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.
Hoerbiger and James Cropper have launched "Ready2Stack," a comprehensive solution for bipolar plates designed to simplify production for both fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturers.
Technology provider Elcogen and plant engineering company Casale have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate solid oxide electrolysis into ammonia production. The partnership aims to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in the traditionally fossil-based ammonia industry by using green hydrogen.
Hydrogen specialist H2Apex is expanding its activities in the field of chemical hydrogen storage through its subsidiary Akros Energy. Johannes Emigholz, an experienced software entrepreneur, has been appointed CEO and is expected to drive the development of innovative storage technologies.
The HyDresden initiative is calling for electrolysis and green hydrogen to be anchored as eligible infrastructure projects within the planned €500 billion special fund. Linde Engineering, Sunfire, and the Fraunhofer IKTS aim to establish Dresden as an international hydrogen hub and to expand domestic value creation.
Asahi Kasei, Nobian, Furuya Metal, and Mastermelt have launched a joint project to recycle metals from electrolyzer components. The initiative aims to establish a closed-loop system for critical raw materials such as iridium and ruthenium.
Following Abo Energy, Energiequelle has also announced a major project in Finland’s Oulu region. Electrolysis capacity of up to 500 MW could be installed there by 2033.
The Ukrainian consortium Hydrogen Ukraine is participating in the transnational hydrogen project EastGate H2V, which aims to advance the production, distribution, and use of renewable hydrogen in Eastern Europe.
