Project Starling, located in Workington, UK, will convert captured carbon dioxide into synthetic kerosene using green hydrogen produced by 120MW of solid oxide electrolysers from 2031. Within this process, JM’s FT Cans Fischer-Tropsch technology – which was jointly developed with BP – will convert captured CO2 and green hydrogen into synthetic crude oil. This will then be upgraded by Honeywell’s Fischer-Tropsch Unicracking technology. The resulting synthetic kerosene will be blended with conventional jet fuel to produce SAF. CNF says it is engaging with airlines, fuel suppliers, and partners to develop long-term offtake agreements. Backed by £6m in funding from the [...]

A selection of NGOs and companies addressed Brussels with a joint letter calling for the bloc’s renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules to remain, arguing they will maintain certainty for producers, offtakers, and investors. The letter pressed the EU to refrain from accelerating a review into RFNBO requirements currently scheduled for 2028 – before the regulation’s requirements of hourly matching come into play in 2030. “An early revision would adversely affect early adopters and undermine legal certainty,” the letter signed by the likes of Environmental Defense Fund and Norsk e-Fuel stated. Current RFNBO criteria require electrolyser operators to source [...]

CF Industries has confirmed it will not proceed with its planned green hydrogen project as it focuses on economically attractive US blue ammonia production. The company logged a $51m asset impairment related to a 20MW green hydrogen plant at its Louisiana ammonia complex.

Under a head of agreement, HIF plans to supply e-methanol produced at its planned 1.1GW project in Uruguay to German eFuel One, which is looking to set up an e-gasoline project in Lower Saxony. While the deal sets a framework for negotiating definitive offtake, it does not yet constitute a binding supply agreement. The plans would see HIF e-methanol imported into Germany through the Port of Hamburg, with German eFuel One expected to upgrade the chemical into e-gasoline and other fuels for transport applications. E-methanol produced by HIF’s $5.3bn Paysandú project in Uruguay is planned to meet EU rules on [...]

According to local reports from Valencia Noticias, the president of the Shanghai Shaanyao Group, Roger Dejun, revealed the new partnership at the third National Green Hydrogen Congress in Huelva. The Chinese industrial developer will join the projects with compatriot clean technology company Eontsing to provide technological capabilities alongside MASPV’s local energy sector expertise. In meetings relating to the operations planned for 2026, Dejun hailed Spain’s regulatory framework, industrial capacity, and institutional commitment as offering great conditions for green hydrogen production. “Through MASPV, we have been able to analyse specific and advanced projects, allowing us to evaluate investment opportunities with a [...]

California is leading a lawsuit against the Trump administration for axing billions in clean energy funding, including $1.2bn promised for the state’s clean region hydrogen hubs plans. On Wednesday (18 February), California Attorney General Rob Bonta co-led a 13-strong group of attorneys general to file the suit in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint was joined by Colorado, Washington, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Part of the Zero Carbon Turn project led by Exeter Airport, the trial brought together a hydrogen internal combustion tug, a hydrogen fuel cell baggage tractor, and a hybrid hydrogen-diesel ground power unit (GPU) to support a live turnaround of a Boeing 737. The new report highlights the April 2025 trial as a landmark but also underscores the need to shift from one-off demonstrations to broader, more integrated trials. It identified trialling hydrogen under “real-world” operating conditions, comparing operational models for storage and refuelling, and developing a platform for sharing information on hydrogen adoption at airports. The trial was backed [...]

The engineering and technology company will provide EPC services for the project in Delfzijl, being developed by Dutch airline KLM’s SAF subsidiary SkyNRG. The DSL-O1 plant will use the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) production pathway, utilising waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil. However, it will feature an on-site steam methane reformer (SMR) plant for hydrogen production. SMRs are a primary production method for grey hydrogen, typically emitting 9–12kg of carbon dioxide per kilogram of hydrogen produced. Technip has not revealed whether the plant would be equipped with carbon capture technology. H2 View has contacted Technip for confirmation. [...]

The factory in Oevel, originally operated by Hydrogenics prior to its acquisition by Cummins, has been active for over 25 years with around 250 workers. Despite Cummins doubling the site’s manufacturing capacity to 1GW between 2022 and 2023 thanks to EU funding, the firm is now due to lay off approximately 100 employees. According to Belgian News Agency, trade unions said Cummins management revealed plans to cut 85 jobs at the end of 2025 while it was undertaking a strategic review of its electrolyser business. At the same time, one of the site’s two production lines was closed. However, after [...]

Energy engineering firm Kent said it had been awarded a pre-front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) contract for the Eq.flight power-to-liquid demonstration project. The project, which secured £1m ($1.36m) in funding from the UK Department of Transport last year, plans to use solid oxide electrolysis, reverse water-gas shift, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and direct air capture technologies to produce SAF. It will use nuclear electricity and heat as the energy source for the process, which the lead partner Equilibrion says could cut the fuel’s carbon intensity by 90–95% compared to conventional jet fuel. While the demonstrator’s location and commissioning timeline remain undisclosed, Kent said [...]
