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 [...]

The project will blend the renewable hydrogen into the country’s gas grid, operated by the transmission service operator (TSO) Enagás. It will initially run a 5MW decoupled water electrolyser (DWE) powered by 10MW of solar energy, before later scaling up to 50MW of electrolysis and 80MW of solar capacity. H2Pro and Doral Hydrogen believe the plant would be the first of its kind to undertake hydrogen blending using entirely off-grid solar power. According to H2Pro, its DWE systems can operate even with irregular solar power. The company’s CEO, Tzahi Rodrig, said its technology, in combination with Doral’s renewable power expertise, [...]

EET Hydrogen expects to take a final investment decision on its delayed 350MW UK blue hydrogen project in the second half of 2026 after adding a hydrogen-ready combined heat and power (CHP) unit to secure project financing. Speaking at the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference, CEO Joe Seifert acknowledged the long development process of the Essar subsidiary’s HPP1 project at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port. Having completed front-end engineering design five years ago, Seifert said the project had been “ready to go for some time.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign [...]

The funding has been approved under EU state aid rules. The project aims to capture greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the companies’ existing plants in Antwerp which produce hydrogen, ammonia and ethylene oxide, and serve as a regional hub for energy and carbon value chains. CO2 will be capture from various industrial sources on the Zandvliet industrial platform, transported by a local pipeline within the port of Antwerp to the liquefaction and export terminal in the same port, and then shipped to a permanent underground storage site in the North Sea. Initially it will focus on the more concentrated CO2 [...]

Membrane sales in Q4 2025 grew 22.1% versus the same period in 2024, marking a notable rebound from a slow start to the year. Agfa-Gevaert attributed the late-year surge to increasing momentum in Asia, resulting in an overall year-on-year increase of 3.7%. This comes as Asian manufacturers expand into the global electrolyser market. In Q1 2025, Agfa-Gevaert had predicted consolidation among Western European electrolyser manufacturers after an 18% decrease in membrane sales. After Q2 2025 sales remained flat, the company then criticised the EU’s hydrogen roadmap, saying that regulatory complexity in the Renewable Energy Directive III could cost the bloc [...]

The Mad Fuel system is a mobile, containerised platform that produces synthetic drop-in fuels at or near the point of use from electricity, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2). It hopes to strengthen fuel resilience by decentralising production and is considered one of the US Department of War’s (DOW) six critical technologies. Airco developed the technology in collaboration with DOW offices, including the innovation arm AFWERX. While technical specifics remain sparse, Airco says it is feedstock-flexible, drawing on any renewable power to deliver synthetic jet fuel or diesel equivalent. It hopes the system, which has received around $70m in federal funding, [...]

Restrictions on incentive stacking are driving the UK e-fuel developers to import green hydrogen-based feedstocks, according to Honeywell UOP’s head of sales and business development. Richard Mathers from the tech conglomerate told the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference that the UK’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate could be a major driver for clean hydrogen demand.

Capital is moving from UK hydrogen projects to faster-moving markets like the EU, which is running ahead, despite less generous subsidies. Speaking at the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference, Kim McCann, Global Energy Advisory Director at environmental consultant SLR Consulting, said the country was at a “pivotal moment” where support schemes were being undermined.
