Thyssenkrupp Nucera has specified its revenue and earnings forecast for fiscal year 2024/2025. Despite a decline in order intake in the green hydrogen segment, the company maintains stable revenue expectations and slightly raises its EBIT forecast.
Hydrogen Europe has published a position paper on the European Commission’s planned Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP). The association is calling for targeted support measures to accelerate the scale-up of hydrogen in the transport sector – particularly in aviation, shipping and heavy-duty transport.
The hydrogen economy is growing worldwide, and with it the demand for sound comprehensive information, reliable market overviews and innovative digital solutions. This is precisely where the trade journal HZwei, its international counterpart H2international (H2int.) and the business platformdigital B2B platform Hyfindr come in.
The hydrogen produced by Abo Energy in Hünfeld-Michelsrombach is now officially certified as green. This makes the facility one of the few in Germany to have already received RNFBO certification under the European CertifHy standard.
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 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.
Two companies of the Sany Group are planning to jointly design and construct electrolysis plants in Europe and Africa. Each brings complementary expertise to the table.
Thyssenkrupp Nucera has been awarded a contract to carry out a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for a hydrogen project in Europe. According to the company, the planned water electrolysis plant will have a capacity of approximately 600 MW.
On 4 June 2025, Andritz officially opened its new electrolyser gigafactory in Erfurt, Germany. The production facility has an initial capacity of 1 GW, which corresponds to approximately 160 to 200 electrolysers per year.
For three days, hydrogen industry stakeholders from around the globe gathered in the Dutch port city to showcase innovations, exchange experiences, and forge business partnerships. The atmosphere was distinctly optimistic.
Hoerbiger and James Cropper have launched "Ready2Stack," a comprehensive solution for bipolar plates designed to simplify production for both fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturers.
The Norwegian state-owned energy company Statkraft is halting the development of new green hydrogen projects. For existing projects—including two electrolyzers in Emden, Germany—the company is seeking investors.
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.
At The smarter E Europe trade fair in Munich this June, the full spectrum of the energy transition will be on display—including many hydrogen industry exhibitors. HZwei will be present at the Gentner Energy Media booth, featuring two live expert interviews.
Politicians have big plans, and to reduce harmful greenhouse gases, they’re putting billions into the expansion of production and pipeline networks for "green" hydrogen. One of the ambitious targets is to increase its share of total energy consumption in the EU to over 20 percent by 2050 if possible. In Germany alone, they want to invest around 19 billion euros in the planned H2 core network, which is to increase to over 9,000 kilometers across all German states by 2032. With these pipelines, hydrogen should then flow from the northern German ports to storage facilities or power plants. In the final expansion – around 60 percent of the network will be former natural gas pipes – the feed-in capacity is to be over 100 gigawatts, according to the German network agency (Bundesnetzagentur).
Processes for the production, storage and use of hydrogen scaling, reducing costs and increasing efficiency: The trade fair Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Europe in Hannover is again proving the progress the hydrogen economy can show.
The transport transition is a central component of the German climate protection strategy. As part of this, hydrogen is seen as a key energy source, especially for heavy-duty goods vehicles. But how can hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) be supplied with hydrogen efficiently, sustainably and economically? A joint study by the National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW GmbH) and the German Energy Agency (dena) examines four supply options via a future H₂ pipeline network. In the study, H₂ hubs that act as connecting elements between the emerging H₂ network and the HRSs are of particular importance.
In the electrolyzer sector, not only Enapter needed to bury its production plans in Saerbeck last year (see H2-international Jan. 2025). Quest One is also struggling and announced the dismissal of 120 employees in February 2025. Quest One had just, with a lot of pomp, opened the production hall in northern Hamburg last autumn (see H2-international Jan. 2025), but now has initiated a "program to strengthen the company's competitiveness" for the north.
Germany is at a crossroads: Is hydrogen the load-bearing pillar of our climate-neutral energy supply or does it remain a large, expensive promise? The political course of the coming months will decide whether we create a globally competitive hydrogen market – or whether Germany loses connection to international development. This was pondered with our members at the German hydrogen association Deutscher Wasserstoff-Verband (DWV). We therefore formulated and published recommendations before the election of the German parliament under the title "H2Five: Fünf vor 2030" (five before 2030).
The current tense economic situation does not stop at the H2 industry. Home Power Solutions (HPS) now had to step into a series of insolvencies. The Berlin company is currently looking for investors who enable the Heliocentris successor to continue working or restructuring. Dr. Henrik Colell, the co...
Transport iron to use hydrogen: The new H2 storage technology of Ambartec AG conveys iron granulates and obtains the hydrogen on site through oxidation. In mid-February 2025, Ambartec, together with Purem by Eberspächer, signed a cooperation agreement (MOU) to prepare a serial production of this iron-nugget hydrogen storage and for its transport in standard 20-foot containers.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz took time for the opening of a new H2 gas station four days before the federal election. In Bremerhaven, together with representatives of HY.City.Bremerhaven as well as Bremen's mayor Andreas Bovenschulte and SPD member of the Bundestag Uwe Schmidt, Scholz cut the ribbon...
Together with Air Liquide, Limak Cement Group has successfully tested the first hydrogen-blended fuel supply for cement production in Ankara, Turkey. H2-international conducted an interview with Erkam Kocakerim, CEO of Limak Cement Global.
After more than 50 years of experience with hydrogen, Honeywell is also banking on green hydrogen with its company Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS). The US conglomerate takes the entire value chain into account: from more efficient PEM electrolysis all the way to transport infrastructure.
