More than 30 leading companies from the energy, automotive and technology sectors are calling on EU heads of state and government to provide stronger support for hydrogen mobility. In a joint letter, they are urging political action to scale up infrastructure and the market.

H2Apex has taken over the insolvent HH2E Werk Lubmin project. The site has grid connections and is considered strategically favorable for hydrogen production. A 100 MW plant is to be built by 2028 and later expanded to 1,000 MW.

The EU Commission has proposed a new climate target for 2040: net greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by 90 percent compared to 1990 levels. According to the Commission, the proposal is intended to strengthen investment in clean technologies and support industry on the path to climate neutrality.

A new network of hydrogen refueling stations is being established along the highways surrounding Milan in northern Italy. Five stations are scheduled to be built by the end of 2025. The compressor technology is being supplied by the German company Maximator Hydrogen.

The French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has become the first company in France to deliver hydrogen with the new RFNBO certificate from the EU. The certification confirms compliance with the highest environmental standards in the production of green hydrogen.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
