The US Department of Energy has terminated funding for two clean hydrogen hubs, previously selected for a combined $2.2bn. California’s Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), and the Pacific Northwest Regional Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2) both saw funds cut as part of a wider $7.5bn rollback, largely targeting projects in Democrat-leaning states. The funding [...]

Hydrogen supplier and project developer Econ is collaborating with energy firm Skellefteá Kraft to roll out a network of hydrogen refuelling stations throughout Sweden. Although the companies did not disclose the station’s capacity, H2 View understands it is equipped for refuelling at both 350 bar and 700 bar, serving heavy-duty transport as well as passenger [...]

By combining Morocco’s renewable energy potential with China’s capacity to finance and deliver major projects, Morocco could emerge as a leader in green hydrogen and the world’s lowest-cost producer of green ammonia. That was a key message at the World Power-to-X Summit in Marrakech, where industry leaders said green hydrogen costs could fall to $1.87/kg. [...]

The support comes as part of a €4bn–€6.5bn ($4.2bn–$6.8bn) package backing a shift to gas-based direct reduction technology, while also exploring carbon capture and biomethane. According to a joint letter of intent signed with the Dutch government and the Province of North Holland, the first phase of the programme will see one of the site’s [...]

The Conservative Party has pledged to scrap the 2008 legislation and replace it with a strategy for “cheap and reliable energy.” Updated in 2019, the act set a legally binding target for the UK to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050. By binding governments to long-term decarbonisation, the act compels ministers to develop hydrogen as [...]

The Federal Cabinet adopted the draft yesterday (October 1), and it will now be passed to the Bundestag and Bundesrat for debate and approval. Originally proposed by the previous government, the act would give hydrogen projects “overriding public interest” status until 2045, allowing legal priority for approvals. Currently, the main regulatory shifts in Germany include [...]

Last December, the government pledged to create an H2P business model, based on a dispatchable power agreement (DPA) framework, and launched a call for early projects last April. The government is now asking industry how H2P plants should be categorised in the Capacity Market, whether as combustion units, blending projects, fuel cells or closed-loop systems, [...]

The Knapton H2 Storage consortium has been awarded Discovery funding by Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to evaluate storage potential in the Knapton, North Yorkshire, area. Specifically, the study will investigate depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, porous aquifers, salt deposits, and lined rock shaft options in the Vale of Pickering and the wider North Yorkshire region to [...]

The six-month pilot will operate 16 solar hydrogen reactors, covering 30m², powered solely by sunlight and water. The trial is expected to test performance, durability, scalability, and generate data for commercialisation. Partner GTI Energy will support the trial with safety review and on-site systems integration. “With its decades of leadership, including its Hydrogen Technology Centre [...]

Echoing the opening pragmatic address from Dr Leila Benali, Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry and Commerce, admitted to feeling “lost” with the often confusing claims surrounding hydrogen forecasts, before advocating a more pragmatic approach to generate growth. “We are still asking a lot of questions. The next rule is ‘just be competitive – then let’s [...]
