The model of a reactor that produces hydrogen from waste via plasma pyrolysis and a testing methodology for coated pipelines can be seen at the Fraunhofer Performance Center Hydrogen Hessen.

At the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026, Tanaka Precious Metal Technologies presents solutions for the hydrogen value chain. At the booth, catalysts for electrolysis and fuel cells, palladium membranes, and precious metal recycling processes are on display.

Purem by Eberspächer showcases components for fuel cell systems at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg, including the latest innovation, the De-Hydrator for reducing moisture in exhaust air. Additionally, solutions for the hydrogen value chain and a concept for CO2 capture from the air are presented.

At the Hydrogen Technology Expo 2026 in Hamburg, Envirofalk is showcasing an expanded ultrapure water platform for electrolysers up to 100 megawatts. Additionally, the company is presenting a water treatment plant with digital sensors and a connection to a digital twin at the stand.

The eFuel Alliance has presented a position paper that classifies electricity-based fuels as a security-relevant factor for Europe. The association calls for practical production rules, binding sub-quotas, and the crediting of investments towards the NATO spending target.

The planned amendment to the Wind Energy at Sea Act opens the way for combined electricity and hydrogen production at sea for the first time. The AquaVentus initiative welcomes the draft bill but criticizes the restriction to individual areas. According to the initiative's calculations, double-digit billions could be saved.

170 companies from the European energy sector have addressed a letter to the EU Commission. They demand that the binding RFNBO targets for hydrogen in transport and industry be maintained beyond 2030. Abolishing them would jeopardize investments of over 15 billion euros.

Numerous European associations from the energy, hydrogen, and industrial sectors are urging the EU Commission to quickly revise the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1184. The ongoing uncertainty about the production criteria for renewable hydrogen endangers investments along the entire value chain.

Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) has received funding approvals totaling 29.5 million euros for its Green Mobility Depot in Bergisch Gladbach. The project includes a hydrogen refueling station with its own electrolyser. The hydrogen unit is expected to be operational by the end of 2026.

The municipality of Bosbüll in North Frisia is expanding its district heating network. In the future, process heat from local hydrogen production will also be fed into the system. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2025.

Hyster delivers the United Kingdom's first fuel cell reachstacker to the Port of Tilbury. In port logistics, battery-electric drives reach their limits, as the vehicles are in operation around the clock and must move heavy loads.

The new joint venture Quantron China aims to develop locally emission-free commercial vehicles for the Chinese market—and beyond. Behind it are the business unit Quantron of the Germany-rooted Haller Group, the young Chinese technology company HyperView from the automotive sector, and Foxconn as a manufacturing partner.

The RH2INE initiative has received an initial approval from Lloyd's Register for the standardized design of interchangeable hydrogen containers. This brings a mobile hydrogen infrastructure for emission-free inland shipping along the Rhine corridor closer.

The Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability (LBF) in Darmstadt. The focus of the exchange was on methods for evaluating and monitoring safe hydrogen systems.
