Alstom was set to be backed with state-aid funding allocated under the EU’s Hy2Tech Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) scheme. However, France’s decision to halt its contribution effectively blocks Alstom’s access to its share of EU support, as IPCEIs require matching national funding. While Alstom has suspended work at its hydrogen subsidiary, it [...]

The Fusion Fuel subsidiary has already begun engineering work for the project, and production of key equipment is underway. The engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the initiative, BrightHy, expects to commission and deliver the production and refuelling project next year. Production volumes have not been disclosed, but the €1.7m contract value suggests a relatively [...]

The Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone took off from Llanbedr, Wales, and flew into Eryri National Park and up to 10km offshore. Alongside uAvionix and BVLOS specialist operator Skyfarer, BT and IE aimed to demonstrate that the hydrogen-powered application could safely reach the current range limit set by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. [...]

The operator will convert its bus route 39A to run entirely on hydrogen buses, which have been manufactured and supplied by Portugal’s CaetanoBus. The 12-metre vehicles will seat 78 passengers and feature 70kW fuel cell systems supplied by Toyota. Five 7.5kg hydrogen tanks are stored on the roof, and the buses will have a range [...]

The sale of OCI Ammonia Holding includes the OCI Terminal Europoort (OTE), a large import and storage terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and OCI Ammonia Distribution (OAD), which delivers ammonia to external European customers.

The prefecture-level region in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region also wants to produce two million tonnes of green ammonia and three million tonnes of green methanol at Xing’an’s Economic and Technological Development Zone. Six billion yuan ($840m) has already been invested in infrastructure, according to Gao Tianyu, director of the Administrative Committee of the zone, [...]

Raven SR’s newly awarded Authority to Construct for its long-delayed California waste-to-hydrogen plant has broken the logjam that stalled progress over three years – paving the way for a ground-breaking ceremony as early as February 2026. CEO Matt Murdock told H2 View about the extensive and often unexpected hurdles the company faced during the Bay [...]

In its preliminary, unaudited results, the firm anticipates sales of €845m ($974m), down from €862m ($993.8m) a year earlier, resulting in expected earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of around €2m ($2.3m). Group sales came in below previously revised sales forecasts of €850m–€920m ($989m–€1.06bn), while the EBIT landed in the upper half of the guidance [...]

The demonstration uses Greenlyte’s fully electric, modular LiquidSolar system, which captures CO2, produces green hydrogen, converts both into syngas, and synthesises this into e-fuels such as synthetic natural gas, e-methanol, or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at “fossil-competitive costs.” As a proof-of-concept facility, the company expects to produce up to five tonnes of synthetic natural gas [...]

ExxonMobil has paused plans for its giant blue hydrogen production plant in Texas, US, according to new reports. CEO Darren Woods reportedly told Reuters that the company has been struggling to secure sufficient offtake from the one billion cubic feet per day plant, which had been targeting start-up in 2027-2028. Unveiled in 2022, the project [...]
