H2-View News: RWE awarded over €500m to build 100MW electrolyser plant in Eemshaven
The German energy firm plans to connect the electrolyser, located adjacent to the 1.4GW Magnum Power Station, to the 795MW OranjeWind offshore wind farm being developed in collaboration with TotalEnergies. Funding is expected to support the project’s next phase. Before RWE can take a final investment decision (FID), it must carry out the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED), identify construction partners and secure offtake. The milestone comes almost a year after RWE secured construction and environmental permits to build the electrolyser plant in Eemshaven. Last year, the firm announced that the FID is contingent on the development of necessary hydrogen [...]

H2-View News: Nepal eyes $51m green hydrogen and fuel cell plant
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two companies will prepare a Detailed Feasibility Study Report for the initiative. The plant is expected to need around $51m in total investment, from planning to commissioning. Under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, where both the government of Nepal, through the IBN, and the private sector partner, G-Philos, will share roles, responsibilities and risks. If realised, the project would deliver the country’s first commercial-scale green hydrogen and fuel cell project. The project could leverage Nepal’s abundant hydropower as a feedstock for hydrogen production. The nation has already explored the potential of hydrogen through [...]
H2-View News: India and Japan sign clean hydrogen and ammonia cooperation agreement
India’s renewable energy ministry and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have said the two countries are to work together on hydrogen and ammonia value chains and support low-carbon development. The countries will focus on five key areas of cooperation: research and innovation, policy, standards and trade facilitation, trade and investment, and international talks. They will also prioritise port and infrastructure development, as well as supply chains and trade corridors. “Through this [declaration], participants believe that India and Japan will leverage their combined strength to promote hydrogen/ammonia ecosystems in India, Japan and third countries,” a statement from METI [...]
H2-View News: Germany pushes H2Global funding towards €3bn under 2026 federal budget
The update follows February’s launch of the second H2Global auction, which earmarked €2.5bn ($2.9bn) across four regional lots and one global lot. The revised 10-year funding structure is seen as critical for giving producers the bankable certainty to reach final investment decisions (FID). According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWK), each regional lot would receive €58m ($68m) annually from 2029 to 2038, a total of €580m ($680m) per lot, while the revised global lot would provide €30m ($35m) per year from 2032 to 2041, amounting to €300m ($351m) in total.

However, the Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) spinout did not disclose the size of the stakes or the amount of capital each new investor will contribute. “JSE is bringing together technologies for the production, transportation, storage, and supply of liquefied hydrogen,” JSE said in an online statement. Founded in 2021, JSE is leading Japan’s first commercial-scale [...]
H2-View News: Walmart Chile debuts country’s first hydrogen-powered long-haul truck
Built by Feichi Technology and developed in collaboration with Grupo Marval, the vehicle features a 120kW fuel cell powered by 75kg of stored green hydrogen. The 49-tonne prototype is reported to have a range of up to 750km and will support the retail giant’s advance towards low-emission logistics operations. H2 View understands that green hydrogen will be provided from Latin America’s “first” industrial green hydrogen plant. The $15m project was developed by Walmart Chile in collaboration with Engie at its Quilicura distribution centre. The facility, equipped with a 0.6MW alkaline electrolyser from Green Hydrogen Systems (technology has since been acquired [...]
