The UK Government-backed project integrates water treatment, waste heat utilisation and hydrogen production to power large tugboats operated by Targe Towing. However, the vessels will only use the hydrogen for shore power while tied up at the port, replacing the need for diesel auxiliary engines. Effluent from a nearby wastewater treatment plant is processed using Waterhelm’s technology to produce reusable water. The water undergoes electrolysis via Logan Energy’s systems to generate green hydrogen. Part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 4 (CMDC4), the project is funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) and delivered by Innovate UK. They worked [...]

The Singapore and Hong Kong-headquartered marine company, which operates one of the world’s largest vessel fleets, will ship green hydrogen from CIC’s Australian initiatives. On its website, Purus Marine claimed it’s at the “forefront of decarbonising the maritime sector, deploying a range of technologies such as clean fuels, energy-saving devices, electrification and carbon capture systems.” CIC co-founder, David Green claimed the agreement with Purus Marine is critical in creating a hydrogen product “that truly met the ambitions of energy and derivatives customers.” Green added, “Demand for renewable hydrogen is powered by a desire for zero-carbon fuels, but traditional products by [...]

The Shoreham facility is focused on developing hydrogen, alternative fuels and electrified transport engineering, serving industries such as off-highway, commercial vehicles, marine and aerospace. Tim Bassett, Head of Test at Ricardo, said he’s delighted to see a “regular supply” of green hydrogen to the UK site, which expanded its capabilities last May by supporting marine customers with the design, development and testing of propulsion systems. He said, “Having recently doubled our hydrogen test capacity for fuel cell and sustainably fuelled hydrogen combustion engines, having a reliable supplier to support our activities is crucial. “This will help us to deliver key [...]

South Africa becomes the first country to sign such an agreement with Europe. It will focus on investment, the clean energy transition, skills, technology, and developing strategic industries along the entire supply chains. The energy funding would come from European financial institutions. The overall package totals €4.7bn which includes €303m in EU grants. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said it has started negotiations on the first Clean Trade and Investment Partnership. Trade between South Africa and EU totals €50bn today. “Take the clean hydrogen value chain,” she said. “South Africa has everything to become a global leader: You [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two energy companies have said they will jointly develop the projects over the next five years. Acting as a blueprint, the flagship Sorel-Tracy facility will be connected to the Hydro-Québec grid by the end of Q2 2025, using hydroelectricity to power two electrolysers. In Phase 1 of the Sorel-Tracy project, Charbone expects to produce approximately 400kg of hydrogen. While details are thin and the size of future projects hasn’t been confirmed, they could follow a similar scale. In addition to the Québec plant, the company will launch a production facility in the greater [...]

Under the deal, Georgia-headquartered Southwire will deploy the Plug fuel cell-powered forklifts at its Dallas-Fort Worth facility, using hydrogen produced by one of Plug’s production sites in Georgia, Tennessee or Louisiana. The US hydrogen firm will also provide onsite fuel cell servicing for an initial five-year period and maintain the refuelling station for 10 years. By using the hydrogen forklifts, the companies say Southwire could “displace” over 450 tonnes of CO2 per year. It comes after Plug announced it would refocus on its core material handling and electrolyser businesses as it looks to overcome tough financial challenges. The company has [...]

The Canadian firm’s revenues fell by 20% across its heavy-duty mobility segment, with rail seeing the biggest loss of 86%. This was followed by Trucks at 66% and marine losing 61%. Buses, however, saw a significant increase of 51% to $44.2m over the year. The company’s stationary and emerging markets were also hit with 41% and 74% falls respectively. That’s despite Ballard shipping “record” fuel cell engines in 2024, representing 56MW of power – almost 30% up on 2023. It also now sits on a “record” order backlog of $173.5m, thanks to $98.9m of orders in 2024. Its power products [...]

The French company wants to commit to cleaner energy as part of its ‘Objective: Impact!’ Strategy. However, Matmut is not only installing the hydrogen generator as part of its decarbonisation strategy but is also actively supporting fuel cell supplier Inocel’s development. Beyond investment, Matmut employees will join Inocel’s working groups to share expertise, helping the company better understand regulatory and technical challenges and improve its hydrogen generator solutions. Nicolas Gomart, Vice-President and CEO of Matmut Group, claimed the firm will always be connected to key players “in the real economy,” including startups, micro-enterprises and SMEs. Gomart added, “Energy sovereignty, both [...]

The 540-I80H Loadall is powered by JCB’s hydrogen ICE, which was was approved for commercial use in machines by 11 licensing authorities across Europe in January 2025. Deployed at a factory regeneration project in Birmingham, the loadall is being refuelled by hydrogen delivered by JCB in a mobile unit. “We’re starting to explore the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel,” explained Colin Evison, BAM’s Innovation Technical Lead. “It was important to get the hydrogen fuel machine on a real construction site. We’ve seen it in test environments, and we know that technically it does work, but putting it to [...]
