Africa should stop jumping straight into mega-scale green hydrogen projects and instead focus on lining up realistic offtake and building local infrastructure and supply chains first. That is the conclusion of the Energy Industries Council’s (EIC) latest report, which found that despite 38GW of planned clean hydrogen production capacity, Africa has just 17MW in operation. [...]

Shock and vibration tests, undertaken with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, simulated mechanical loads that could be experienced during the lunar missions, where the fuel cells could be used for life support systems. Nimbus’s technology could be installed in Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Lander, which is set to be used for Nasa’s anticipated return to the [...]

Keele University said its new facility will produce green hydrogen from excess power generated by its on-site wind turbines and solar panels to allow its researchers to develop and test materials and infrastructure for the storage of the gas. Electrolysers are increasingly being viewed as a tool to support grid balancing, by receiving power during [...]

Trade body Hydrogen UK announced the finalists across its nine award categories aimed at recognising the players supporting the UK hydrogen sector. Winners will be named on 10 March at an awards ceremony at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on the eve of Hydrogen UK’s annual conference. “The 2026 shortlist reflects the breadth, maturity [...]

Egypt’s 100MW green hydrogen project, lined up to supply molecules to Europe through German-backed contracts, has started “partial” production, according to a government statement. The project, currently being commissioned by Norway’s Scatec, and backed by the Sovereign Fund of Egypt, Orascom Construction, and Fertiglobe in the Ain Sokhna Industrial Zone, was awarded the inaugural €397m [...]

The pair have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to assess, using HiiRoc’s plasma-based technology to decarbonise Tokyo Gas customers’ operations and explore potential uses for solid carbon. HiiRoc’s thermal plasma electrolysis (TPE) technology operates similarly to methane pyrolysis. However, the company uses electrical plasma torches, rather than heat, to split hydrocarbons into high-pressure hydrogen [...]

The support will be provided to Norsk e-Fuel’s Finnish subsidiary Norsk e-Fuel Rauma Oy, which is developing a 100 million-litre green hydrogen-based e-fuel facility on Finland’s west coast. Rauma will use renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, which will be synthesised with captured carbon dioxide into aviation e-fuels. The support mechanism comes in the form [...]

The group is due to receive the electrolyser system from Italy’s IMI, which will supply green hydrogen to an existing refuelling station at the site. Stadtwerke opened the Innovation Park last year to support hybrid fuel cell-battery buses operated by Bielefeld-based transit firm moBiel. The buses can either be recharged directly by the site’s 27 [...]

Crematoria Twente has launched a research and demonstration project to assess whether green hydrogen could be a sustainable and feasible alternative to natural gas, to inform potential wider deployment. The firm will adapt an existing furnace at its Enschede crematorium to run on green hydrogen, beginning with controlled testing before any use in day-to-day operations. [...]
