Most European gas networks can safely handle up to 20% hydrogen blends, according to energy engineering and consultancy firm Penspen. CEO Peter O’Sullivan told H2 View that the majority of Europe’s distribution networks are plastic, mostly polyethylene (HDPE/MDPE), which is immune to hydrogen embrittlement, one of the main risks in metallic pipelines. This is a [...]

Under the agreement, the steel will be processed into components for Microsoft’s data centre network, while the EACs separate the environmental benefit from the physical product. This means Stegra can sell the physical steel as a conventional material to other buyers, while Microsoft claims the emissions savings through the certificates. The model avoids double-counting and [...]

CEO Klaus Rosenfeld confirmed the decision last week, after hydrogen was put through the company’s portfolio management test: if a business area fails to deliver after three years, it risks being exited. “Years ago, everyone was super optimistic about hydrogen,” Rosenfeld said. “We have decided that we’re not going to further invest in this. We’re [...]

The Department of Labor and Industry reported that 14 staff will be let go from 17 November. Gardner specialises in manufacturing large tanks for transporting liquid hydrogen and helium and it is believed the move follows a downturn in orders. The well-established firm has produced more than 2,000 liquid helium and hydrogen tanks and containers [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star), they plan to launch hydrogen-based ammonia pilot projects on Jurong Island. Singapore hosts several grey hydrogen plants, mainly on Jurong Island, according to GWGI data. Ammonia cracking could offer a lower-carbon alternative to today’s grey hydrogen plants by enabling the [...]

German steelmaker Salzgitter AG will push back the expansion phases of its €3.5bn ($4.1bn) hydrogen-based steelmaking project by up to three years due to regulatory delays, though its initial 100MW phase remains on track for 2026. The project at Salzgitter’s Flachstahl site will bring alkaline electrolysers, a direct reduction plant and an electric arc furnace [...]

According to reports, state-owned power generator plans to use 450MW of wind capacity to power 295MW of electrolysers, producing up to 19,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 100,000 tonnes of green methanol annually once operational. The Tiaobingshan demonstration project will include an 80MW energy storage system to enhance supply stability and flexibility. H2 View understands [...]

The French testing and certification body joins Belgium’s Vinçotte, Germany’s TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland, and Spain’s SGS as one of five companies accredited to conduct audits for official RFNBO validation. Accredited bodies can award green hydrogen producers a CertifHy EU RFNBO certificate verifying the status of their volumes. “Bringing a trusted, independent partner of [...]

Hintco said the relaunch targets projects that were not advanced enough during the pilot phase, broadening participation in the green fuel market. It comes alongside increased funding and extended timelines across other H2Global tenders. The German government-backed investment vehicle behind the H2Global scheme raised the funding across its tenders earlier this month, boosting the regional [...]
