Green hydrogen is a key building block for the decarbonization and resilience of the European energy system. At the same time, it strengthens Europe’s strategic independence in an increasingly volatile global energy market. However, building a strong European value chain and ensuring a balanced competitive environment requires clear regulations that govern the market access of subsidized Chinese suppliers, as well as realistic RFNBO criteria.
RCT Hydrogen from Konstanz is supplying a turnkey 10 MW electrolyser for the "Green Hydrogen Sines" project at the Port of Sines. The client is the project development company Beyond Green. Delivery is scheduled to begin in 2026, with production starting in the summer of 2027.
The US company Verde Hydrogen has received an order from China Coal Energy Group to supply equipment for the first phase of an off-grid green hydrogen production project. According to Verde Hydrogen, it is a flagship project for off-grid hydrogen production in China’s heavy industry. The company...
On June 3, 2026, the German Federal Government’s coordinator for the Maritime Economy and Tourism, Christoph Ploß, visited Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) to learn about the results of a project on the production of hydrogen at sea.
Together with industry and research partners, TUHH has...
The 20 MW hydrogen electrolysis plant in Langstranda near Bodø is a joint project between the European infrastructure investor Luxcara and the Norwegian developer GreenH. Their goal: zero-emission shipping for regional and coastal transport.
At the end of April, Aero 2026 took place in Friedrichshafen, one of the leading aviation trade fairs with more than 850 exhibitors. Steven Oji and Carolin Anger of Hyfindr took a look around, and found an industry in the midst of a debate about sustainable propulsion systems.
Heavy-duty trucks are actually a perfect use case for the energy carrier hydrogen. But in the logistics industry, cost pressure is particularly harsh. The newly introduced tradable GHG quotas and the new funding program from the German federal government could help make the market entry possible.
Without government kick-start support, the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy will not succeed. CfDs could serve as a bridge to competitiveness, argues our guest author from CIP, a global fund manager and leading investor in renewable energy infrastructure.
Green hydrogen in the natural gas grid already bridges the gap between producers and consumers today. This potential should be leveraged more strongly to accelerate the German market ramp-up, argues our guest author from the engineering firm Emcel. No technical adjustments are required while simultaneously providing climate benefits.
This year, for the first time, the Hydrogen Dialogue, with its conference and forum on the trade fair floor, was part of The Smarter E, the energy transition trade fair. Are electricity and hydrogen now coming together?
After years of high expectations for hydrogen, experts at the Hamburg congress “EnergieZukunftWasserstoff” (Energy future hydrogen) called for a reassessment of the technology. Specialists from engineering, industry, politics and law agreed that hydrogen remains indispensable for a climate-neutral energy system.
Tanaka Precious Metal has developed a metallic membrane that is said to already achieve high permeability for hydrogen at around 100 degrees Celsius. The palladium membrane bears the name HPM-L111. It is intended to make it possible to separate high-purity hydrogen quickly and at significantly lower...
Before going on vacation, there is always an especially large amount to do. The desk and the inbox should be as empty as possible, so that one can truly relax and really hit the ground running in the fall. There are certain parallels to the hydrogen economy.
A whole batch of funded projects is in...
Hydrogenera and Stargate Hydrogen have signed a framework cooperation agreement covering industrial hydrogen projects across Europe. The two European companies plan to combine Stargate's next-generation alkaline electrolyzer stacks with Hydrogenera's system integration expertise.
A coalition of 16 German and European business associations is calling for a European hydrogen alliance at the member state level. Germany is to take a leading role in this. Although progress is being made, it remains behind the requirements.
EWE and Salzgitter Flachstahl have signed a long-term supply contract for green hydrogen. From 2030, approximately 10,000 tonnes per year are to flow from the 320 MW electrolysis plant under construction in Emden through the hydrogen core network to Salzgitter.
Air Products is supplying the ArianeGroup with low-carbon liquid hydrogen for engine tests over a three-year period. The gas is liquefied at the Port of Rotterdam and used at the French site in Vernon for the European launch vehicle Ariane 6.
The French exploration company Mantle8 has raised 31 million euros in a Series A funding round. The company intends to use the capital to finance a global drilling campaign for the development of natural hydrogen.
The European Commission has published the results of the third auction of the European Hydrogen Bank. Nine projects in seven countries will receive more than 1.09 billion euros in funding. For the first time, electrolytically produced low-carbon hydrogen is also eligible for funding.
RCT Hydrogen plans to begin manufacturing alkaline pressure electrolysers in Saarbrücken in June 2026. The production partner is Brück GmbH, and the Chinese company Guofuhee is also involved. The annual capacity is expected to be 250 MW. The first order is a 5 MW electrolyser for a German industrial customer.
Natural hydrogen from geological sources raises hopes as an affordable energy source. However, a current position paper by the ESYS initiative shows significant research needs. According to experts, the energy carrier is not suitable as a gamechanger.
The energy transition currently has two major efficiency problems: First, surplus electricity from renewable sources is often curtailed. Second, valuable energy potentials from biowaste often remain unused. This is precisely where a project of the North German Real-World Laboratory (NRL) at the...
The Polish company Studium Wodoru has set a national range record for hydrogen vehicles using a Toyota Mirai. The fuel cell vehicle covered 800 kilometres from Zakopane to Hel on a single tank of hydrogen.
The University of Stuttgart has launched the WAVE-H2 research platform for new hydrogen technologies. The aim is to develop solutions for decarbonising industry and mobility. The platform is to research new hydrogen technologies along the entire value chain – from production to application in...
In the wake of the triple disaster in Fukushima, the region in northeastern Japan has taken a unique approach to energy policy: it is relying entirely on solar and wind energy, biomass, and hydrogen.
