H2 Energy Group

The company reported over 370 hydrogen deliveries in France, Germany and Sweden – double the number from H1 2024, representing 22MW of installed capacity across its sites. Backed by a €65m ($70m) cash position and a 9.3 GW project pipeline, Lhyfe expects its full-year 2025 revenue to double in comparison to €10m ($10.8m) in 2024. However, losses also widened as the company continues to absorb the costs of scaling up. Its net loss deepened to €21.7m ($23.4m) from €14.0m ($15.1m) a year earlier, with operating losses rising to €19.8m ($21.4m) as depreciation, amortisation and transport expenses increased. Adjusted EBITDA remained [...]

As the Programme Management Office (PMO) partner, the multinational infrastructure firm will ensure Project Union runs smoothly at a programme level for National Gas, keeping it on budget, on schedule, and properly managed. “Aecom will deliver advisory capability and resourcing support to help build a high-performing PMO function for delivery of the East Coast section,” the company explained. “Aecom’s team will work closely with National Gas in a fully integrated manner, helping to develop the client’s major projects capability in the longer term.” Meanwhile, National Gas and WSP will progress with the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the [...]

Allowing flexible grid rules could reduce green hydrogen production costs by 30% to €4/kg ($4.70) in Spain, according to Moeve’s Hydrogen Director. Speaking at European Hydrogen Week, Joaquín Rodriguez showed the Spanish oil and gas firm’s proposal to minimise green hydrogen production costs, without major changes to RFNBO rules. He said the additionality and temporal correlation requirements had not been synchronised with grid developments, grid cost allocation, and how tariffs are being set – all adding costs.

Under its agreement with developer ACWA Power, Kent will provide technical oversight and assurance for the project, which is scheduled to have its first phase come online in 2030. Kent is expected to work alongside the Técnicas Reunidas–Sinopec joint venture (JV). The JV is carrying out a 10-month study for the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase for the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub. Kent will act as the independent overseer, ensuring the project is designed safely, efficiently, and in line with global standards before it moves into full-scale construction. “Our partnership with Kent will ensure the project benefits from world-class technical [...]

Alongside the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), the letter has urged ministers to set demand targets and fund early infrastructure to close the cost gap with diesel fuel. Currently, the trade bodies underline that hydrogen’s role in transport policy is limited. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) qualify as zero-emission under the government’s mandate for cars and vans, but hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICEs) are excluded. The associations argue that an ‘all-technology’ approach is essential to scale the market, avoid grid strain from over-reliance on BEVs, cut diesel use in hard-to-electrify sectors, and safeguard economic opportunities [...]

Bosch, fresh from announcing 13,000 job cuts, is positioning hydrogen mobility as both a climate tool and a potential industrial lifeline for Europe. Speaking at European Hydrogen Week in Brussels, Niki Berger, Head of H2 Ecosystem Coordinator at the German OEM, tied the company’s future to urgent investment and cooperation in the sector. “That’s the reason we are part of the Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance,” he said. “We see the urgent need to do something. We need to do it together.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed [...]

Europe’s binding green hydrogen targets were meant to kickstart demand – but member states are struggling to keep pace. Under the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III), by 2030, 42% of all hydrogen used in industry, and 1% of transport fuels must be green hydrogen. However, the implementation of the mandates has faced major challenges. Just five of the 27 EU member states have transposed the rules into national laws, despite the official deadline having passed in May.

The implications for Namibia’s export model could be severe. RWE and Hyphen Hydrogen Energy (Hyphen) had signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2022, that would have seen RWE offtake up to 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year from Namibia. The news has taken some of the gloss off Namibia’s recent hydrogen drive. The official opening of Cleanergy Solutions Namibia’s green hydrogen production and refuelling facility in Walvis Bay was recently presided over by Prime Minister Dr Tjitunga Elijah Ngurare. Billed as the first integrated green hydrogen plant in Africa, the site brings together solar-powered electrolysis, a hydrogen refuelling [...]

The Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance (GHMA) claims hydrogen trucking can reach €8/kg by 2030, a level that would bring it close to cost parity with diesel and battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). But Europe must abandon the pilot mentality and back large-scale liquid hydrogen stations with flexible early sourcing for that to happen.

For all the talk about relaxing green hydrogen production requirements in Europe, Oman’s Minister for Energy and Minerals had a different message for European Hydrogen Week: stop changing the rules. Salim Bin Nasser Al Aufi took his keynote opportunity at the event to spell out the steps his government had been taking to facilitate large-scale hydrogen production in the Gulf nation. From supporting project logistics, allocating land, building common infrastructure and more, Hydrom – Oman’s hydrogen ‘orchestrator’ – is looking to meet the Sultanate’s goal of producing one million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030.
