It revealed the definition encompassing ammonia produced with renewable energy processed through the grid or banked in storage systems. An upper limit for non-biogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from production is set at 0.38kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kg of ammonia. The production process is taken as including green hydrogen production, ammonia cracking, purification, and on-site storage. GHG emissions are to be measured as an average over a 12-month period. The benchmark is technically stringent, exceeding even the EU’s renewable fuels of non-biological origin limit of 3.38kg CO2e per kg of hydrogen, equating to an emissions limit around 0.6kg [...]

Following calls from trade bodies, Thyssenkrupp Nucera, Quest One, Siemens Energy, Sunfire, and Stoff2 said the German parliament should increase 2030 mobility quotas for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) by over 1%. It comes as the lower house is expected to sign off on the cabinet-approved GHG-Quota on 17 March, which implements targets for RFNBO consumption in road mobility under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). Under Berlin’s current proposal, RFNBOs like green hydrogen and e-fuels will need to make up 0.1% of transport energy by 2026, growing to 1.2% in 2030, and 8% by 2040. The government [...]

The US’s clean ammonia scale-up faces increased safety risks and ballooning project costs for uncertain economic benefits. That’s the harsh takeaway from a recent report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), which warned government subsidies could be wasted on supporting the hydrogen and nitrogen compound.

The package secures Atome 15 years’ worth of debt financing on “highly competitive terms” from the European Investment Bank, Inter-American Investment Corporation, and arms of the Dutch government and United Nations. It would finance the construction of the company’s first green hydrogen-based fertiliser production project in Villeta, Paraguay, which had intended to take FID on at the end of last year. The $630m project will produce calcium ammonium nitrate, using green hydrogen made from 145MW of hydropowered electrolysis as a feedstock. Fertiliser maker Yara has committed to buying 100% of the plant’s output under a 10-year offtake deal. However, the [...]

AI-driven data centre growth is creating new competition for renewable electricity, raising concerns about rising power prices for green hydrogen producers. Raffi Garabedian, CEO of electrolyser maker Electric Hydrogen, told a H2 View webinar that competition for clean power from data centres has become a “significant headwind” for US hydrogen projects. However, the effect may moderate in the coming years. This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The application is for NewHydrogen’s Thermoloop water-splitting process and associated equipment for use with new material compositions uncovered by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Coming off the back of a 2023 research agreement, the technology is positioned as a low-cost, more efficient way to produce green hydrogen than conventional electrolysis, using abundant materials. Technical details remain thin. However, the process is designed to operate at temperatures below 1,000°C, using any available sources of heat and water. The process relies on a thermochemical cycle in which heat drives a series of reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. [...]

The company’s losses narrowed to $90.9m for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025, from $323.5m in 2024 after cash operating costs were cut by 32%. The gains were primarily made in the fourth quarter, where Ballard logged $33.6m in revenues with a gross margin of 17%. Fuel cell deliveries also grew 40% year-on-year, with almost 800 units. Heavy-duty mobility saw a resurgence, with a 70% increase in revenues to $28.6m, primarily from bus and rail orders. Stationary revenues fell 54% to $3.2m. The turnaround follows wide-ranging cost-cutting programs and the appointment of new CEO Marty Neese.” “We exited the [...]

German hydrogen and clean fuel industry groups are urging Berlin to raise mandatory quotas for green hydrogen in transport and retain penalties for companies that fail to comply. The German Hydrogen Association (DWV), Power-to-X, eFuel Alliance, and others urged the government to increase the minimum quota of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) under its GHG-Quota law. Approved by the cabinet in December, the GHG-Quota will implement targets for RFNBO consumption in road mobility under the EU-set Renewable Energy Directive (RED III).

The demonstration facility, subsidised by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Development Organisation (NEDO), uses a liquid hydrogen pump and an intermediate fluid vaporiser (IFV) to power a large-scale gas turbine. The pair are using the project to advance the fuel system’s performance in a hydrogen cogeneration system, which uses hydrogen to produce heat and electricity. Kawasaki is overseeing the hydrogen fuel supply system, while Kobe is developing the IFV, which uses energy derived from the cryogenic temperature of liquified hydrogen for separate applications like refrigerators and air conditioning. In a statement, the duo said it is aiming to establish a [...]

The Central Finland Mobility Foundation (Cefmof), founded by the City of Jyväskylä and Toyota subsidiaries, said the containerised unit supplied by Japanese tech firm Asahi Kasei would be installed and integrated at the site in Jyväskylä through the spring and summer. The electrolyser will be installed next to a hydrogen refuelling station that has operated since summer 2025, supplying a fleet of five hydrogen fuel cell buses. Since opening, the station has relied on green hydrogen deliveries from P2X Solutions’ plant in Harjavalta, nearly 300km away. Deliveries will continue to supplement on-site production. Once operational, the Asahi Kasei electrolyser will [...]
