Air Products has commissioned a new hydrogen refueling station in Meckenheim, in the south of North Rhine-Westphalia. The facility will supply the bus fleet of Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) and is part of an infrastructure project for emission-free mobility in the Rhein-Sieg district.
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 company Hy2gen is planning a 200 MW plant for the production of synthetic fuels at the port of Oulu in Finland. The city is set to become the leading e-fuels location in the Baltic Sea region. A final investment decision is still pending.
Despite a slight decline in revenue, thyssenkrupp nucera achieved a positive result in the 2024/25 fiscal year. The Green Hydrogen segment significantly improved its EBIT, but recorded a massive drop in order intake. For 2025/26, the company expects a significant decline in revenue and earnings.
The Rostock-based system provider Cytok reports an efficiency of over 85 percent for its power-to-gas plants. The technology converts excess electricity into synthetic methane – fully utilizing CO₂ and oxygen in the cycle.
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.
Hydrogen Europe Research has awarded five young scientists with the Young Scientist Award 2025. The awards were presented during the EU Hydrogen Research and Innovation Days in Brussels.
In the research project H2Rollout, a flat flame burner is being fully converted to hydrogen for the first time in a galvanizing plant. The goal is to develop a transferable solution for low-CO₂ high-temperature processes in industry.
At the 3H2 Forum in Basel, around 300 experts from politics, business and science discussed the role of hydrogen in the tri-border region between Germany, France and Switzerland. The focus was on cross-border strategies, concrete application projects and investments.
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.
According to a new report by DNV, hydrogen, ammonia and other new energy carriers will contribute more than 25 percent to emissions reductions in the Asia-Pacific region by 2050. They are particularly relevant for hard-to-abate industries.
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.
The German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE) has criticized the assessment by the Federal Court of Auditors regarding alleged multi-billion-euro risks in the ramp-up of hydrogen. The federation sees green hydrogen as a macroeconomically sound investment with long-term benefits.
A study published on the Nature website in June examined the competitiveness of hydrogen imports from Africa to the EU – with sobering results. Without political backing from European countries, hydrogen from Africa remains too expensive, the study concludes.
The analysis is based on geospatial...
Torghatten Nord and Norwegian Ship Design are developing two hydrogen ferries that are scheduled to operate on the route between Bodø and the Lofoten Islands starting in 2026. The vessels are expected to consume up to six tonnes of green hydrogen per day.
The Norwegian ferry operator Torghatten Nord...
The Italian companies SIAD and Brembo have made financial investments in the start-up Hydrospark. Both are investing up to one million euros each. The company develops solid oxide cells for converting hydrogen into electricity and heat, as well as for reconverting renewable energy into electricity...
A mood of optimism and determination prevailed on September 2 at the Neckarhafen in Stuttgart, where five logistics companies, including Amazon and Holcim, reported on their one-year experiences with their fuel cell trucks. In total, the companies had covered 225,000 kilometers with their Mercedes...
Hylane has brought the first hydrogen truck equipped with a Bosch fuel cell module into Germany’s road freight transport sector. The 40-ton truck from Iveco is operated by logistics company Schäflein for the Bosch plant in Nuremberg – as part of a rental model.
The Cologne-based company Hylane has...
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.
As part of the EU demonstration...
China provides clarity
Stakeholders in the hydrogen industry in Germany and China share a common goal: to finally bring this industry into economic reality. But while the sector in Germany has long and increasingly loudly been calling for government funding, in China, a single sentence is often...
In the coming weeks, a decision will be made in London on whether the international community will send a signal for a global hydrogen ramp-up in the shipping sector.
Jan Rispens, head of the Renewable Energy Hamburg Cluster (EEHH), looks ahead to the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg and discusses how the hydrogen ramp-up could be accelerated.
More than 120 exhibitors and around 2,000 trade visitors discussed technological advances, market prospects and regulatory frameworks for hydrogen at hy-fcell 2025. For the first time, the conference was included in the trade fair ticket – and was met with great interest.
