H2-View News: WA government offers Japan stake in 26GW green hydrogen and renewables project: reports
The planned 26GW renewables hub for green hydrogen and ammonia in Pilbara suffered a setback last month when BP pulled out of its 64% stake, leaving InterContinental Energy and CWP Global as co-developers, who have reportedly insisted the project will still proceed. The WA government is courting Japanese energy firms to step into the AUD $50bn ($33bn) project, with Japan seen as a natural replacement investor given its reliance on imports and long-term hydrogen demand. Japan’s interest is evident – oil major ENEOS announced a small-scale green hydrogen export project in Australia last year, though developers there have also faced [...]
H2-View News: Chile submits $2.8bn offtaker-focused green hydrogen subsidy plan to Congress
Chile’s Ministry of Finance has submitted a $2.8bn green hydrogen tax credit bill to the country’s lower house. The “Bill to Promote the Green Hydrogen Industry” proposes to allocate tax credits through six competitive auctions between 2025 and 2030 to domestic offtakers purchasing green hydrogen. Separately, it offers special tax incentives to producers located in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica region.

H2-View News: Egypt’s SCZONE partners with Japanese firms on ammonia and hydrogen bunkering
One deal will see SCZONE partner with Japan’s Itochu Corporation and Egypt’s Orascom Construction to develop ammonia bunkering facilities, while another agreement with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government focuses on knowledge sharing for green hydrogen bunkering. A second agreement involves discussions with Sumitomo Corporation on creating a new industrial zone within SCZONE to attract Asian investment, with potential cooperation in fuel bunkering, green hydrogen, green steel, desalination, and infrastructure projects. While the reports don’t specify which fuels will be supplied, liquid hydrogen’s cryogenic challenges make ammonia the more practical choice, due to its storage requirements — hence hydrogen-based ammonia’s prominence in [...]
H2-View News: Hyundai launches fully redesigned Nexo with extended range and higher output
Hyundai’s updated SUV is longer, wider and taller, with hydrogen storage boosted to 6.69kg (up from 6.33kg), extending its range beyond 700km compared with 666km in the previous model. Additionally, the fuel cell stack now delivers 110kW gross, increasing the motor output to 150kW (201hp). The fuel cell is paired with an onboard battery, which has had its capacity doubled from 40kW to 80kW. When the vehicle was first unveiled earlier this year, Hyundai highlighted its ‘Route Planner11’ that integrates hydrogen refuelling stations into a planned journey. The updated Nexo was presented at the 13th World Congress of the Econometric [...]
H2-View News: Norwegian Hydrogen and GreenIron to co-locate hydrogen and DRI plants
The two companies first collaborated last year, after Norwegian Hydrogen agreed to deliver green hydrogen from its Hellesylt plant to GreenIron’s first full-scale furnace for direct reduction of metals in Sandviken. Under a new strategic cooperation, the partners plan to open up opportunities for wider hydrogen adoption across surrounding industries, supporting the Norwegian region’s broader green transition. “This agreement strengthens our ability to deliver integrated, fossil-free solutions to key players in the steel and metals sector,” explained Jens Berge, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen. “Together with GreenIron, we are creating a scalable model for hydrogen-based industrial transformation, building on experience from [...]
H2-View News: ZeroAvia edges closer to certification with FAA approval of special conditions
The latest update follows the G-1 issued by the FAA last February. The P-1 Issue Paper outlines the conditions that ZeroAvia’s technology must meet, showing that the regulator and company are aligned on the certification pathway. Once the FAA publishes the Special Conditions in the Federal Register, the means of compliance will be determined in the next stage of certification, ahead of market entry. “Getting this electric propulsion system certified and into service will be a monumental leap in the next great transition in aviation,” explained Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO, ZeroAvia. “Electrifying aviation will deliver a step change in [...]
H2-View News: Sungrow opens hydrogen technology lab to drive European electrolyser R&D
Located at Munich Airport Business Park, the lab positions Sungrow directly in Europe’s hydrogen industry, closer to customers, regulators and partners. H2 View understands that the facility complements Sungrow’s 30MW electrolysis demonstration platform and its established research centres in China to form a “complete innovation chain.” The lab has also been built fully compliant with German safety regulations, which is important for production credibility and market entry. In terms of technical capabilities, the facility is equipped with material development and fabrication and system validation, including pressurised electrochemical characterisation and PEM assembly. Additionally, the lab is designed with capacity for future [...]
