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 [...]

Sunday’s (February 23) German election has raised uncertainty over how a new government will shape the country’s hydrogen strategy, a cornerstone of one of Europe’s leading clean fuel economies. The centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU), led by Friedrich Merz, achieved the largest share of the vote, with far-right the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party securing second [...]

Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), Jolt will supply its electrode technology. Its Sparkfuze coating process reportedly enables “faster and more effective production” of high-performance electrodes. In an online statement, Jolt said this could extend the operational lifespan of an electrolyser and improve its efficiency. Therefore, Hynfra could use it in its industrial-scale hydrogen and [...]

Under the supply deal, Zepp.solutions will provide its X150 fuel cell modules to deliver power outputs exceeding 1MW in a retrofitted cruise vessel. Largely funded by the Dutch Maritime Master Plan, NERA-H2 aims to introduce hydrogen as a clean energy source for the river cruise industry, helping to cut emissions in cities. More than 420 [...]

Project Chess will implement an electrolyser built by Uniper’s subsidiary and installed at a power plant in Huntorf. Uniper and its project partner EWE expect the electrolyser to produce around 2,700 tonnes of green hydrogen per year in its first phase. The region’s abundant wind resources will be used to power the electrolyser, whilst the [...]
