The plant will convert around 500,000 tonnes of waste into SAF per year, using a hybrid production pathway that combines renewable-powered green hydrogen production and syngas from waste gasification. Once operational, the project is expected to serve multiple markets, in a bid to position Abu Dhabi as a regional SAF hub and support decarbonising a sector that accounted for over 18% of the UAE’s GDP in 2023, according to International Air Transport Association (IATA) data. Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO at Masdar, said the project will advance the UAE’s profile in sustainable aviation, supporting the growth of a sector critical [...]

The selection from German-based Stablegrid Group could see ITM provide electrolysers to its 30MW and 680MW developments aimed at producing green hydrogen during periods of surplus renewables for storage in underground caverns. The partners say the projects’ focus on grid-balancing could be significant, noting the “grid bridge” operating mode could help reduce negative redispatch costs, which they said amount to €2-3bn ($2.3–3.5bn) per year. In practice, this means using electrolysers to absorb surplus renewable power before redispatch measures, where system operators adjust power output to prevent or resolve grid bottlenecks, are triggered. “Reducing these costs to zero while putting surplus [...]

That was a key message from a new AVL whitepaper, hosted on h2-view.com, which warned that the absence of these components posed “significant challenges” for performance benchmarking, technology comparison, and certification. “This is particularly problematic as governments and certification agencies move toward results-based incentive schemes and compliance-driven evaluations,” it stated. The whitepaper detailed how an electrolyser’s Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) – the energy consumed to produce per unit of hydrogen – could vary between different technology types and plant designs, depending on how it is measured. It noted SEC calculations can be “oversimplified” and said AVL’s measurement approach included electrical [...]

In 2024, Swiss explorer Bertrand Piccard and French sailor Raphaël Dinelli announced plans to develop a non-stop hydrogen-powered aeroplane, and they established Climate Impulse. Under its partnership with Orange, the telecom operator is expected to optimise flight routes in real time, while ensuring a secure link between the aircraft and control centre through post-quantum cryptography technologies. Once the aircraft is operational, Orange will begin mapping routes using AI, according to Lyse Brillouet, the company’s Executive Director of Research. Brillouet added, “Our unique digital twin solutions, powered by data from Climate Impulse and its partners, can guide explorers on their journey.” [...]

Under the “Healthy Development Initiative”, signed by manufacturers such as Schaeffler Hydrogen Technology and Sinopec Hydrogen Energy, they aim to shift competition from the lowest price to the highest value. According to the China Hydrogen Alliance, the move follows direct guidance from Beijing to curb “involution-style” competition. The newly signed initiative ensures companies commit to avoiding below-cost bidding, overhyping electrolyser efficiency or lifetime, and inflating project announcements. The signatories also call for stronger technical standards, credible third-party data, and a shift toward innovation in anion exchange membrane (AEM), solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) and hybrid technologies rather than pure scale expansion. [...]

As the plant builder and operator, Sapio has begun construction of a 5MW electrolyser at Solvay’s facility. Meanwhile, renewable electricity from Solvay’s 10MW solar plant will be used to ensure green hydrogen production. In total, the electrolyser is expected to produce up to 756 tonnes of the energy carrier per year. H2 View understands that all of this capacity will be used to decarbonise peroxide production, potentially reducing the site’s CO2 emissions by up to 15%. The project has also secured €16m ($17m) in support from the Tuscan Region under Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), and will be [...]

The viability of green hydrogen and green ammonia projects as insurance risks was one focus at analyst group Wood Mackenzie’s Hydrogen Conference 2025 in London last week. With more and more hydrogen and ammonia projects reaching final investment, there remains a question of the long-term risks that attach to what are relatively new technologies that need to deliver reliably over decades.

The state-owned power producer operates a coal-to-chemicals complex in Duolun, where the green hydrogen could replace coal-derived feedstocks and syngas-based hydrogen in its processes. H2 View understands that the green hydrogen plant is expected to produce over six million tonnes of green hydrogen per year in the future. However, it has not been revealed how much it is currently producing. Duolun already features a 150MW wind and solar plant, which also sends surplus electricity to the grid. Since it started commercial operations in 2012, the Duolun complex has mainly produced polypropylene, propylene, and methanol, with the latter accounting for most [...]

Expected to support the Port of Long Beach region in California, US, the facility will use fuelling and dispensing technology supplied by OneH2, while Pacific Clean Fuels operates and manages the station infrastructure. OneH2 is also likely to supply the hydrogen. The company operates a steam methane reforming (SMR) plant in Long Beach, which can produce six tonnes of grey hydrogen per day. Hyroad acquired 113 hydrogen fuel-cell trucks through Nikola Corporation’s bankruptcy auction, following the manufacturer’s collapse in February with around $47m in cash remaining. Although notably, Nikola recalled 95 hydrogen trucks due to the potential incorrect mounting of [...]
