The Amsterdam Municipal Executive awarded the H2Avennet project with the subsidy from its Climate and Energy Fund. The funding will cover early-stage development and engineering, with total project costs yet to be disclosed. Being undertaken by Alliander subsidiary Firan, the network will connect hydrogen importers, producers, and users, with hydrogen operating between 8 and 16 bar. The network will link the port, the North Sea Canal, and the HoojTij industrial estate, targeting industrial hydrogen users. It could also feed into the Dutch national hydrogen network in the future. Firan is currently in the design stage, with a final investment decision [...]

Singaporean start-up Meranti Green Steel said it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Anmah Energy to explore offtake from the consortium’s major electrolysis facility. Meranti plans to build a facility which will use natural gas and green hydrogen-fuelled direct reduced iron (DRI) to produce 2.5 mtpa hot briquetted iron (HBI) in Oman’s Duqm special economic zone. Anmah – made up of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), Blue Power Partners, and Al Khadra – was awarded a 320km2 block of land in Duqm to develop a 200,000-tonne green hydrogen plant under Oman’s first public auction. The duo said linking the green [...]

Funded via Ofgem’s Network Innovation Allowance, the project will assess whether oxygen can act as a practical inhibitor to embrittlement. Penspen will also analyse alternative gas inhibitors, delivery mechanisms, and the design requirements for an oxygen dosing system suitable for National Gas’ planned hydrogen network. The company’s Innovation Engineer, Robert Best, explained that inhibitors could allow hydrogen pipelines to operate at higher pressures with greater pressure flexibility. This could improve throughput, asset utilisation, and overall network efficiency. “However, significant challenges remain with regard to the implementation of this technology,” Best added. The British transmission system operator is developing a 1,500-mile [...]

The Tree Valley station in Tainan is a demonstration site intended to act as a platform linking government, industry, and academia to advance local hydrogen applications. CPC’s Nanzih station in Kaohsiung can serve up to seven hydrogen buses per day and supports both 700 bar and 350 bar fuel cell vehicles. “With support from authorities and multiple partners, every step in this project became the first of its kind in Taiwan,” said Jeng-Zen Fang, Chairman at CPC. A heavy-duty fuel cell truck, which was announced in October, will join LLH’s fleet once regulatory inspections and capacity validation are completed. “This [...]

Under the agreement, Orlen will supply 360kg of hydrogen per day to fuel 18 Solaris buses, with the option to expand to 27 vehicles. Deliveries are expected to begin next year when the buses are rolled out. Up to 400,000kg of hydrogen will be delivered over the PLN 24.1m ($6.7m) contract, but that could increase to 550,000kg if the option for extra vehicles is actioned. A hydrogen refuelling station on Łukasiewicza Street will provide the fuel for KM Płock buses and individual vehicles. The transport authority has previously deployed 12 and 18-metre hydrogen buses in the Polish city and tested [...]

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) will see Kyocera International explore producing Utility’s ceramic-metal electrochemical cell technology within in global manufacturing footprint in a bid to speed up time-to-market. The partnership aims to establish “high-volume” production lines, with initial plans of bringing capacity online in 2026 at Kyocera’s Fine Ceramics manufacturing facility in North Carolina, US. Additional sites could be expanded globally if demand for the technology grows. Utility’s H2Gen tech can take low-pressure steam and pre-treated industrial off-gases to produce hydrogen at 95% purity, alongside high-purity CO2. It uses thousands of cermet tubes coated with functional layers, which hold steam [...]

Germany’s 2030 green hydrogen in transport quotas could require 1.1GW–4.2GW of electrolyser installations, according to US PEM player Electric Hydrogen. Earlier this week, Berlin approved its GHG-Quota, which would force fuel suppliers to reduce emissions by almost 60% in 2040, while implementing key parts of the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III.

The Norwegian OEM has taken a final investment decision (FID) to build 1GW of production capacity at its Herøya facility. Representing an investment of NOK 300m ($29m), Nel will receive up to €135m ($158m) from the EU Innovation Fund, covering up to 60% of the industrialisation costs. Nel says its pressurised alkaline system costs less to build, uses less electricity, and can therefore produce hydrogen for less. The next-generation, pressurised technology also reduces downstream costs and is fully modular and skid-based. Nel aims for a commercial launch in 2026, with deliveries starting in 2027. “A significantly improved levelised cost of [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding, Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology could produce hydrogen in Whyalla to replace natural gas in iron reduction and synthetic graphite for use in electric arc furnaces. M Resources argues it will be able to produce steel with much lower emissions and at a lower cost than using green hydrogen alone. However, Hazer’s selection as the preferred technology option will only apply if M Resources successfully purchases the steelworks. One Steel Manufacturing’s (OSM) facility is currently being offered for sale by its administrator, KordaMentha, through a process managed by 333 Capital. If the bid is approved, Hazer [...]

The UK electrolyser maker said the two projects had a combined capacity of 70MW. In Australia, ITM was handed a basic design engineering package contract by an “industrial customer”, while in Canada, it secured a front-end engineering design deal for a mobility-focused project. While details on the projects remain slim, it marks some of the first larger-scale projects outside of Europe and Asia in which the firm is involved. Last year, ITM secured compliance for its core stack technology in Australia. Throughout the past two years, the OEM has been racking up increased orders from European projects, along with some [...]
