The ITM Power subsidiary Hydropulse and the project developer Eternal Power have entered into a strategic partnership. The goal is to supply industrial customers in Germany with green hydrogen starting in summer 2025 – without upfront investments.

The Australian research organization CSIRO has successfully demonstrated a beam-down solar reactor for the production of green hydrogen for the first time. The technology uses concentrated solar energy and metallic oxide particles for thermochemical water splitting.

The industry association Hydrogen Europe has appointed new members to its board. Dr. Sopna Sury of RWE Generation will remain Chair until 2028. The new appointments reflect key sectors of the hydrogen economy.

The German federal government has adopted the 2025 draft budget and key figures for 2026. The German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) criticizes massive cuts in hydrogen funding and warns of negative consequences for industry and Germany as a business location.

The international trade fair hy-fcell 2025 will take place on October 7 and 8 in Stuttgart. The focus will be on new hydrogen applications for heavy-duty transport. Daimler Truck and Cellcentric will showcase new prototypes and systems. Infrastructure and aviation will also be addressed.

The National Hydrogen Council (NWR) has published eight theses for a future-oriented hydrogen policy. Among other things, it calls for simplified regulatory frameworks, the rapid expansion of infrastructure and reliable market structures for hydrogen and its derivatives.

The German Hydrogen Association (DWV) welcomes the draft bill implementing the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) in the transport sector. At the same time, the association calls for significantly more ambitious quotas for green hydrogen and electricity-based fuels.

A research consortium led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has launched an atlas for green hydrogen production in Germany. This online tool identifies suitable sites for electrolyzers, taking into account factors such as industrial demand, availability of renewable energy, and the utilization of by-products.

Intercontinental Energy, a global developer of large-scale green hydrogen projects, has unveiled a patented system called P2(H2)Node. Developed in Australia, the technology aims to reduce the production costs of green hydrogen by 10 to 20 percent, thereby accelerating the widespread adoption of this energy carrier.

The Swiss company Infener wants to promote hydrogen throughout Europe. Decentralized H₂ hubs will be used to generate green electricity as well as green heat. The Ecore One is a compact containerized solution that combines various energy technologies in one unit: electrolyzer, fuel cell and battery as well as compressor and a heat pump with its own energy management system or EMS. H₂ production is due to start 2027 at a site in the Black Forest, Germany. However, the needs of regional industry are already far greater today.

Green hydrogen is an important building block of the energy transition. With its help, regenerative energy can be stored and used as needed in a wide variety of sectors. But how will the generation, storage, distribution and use of hydrogen come together? An answer to this question is the goal of the project H₂VL of the regional district (Landkreis) Havelland: Various local players along the entire hydrogen value chain are being identified, networked and supported in the implementation of their projects – from production through distribution to use. For this, Havelland is being supported by the German transport ministry, through the hydrogen and fuel cell innovation support program NIP2, with nearly 400,000 euros as one of the 15 winners of the title HyExpert Region.

Four companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Global Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam to establish a hydrogen corridor for truck transport across Europe.

Daimler Buses will deliver ten fuel cell buses featuring a new, pure hydrogen drive mode to SSB Stuttgart. These vehicles are part of a strategy aimed at integrating various alternative drive systems within the fleet.

With the procurement of ten fuel cell buses, SSB concludes the trial phase of...

The regional energy supplier badenova has begun construction of a hydrogen pipeline in the Upper Rhine region. Through its subsidiary badenovaNetze, the Badenova group is among the first companies to actively contribute to the development of Germany's national hydrogen core network.

Hydrogenious LOHC has received official approval to build and operate what it claims to be the world's largest commercial hydrogen storage facility using the liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) benzyltoluene.
