Six European electrolyser firms have launched a new coalition, calling on policymakers to deliver long-term green hydrogen demand signals and relax production rules as deployments lag. Under the new Electrolysers for Europe banner, ITM Power, John Cockerill, Nel, Sunfire, Thyssenkrupp Nucera, and Topsoe said the continent had to match the sector’s momentum or risk losing its leadership. In a manifesto launched on Wednesday (4 February), the group criticised EU policy for hampering electrolyser installations despite the sector scaling up manufacturing capacity from 1GW to over 10GW since 2020.

With commissioning for the project planned in 2027, Bilfinger will prefabricate, assemble, and install key piping and plant components, as well as high-voltage power systems. The German engineering firm expects to deploy over 200 workers at the site during peak periods. The deal adds to Bilfinger’s green hydrogen work, which includes the integration of a 100MW electrolyser at RWE’s 300MW Lingen project. BP took final investment decision on the project in 2024 to produce up to 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen for consumption in its own refineries and other industrial customers in the region. The plant will feed into the [...]

Its Hong Kong and clean energy businesses have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Hong Kong and China Gas Company (Towngas) aimed at developing projects in the special administrative region. Their efforts will focus on hydrogen refuelling station construction, liquid hydrogen storage and transport technology, shipping applications, and SAF development. According to Towngas, the MOU would see the trio aim to “build a hydrogen industry ecosystem” in Hong Kong, as well as the possible creation of a joint venture for pooling resources and accelerating project delivery. Towngas describes itself as a “major hydrogen supplier” in Hong Kong. However, [...]

The system made by Hyting was installed at a precision pump manufacturing facility for Flusys in Offenbach, to provide heating for a 1,000 cubic-metre space. Installed alongside a heat pump, the unit will provide peak heating capacity during high-demand periods or low ambient temperatures, with the heat pump managing base load. Hydrogen is being supplied by an unnamed “nearby supplier.” Hyting says its catalytic unit provides carbon dioxide, NOx and particulate emission-free heat through a flameless oxidation process. Hydrogen is supplied to the system at around 1.5 bar. The firm believes deployments like the installation with Flusys represent a “key [...]

The petition challenges a 2022 decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that ordered utilities to develop demonstration projects for 5% hydrogen blending with natural gas before network-wide injection could proceed. However, Southern California Gas (SoCalGas), San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southwest Gas Corporation argue the safety case for low-level blends has been “advanced” since the CPUC order. They stressed the petition does not oppose demonstration requirements in the 5–20% blend range. “Since 2022, a significant body of new research, operational data, and real-world experience has emerged,” the utilities said, adding that utilities globally had already safely demonstrated [...]

Anion exchange membrane company Versogen said it would jointly develop and commercialise stack and electrolyser solutions for India’s green hydrogen market with InSolare, after the Indian firm won subsidies for electrolyser making. Under the deal, InSolare will license Versogen’s stack IP and know-how, while building up its own materials and design capabilities in India, with Versogen supplying its membrane technology and technical experience. While the pair have not disclosed the deal’s value, InSolare plans to set up 250–300MW of manufacturing capacity, which could scale up to 1GW. The company has been selected for Indian government subsidies covering 10MW of annual [...]

Ahead of the nation’s next government taking office on 11 March, the current administration intends to lower production targets, revise projected costs, and prioritise local capabilities. Energy minister Álvaro García said the administration wanted to “bequeath” the next government with a strategy that “maintains the conviction to take advantage” of green hydrogen, but that was grounded in its “new scenario” where national demand needs more support. The draft strategy discards the ambitious 25GW of electrolysis by 2030 target, and replaces it with domestic consumption goals of 100,000–200,000 tonnes per year. It also targets export volumes of between 300,000 and 700,000 [...]

Located near the A7 motorway within the Neumünster logistics hub, the station was inaugurated by hydrogen refuelling developer Hypion in November 2023 to support heavy-duty vehicle deployments. According to Hypion, the station was the first of its size to comply with the EU’s Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which mandates hydrogen refuelling stations every 200km along core roads and in every urban node by 2030. While the acquisition’s value remains undisclosed, the station becomes MB Energy’s fourth operational hydrogen refuelling site. It will be integrated into the Tankpool24 network, which includes over 2,000 stations – covering diesel, LNG, and hydrogen [...]

The hydrogen was produced by Protium’s 40kg per day Pioneer 1 facility in South Wales, and has begun replacing the volumes of grey hydrogen used by Oxccu’s OX1 facility at London Oxford Airport. Commissioned in 2024, the OX1 plant is testing the start-up’s SAF production technology, slated to simplify the traditional multi-stage SAF production pathway, which the firm claims will reduce complexity, losses, and carbon intensity. The plant currently has capacity to produce 1.2 litres of fuel per day. The process can convert either separate streams of hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide or hydrogen-rich syngas into SAF using a specialist [...]

The Conceptual Public Participation Plan (PCPP) will run until March 27 through information points in each of the region’s 39 municipalities to gather opinions and views on the project. The PCPP will ultimately produce a final report incorporating the social and environmental solutions raised. Enagás also plans to hold eight one-day participatory seminars, educating the public on the backbone network. The consultation comes after a similar informational initiative launched last year in the Extremadura region. Enagás is leading the development of four key infrastructure projects across the country, including the hydrogen backbone, linking the Iberian Peninsula to Central Europe. It [...]
