Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Israel’s H2Pro will work with Latvia’s national electricity company, Latvenergo, to explore the feasibility of deploying its 5MW electrolyser in the latter’s energy infrastructure. Together, they aim to integrate Latvia’s solar and wind resources to power with H2Pro’s electrolysis technology. Latvian Minister of Economy, Viktors Valainis, said he hopes to “keep developing the energy and other sectors of economy in a mutually beneficial way between Latvia and Israel.” After signing the MOU in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tzahi Rodrig, CEO of H2Pro, claimed that Latvenergo presents an “excellent environment for demonstrating the unique advantages of [...]

The French oil major will use the volumes in its Leuna refinery in Saxony-Anhalt from 2030 to replace some of the grey hydrogen used in its operations. The hydrogen will be delivered via a 600km section of Germany’s planned 9,000km hydrogen core network (HCN), until the contract’s conclusion in 2044. Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, said, “This long-term contract for green hydrogen marks an important milestone to reducing our CO2 emissions at our Leuna refinery.” RWE’s GET H2 Nukleus project at its Lingen gas-fired power plant is currently under construction after reaching final investment decision (FID) last summer.

Incitias Pty is leading construction under its engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Campus, after the Light Regional Council approved planning consent. Sparc also secured the first patent for its licensed PWS reactor technology in Q1 2025. The pilot plant, set for commissioning in mid-2025, will test reactor designs and photocatalyst materials under concentrated solar conditions. The Sparc Technologies, Fortescue and University of Adelaide joint venture aims to advance its PWS reactor from TRL-5 to TRL-6, validate real-world performance and refine engineering and safety protocols. In an online statement, Sparc Hydrogen explained its [...]

Under an EPC collaboration agreement, the South Korean firm will develop its own hydrogen plant designs based on both Nel’s alkaline and PEM electrolyser stack and balance of stack technology. In a separate agreement, Nel plans to issue 167,132,530 shares to Samsung E&A for NOK 353m ($33.1m) to give the company a 9.1% shareholding in Nel. The share sale is subject to board approval. Nel and Samsung also plan to work on a larger balance of stack system for alkaline electrolysers. The deals come as the near-100-year-old electrolyser maker looks to focus on manufacturing its core stack technologies – a [...]

Maritime classification societies DNV and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) each awarded an AiP, indicating that the design meets the necessary technical standards and safety requirements. This approval enables Pherousa to advance the development and construction of its ammonia-powered Ultramax carrier vessels. The ships will feature an onboard ammonia cracker, allowing them to convert ammonia into hydrogen, which will then be used as fuel. Pherousa holds an exclusive license to its shareholder Metacon’s ammonia cracking HIWAR concept technology. The technology is versatile and can be integrated with various hydrogen applications, including PEM fuel cells, hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE), and auxiliary engines. [...]

Developed with McKinsey, the report estimates that 75% of 2030 clean hydrogen demand will come from established use cases like refining and ammonia production, while new applications face tough cost and infrastructure barriers. The report categorises 34 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of potential hydrogen demand in 2030 across the EU, the US and East Asia. Just 8 mtpa expected to be met by existing policies like the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), Japan’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) programme, and the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – if implemented. But even in these policy-backed sectors, some uses may struggle [...]

Set to be its third fuel cell manufacturing plant, the facility will reportedly be capable of producing systems for up to 6,500 hydrogen-powered cars per year. Hyundai’s fuel cells for passenger vehicles (Nexo), buses, Xcient trucks and its new SUV are currently produced at its Guangzhou facility in China, with an annual capacity of up to 6,500 units, and at its fuel cell factory in Chungju, South Korea, which can manufacture 23,000 units per year. The Ulsan fuel cell plant has been introduced under Hyundai’s strategy to expand hydrogen consumption to three million tonnes per year by 2035, in line [...]
