According to local news outlet Cluj24, the plant will become operational between late 2026 and 2027, after the Local Council approved the feasibility study for the project towards the end of last year. Strategically located within the depot of the Public Transport Company (CTP), the project will reportedly power the city’s future hydrogen-powered bus fleet [...]

The investment fund inked a non-binding heads of terms with Atome, which would see it become the project’s lead equity partner as the development targets a final investment decision (FID) by the end of H1 2025. Under the deal, Hy24 could commit between $100m and $115m to the Villeta project. Additionally, before taking FID, if [...]

The facility uses a thermochemical process to convert wood residues into “mobility-grade” hydrogen at a rate of 15kg per hour, designed to operate continuously for 8,000 hours per year. Haffner will produce 11kg per hour in its first phase due to the existing pressure swing absorption (PSA) purification equipment. This will then be replaced by [...]

The Australian engineering company will provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for Finland’s hydrogen pipeline system up until 2028, with a potential extension to 2032, as part of a broader project connecting Finland, Sweden and the Baltic Sea region. Under the agreement, Worley will “support and advise Gasgrid to ensure the engineering and construction [...]

The British energy major revealed it would increase its oil and gas investments by about 30% to $10bn a year while cutting planned renewables funding by over $5bn. As part of that, bp says it will adopt “disciplined investment” in green energy, with selected investments in biogas, biofuels and EV charging; “capital light” partnerships in [...]

The European Commission will adopt the Delegated Act on low-carbon hydrogen in Q1 2025 to clarify rules on fossil fuel with carbon capture-based hydrogen and production from non-renewable supplied electrolysers. It also plans to launch a third European Hydrogen Bank auction with a €1bn ($1.05bn) budget to bolster further green hydrogen production. This will be [...]

The EU’s Clean Industrial Deal (CID) over-prioritises electrification and fails to recognise hydrogen’s crucial role in grid flexibility and industrial decarbonisation, Hydrogen Europe warns. Hydrogen Europe has highlighted that the CID lacks a sector-wide strategy while focusing too heavily on electrification rather than a balanced, integrated approach.

Norwegian electrolyser OEM Nel has revealed that it will not build its planned gigafactory in Michigan, the US, until there is a sustainable market. The announcement follows Nel’s 23% year-over-year drop in order backlog to NOK 1.6bn ($144m) in 2024, alongside a 44% decline in cash reserves, which fell from NOK 3.3bn ($297m) to NOK [...]

The French JV entered receivership proceedings in December after facing challenges in the “slow evolution of hydrogen mobility ecosystems in Europe and the very high development costs required for hydrogen innovation.” However, a judgement by the Court of Economic Activities of Versailles, dated February 18, converted the process into a legal liquidation. “This decision follows [...]

Located in St. Gabriel, the hydrogen plant is now entering the final commissioning phase. Once complete, Plug and Olin Corporation’s 50/50 joint venture Hidrogenii will operate the plant, which utilises Olin’s by-product hydrogen from chlorine production, making it grey hydrogen. A dry-out process is currently underway to remove moisture and impurities from the project’s systems [...]
