The clean fuels panel at Davos 2026 today heard hard-hitting comments from CEOs and economists as affordability was repeatedly stressed as the key issue affecting scale up and mass-market acceptance. Elaine Buckberg, former Chief Economist at General Motors, set the scene, outlining how renewable diesel “is incredibly expensive” and urged the industry to focus on [...]

Through its new H2Site Norway arm the Bilbao-based firm will supply onboard systems that crack ammonia into hydrogen for use in fuel cells or blending in engines. The move is aimed at accelerating demonstration projects with Norwegian shipowners, shipyards, and offshore operators, amid growing government support for maritime decarbonisation. H2Site has been building and operating [...]

The funding from Horizon Europe aims to back projects that could bring innovations closer to market, covering hydrogen production and storage through to fuel cells. €25m ($29.3m) is reserved for Hydrogen Valleys – the EU’s cluster initiative, designed to ramp up regional hydrogen value chains. This leaves €80m ($93.7m) available for various elements of hydrogen [...]

The LC30 generator, which AFC hopes can displace diesel generators, offers a 50% mass reduction, 45% reduced volumes, while being 20% efficient than the company’s previous versions. It is also slated to have an increased operating range, from -20°C to +50°C, and can accommodate 100KW fuel cell to increase output on demand. AFC says the [...]

Honda said it would scrap making the technology through its Fuel Cell System Manufacturing (FCSM) JV, which only began “mass” production in 2024 at a facility in Michigan, US. The company said the JV yielded “some positive results”, and the pair “reached an agreement” to discontinue fuel cell making at FCSM after discussions about the [...]

The Commission said domestic and international companies showed “significant interest” in the supply-side calls of its Hydrogen Mechanism, drawing offers from more than 260 projects. This new phase will remain open until 20 March 2026, with potential buyers encouraged to sign up. The Hydrogen Mechanism falls under the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform, which [...]

Six green hydrogen projects selected for per kilogramme subsidies in the second European Hydrogen Bank auction have signed grant agreements representing €270.6m ($317.5m). The projects, located in Finland, Spain, and Norway, will receive between €0.33 ($0.39) and €1.88 ($2.21) per kilogramme of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO)-compliant produced over 10 years, funded by Emissions [...]

The government says the funding could unlock investment and decarbonisation, and drive “millions” into the sector. The scheme will open calls to UK businesses, researchers, and universities to compete for a share of the funding by demonstrating research and development potential that can accelerate clean aviation. The HIA, made up of companies like easyJet, Rolls-Royce, [...]

This summer, Toyota hybrid vehicles supplied by rental firm Mitta in southern Chile will use e-gasoline produced by HIF’s Haru Oni e-fuel plant. The Route Zero scheme will see 2,500 litres of e-fuel dispensed from a petrol station in Punta Arenas, representing a modest offtake from the 130,000 litres per year Haru Oni plant. It [...]

Under the memorandum of understanding (MOU), the firms will work together on market development, stakeholder engagement, and bunkering logistics, with an initial focus on the US Gulf Coast and Northwest Europe. The plans could see CF supply low-carbon ammonia from its carbon capture-retrofitted Donaldsonville plant in Louisiana, with Trafigura offering commodity logistics support. TFG, a [...]
