Conducted in collaboration with the University of Delaware’s Centre for Clean Hydrogen, Plug claims the test paves the way to “the production of $1/kg green hydrogen.” VSParticle’s catalyst layers were tested under real-world PEM operating conditions. While less iridium is used, the technology maintained commercial performance, according to Plug, and met durability targets. Specifically, it [...]

The Swedish energy technology firm purchased the assets for SEK 3.5m ($315m), although they were originally procured by the Hynion AS subsidiary for approximately SEK 67m ($6m). Components such as high-quality station equipment will help fill gaps or replace parts in Metacon’s currently hydrogen refuelling station projects under construction. “The acquisition allows Metacon to cost-effectively [...]

Europe’s green hydrogen rules may push up project costs, but rethinking them now would halt investment and limit renewables expansion, according to Hy2gen CEO Cyril Dufau-Sansot. It’s an increasingly fringe view in the current landscape. Particularly as the German developer’s flagship European projects face wildly different power supply options and highly contrasting output due to [...]

The Danish investor agreed to inject €15m ($16m) in the first 100MW phase of the EU-backed Lubmin project through its Energy Transition Fund. The project, supported by EU IPCEI funding of €167m ($179m), is targeting an annual production of up to 10,000 tonnes of hydrogen in its first phase, with construction slated to begin in [...]

The pressurised alkaline electrolyser will use renewable wind power and water to produce up to 4,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, once it’s operational at the end of 2025. Around 2,700 tonnes of that hydrogen will be piped 25km through a repurposed natural gas pipeline to TotalEnergies’ refinery in Leuna, where it’s set to [...]

Fifteen Democratic lawmakers from Washington and Oregon have demanded the US Department of Energy (DOE) reverse its termination of funding for the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2), calling the decision “unacceptable” and “unlawful.” In a letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the Representatives and Senators warned the move jeopardised US manufacturing jobs and private investment. [...]

Centrica and National Gas yesterday (October 13) completed the UK’s first hydrogen injection into the National Transmission System (NTS). The blended gas is combusted in turbines at the power plant to generate electricity for the national grid. However, the Hydrogen Science Coalition (HSC) highlighted that a 2% blend cuts emissions by less than 0.7%, due [...]

Around 70% of China’s electrolyser manufacturers could disappear as fierce competition and plunging prices drive market consolidation, according to Energy Iceberg founder Yuki Yu. Yu told a H2 View webinar the Chinese electrolyser market was a “song of ice and fire,” with projects now moving from paper to the final investment decision (FID) stage. This [...]

The Swedish company announced today (October 13) that the proceeds from the round are expected to represent up to 15% of its total project funding. Last year, Stegra secured up to €6.5bn ($$7.15bn) to develop the plant. The new capital will help offset higher construction costs, fund a three-month project extension, and replace state grants [...]

The agreement, exclusive to the Southeast Asian market, will see Acme supply green hot briquetted iron (HBI) and direct reduced iron (DRI). The deal is described as “take-or-pay/supply,” meaning Stavian must buy the agreed volume even if it doesn’t use it. The Indian clean energy company will supply the hydrogen-derived materials from its planned 1.2 [...]
