H2-View News: Linde LienHwa to debut Taiwan’s first hydrogen-powered truck
The Linde-led joint venture with local partners, which operates as Taiwan’s largest industrial gas supplier, is pushing into hydrogen mobility and industrial applications in Taiwan. As part of the truck launch at the Energy Taiwan Net Zero Sustainability Expo, Linde’s Global Director of Commercialisation, Dr. Joachim von Schéele, will present the company’s latest hydrogen technologies. The vehicle is expected to serve as a live demonstration platform for the government agencies, operators, and industrial partners to evaluate hydrogen-powered transport. “Compared to battery-electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have clear advantages: fast refuelling, extended range, and higher payload capacity,” stated Christine Miao, [...]

H2-View News: Air Liquide sees industrial hydrogen as core growth driver as Q3 revenues dip
The category complements investment in electronics and healthcare, the energy transition – such as the 200MW ELYgator electrolyser project in the Netherlands – and strategic and bolt-on acquisitions, with DIG Airgas in South Korea and most recently, NovAir in India. Earlier this month, the French multinational group announced it will invest $50m to upgrade existing hydrogen infrastructure as part of newly signed hydrogen supply deals with two US refiners. The investment will expand pipeline capacity and integrate new distribution systems to strengthen its footprint in Texas, where it already operates pipeline infrastructure and its La Porte hydrogen facility. Speaking on [...]
H2-View News: Fabrum leads liquid hydrogen aircraft refuelling at Christchurch Airport
Project partners Fabrum, AMSL Aero, and Stralis Aircraft used locally produced and stored liquid hydrogen for the demonstration. For the first time in the APAC region, the core parts of hydrogen-electric aviation, from production and liquefaction to storage and refuelling, were demonstrated. “Our lightweight composite tanks, together with our hydrogen liquefier and refuelling systems, are critical enablers for hydrogen-powered flight,” explained Christopher Boyle, Fabrum’s Managing Director. “We’re proving that liquid-hydrogen technologies for aircraft are now available and that hydrogen-electric flight will soon be a reality in Australasia.” After opening a liquid hydrogen testing facility last February, Fabrum led the project [...]
H2-View News: Topsoe to supply 55MW SOEC for Spanish green hydrogen-based methanol plant
The Danish technology firm said the system would be used at Forestal del Atlántico’s Triskelion project in Galicia, which is expected to produce 57,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year. The project secured a €49m ($57.1m) grant from the EU Innovation Fund and will combine green hydrogen with around 78,000 tonnes of captured carbon dioxide to produce the low-carbon chemical. With a final investment decision due in Q2 2026, the deal will mark Topsoe’s first commercial deployment of its SOEC technology and includes a 10-year service warranty programme. Forestal expects the project to be online by 2028 to supply e-methanol in [...]
H2-View News: Griesemann wins FEED and EPCM contracts for Hydrogenious’ LOHC project
Project owner and technology provider Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies plans to construct the world’s largest liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) hydrogen release plant. The “Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube” initiative, which was awarded €72m ($84m) in EU, national, and regional funding, will be built at the Bayernoil refinery in Bavaria, Germany. Green hydrogen is expected to replace grey hydrogen currently produced from natural gas at the plant, reducing up to 16,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The German engineering firm will carry out the FEED phase until H2 2026, culminating in a final investment decision (FID). If approved, then Griesemann will [...]
H2-View News: H2Accelerate pushes for equal treatment of hydrogen ICEs in EU policy
Hydrogen truck lobbyist H2Accelerate is calling for European policymakers to treat hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles the same as fuel cell and electric alternatives. In a new whitepaper, the group made up of OEMs, gas suppliers, and oil and gas majors said hydrogen ICE vehicles had been “excluded” from incentivising mechanisms, despite their potential to cut emissions and manufacturing costs.

H2-View News: Japan approves first two projects under $20bn hydrogen CfD scheme
Both projects are recognised as low-carbon hydrogen supply business plans and are set to receive subsidies under the Hydrogen Society Promotion Act. The first project, led by Toyota Tsusho, Eurus Energy, Iwatani, and Aichi Steel, is expected to produce 1,600 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. Electrolysis powered by onshore wind will be used to support Aichi’s special steel manufacturing. Meanwhile, the second Resonac-Nippon Shokubai partnership will gasify waste plastics and textiles at Resonac’s Kawasaki plant to produce hydrogen for feedstock in low-carbon ammonia production. A 30–40MW natural gas and hydrogen-fuelled unit will also be installed to cut the site’s [...]
H2-View News: Chilean utility inaugurates electrolyser to replace grey hydrogen in power plant cooling
Installed at its 368MW Nehuenco thermoelectric complex, which supplies over half a million homes, the electrolyser is powered by an off-grid power system to provide hydrogen for cooling in the plant’s generators. Representing a $1.6m investment, the facility includes a 100kW solar farm with batteries, the electrolyser, and storage tanks. Hydrogen is used in large power plant generators as a cooling gas because of its high thermal conductivity and low density, which efficiently removes heat from components, thereby reducing energy losses compared to air. Colbún has not disclosed the new installation’s production capacity, but said the installation would reduce up [...]
H2-View News: Kingspan explores hydrogen-based steel supply from Thailand with Meranti
The material will be made using scrap and hydrogen-based hot briquetted iron (HBI) produced at Meranti’s Oman facility, processed through electric arc furnaces (EAFs) in Thailand. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Kingspan aims to move closer to its goal of using low-carbon steel across its manufacturing operations. The Irish multinational manufactures high-performance insulation and building envelope solutions. Located on Thailand’s east coast, Meranti’s green steel plant is “on track” to break ground at the end of 2026, ahead of commissioning in 2029. The site will use scrap and hydrogen-based HBI from Oman as feedstock, processed in EAFs powered increasingly [...]
