Siemens Energy is preparing the legal and operational spin-off of its Transformation of Industry division. This division, with 17,000 employees and a turnover of 5.7 billion euros, also includes the electrolyser business for the production of green hydrogen.

The Lower Saxony start-up H2Green Oil is introducing the cloud-based solutions CIM Database Cloud and Elements for IoT from Contact Software. The company aims to link product development, operation, and service of its decentralised hydrogen systems.

Anyone who wants to develop fuel cells needs more than just product knowledge – in-depth expertise in manufacturing technology is also crucial. Robert Atkinson, head of the hydrogen unit in Factory Automation, explains how Siemens supports customers with its extensive experience in production technology.

At the Hydrogen Technology Expo, AvCarb is presenting its new gas diffusion layer Flex-GDL. The material is flexible, thin, and suitable for both fuel cells and electrolysers. It is designed to improve system efficiency and durability.

The new PdCu39 membrane enables the production of high-purity hydrogen via steam reforming without additional heating systems.

Laufenberg and Wevo-Chemie are presenting a new process for the continuous production of flat gaskets for fuel cells and electrolysers at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg. The technology is intended to make production more efficient and cost-effective.

For the Sulphur Dioxide Depolarised Electrolysis (SDE), the institute received the hy-fcell Award in the Research & Development category. Dr. Dimitrios Dimitrakis explains in the interview with H2international what makes the process so special.

With support from the German federal government and the Federal State of Lower Saxony, the Technical University (TU) of Braunschweig is establishing a new research center for circular production and recycling processes of batteries and fuel cells. Starting in 2027, around 150 researchers will work there on closed material cycles.

From August 21 to 27, 2025, the city of Chemnitz will become the center of an international hydrogen competition for young talents: At the world finals of the Hydrogen Grand Prix, more than 60 student teams from 23 countries will compete with self-developed H2 racing vehicles.

The hydrogen producer Tyczka covers the entire value chain from production through compression and filling, transport and logistics to filling and application technology. At the Hydrogen Technology World Expo, Tyczka focuses on three current projects.

The model of a reactor that produces hydrogen from waste via plasma pyrolysis and a testing methodology for coated pipelines can be seen at the Fraunhofer Performance Center Hydrogen Hessen.

170 companies from the European energy sector have addressed a letter to the EU Commission. They demand that the binding RFNBO targets for hydrogen in transport and industry be maintained beyond 2030. Abolishing them would jeopardize investments of over 15 billion euros.

The Thermo Condens gas condensing boiler from Weishaupt is, in a special version, also approved for operation with pure hydrogen – following a conversion, however.

The hydrogen variant features a new burner surface and combustion control with UV flame monitoring. These are also in use in the H2HoWi...

Sonplas offers explosion-protected thermal chambers for test benches and stand-alone applications. The modular systems are designed for tests with explosive or toxic media such as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, LPG and natural gas.
