H2-View News: Traditional hydrogen demand buoys Air Liquide’s US sales
Its sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 was driven by strong performances in the Americas and totalled $2.5bn, slightly below the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, which led performances ($2.6bn). While over half of its €4.6bn ($5.3bn) investment backlog is linked to hydrogen and the energy transition, traditional unabated US hydrogen remains a core growth engine, leading to increased capacity and investment in Texas and Louisiana. The industrial gases major has expanded its Gulf Coast industrial network and will invest $50m in upgrading existing hydrogen infrastructure and forging new supply agreements with major refiners. “We see a [...]
H2-View News: German state opens €50m green hydrogen funding call
Aiming to support regional hydrogen hubs within the state, the funding is available for new projects at least 1MW in size, aimed at supplying regional applications. Funding will cover up to 45% of eligible investment costs, with maximum funding capped at €10m ($11.8m). Those investments include the construction of new electrolyser capacity or the expansion of existing production capacity, including balance of plant equipment. Additionally, components like hydrogen storage or compressors could receive up to 30% of capital costs covered. The state hopes to support local green hydrogen production while Germany’s 9,000km core hydrogen network ramps up. “The goal is [...]
H2-View News: GeoPura lands hydrogen supply deal for major UK construction project
The hydrogen will power six of the firm’s fuel cell generators to charge batteries used in electric machinery at National Highway’s Lower Thames Crossing construction project. According to the company, the hydrogen produced at its flagship 15MW HyMarnham project will eliminate the need for over 12 million litres of diesel and save an estimated 30,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. Andrew Cunningham, CEO of GeoPura, praised the example set by deploying clean fuels on the construction project, stressing that it also strengthens the British hydrogen supply chain. The Lower Thames Crossing is a planned road tunnel under the Thames Estuary [...]
H2-View News: Plug Power faces investor lawsuits over $1.66bn DOE loan guarantee
A growing number of law firms are calling on investors to join lawsuits against US hydrogen company Plug Power over its positioning of a $1.66bn loan guarantee from the Department of Energy (DOE). At least eight firms have been issuing statements calling on investors to submit information about allegations that Plug “misled” investors about its ability to receive and use the DOE loan.

H2-View News: Poland opens consultation on hydrogen infrastructure development
The company has invited market players to contribute to the 2026-2035 plan, which will aim to outline the development of the country’s infrastructure alongside Europe’s emerging networks. It will be open until March 13. The action is required under Poland’s Energy Law, which obliges operators to reveal plans covering current and future demand for fuels, increasing transparency in the energy sector. The ten-year plan covers three main areas: development of the national hydrogen transmission system, adaptation of existing gas infrastructure, and cross-border connections. Gaz-System is involved in two European Commission-recognised Projects of Common Interest. The first being the Poland-Germany hydrogen [...]
H2-View News: Australian boatbuilder launches development of hydrogen ferry for New York
The 150-passenger vessel will be deployed in the New York ferry network after the project secured $2m in funding from the state’s Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Incat says the ship’s fuel cell electric propulsion system will allow a cruising speed of 25 knots with a range for a “full day” of operations. The company says this operational profile is comparable to that of a diesel boat and suggests it could be rolled out beyond New York for longer, high-frequency commuter routes. Proponents say hydrogen ferries could support the decarbonisation of maritime transport, offering long operational range and fast [...]
H2-View News: Finland and Germany advance hydrogen collaboration
The declaration outlined cooperation across hydrogen infrastructure, technology development and investment. Sari Multala, Finnish Minister of Climate and Environment, said that hydrogen will be a “key tool” and opportunity in Finland’s clean transition, and outlined a target of accounting for 10% of hydrogen production in the EU. The agreement between the German Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy and Multala could further Finland’s ambitions to become Europe’s leading economy across the hydrogen value chain and make it an internationally leading supplier. The country’s location, vast hydropower resources, strong infrastructure, and policy pulls have increasingly positioned Finland as an attractive hub [...]
Hydrogen Council News: Rebuilding confidence in EU CBAM: Urgent call to remove Article 27a
Today, Hydrogen Council, together with Business for CBAM Coalition, European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA), Hydrogen Europe, IFIEC Europe, and Renewable Hydrogen Coalition, representing industrial leaders investing in clean hydrogen, ammonia, steel and fertilizers, in and beyond the EU, joins the industry-wide call to remove the proposed Article 27a from the CBAM revision. In a letter to European Parliament’s Committee on Environment, we explain why Article 27a would undermine market confidence and deter urgently needed investment in decarbonisation across CBAM sectors. Why this matters now Policy certainty: CBAM was designed to provide long-term investment certainty for clean energy, industrial and agrifood systems [...]
H2-View News: DHL to trial hydrogen truck in the Netherlands
The single truck will cover around 300km per day, collecting feasibility data on range, energy consumption, driver training, and comparison with diesel and electric alternatives. The multinational transport and distribution major says the trial – across the provinces of Overjissel and Gelderland – comes as a broader effort to decarbonise. It is also trialling biofuels and battery electric vehicles. European joint venture between TotalEnergies and Air Liquide, Teal Mobility – which is expanding a network of hydrogen refuelling stations across Europe – will supply fuel to the trial. The Hyundai Xcient Fuel Cell 6×2 truck is being leased through German [...]
H2-View News: Newfoundland strips Crown Land reserves from three green hydrogen projects
The update came from the Canadian province’s Energy Minister Lloyd Parrott, whose office said the global green hydrogen market was “growing more slowly than expected.” The stripped reserves are related to World Energy GH2’s 1.2GW green ammonia project, EverWind Fuels’ Burin Peninsula green fuels project, and the Toqlukuti’k project being undertaken by ABO Wind, Braya Renewable Fuels, and Miawpukek First Nation. The projects were awarded the right to develop on Crown Land in 2023, with reserves extended through the end of this month. Under these deals, companies had to pay a Crown lands reserve fee equal to 3.5% of the [...]
