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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The 5,000-tonnes-per-year plant in Ramme integrates 50MW of new solar capacity, 12MW of existing wind energy, with electrolysis and ammonia synthesis. Developed with Danish technology firm Topsoe and wind turbine maker Vestas, the project is designed to adapt to renewable energy fluctuations, reducing costs by operating without hydrogen storage. In doing so, the group claims the project is the world’s first “dynamic” green ammonia plant. Skovgaard CEO Niels Erik Madsen said it demonstrates the “energy systems of tomorrow”. The project received DKK 81m ($12.7m) in funding from the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program. The partners have not disclosed [...]

The two stations in Giengen an der Brenz, Baden-Württemberg, and Hallstadt, Bavaria, will add to Tyczka’s two under-development sites in Augsburg and Ravensburg, as it looks to ramp up hydrogen demand in the mobility segment. While the acquisition’s value has not been revealed, the company expects to complete the deal in January 2026. Both stations are equipped with 350 and 700 bar dispensing capacity and will undergo upgrades to “enhance performance” for heavy-duty vehicles. The Giengen an der Brenz station opened in May 2024 at the site of a JET Mobility Hub, while the Hallstadt site in the Cleantech Innovation [...]

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) sits within AM Green’s wider green hydrogen and power-to-X strategy, where the Indian firm is developing large-scale hydrogen and ammonia projects to decarbonise heavy industry. AM Green is planning a one-million-tonnes-per-year primary aluminium shelter alongside two million-tonnes-per-year of alumina refining and mining capacity, to be developed in Andhra Pradesh, India. Mitsui would use the partnership to secure and trade low-carbon aluminium supply, while positioning itself alongside AM Green’s broader hydrogen-led industrial decarbonisation platform. Under the agreement, Mitsui will assess potential equity investment across AM Green’s aluminium value chain, as well as offtake rights and supply [...]

Under the deal with ILDO F&C, the duo aims to deliver composite-based lightweight bipolar plates with high corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and customisable surface options, without the need for conductive coatings. Bipolar plates in fuel cells distribute hydrogen and oxygen, conduct electricity and manage heat and water by-products. Typically, they are made from metal sheets with channels machined or etched on. However, the pair claim composite plates could deliver “lower tooling costs, enhanced operability through hydrophilic/hydrophobic options, resistance to degradation caused by metal-ion leaching, and weight reduction.” Vinssen has been focused on developing fuel cell propulsion systems for maritime applications [...]

Conducted under its IS2H4C project, the company swapped a conventional gas burner for a hydrogen burner in a ladle heating step at its Basauri steel plant. Sidenor said the hydrogen burner achieved the same temperatures as the conventional process, demonstrating hydrogen’s technical viability in this application. However, Sidenor is yet to announce a full-scale rollout of the technology. Sidenor produces speciality steel at two main steelworks in Spain, located in Basauri and Azkoitia, with additional downstream and forging operations, including a plant in Reinosa. The trial comes as analysts warn that large-scale green steel production remains more than a decade [...]
