The electrolysers will be used to produce hydrogen for storage and dispensing on-site at a refuelling station planned for a former German Armed Forces base in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia. The station will be operated by Regional Transport Cologne (RVK), which is already using over 100 hydrogen buses – adding to its existing stations in Meckenheim and Wermelskirchen. Marking RVK’s first station with integrated hydrogen production, the site will produce up to 900kg of hydrogen per day. Engineering firm Ingenion will deliver the project, which is expected to begin operations by the end of 2026. Formerly H-Tec Systems, Quest One announced [...]

Under project Eco2Fly, the project partners will capture a portion of the CO2 produced at Holcim’s cement plant. The new facility in Toledo is designed to capture over 700,000 tonnes of CO2 per year during cement production, while the unused CO2 will be permanently stored underground. In an online statement, the partners claimed Eco2Fly will avoid emissions of over 6.5 million tonnes of CO2 across its first 10 years of operation. The three companies plan to submit the initiative to the next call of the EU’s Innovation Funds to de-risk the high Capex project. José Antonio Membiela, CEO of Ignis [...]

Currently under construction at the Fincantieri Ancona shipyard in Italy, the vessel is scheduled for delivery in late 2026. Additionally, a subsequent ship will also be delivered for Viking at the shipyard a year later – also hydrogen-powered and dubbed the Viking Astrea. Fincantieri’s subsidiary, Isotta Fraschini Motori (IFM), will provide fuel cell technology tailor-made for the ‘Viking Libra’ cruise ship, capable of delivering 6MW of power. The vessel will be able to load and store hydrogen directly onboard the ship via its containerised system. With a gross tonnage of approximately 54,300 tonnes and a length of 239 metres, the [...]

Part of the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park near Leipzig, the pipeline will deliver up to 2,700 tonnes of green hydrogen per year to the Leuna refinery once the facility comes online at the end of 2025. The hydrogen will be produced using Sunfire alkaline electrolysers, powered by an on-site wind farm. The project – which is being undertaken by Uniper, Terrawatt, Ontras and VNG – reached a €210m final investment decision (FID) in 2023. Led by German gas network operator Ontras, the project team has disconnected the pipeline from the natural gas grid, reinforced it for hydrogen use, and completed [...]

The Kassø power-to-X facility in Aabenraa is the “world’s first” commercial-scale e-methanol facility, with an annual capacity of 42,000 tonnes. Last month, the Kassø plant produced its first molecules of hydrogen-derived e-methanol. The certification was granted through the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU scheme. It confirmed that the methanol production meets renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) criteria. In an online statement, European Energy claimed the certification is a first of its kind for methanol production. The process covered independent verification of renewable electricity sourcing, and the carbon origin used in production. The ISCC’s certification also means that [...]

The Young Hydrogen Professional Network will give members access to Hydrogen UK’s briefings and industry reports, as well as discounts on events, to support careers. The programme will be chaired by Megan Backhouse, Senior Project Engineer at BOC, who won the Future Hydrogen Leader Award at the trade body’s annual conference and awards last week. “This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for young professionals to connect, learn, and contribute to the future of hydrogen,” Backhouse said. The launch comes at a crucial time in the hydrogen market, where various companies have recently cut jobs as they look to reduce spending. [...]

The whitepaper by Druck, hosted on h2-view.com, warned that many sensors marketed “hydrogen-compatible” can suffer from issues such as drift, embrittlement, and permeation when exposed to harsh, high-pressure hydrogen environments. Hydrogen sensors are used throughout the value chain – from electrolysers and fuelling stations to pipelines and storage – providing real-time monitoring to ensure safety, efficiency and compliance. However, the paper notes that long-term drift specifications are often quoted under ideal conditions, which do not account for real-world factors such as temperature swings, hydrogen impurities, and pressure cycling. Over time, it says this can cause sensors to deviate from accurate [...]

Instead of the usual comments around regulation, investment and offtakes, she stressed the importance of understanding hydrogen’s physical and technical properties – without which, it stands to reason, the industry cannot evolve. “Many people think that hydrogen’s clean and that’s really not the case – it depends on how it is produced, managed and used,” she said. “Limiting emissions isn’t just about CO2 and methane, but hydrogen itself – it’s also an indirect greenhouse gas, and has 37 times more power than CO2 over a 20-year period. And that’s quite often being forgotten when some of these big decisions are [...]

While details on the project are thin, the plans were confirmed by Egypt’s Transportation Ministry. The agreement was signed in Cairo during President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Egypt. On Monday (April 7), the two nations signed numerous strategic agreements covering health, transport and energy to help shore up Egypt’s stability. “Egypt is a strategic partner for our country,” President Macron said. “I would thus like to reaffirm France’s commitment to ensuring the stability of Egypt given the context of a worsening climate in the region and as the Egyptian economy faces challenges.” By 2030, Egypt aims to capture 5-7% of [...]
