Selected by the European Commission as Projects of Common and Mutual Interest (PCI/PMI), they will receive funds from the Connecting Europe Facility to help finance development. €176m ($210.3m) of the package will be dedicated to hydrogen infrastructure, with €120m ($143.4m) headed for RWE’s expansion of its underground hydrogen storage in Gronau-Epe, Germany. The site will be comprised of two converted salt caverns with a total storage capacity for around 38 million cubic metres of hydrogen. It is due to begin commercial operations in July 2027. The European Commission said the funding would help strengthen energy security and facilitate the “large-scale [...]

ITM Power has reported its “strongest” six-month revenue performance while reducing losses and increasing its contract backlog. The UK electrolyser maker posted £18m ($24.9m) in revenues for the six months to 31 October 2025, up from £15.5m ($21.4m) 12 months earlier.

The industrial gas supplier will provide approximately 16,500 tonnes of liquid hydrogen for Nasa’s aeronautic operations in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. The new contracts build upon a multi-decade relationship between the pair that has seen Air Products support operations from the Apollo 11 moon landing to the upcoming Artemis lunar expedition. In 2025, Air Products completed the first fill of the space agency’s hydrogen sphere. It supplied over 2.7 million litres of LH2 to fill the sphere, which at 90 feet by 83 feet is the world’s largest. Hydrogen has been used by NASA since the early 1960s, including on [...]

Thyssenkrupp Materials Trading will offtake one million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of hot briquetted iron (HBI) while Interfer Edelstahl and Interfer Austria will recieve 250,000 tonnes. The remaining 1 mtpa will be supplied to Glencore and Meranti’s planned electric arc furnace in Thailand, at an unspecified ratio. Located in Duqm’s Special Economic Zone, the HBI plant will start up using natural gas and small volumes of green hydrogen in a direct reduced iron (DRI) process, before ramping up green hydrogen volumes. With Europe comprising the plant’s biggest offtake market, uptake of hydrogen at the plant will be linked to the [...]

The Hydrogen Energy Association’s (HEA) first state of the hydrogen nation report surveyed 142 businesses across the UK hydrogen value chain, with 49% saying government commitment is now “significantly or slightly weaker” than one year ago. Just 2.5% perceived government commitment as “significantly stronger”. The report acknowledged ambitious early support but said in the past year policy framework has become “fragmented”, and that demand-side signals remain weak. Demand creation was identified as the greatest constraint on market development, with 81% of organisations saying that securing offtake is “somewhat or very difficult”. Significant barriers to end-use integration included a lack of [...]

Green hydrogen’s long-term success will depend less on breakthrough technology and more on whether developers, investors, and customers build a clear-eyed understanding of its value chain. That was the message from Richard Boocock, speaking at gasworld’s Asia-Pacific Industrial Gas Conference in December, where he highlighted the need for business models and subsidy frameworks to reflect the physical and economic realities of green hydrogen production.

Korean companies Vinssen and Samsung Heavy Industries (Samsung) will collaborate with US-based Amogy in a new joint development project (JDP) aimed at keeping up with maritime environmental regulations. The trio intends to provide onboard power by producing hydrogen through Amogy’s ammonia cracking technology, which can be used in Vinssen’s PEM fuel cells. It aims to integrate the design with existing large commercial vessels, but has not yet specified a timeline or capacity details of the project. This comes as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) imposes decarbonisation targets on the marine sector. IMO strategy sets a goal to reduce international shipping [...]

The companies join Volvo Group in supporting the H2Accelerate Trucks project, following the departure of Iveco and Shell, both of which were founding members. Backed by €30m ($35.6m) from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, the pilot-scale project aims to deploy 125 hydrogen trucks with more than 20 fleet operators, gathering real-world operating data ahead of any potential commercial rollout. The trucks would be supporting refuelling partners Everfuel, TotalEnergies, and the oil and gas firm’s joint venture with Air Liquide, Teal Mobility. However, the departure of Iveco and Shell reflects the wider challenges being faced in hydrogen mobility. Shell has scaled back [...]

The pilot generator is powering a construction site that is expanding the Carén reservoir, which supplies state-owned copper producer Codelco’s El Teniente mine. According to Acciona, the 80kW GEH2 generator from France’s EODev will reduce fossil fuel consumption by 5,067 litres and prevent 13.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per quarter. This comes as construction companies worldwide look to decarbonise operations and adopt zero-emission generators, which are reliable in areas with little or no grid capacity. Acciona acquired its first GEH2 in May 2024 after “validating its reliability” in extension works on the Centennial Bridge in Seville. It claimed this [...]

The UK National Wealth Fund (NWF) will back 10 sectors, including hydrogen, carbon capture, battery making, and energy storage, under a new strategic plan committing £5.8bn ($7.99bn).
