Dubbed KM Comp-H2, the compressor reportedly increases the pressure of refrigerant hydrogen gas to improve efficiencies in the liquefaction process, which could reduce hydrogen supply costs. Kawasaki has implemented an impeller designed to spin at ultra-high speeds, enabling it to compress hydrogen more effectively. The company stated that the Japanese demonstration facility will be completed in November 2025, followed by one year of operational testing. The project has been carried out as part of the Green Innovation Fund’s ‘Development of large-scale high-efficiency machinery for hydrogen liquefiers’ initiative. It’s also backed by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO). [...]

US carbon capture tax incentives could hand blue hydrogen producers millions in subsidies with no net cut to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to a new Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) report. IEEFA labelled the current 45Q incentive structure a “lose-lose” for taxpayers and the environment, warning that it could “cost billions in subsidies” for “essentially zero environmental benefits” – particularly when applied to blue hydrogen projects.

Conflux Technology’s heat transfer technology will cool hydrogen fuel cells used to power electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, Vertiia, which can reportedly cruise at speeds of 300km/h. “In Vertiia, we are building a hydrogen-electric aircraft that flies record-breaking distances at Formula 1 speeds,” Chris Smallhorn, Asml Aero Chairman said. The project has completed its first phase, developing three lightweight, compact heat exchanger concepts, and will now move to phase two – optimising and building a full proof-of-concept for integration into Vertiia’s hydrogen fuel cell system. Conflux’s cooling solution has been optimised for the intense heat loads of Vertiia’s [...]

Situated near the A1 and A20 motorways where Mabanaft already operates a diesel refuelling station, the facility will be designed to refuel up to 50 hydrogen-powered heavy-goods vehicles (HGVs) each day. Mabanaft has submitted construction applications for the facility and expects work with Hypion to begin in the second half of the year, intending to bring it online by the end of 2025. The station’s development has been backed via a €5.1m ($5.5m) grant awarded under the German Government’s Climate Friendly Commercial Vehicles and Infrastructure programme. Mabanaft has already built two hydrogen refuelling stations in Sweden through its subsidiary PS [...]

GeoRedox today (March 27) said it was leaving “stealth mode” thanks to a new partnership with geothermal energy firm Sage Geosystems to work on the design, construction and operation of SGH projects. With plans to start constructing a field demonstration site in 2026, GeoRedox claims its approach could produce “ultra-low-cost,” carbon-free hydrogen close to existing industrial hydrogen markets. The start-up plans to deploy its catalyst-free advanced weathering enhancement (AWE) technology – which it says is “akin to natural electrolysis.” H2 View understands this involves injecting water into underground, iron-rich rock formations. This mimics a natural process called serpentinisation, where water [...]

Rux’s storage solution uses a nanoporous material which works like a sponge, soaking up hydrogen inside storage tanks and increasing the density. This makes the hydrogen more compact so it can be stored safely at lower pressures and temperatures, potentially improving efficiency, safety and costs. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and supported with funding from the Connected Places Catapult, the two companies will explore the feasibility and infrastructure needs of a localised hydrogen supply chain for maritime application. The MOU also covers collaboration on potential hydrogen-powered vehicles to support decarbonisation efforts delivered by the UK Ministry of Defence and [...]

Equipped with a dual-fuel hydrogen combustion engine co-developed by Cmb.Tech and Man, the 27-metre Hydrocat 60 joins Windcat’s MK5 series. It is the company’s third hydrogen-powered CTV delivered since 2022. The Hydrocat 60’s integrated Cmb hydrogen system can reportedly store up to 458kg of compressed hydrogen. In an online statement, the Dutch provider said, “The MK5 design addresses the evolving needs of the offshore wind industry by delivering high-performance vessels that significantly enhance crew comfort and operational efficiency.” Windcat added that the dual-fuel system makes the vessel “a pragmatic choice for immediate CO2 emissions reduction.” To ensure all MK5 vessels [...]

Valued at around $17m, the EPC contract from H1Hydro could see the first phase of the project enter operations in Q1 2026. The facility is expected to use European electrolysis technology, while hydrogen storage and transport solutions are currently under discussion with firms in South Korea and Malaysia. Despite no named offtakers, the project could scale to see a green hydrogen distribution business set up to supply Northeast Asian markets including South Korea and Japan. Due to the region’s proximity to potentially high-demand markets like South Korea and Japan, Sarawak is emerging as Malaysia’s green hydrogen production hub. Having released [...]

The EU’s strict green hydrogen standards could increase costs and slow the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a clean energy carrier, according to Oxccu’s CEO. Andrew Symes, CEO and Founder of the Oxford University spinout, said that if green hydrogen production rules are too stringent, the SAF market will struggle to take hold.

The UK-based electrolyser manufacturer revealed today (March 27) that a capacity reservation made in July 2024 for four of its 2MW Neptune units was linked to the Teesside-based development. ITM has now been selected to deliver a plant integration engineering package for the project in Northeast England. Tees Green Hydrogen plans to launch with a capacity of 7.5MW by 2026 and could scale up to 300MW. Hydrogen produced by the project is expected to supply local industrial and transport applications. Responding to a query from H2 View about the 8MW order compared to the project’s 7.5MW launch capacity, ITM clarified [...]
