From October 21 to 23, 2025, the international hydrogen industry will gather at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg. The trade fair, accompanied by a conference, is considered one of the largest platforms for hydrogen technologies in Europe. The focus will be on production, storage, infrastructure, and applications.
The Indian chemical company TGV SRAAC is expanding its chlor-alkali plant in Kurnool by 50 percent. Once again, electrolyzer technology from Thyssenkrupp nucera will be used. The order includes three electrolyzers and an engineering package.
French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has launched its first crowdfunding campaign, raising €2.5 million. Around 1,200 citizens contributed to the financing of four production sites in France and Germany.
For the first time, a hydrogen-powered baggage tug is being used at Hamburg Airport. The converted vehicle is being tested under real-world conditions as part of the North German Living Lab – a potential path toward CO2-free airport mobility.
At the Potsdam Science Park, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP) is working together with the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg on a new generation of bio-based carbon fibers. These are also intended for future use in fuel cells and hydrogen tanks.
In the Formula Student Austria design competition, hydrogen vehicles will compete against conventional drives for the first time in 2025. Two teams are using the new regulation, which is intended to strengthen the focus on alternative drives and CO₂ reduction.
Ambartec and Rouge H2 Engineering are jointly developing a process to convert steel mill gases into hydrogen and CO₂. The goal is to bring the technology to market maturity and implement it in the steel industry.
The French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has successfully tested the combustion of green hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas in industrial applications for the first time. The company also delivered green hydrogen to Spain for the first time.
Purem by Eberspächer has developed a modular exhaust air system for hydrogen-based fuel cell systems. It is designed to improve water management and reduce noise emissions. Initial tests with the engineering service provider AVL show promising results.
The Hamburg-based company eCap Marine is supplying hydrogen-based energy systems for two new vessel types. The clients are logistics group Samskip and Norwegian shipping company Møre Sjø. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027.
On July 2, 2025, the European Commission presented a proposal to amend the EU Climate Law. The aim is to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90 percent by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. This new interim target is intended to secure the path to the legally binding goal of climate neutrality...
With the growth of the hydrogen industry worldwide comes an increasing demand for sound comprehensive information, reliable market overviews and innovative digital solutions. This is why we from HZwei and H2international (H2int.) team up with the digital B2B platform Hyfindr. Our new media...
German transmission system operator Gascade Gastransport and UK-based National Gas have signed a memorandum of understanding to build an offshore hydrogen pipeline between the two countries. The proposed hydrogen corridor will run through the North Sea and connect to offshore wind farms. The...
The Australian research organization CSIRO has successfully demonstrated a beam-down solar reactor for the production of green hydrogen for the first time. The technology uses concentrated solar energy and metallic oxide particles for thermochemical water splitting.
At its Newcastle site, the...
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. End of June Lhyfe announced that its...
The blending of hydrogen into natural gas is the application area for sensors from Archigas. So far, there are only a few practical solutions for the necessary continuous measurement of concentration. The provider cites several challenges. Moisture and particles can damage conventional sensors, and...
The latest PEM fuel cell test station from Horiba is primarily intended for laboratories looking for an entry-level solution with a good price-performance ratio – for example, at universities or engineering offices. The station, named C05-LT, is a compact benchtop solution. It is suitable for single...
The new hydrogen flow and concentration sensor from Allengra is designed for use in the anode recirculation of PEM fuel cells and is intended to capture all the necessary parameters that need to be measured at this point.
A well-adjusted recirculation of unreacted hydrogen ensures optimal...
The new series of high-pressure valves from Maximator is compact but offers nominal diameters up to 1 inch. The valves in the ValvolutionX series are also said to weigh only a quarter of previous models. The comparison refers to “conventional, pneumatically operated high-pressure needle valves,”...
This July, the European Commission is expected to present a legislative proposal for the 10th Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10). In light of this, leading representatives from hydrogen-related research institutions and industry associations have jointly voiced their position. HZwei spoke with Luigi Crema, President of Hydrogen Europe Research, about the importance of FP10 for the hydrogen sector.
H2international and the German magazine HZwei have nearly completed their reorganization, but the core team remains in place. After all, the magazine has represented expertise in the field of hydrogen for over 20 years. What is new is, above all, the stronger integration with other media from the Gentner Energy Media group and a greater focus on digital formats.
