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 US hydrogen player has entered a definitive agreement with Stream Data Centers to sell its Project Gateway site at the STAMP industrial park in New York, including land, associated infrastructure, and substation assets. The STAMP site had secured substantial grid and substation capacity for hydrogen electrolysis – infrastructure now highly attractive to power-hungry data [...]

Despite an oversupply of electrolyser stack manufacturing capacity, supply chain bottlenecks remain in balance components such as power conversion and gas treatment, according to a new World Bank Group report. The report by the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMPA) estimates global annual electrolyser manufacturing capacity at 61GW, with a further 16GW under [...]

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 [...]

Under a “long-term contract”, heavy-duty transport and industrial machinery firm MaserFrakt will receive the molecules to support the uptake of hydrogen vehicles in its fleet. While the contract’s terms, like sales volume or end date, have not been revealed, H2 View understands hydrogen will be supplied for Norwegian Hydrogen’s 1.3-tonne-per-day Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub. MaserFrakt has [...]

The Singapore-headquartered company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at which it slated the new facility as a landmark for its expansion in the Middle East. MGS plans to set up a 2.5 million-tonne-per-year (mtpa) hot briquetted iron (HBI) project in Oman’s Duqm industrial area, where it will use green hydrogen and natural gas to power a [...]

The steel wire transformation and coating technologies firm announced the one-off charge in its full-year 2025 results, where it reported consolidated sales of €3.7bn ($4.37bn). The temporary halt at the Bekintex site in Wetteren was announced in October, with Bekaert citing slow green hydrogen market development for the “foreseeable future.” “Slower growth in the hydrogen [...]

The company’s operating loss grew from NOK 389m ($40.7m) to NOK 1.365bn ($142.9m), with its revenues falling to NOK 963m ($100.8m). EBITDA also widened from NOK –173m (–$18.1m) to NOK –275m (–$28.8m). Despite the mounting losses, the company’s cash balance remained relatively stable, dropping to NOK 1.6bn ($167m) from NOK 1.87bn ($195.7m). Additionally, its order [...]

E-methane was produced by a test facility, connected to Inpex’s Koshijihara Plant, by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and distributed through Osaka’s natural gas pipeline network. The gas, which is chemically identical to methane, is made by reacting CO2 and green hydrogen at a high temperature in the presence of a catalyst, in a methanation [...]
