The partnership will give Mantle8 access to its GeoVerse geological database and Sercel WiNG DFU-3C passive seismic sensors for natural hydrogen activities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Mantle8 said the technology will help image entire hydrogen systems and de-risk drilling programmes. “Europe is blessed with abundant, low-emission natural hydrogen, and the drive to map these resources and start drilling is stronger than ever. This partnership gives us the ability to reach that goal much faster,” said Emmanuel Masini, founder and CEO of Mantle8. Mantle8 has already reported some of the highest recorded hydrogen concentrations in France and [...]

RVK has kicked off ground works for its Green Mobile Home Park outside of Cologne, where its expected 160-strong hydrogen bus fleet will be fuelled. The 15,000m2 site in Bergisch Gladbach Moitzfeld will host a hydrogen refuelling station with integrated green hydrogen production, alongside charging for battery-electric vehicles. The operator has not revealed the station’s capacity, electrolyser size, or equipment suppliers. However, H2 View understands the facility will host its own solar PV system to power the electrolyser. RVK has been building up its fleet of hydrogen fuel cell buses since 2011. The fleet is expected to reach 160 buses [...]

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed with the Research, Development, and Innovation Authority (RDI) of Saudi Arabia, will be part of Stargate’s plans to establish a regional headquarters in Riyadh. Stargate will likely need to adapt its electrolyser designs to local supply chains and standards in Saudi Arabia. The firm has secured partnerships with Saudi academic institutions, such as Kaust, to generate local IP. RDI and the Ministry of Investment have set up a programme to lure global tech start-ups into local manufacturing in the Middle East. Apex Ventures facilitated Stargate’s entry under this programme. “Saudi Arabia offers a unique [...]

The Finnish-headquartered industrial firm said the plant, based on its Circored technology, can continuously pre-reduce iron using hydrogen as the sole reducing agent. Pre-reduction partially removes oxygen from iron ore. This stops the process at an intermediate oxide stage before final smelting or reduction. In Metso’s Circored process, iron ore fines are fluidised, then exposed to high-temperature hydrogen gas to strip away oxygen. The plant integrates pre-heating, reduction, gas cleaning, and hydrogen/dust recirculation systems. Electric heaters are also used in the process. In the future, the system could be linked with Metso’s DRI smelting furnace to support cleaner steelmaking. The [...]

Through WA’s New Energies Industries Funding Stream, support will be provided under the Investment Attraction Fund (IAF). The government will accept applications from companies focused on developing green hydrogen, green iron and steel, critical mineral processing, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects. In its first round in 2024, the IAF awarded AUD 60m to five projects. These included decarbonised steel manufacturing, converting critical minerals into battery precursors, developing battery materials, and carbon capture ventures. “One of my government’s key priorities is diversifying the WA economy so that it remains the strongest in the nation,” said WA Premier, Roger [...]

Under the partnership, Plug will supply its GenDrive fuel cells to replace battery and fossil fuel use in forklifts, distribution centres and industrial hubs. The Brazilian infrastructure firm GH2 will handle local project integration, permitting and rollout of Plug technologies. The initial focus of the collaboration will be on large logistics and industrial poles, with expansion to other strategic regions of Brazil planned down the line. In its latest earnings report, Plug Power signalled growth ambitions in material handling as it works to cut costs and reach margin neutrality by Q4 2025. Plug CEO Andy Marsh said partnering with GH2 [...]

The state-backed company plans to use anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis technology with efficiencies of 82-88% to produce green hydrogen. PGE has not disclosed either the chosen electrolyser supplier or the expected commissioning date. Using geothermal energy to produce green hydrogen provides a flexible offtake for its baseload electricity, creating value beyond traditional power sales. Julfi Hadi, the company’s President Director, confirmed plans to generate green ammonia and green methanol too, opening up new revenue streams beyond selling power to the grid. “Through this step, PGE emphasises business transformation towards beyond electricity and beyond business, making geothermal the foundation of [...]

The 13.9-metre H2 Coach is slated to have a range of at least 800km from 46kg of hydrogen stored in two tanks and a 300kW fuel cell unit from Daimler’s joint venture with Volvo, Cellcentric. Based on the existing battery-electric S 517 HD coach, the fuel cell will drive the central electric motor to offer up to 400kW of output, with a battery pack serving as temporary energy storage to support the fuel cell under high loads. The test drives come ahead of plans for series production of the fuel cell vehicle. Daimler has not disclosed a planned start date. [...]

Luxembourg-based Luxaviation, one of the world’s largest operators, plans to blend SAF into its fuel supply to cut lifecycle CO₂ emissions, respond to client demand for lower-carbon travel, and comply with upcoming EU mandates. Under the Europe ReFuelEU Aviation legislation, aircraft fuel suppliers must ensure a 2% SAF blend, which will incrementally increase to a 70% share by 2050. In 2023, Luvaviation launched its Go-to-Zero investment fund to foster SAF production and use. The Haffner deal builds on that strategy by locking in long-term supply under fixed terms. However, exact volumes remain undisclosed. “For Luxaviation, securing long-term SAF supply is [...]

Worth $52.3m, the facility is expected to produce around eight tonnes of hydrogen per day. The green fuel will be used to power the port streetlights and an electric vehicle charging station. The project will support India’s first domestic green shipping corridor between Kandla and Tuticorin, led by fleet and port operators, including V.O. Chidambaranar Port. It’s slated to be launched in late 2025. Plans were also announced for a 750-metre green hydrogen-based methanol bunkering and refuelling pilot project at the port. “The projects launched today will generate thousands of jobs, attract global investments and position Tamil Nadu as a [...]
