Last year, multinational company IHI Corporation signed a term sheet to import up to 400,000 tonnes from Acme’s project. Now, IHI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hokkaido Electric Power, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), Mizuho Bank, and Tokyo Century Corporate. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the partners plan to [...]

State-owned bank KfW, which is supporting the development with a €24bn ($25.9bn) loan, transferred €172m ($186m) to the H2 Amortisationskonto GmbH (AMKG) special purpose vehicle to make the payment. The pipeline network to be built and operated by the private sector, and financed by user fees, transmission system operators (TSOs) can secure loans from AMKG [...]

As part of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline initiative, the converted salt cavern is set to begin storing hydrogen in 2027. Neuman & Esser will supply two hydrogen compressors to enable high-pressure injection and withdrawal of the green fuel. EWE will use the small-scale 500m3 salt cavern storage project in Rüdersdorf as a proof of concept [...]

The hydrogen aviator was selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to “address research questions with specific implications for the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).” As part of the undisclosed grant, ZeroAvia will study how hydrogen-electric propulsion and autonomous flight systems could be integrated into [...]

Elliott, which had previously led investor revolts against the likes of BP, called for RWE to significantly increase and accelerate its share buyback programme – signalling a push for greater shareholder returns. This follows RWE’s recent decision to reduce its 2025-2030 investment plan by 25% while implementing stricter investment criteria, and raising return targets. While [...]

The 440MW project announced in 2021 was planned for Trafigura’s metals subsidiary Nyrstar Port Pirie smelter in South Australia. The first stage of the project would have introduced an 85MW electrolyser plant before it was scaled up to 440MW. Both the government and Trafigura had reportedly committed AUD $2.5m ($1.6m) each towards the project’s design. [...]

After agreeing on the deal last July, the partners plan to deliver low-carbon hydrogen – produced from methane with carbon capture – via pipeline to the Jubail Industrial City. H2 View understands that the acquisition will also include options for Aramco to offtake core ammonia components hydrogen and nitrogen from BHIG. The network, in combination [...]

While Next Hydrogen will retain control of its intellectual property and system design, Sungrow – a major Chinese electrolyser manufacturer with 3GW of capacity – will handle large-scale production, including the balance of plant components like pumps and piping. Beginning next year, Sungrow will manufacture Next Hydrogen electrolysers, including the balance of plant systems, such [...]

Those behind the Extreme E offroad racing series are set to launch its successor, the Extreme H series, later this year. The new racing series will illustrate the potential of hydrogen-powered racing and showcase the Pioneer 25 car. 1895 caught up with Ali Russell and Andy Welch of Extreme H to get the latest developments [...]

Despite industry-wide setbacks and recalibration, large-scale industrial hydrogen has made impressive steps to becoming a commercial reality in recent months. From Europe to southern Africa, change is firmly underway. Germany’s largest PEM electrolyser has just gone into operation at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site. The electrolyser has a connected load of 54MW and capacity to supply the [...]
