The first projects from state-owned GB Energy were expected to grab the headlines, including £10m of ‘metro partnerships’ to build clean power across the country. But the story was pushed down the agenda by a fire that has closed London’s Heathrow Airport and impacted 62,000 customers directly, alongside the travel plans of millions around the world. Fires can happen anytime and anywhere, but quite why an electricity substation blaze close to the airport premises should bring the UK’s leading airport to a halt will be a subject of investigation. It raises questions around back-up power, energy storage and “infrastructure resilience” [...]

Turn2X produced the RNG – made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ – at its Miajadas plant in Spain. The gas was injected into the existing natural gas grid and transported under the EU’s mass balance system to Boffzen-based glassmaker Noelle + von Campe. The system allows for tracking and trading of renewable and low-carbon gases through existing gas infrastructure – even when the renewable gas is physically indistinguishable from fossil gas after the injection. In this case, Noelle + von Campe can claim the use of the RNG, despite withdrawing physically mixed gases because the volumes match and are [...]

Powered entirely by solar energy, HyIron’s Oshivela plant is set to begin producing green hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) within the next month, targeting an initial output of 15,000 tonnes per year  – with ambitions to scale up to two million tonnes annually by 2030. “We’re now in the process of gradually ramping up the electrolyser to full capacity, which will soon form the foundation for producing iron with zero emissions,” the company stated. The plant runs exclusively during daylight hours, backed by a 25MW solar farm and 13.4MW of battery storage. German metals firm Benteler has already signed a [...]

On March 19, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Anita Anand, announced a $49m investment in HTEC through the Strategic Innovation Fund to support the company’s $472m project. The project is being developed under HTEC’s H2 Gateway programme, and it will capture and liquefy 15 tonnes per day of industrial by-product hydrogen in North Vancouver, turning waste into clean fuel. The H2 Gateway programme plans the development of up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, three hydrogen production facilities and a fleet of 100 hydrogen heavy-duty fuel cell electric (FCEV) trucks. HTEC has stated the North Vancouver project will be [...]

The project, due to be delivered within three years, will supply green electrons for the production of both gases in Mundra. It involves upgrading the Navinal electrical substation by adding two large 765/400kV transformers and building a 75km 765kV double-circuit line to connect the substation to the Bhuj substation. The project will add 150 circuit kilometres of transmission lines and 3,000 MVA of transformation capacity to the company’s portfolio. India is targeting five million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030. The Indian government recently awarded three-year subsidy payments to nine companies for green hydrogen production projects, with AM Green Ammonia [...]

UK solid oxide hydrogen tech licensor Ceres has posted record order intakes of £112.8m ($146m) thanks to major Asian deals in 2024. But speaking to H2 View, CEO Phil Caldwell offered a more grounded assessment. The firm’s revenues increased by 132% to £51.9m ($67m) in 2024, thanks to licensing deals with Taiwan’s Delta Electronics and Japan’s Denso, as well as an electrolyser system partnership with Thermax. Gross profit also jumped £26.6m ($34.4m) to £40m ($51.8m). This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park (NLGEP) secured a Development Consent Order (DCO) for its plans to process up to 760,000 tonnes of waste per year to generate 95MWe of electricity, which will be used to power electrolysis and homes in the area. Hydrogen will be produced by a 10MW electrolyser system using water from the waste condensate collected from the CO2 capture. The developers intend to set up a hydrogen refuelling station at the site, as well as potentially supplying the energy carrier for industrial processes or gas grid blending. The up to 650,000 tonnes of CO2 per year [...]

Being carried out by Ceramics UK, Glass Futures, and Ryze, the trial’s pilot kiln fired 100% hydrogen to provide insights into the impact of hydrogen on ceramic products. In an online statement, Ryze Power claimed the findings “further support the case for hydrogen as a viable alternative for direct combustion processes where electrification is currently not an option.” The trial was backed by the UK Government Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) programme. Ryze’s Power Sales Director, Alex Webster, said it’s vital to provide a range of alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, across the UK to “transition to Net Zero as soon [...]

The Sauk Valley Hydrogen facility has kicked off hydrogen production using a small-scale Ohmium PEM electrolyser powered by Invenergy’s co-located solar facility. Producing up to 40 tonnes of hydrogen per year, H2 View estimates the electrolyser system to have a capacity of around 150kW. The first volumes of hydrogen have been used as a cooling agent for a turbine generator at Invenergy’s 980MW natural gas facility adjacent to the installation. However, the company already has plans to sell hydrogen offsite. Hydrogen is expected to be supplied to liquid fuel producer Aether Fuels, which is looking to commercialise its power-to-liquid  (PtL) [...]

The hub is being developed as a joint venture between BP and the Aberdeen City Council, although Scottish manufacturer Hydrasun made the purchase order for Nel’s unit. A final investment decision (FID) was taken on the hub last year. Hydrasun, a specialist in hydrogen system integration and refuelling solutions, will design and build the hub’s refuelling station and infrastructure, selecting Nel’s electrolyser for hydrogen production. Nel is expected to supply the electrolyser from its PEM manufacturing facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. Last October, the Norwegian company completed an expansion of the plant, increasing the annual capacity from 50 to 500MW. The company [...]
