With battery electric vehicles (BEVs) dominating headlines, BMW’s decision to pursue hydrogen fuel cell technology suggests a significant bet on diversification, targeting an expected €12 billion global hydrogen vehicle market by 2030, according to Precedence Research. Yet, the company’s strategy acknowledges the sector’s persistent technical and infrastructural hurdles rather than masking them. BMW’s iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet, developed in partnership with Toyota since 2013, is more than a technical exercise. According to Jürgen Guldner, Head of Hydrogen Technology at BMW, the pilot aims to “run through the entire development of a fuel cell vehicle,” covering not only fuel cell integration…

A mid-double-digit million euro framework agreement signals Rheinmetall’s serious entry into the hydrogen logistics sector, as the company announces a letter of intent from a leading European green hydrogen producer for its advanced Multiple-Element Gas Containers (MEGCs). The order, covering 100 modular units, is scheduled for delivery starting in early 2026 and underscores intensifying momentum around scalable hydrogen transport infrastructure as Germany accelerates toward climate neutrality by 2045. This move comes amid a broader supply chain challenge in the hydrogen sector: transporting large quantities of compressed hydrogen efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively. The German National Hydrogen Strategy projects that hydrogen demand…
In a decisive pivot towards domestic energy security and climate resilience, the Netherlands has unveiled a €2.1 billion hydrogen-focused investment plan—part of a broader €8 billion climate package announced by Climate and Green Growth Minister Sophie Hermans. With an eye on both short-term energy autonomy and long-term emissions reductions, the policy mix blends hydrogen market stimulation, green gas mandates, and unyielding carbon pricing. But whether the strategy offers systemic coherence or policy patchwork remains contested. Hydrogen: Incentivizing Demand Amid Infrastructure Gaps At the core of the package is a dual-track strategy to ramp up hydrogen supply and demand. Over €600…
At a time when North America’s heavy-duty trucking sector is under pressure to decarbonize, Hyundai Motor Company is positioning itself not just as a vehicle manufacturer but as a full-scale hydrogen infrastructure player. The automaker’s unveiling of its new Xcient Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck and the HTWO Energy platform at ACT Expo 2025 reflects a deliberate pivot toward integrated hydrogen logistics in the U.S. market that merges hardware innovation with infrastructure scalability. Trucking’s Decarbonization Dilemma: A Market in Flux Heavy-duty vehicles account for nearly 25% of greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in the U.S., despite comprising only 5% of…
Oman has emerged as a potential vanguard in green hydrogen production, leveraging both its strategic geographic positioning and abundant solar and wind resources.
The geographic dispersion of renewable energy installations often leads to challenges in integrating hydrogen production facilities with existing energy grids. Notably, the current lack of a robust hydrogen market framework escalates operational risks and discourages investment from private and international stakeholders. Moreover, China’s focus on solar and wind energy—key inputs for green hydrogen—necessitates strategic investment in grid infrastructure to accommodate fluctuations in renewable power supply. Without such adjustments, overcapacity issues could arise, potentially undermining the economic benefits of transitioning to hydrogen-based systems. A data-backed analysis indicates that integrating high levels of renewable energy into the national grid requires up to…
The global green hydrogen market is evolving at an unprecedented pace, catalyzed by ambitious targets set by countries and corporations alike.
In a move that exemplifies Emirates SkyCargo’s commitment to sustainable logistics, the Dubai-based air freight operator is set to integrate hydrogen-powered trucks into its ground fleet by early 2026.
The recent selection of Hyliko by MT Aerospace to supply hydrogen trucks for operations at French Guiana’s Space Center marks a critical shift towards sustainable logistics in space exploration.
The automotive sector, in its race to combat climate change, juggles between electric and alternative energy technologies. Toyota, recognized for its investment in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, finds itself under scrutiny.
