The European Commission is proposing to almost halve tariff-free steel import quotas and introduce a 50% duty for excess shipments to preserve its domestic steelmaking. Under the plans announced on Tuesday (7 October), all imports from countries outside of the European Economic Area will be covered, with importers set to disclose where the steel was [...]

Under the agreement, MEW will develop, build, and operate the anaerobic digesters and biogas treatment systems, while Utility will provide and operate the hydrogen production system – specifically its H2Gen technology. The US-based clean technology firm’s H2Gen process produces hydrogen from water without electricity, using the chemical energy in industrial off-gases or biogas to drive [...]

The company said Jose Luis Crespo would become President on 10 October before taking up the CEO role on 2 March. Current President Sanjay Shrestha will leave the company. Marsh, who has led the company since 2008, will continue to serve as CEO throughout the transition period and has been appointed Executive Chair of the [...]

Ineos has warned that progress towards low-carbon production could come at the expense of British jobs without urgent government action on energy prices and trade protection. The company said that high UK energy costs have left its plant uncompetitive compared with countries benefiting from cheaper industrial power and gas. Meanwhile, “dumped” Chinese imports have flooded [...]

Provided by Crédit Agricole and the state-backed investment bank Bpifrance, the financing will support the construction of the facility in Port-La Nouvelle, Occitanie. Additional indirect support will likely come through EU funding for the wider hydrogen corridor network in the region. The initiative is expected to power a regional hydrogen mobility network, including the Narbonne [...]

Stargate said its 10MW Aurora system achieves 14.4 m² per MW, making it the “most space-efficient alkaline electrolyser of its kind on the market.” Space constraints remain a challenge for industrial hydrogen users. The electrolyser module integrates two 5MW Starbase stacks with a stack consumption of less than 49kWh/kg of hydrogen, and features an outdoor-ready [...]

The containerised MC500 unit will be delivered to the Association for Waste Disposal in Buchs. The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen using renewable power from a 190,000-tonne-per-year waste incineration plant. Rather than letting residual electricity go unused or into the grid, the project diverts that power to produce green hydrogen, closing a circular loop by [...]

A majority of Chart shareholders voted in favour of the merger agreement, which will see shares priced at $210 once the transaction is completed. The deal is expected to be completed by mid-year 2026. “We are pleased to deliver this transaction to Chart shareholders and thank them for their support,” said Chart President and CEO [...]

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) said the second round of CCFDs would be “more flexible, more SME-friendly, and more technology neutral” than the 2024 auction, which awarded €2.8bn ($3.3bn) to 15 projects. Energy Minister Katherina Reiche recently told the Bundestag that €6bn ($7.02bn) would be available for CCFDs in 2026. The [...]

Hydrospark has developed a platform that uses ceramic materials to produce solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOECs) with higher energy density and reduced manufacturing costs. According to the company, these cells produce electricity and heat from hydrogen with high efficiency and zero emissions. They can also convert renewable energy into hydrogen. “This investment will allow us [...]
