The hydrogen ramp-up is stalling. German energy companies and associations now want, out of “pragmatism”, to weaken the RFNBO criteria and declare targets non-binding.
On the site of Hamburg’s former Moorburg coal-fired power plant, the hydrogen future is taking shape, faster than many expected. With the H2 Connector and the 100 MW electrolyzer, an infrastructure is coming together that could turn the Hanseatic city into a central hub of the German hydrogen economy.
Namibia has excellent conditions for the production of green hydrogen, and the government has big plans. Iron, fertilizer, jobs: hydrogen is to advance the economy and make the country more independent. The journalist Klaus Sieg and the photographer Martin Egbert traveled through Namibia and got to know projects, hopes and challenges.
The “Planetary Health Check 2026” by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research paints an alarming picture: seven of nine planetary guardrails have already been breached. Even if the study does not explicitly name hydrogen, this industry, just like that of renewable energies, can understand...
In H2international 3/2026, in the article “Is this growing together?” it was stated that the trade fair The Smarter E had 2,800 exhibitors and expected 2,800 visitors. That is of course wrong. The expected visitor number was 100,000; the actually counted figure (not yet known at editorial deadline...

GEN-H Energy, a Spanish developer of decentralized energy systems, plans to build a power plant designed for balancing power in Kotka, Finland, which is to use hydrogen from methane pyrolysis. A capacity of 200 to 300 megawatts is envisaged. Hydrogen production using the technology of the Finnish...
Moeve has celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), Europe’s largest project to date for renewable hydrogen.
The first expansion stage bears the name “Onuba” and will comprise an electrolysis capacity of 300 MW at the Moeve...
The new joint venture Quantron China is to develop locally emission-free commercial vehicles for the Chinese market, and beyond. Behind it stand the Quantron business unit of the German-rooted Haller Group, the young Chinese technology company HyperView from the automotive sector, and Taiwan’s...
Hyster delivers the United Kingdom’s first fuel cell reachstacker to the Port of Tilbury. In port logistics, battery-electric drives reach their limits, as the vehicles are in operation around the clock and must move heavy loads.
The pre-series vehicle now in operation builds on insights from pilot...
Lhyfe has taken delivery of ten new Type IV hydrogen containers from supplier Hexagon Purus. According to the company, its fleet now comprises 84 tube trailers dedicated to hydrogen transport – one of the largest and most modern in Europe. Lhyfe and Hexagon Purus share a strategic industrial...
Italian engineering company Techfem has completed construction of the “Hydrogen Valley” in the southern Italian city of Lamezia Terme. The term “Hydrogen Valley” refers to an ecosystem in which green hydrogen is produced, stored, and supplied to local industrial and mobility users. In this case, the...

Thyssenkrupp nucera and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) have signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement at BHEL’s headquarters in New Delhi for the manufacture of alkaline water electrolyzers. The electrolyzers are intended for the production of green hydrogen in India. According to the...
The swarm takes flight
Hyfindr Managing Director Dr. Björn Lüssow shares insights and encounters from the international hydrogen community.
At this year’s World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, one thing was palpable:
The mood has shifted.
After a phase of high expectations...
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?
Project developers in the MENA region are ready to scale up green hydrogen. Cornelius Matthes (DII Desert Energy) and Laurent Antony (IPHE) agree that EU regulations are now the main challenge – but disagree on most details.
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.
The biggest obstacles to hydrogen are not technical – they are economic and regulatory in nature. That is the finding of a Capgemini study commissioned by BDEW, Germany’s energy and water industry association: too many projects are stalling because investment conditions remain too risky.
Hydrogen Dialogue is relocating from Nuremberg to Munich and will, for the first time this year, be part of the energy trade fair The Smarter E. Fabian Pfaffenberger from the Hydrogen Center Bavaria (H2.B) explains what this means for guests interested in hydrogen.
Few places in Europe offer better conditions for hydrogen production than Finland’s North. Now the region is making its case to investors.
The industrial gas company Air Products reports construction progress of more than 65 percent on its new hydrogen liquefaction plant in the Port of Rotterdam.
