The project, being developed by Thames Freeport and UK start-up Chinook Hydrogen, plans to build a 12-tonne-per-day hydrogen plant on a brownfield site on the bank of the Thames in Tilbury to provide refuelling and off-grid EV charging. The developers are targeting 2028 for the first hydrogen production with hopes of supporting a national hydrogen refuelling network. Parallel to the Tilbury plant, the partners are eyeing a five-tonne-per-day project in Doncaster to act as a regional fuelling node. Using Chinook’s Rodecs technology to convert waste materials into hydrogen-rich syngas through high-temperature gasification and pyrolysis, the team says the projects will [...]

ExxonMobil’s CEO has warned that the shortened timeline under the 45V hydrogen tax credit could jeopardise the development of its flagship blue hydrogen project in Texas. Darren Woods told the oil and gas major’s latest earnings call that the new start-of-construction deadline – moved up from 2033 to the start of 2028 – may not provide enough time to secure sufficient offtakers for its Baytown project. “If we can’t see an eventual path to a market-driven business, we won’t move forward with the project,” he said.

In partnership with Neom’s energy and water subsidiary Enowa, they plan to test the hydrogen-powered Universe bus at high altitudes of 2,080m and steep 24% gradients. The project will simulate real-world passenger transport use cases, such as shuttle runs. The fuel cell-powered bus will use Enowa’s recently opened hydrogen refuelling station, which was part of a joint project with Air Products. H2 View understands that it’s the first station in the region. Hyundai called the trial an “important step in advancing Saudi Arabia’s vision, aimed at driving economic transformation and fostering future industries.” Large-scale projects, such as the $8.4bn Neom [...]

Set to arrive in September 2025, the electrolyser has been described as “megawatt level” and it uses four standard containers. The delivered package integrates gas-liquid gas separators, compressors, purification and power systems. H2 View understands the equipment will be used in a Portuguese government-backed hydrogen refuelling station in Porto, led by an undisclosed project developer. Trina has said its containerised package features quick connect hoses for rapid plug-and-play deployment, which reportedly cuts delivery times by over 50%. The Chinese OEM added that the delivery represents a “continuation of Trina’s globalisation strategy.” “Through localised operation and maintenance networks, [Trina] will shorten [...]

FRV, which is owned by Saudi Arabia’s Jameel Energy, will use the Chinese wind turbine maker’s AI-integrated renewable energy system to build the H2 Cumbuco’s 500MW electrolyser plant. Scheduled to begin output from 2030, the facility will supply both export and domestic markets. It is currently in “advanced development”, including engineering and environmental permitting. If successful, the project could be expanded to 2GW of electrolysers, producing 1.6 million tonnes of green ammonia per year. Envision’s AI system, which was recently unveiled at its own green ammonia plant in Dallan, China, supports off-grid production by converting surplus renewable power into liquid [...]

The “Hydrogen: Opportunities, uses and risks in the energy transition” report underscored the crucial role insurers, such as Allianz, will play in de-risking hydrogen projects – especially those involving emerging technologies and large-scale infrastructure. Driving the $3bn forecast is the over 1,500 hydrogen projects that have been announced as of mid-2024, requiring an estimated $680bn in investment by 2030. Unlike conventional fuels, Allianz stressed that hydrogen poses unique and well-known risks, such as embrittlement, high flammability, and leak potential, which demand bespoke coverage. As a result, Allianz noted, “Underwriters must carry out due diligence when providing coverage to prototypes, while [...]

The front-end engineering design (FEED) contract was awarded to a joint venture (JV) between the Spanish and Chinese companies, and will encompass the design of the 400,000-tonne green hydrogen plant and subsequent conversion to ammonia. The Yanbu Green Hydrogen project plans to combine 10GW of wind and solar power, and 4.4GW of electrolysis to produce 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia per year for export. The facility will be located in Yanbu Industrial City on the Red Sea coast, a key hub for Saudi Arabia’s hydrogen ambitions. The project’s first phase is scheduled to come online in 2030. The 10-month [...]

Under a feasibility development agreement, Uniper holds exclusive rights to assess all 13 caverns of the Salinae Hydrogen Storage project for hydrogen storage. The companies will jointly design the first two wells for potential hydrogen storage caverns, with development contingent on Uniper securing planning approval and government support. With no established hydrogen market, Uniper says a government-backed business model is needed to move the project forward. “Flexible energy storage is a fundamental component of both the energy transition and the security of the UK’s energy supply,” explained John Rixham, Uniper Head of Hydrogen Storage Development for the UK. “Cheshire has [...]

The goal comes as part of a strategic realignment announced by new President and CEO Marty Neese, as the company looks to turn the tide on its finances. Pitched as a “fundamental reset” in how the company operates, innovates, Neese said Ballard would be focusing on “the market as it is.” “We are aligning the Company around real, near-term opportunities where we have proven product-market fit and clear customer value, while driving toward a sustainable business model rooted in operational excellence and margin discipline,” he said. A company statement said the plan would involve “difficult decisions”, including job cuts. In [...]
