Stadtwerke Stuttgart are adding a fourth electrolyser to their Green Hydrogen Hub Stuttgart. The Federal State of Baden-Württemberg is supporting the expansion with approximately 2.9 million euros.
Verde Hydrogen has developed a platform concept for its alkaline electrolysers that is both flexible and scalable. A key aspect is the mounting on skids.
With the third auction of the European Hydrogen Bank and the Innovation Fund 2025, the EU is allocating up to six billion euros for hydrogen projects. Germany and Spain are contributing additional national funds.
Mauritania has signed a framework agreement with Möhring Energie for the development of a PtX large-scale project. Starting in 2029, the plant is expected to produce up to 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually for export.
A new study by the TransHyDE project analyzes possible development paths for the European hydrogen system until 2050. It calls for swift political decisions to reduce costs, ensure supply security, and avoid misguided investments.
In Hamburg-Moorburg, the construction of a 100 MW electrolyser has begun. The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub project is expected to deliver around 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually from 2027. The operators are Luxcara and Hamburger Energiewerke.
EWE has begun construction of a 320-megawatt hydrogen plant in Emden. The plant is part of the "Clean Hydrogen Coastline" project and is expected to supply green hydrogen to industrial customers from the end of 2027.
In the KISSSEs project, Fraunhofer ILT, iGas energy, and dLS LichtSchneiderei are working on laser-based manufacturing processes for PEM electrolysers. The goal is to replace precious metals with conductive titanium expanded metal and thus reduce production costs.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) receives around 157 million euros for the operation of the technology platform for electricity-based fuels in Leuna. The facility is set to test power-to-liquid processes on a semi-industrial scale until 2035.
The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the Holst Centre in the Netherlands are jointly working on a new AEM electrolyser stack. The aim is to create a series-ready, cost-efficient, and scalable solution for hydrogen production in Europe.
Quest One and Ryze Power have entered into a partnership to provide green hydrogen. At Quest One’s site in the city of Hamburg, Germany, hydrogen from test processes will in future be introduced to the market via a trailer station operated by Ryze Power.
A new analysis by Frontier Economics commissioned by AquaVentus shows: coupling offshore wind farms with electrolyzers and hybrid connection concepts could save up to €1.7 billion in system costs annually.
For the Sulphur Dioxide Depolarised Electrolysis (SDE), the institute received the hy-fcell Award in the Research & Development category. Dr. Dimitrios Dimitrakis explains in the interview with H2international what makes the process so special.
In Kløfta, Norway, Methanol Reformer and DRIV Hydrogen have commissioned a unit for decentralized hydrogen production from bio-methanol. The modular plant supplies high-purity hydrogen around the clock for mobile and stationary applications.
Stargate Hydrogen and OX2 are joining forces to deliver one of Northern Europe’s largest hydrogen projects in Åland, Finland. The centrepiece will be a newly developed 10 MW electrolyser system based on ceramic technology.
The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub, abbreviated as HGHH, has commissioned Kraftanlagen Energies & Services with the construction of the technical infrastructure for a 100 MW electrolysis plant. Commissioning is planned for the second half of 2027.
The joint venture Libra Horizon plans to build a 5 MW green hydrogen production facility in Trollhättan. The plant is expected to produce up to 775 tonnes of hydrogen per year, targeting industrial and transport applications.
The companies SIAD and Brembo are each investing up to one million euros in the Italian hydrogen start-up Hydrospark. The company develops solid oxide cells based on ceramic materials for emission-free energy conversion and storage.
At the Neste refinery in Rotterdam, the world’s largest high-temperature electrolyzer (SOEC) has been commissioned in an industrial environment. The 2.6 MW system was supplied by Dresden-based manufacturer Sunfire and is part of the EU-funded MultiPLHY project.
The electrolyzer for the first green hydrogen refueling station at the Port of Klaipėda has passed the Factory Acceptance Test. According to the company, the facility is set to become the first of its kind in the Baltic States.
Hydrogen producer Lhyfe has received RFNBO certification for four of its sites in Germany and France. According to the company, this makes Lhyfe the largest European producer of certified green hydrogen under the RED III standard.
The French geoscience company Mantle8 and the technology service provider Viridien have entered into a strategic partnership. The aim is to accelerate the exploration of natural hydrogen systems in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
In the Federal State of Lower Saxony, the AGil project has being launched to develop new business models for municipal utilities. The goal is to convert surplus electricity from renewable sources into hydrogen locally, thereby strengthening decentralized energy supply.
AquaVentus and Hydrogen Scotland have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The aim is to jointly expand hydrogen production and transport in the North Sea region. A position paper outlines specific infrastructure potentials.
