Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), the trio will use Hyundai’s PEM fuel cells – typically used in its road vehicles – as a base for the systems. Shipbuilder HD KSOE intends to integrate the fuel cell technology with hydrogen dual-fuel engines to deliver a hybrid electrified propulsion system for mid- to large-scale liquefied hydrogen carriers. PNU will look to evaluate and demonstrate the system. Hyundai Executive Vice-President, Ken Ramírez, said the group aims to “set a new standard for future marine mobility.” HD KSOE has been developing designs for liquid hydrogen carriers that could run on hybrid electric and [...]

Jackow joins Hyundai Motor Group Vice-Chair Jaehoon Chang in the position, at what the Council called a “defining moment” for the hydrogen sector. With more projects heading toward construction, alongside a consolidation of developments and companies, the Council said its leadership will focus on priorities including demand, infrastructure and standards. Air Liquide was one of 13 founding members of the Council in 2017 and has been increasing its clean hydrogen project developments alongside its traditional industrial gas business. Jackow has headed the French firm since 2022 and said he was “convinced” industry-led coalitions like the Council could “make a difference.” [...]

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said it was attending to an “incident” near a shopping centre in Crawley at around 12:30pm. Images and videos posted on social media show the roof of a blue single-decker bus on fire at the side of the road. Typically, both the hydrogen storage tanks and fuel cells are installed on the roof of buses. A spokesperson for the fire service said three fire engines and an aerial ladder responded to the fire. Sussex News reported the vehicle involved was believed to be a hydrogen bus operated by local transport firm Metrobus. H2 View [...]

Along with Sinopec’s research arm and one of the world’s largest steel producers, Baowu, Hydrexia aims to use its magnesium-based MHX system to deliver hydrogen to heavy industry. The demonstration is backed by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, and extends MHX use beyond transport and logistics and into hard-to-abate industrial sectors, which require large, stable volumes of hydrogen to decarbonise. “We are excited to set foot in a new market segment with a focused MHX application scenario,” Alex Fang, the chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hydrexia, said. “This important application initiative will set the tone for enhancing hydrogen [...]

The bloc says the priority projects will speed up the build-out of Europe’s cross-border energy networks, from hydrogen pipelines to renewable power grids. In total, 235 projects were selected across electricity, hydrogen and CO2 transport. The hydrogen-related awardees could include electrolyser plants, pipelines, storage hubs, and import terminals. PCI and PMI status give hydrogen developers accelerated permitting, coordinated cross-border approvals and a clearer regulatory path. Selected projects will also be eligible for EU funding via the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The commission’s Teresa Ribera called the cross-border infrastructure projects the “lifelines of [the EU’s] energy union.” Commissioner for Energy and [...]

After billions in funding, Europe’s clean hydrogen ambitions now need to translate into tangible results through regulatory implementation, prioritised use cases, streamlined permitting, and increased electricity market flexibility. That is the message from the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) in its 2025 monitoring report, where it said, despite a doubling of electrolyser installations to 308MW in 2024, deployments remained “way behind” 2030 targets. It came a year after ACER’s damning report on the EU hydrogen sector, where it warned the bloc faced falling significantly short of its 2030 targets. This is a paid article, to read [...]

Located in Nebraska, the Live Oak project will use around 250MW of electrolysis and captured biogenic CO2 to produce up to 75,000 tonnes of synthetic gas for export to Japan. Under a Joint Development and Operating agreement, Osaka Gas, Toho Gas, and Itochu will take a combined 33.3% stake in the project, with TES and TotalEnergies each retaining 33.35%. The project is expected to reach a final investment decision (FID) in 2027, with commercial operations targeted for 2030. The upcoming FEED work will define engineering, cost estimates, and project scope ahead of full sanctioning. Live Oak will use biogenic CO2 [...]

The company stated that debt terms are advanced but remain conditional on the closing of the $630m project’s equity package, with a “motivated consortium” still being finalised. Atome said lenders are providing “very competitive terms,” with definitive loan agreements now in the final stages of negotiation. However, the firm stressed that execution of those agreements depends on completing the project’s equity funding, which is still being assembled. CEO Olivier Mussat said the financing processes would be a “pioneering” effort for the world’s first industrial-scale green fertiliser plant. He added, “While coordinating top-tier global partners across three continents is complex, the time [...]

The green hydrogen firm said technical teams completed the first hydrogen production tests of its Sorel-Tracy project at the end of November, showing the system was “properly functioning.” Said to be Quebec’s first decentralised green hydrogen production facility, it marks the start of Charbone’s entry into becoming a clean gas producer and distributor, with plans to expand into other industrial gases. The Sorel-Tracy project, near Montreal, currently hosts 2.25MW of electrolysis, with plans for a phased expansion up to 25.65MW. The project uses 100% grid power, composed entirely of hydroelectric energy. For this first phase, Charbone acquired Cummins-made alkaline electrolysis [...]

After months of delay, the industrial gas major scrapped the plans due to “material changes” at the Teesworks site. In October, BP announced it was seeking a Development Consent Order (DCO) from the government, but it has now been withdrawn. H2 View understands that both the hydrogen facility and the data centre could not be built on the same piece of land. Nevertheless, BP confirmed it will continue to move forward with other projects in Teesside, including investments in its Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT) and Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP). While Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said the region would [...]
