The EU’s strict green hydrogen standards could increase costs and slow the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a clean energy carrier, according to Oxccu’s CEO. Andrew Symes, CEO and Founder of the Oxford University spinout, said that if green hydrogen production rules are too stringent, the SAF market will struggle to take hold. [...]

The UK-based electrolyser manufacturer revealed today (March 27) that a capacity reservation made in July 2024 for four of its 2MW Neptune units was linked to the Teesside-based development. ITM has now been selected to deliver a plant integration engineering package for the project in Northeast England. Tees Green Hydrogen plans to launch with a [...]

Construction has started despite the Belgian Government withdrawing a €250m ($270m) funding package that was earmarked for the pipeline network last month. Nevertheless, an online statement released by Fluxys claimed the government will back the initial project through the European Resilience and Recovery Fund. The initial pipeline projects will be built in the port areas [...]

Alongside the Chancellor’s Spring statement today (March 26), the Treasury said the government would work to remove the Climate Change Levy (CCL) costs from electricity used in electrolysis. The CCL is an energy tax on commercial users to encourage businesses to become more energy-efficient and cut carbon emissions. Currently, the electricity CCL is charged at [...]

Politico today (March 26) released a report which said sources had told the publication that a list circulating within the DOE suggests blue-state projects could have funding their Biden-era Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding cut. However, it suggests funding for the three hubs in Republican states would be maintained. It comes after President [...]

The nationwide fixed fee will apply to everyone using the network until 2055, with regulators checking its progress every three years. The German Government has said the ramp-up fee is required to cover the high upfront costs of building and operating the network at a time when demand is still low. They aim to keep [...]

Matthieu Boisson, Managing Director at CertifHy, the industrial-backed verification programme, claimed the three certification bodies will help ensure the “integrity and transparency of sustainable hydrogen production.” From 2030, RFNBO rules will require green hydrogen producers to use electricity from newly built renewable sources, located in the same grid zone and matched on an hourly basis. [...]

In 2023 the French firm was placed into receivership, in which an independent third party takes control of company assets, operations and finances. At the time, the court froze Hopium’s debts as it determined a recovery plan. The focus is now on delivering 100kW and 200kW fuel cell modules, which Hopium has said will be [...]

The stacks will initially be manufactured at Bosch’s Bamberg plant in Germany. Bosch is also working with German-based Fest to integrate the stacks into a containerised 2.5MW system. Initially, the pair will deploy a system at Bosch’s Bamberg plant where hydrogen will be used to conduct endurance testing on its fuel cells. Power from Bosch’s [...]

Fabrum and Ara Ake will develop the systems for Stralis Aircraft’s fixed-wing aeroplane. Under the partnership, Stralis will deliver the hydrogen-electric propulsion systems and aircraft integrated with Fabrum’s tanks and fuel system. “Our hydrogen liquefier provides readily available liquid hydrogen onsite, allowing the capability to access the critical fuel source to prove and test the [...]
