by long-standing structural constraints related to land availability, limited domestic [...]
H2-View News: Chinese electrolyser maker to build 250MW factory in Germany through local JV
RCT Hydrogen, 51% owned by Germany’s RCT Group and 49% owned by Guofuhee, said it would begin preparing a 250MW electrolyser plant in eastern Germany, with plans to deliver its first 2.5MW system in Q1 2026. The electrolyser facility will manufacture pressurised alkaline stacks based on Guofuhee technology, while the company also intends to establish a hydrogen producing and selling service. Under RCT Hydrogen’s “hydrogen-as-a-service” offering, Vice-President Sales and Products Dr Eric Rüland said the company could provide hydrogen gas to industrial customers at “fixed prices”. “Various partners in Europe have also been found for this model, with whom further [...]

H2-View News: Liverpool City Region drops hydrogen buses in favour of electric fleet
Up to 20 hydrogen-powered buses were previously planned to operate in the UK city. However, the authority concluded that global hydrogen supply constraints and high costs made them less practical. Instead, the LCRCA will convert the fleet to battery-electric buses, adding to the electric vehicles already on order as part of its wider bus network overhaul. “The move to further expand the fully-electric bus fleet strengthens the Liverpool City Region’s position as a leader in sustainable transport and accelerates its journey towards becoming Net Zero,” it said in a statement. Backed by the £1.6bn Transport for City Region settlement, the [...]
H2-View News: RWE begins commissioning first 100MW of Lingen green hydrogen plant
Located at RWE’s Lingen gas-fired power plant, the 300MW Get H2 Nukleus project will deploy 200MW of PEM electrolysers from ITM Power alongside 100MW of alkaline systems supplied by Sunfire. Commissioning has started ahead of a planned 2026 start of commercial operations, with hydrogen production expected to begin in 2027. Output from the plant will be fed into RWE’s cavern storage facility in Gronau-Epe. Running until 2044, RWE has signed a 15-year offtake agreement with TotalEnergies for 30,000 tonnes per year to displace grey hydrogen at its Leuna refinery, with volumes transported via a 600km section of Germany’s hydrogen core [...]

H2-View News: ZeroAvia raises new funding to secure two-year operating runway
The round was led by Barclays Climate Ventures, with participation from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Horizons Ventures, Summa Equity, AP Ventures, the National Wealth Fund and the Scottish National Investment Bank. The funding will allow the firm to continue industrialising its hydrogen fuel cell power and propulsion systems. In the near-term, Zero Avia plans to focus on defence, unmanned aerial vehicles and early commercial aviation applications. A key priority is its SuperStack Flex modular fuel cell system, which ZeroAvia is already supplying to defence customers and is positioning as a dual-use platform for both military and civil aviation [...]
H2-View News: Hydrogen suspected in explosion at Elkem Silicones site near Lyon
Authorities believe hydrogen was present at an experimental workshop, where it may have leaked and accumulated before igniting. Five employees were working at the Seveso-classified chemical site when the explosion occurred at around 14:30pm on 22 December. Two of the injured workers are reportedly in critical condition, while a third sustained serious injuries. Around 100 firefighters and 30 emergency vehicles were deployed to the 600-sq-metre building, bringing the incident under control by early evening. The Orsec emergency plan was activated, with a 1km exclusion zone imposed, residents ordered to shelter and transport links temporarily shut. Authorities said there was no [...]
H2-View News: Charbone delivers first green hydrogen from flagship Quebec plant
Marking the start of revenue generation for the firm, it comes just weeks after the firm commissioned the first 2.25MW phase of its Sorel-Tracy project near Montreal. The delivery falls under a five-year supply agreement signed in October. However, the end-use, delivery volumes and pricing have not been disclosed to “preserve its competitive position.” The plant uses 100% grid power composed entirely of hydroelectric energy to power the Cummins-made alkaline electrolyser from a former Quebec hydrogen refuelling site. At its current capacity, the project will produce up to 328 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. Charbone plans to gradually expand [...]
H2-View News: EU-backed fund supports 500,000-tonne Namibian green ammonia plant
Under a funding agreement, Namibian clean investment fund, SDG Namibia One Fund, said it would provide blended finance to complete development and feasibility work through to a 2027 final investment decision. Zhero was founded in 2022 by Marco Alvera, the CEO of green hydrogen-based synthetic methane firm TES. It describes itself as the owner and operator of large-scale renewable energy for green molecule production and energy storage solutions. It currently has no projects under construction or in operation. The project, which is expected to be online by 2030, plans to comprise 3GW of solar, 2.2GW of battery energy storage, 1.6GW [...]
