Announced in 2023, the project aimed to produce 1.2–1.4 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually, capturing and permanently storing about 95% of emissions from production through carbon capture technologies. However, in a joint statement, the companies said they will shift focus to projects with stronger returns, clearer policy support and greater market potential. “Yara will continue its ammonia strategy as previously communicated, evaluating and maturing equity investment opportunities in US ammonia to determine the optimal project portfolio,” the clean energy specialist said. The change in strategies reflects the economics facing blue ammonia, which was trading at around $552/tonne on the [...]

Backed by the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) under the Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) Competition, the two-week trial involved converting a natural gas furnace to operate flexibly on hydrogen. “It demonstrated that we can adapt our existing infrastructure to run on hydrogen without compromising safety, quality, or performance. It’s a practical step forward in reducing our site’s carbon footprint and preparing for a low-carbon future,” explained Allan Sweeny, Plant Manager at Novelis Latchford. The trial proved hydrogen can be safely used in aluminium recycling, according to the UK firm, giving Novelis confidence it could cut up [...]

As part of the EU-backed H2Haul initiative, the trucks will provide insights for future development. One has been in operation since May, with a second due to be integrated into the group’s logistics planning soon. The vehicle features a fuel cell module developed by OPmobility and VDL Enabling Transport Solutions (ETS) and can carry 40kg of hydrogen split across seven separate cylinders – about the same energy content as 137 litres of diesel, H2 View understands. The seven carbon fibre tanks, each with a 241-litre capacity, store a total of 1,687 litres of compressed hydrogen at 350 bar, with the [...]

Under the new partnership, ABO, which has developed 6.6GW of renewables, will provide Hydropulse with project development support from contacts to industrial offtakers and a portfolio of selected pre-developed projects. The pair will focus on developing plants on or near end-user sites for Hydropulse to build, own, and operate. Early efforts will be on Spain and Finland, which both offer some of the cheapest renewable power in Europe. “Promising initial projects with an imminent customer need for green hydrogen have already been identified,” a statement said. ITM launched Hydropulse in June to offer current industrial hydrogen users a molecule supply [...]

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) announced that Acme will supply 1,00,000 tonnes per year of green ammonia to IFFCO Paradeep’s site in Odisha under the agreement. Until today, the lowest bid in the auction had been ₹50.75/kg from Jakson Green. Acme has also gone from the most expensive first mover, with ₹55.75/kg ($0.64/kg) in the first auction, to the record-setting cost leader. The SECI stated on LinkedIn that the auction has proved that green ammonia is becoming affordable, bankable and scalable, with India setting industry benchmarks. “Guided by MNRE’s policy support, stimulated by the Department of Fertilisers capacity augmentation, anchored in [...]

The Belgian shipping group issued almost 96 million new shares to Golden Ocean investors at a 0.95-for-1 exchange ratio, cementing the stock-for-stock merger and securing listings in New York, Brussels and Oslo. The enlarged fleet boasts an average age of just over six years and includes more than 80 vessels prepared to use hydrogen or ammonia as a fuel. While H2 View understands that Golden Ocean’s carriers were not previously hydrogen or ammonia-ready, CMB.Tech’s dual-fuel technology could be extended across the enlarged fleet over time. “In less than 18 months, we have transformed a pure play crude oil tanker company [...]

The delivery of the 10 5MW alkaline electrolyser stacks netted the Swedish firm €14.9m ($17.3m). It comes as part of two orders for the hydrogen production technology placed by Motor Oil: one for 30MW and one for 20MW. Once fully installed, the 50MW plant will produce green hydrogen to replace partial volumes of grey hydrogen already used in the Corinth refinery, as well as supplying a recently opened refuelling station. The hydrogen production plant is being supported by €111.7m ($129.7m) in EU funding. The electrolysis system is based on pressurised alkaline technology licensed from China’s Peric, and is assembled at [...]

As electrolyser players look to secure their futures, businesses are looking toward trusted models that are underpinned by mass oil and gas experience. ERM’s Global Hydrogen Lead David Hart said pairing electrolyser technology with established engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) expertise offers investors bankable execution, cost control, and delivery assurance.

Confirmation of the deal, which is expected to close in the first semester of 2026, comes after the French industrial gases major was shortlisted for the final bidding round last month. Air Liquide said the acquisition “substantially strengthens” its market position in South Korea, which is the sixth largest manufacturing country by GDP and fourth largest industrial gas market. Under Macquarie Asset Management’s ownership over the last six years, DIG has become one of the largest industrial gas players in Korea to operate 60 plants and 220km of pipeline networks. It also has a foothold in the hydrogen space, which [...]

The sector must develop new production technologies and integrate them with renewables. It also needs the infrastructure and market conditions to scale before ammonia can realise its role in clean hydrogen. Among the biggest hurdles is cost. Electricity makes up 40–50% of production, putting efficiency at the centre of competitiveness. Ceres is betting on solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC). Designed to operate at high temperatures, the system could enable green ammonia at scale. By using waste heat from the process, Ceres says SOEC could reduce energy consumption by around 30% per kilogram of hydrogen produced. In its upcoming In Conversation with [...]
