The latest escalation in the Gulf is being felt in the oil markets and shipping lanes. But its consequences may extend beyond crude prices. For the still fragile and capital-intensive clean hydrogen sector, disruption in the Strait of Hormuz raises fundamental questions about cost competitiveness, supply chain security, and the long-term direction of energy policy. [...]

Nel believes its upcoming pressurised alkaline electrolyser technology will be able to compete on price for global projects against low-cost, Chinese-made systems. That was the message from CEO Häkon Volldal during the firm’s recent earnings call, where it reported major drops in revenues and growing losses. This is a paid article, to read the article [...]

A 220MW green hydrogen production and storage project in Utah, US, is heading to completion, with all 40 of the plant’s electrolysers installed and operational. Norway’s HydrogenPro, the pressurised alkaline electrolyser firm supplying the project, said the ACES Delta project was “now coming to finalisation and start-up.” This is a paid article, to read the [...]

The hub, a step in hydrogen expansion across the country, will feature the firm’s own PEM electrolyser system powered by on-site renewable resources. Hyundai has reserved KRW 1 trillion ($693m) for the electrolyser plant alone, scheduled for completion by 2029, and KRW 1.3 trillion ($901m) for supporting solar power infrastructure. The auto major has not [...]

The scheme incentivises investments in additional capacity production of net zero technologies and covers costs related to their main specific components and related critical raw materials, including hydrogen technologies. These include electrolysers, fuel cells, hydrogen transmission equipment, storage facilities, and ammonia crackers. However, no specific details on how the funding will be spent have yet [...]

Aberdeen City Council said it would drop the 25-double-decker bus fleet in favour of electric vehicles, after a series of technical problems. Operated by First Bus, the fleet of Wrightbus Hydroliner FCEVs has been on Aberdeen streets since 2021 under a local and EU-funded £8.3m ($11.2m) project. It was billed as the “world’s first” hydrogen [...]

The South Korea-based chemical company will receive an unspecified volume of ammonia from Envision’s Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, plant in the “world’s first” commercial delivery of the molecule. Ammonia could be an important energy carrier for importing regions like South Korea, which aims to import around 1.96 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030. [...]

Passed by the Bundestag on Thursday (26 February), the Hydrogen Acceleration Act is hoped to reduce bureaucratic hurdles by streamlining and digitalising approval procedures. Covering developments across production, import terminals, storage, and transport, the bill has designated the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure as of “overriding public interest” until 2045. This designation will grant legal priorities [...]

The French industrial gas major’s local subsidiary, Wits University (Wits), and the Localisation Support Fund (LSF) will work on the system, which comes under the new Wits-South Africa Hydrogen Localisation Initiative (Wits-SAHLI). Expected online by 2028, the 2.2kg per hour facility with 200kg of on-site storage will be used by the university for teaching, research, [...]

The 1.400 TEU Yara Eyde container ship has been under construction since September 2025 at Qingdao Yangfan Shipbuilding in China and is expected to be delivered by mid-2026. It is planned to enter service on a weekly route between Rotterdam, Oslo, Brevik, and Bremerhaven later this year, delivering fertiliser products made by Yara. It is [...]
