As the European Union and the United Arab Emirates edge closer to finalizing a free trade agreement, green hydrogen has emerged as a pivotal element in these discussions. The EU’s ambitious climate targets, aiming to cut carbon emissions by 55% by 2030, have intensified its pursuit of sustainable energy sources. Green hydrogen, produced through renewable energy sources like solar and wind, is central to achieving these aspirations, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU’s energy matrix. A recent study indicated that the global green hydrogen market could reach $89.18 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of…

As the global hydrogen economy gains momentum, a central question continues to shape the trajectory of investment and deployment: when—and how—can green hydrogen reach cost parity with fossil fuel-derived alternatives? According to Dr. Kevin Cole, Senior Scientist at Verdagy, the answer may lie in Dynamic Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE), a technology designed to operate flexibly in response to variable renewable energy inputs without sacrificing performance or stack longevity.

Energy security is becoming a pivotal concern in the current global landscape, necessitating strategic advancements in storage solutions to enhance resilience and adaptability.

Scotland has made a significant stride in its green hydrogen ambitions with the approval of a 3.5-mile pipeline designed to feed a major production facility.

A striking 30% of hydrogen fuel samples from production plants typically fail to meet ISO 14687 purity standards for impurities like O2 and H2O. This statistic underscores the paramount importance of developing robust online monitoring systems to ensure the quality of hydrogen produced. In an era where clean energy sources are pivotal in transitioning towards a sustainable future, the precision and timeliness in monitoring hydrogen quality become critical. Integrating cutting-edge technology, a hydrogen quality analyzer (HQA) employing gas chromatography coupled with a pulsed discharge helium ionization detector (GC-PDHID) and a dew point transmitter (DPT) offers a promising solution. These technologies…

A significant milestone in drone technology was recently reached as an independently developed hydrogen-powered drone from China completed a 30-hour non-stop flight, a duration surpassing any other such aircraft produced in the nation. This achievement, announced by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), underscores the advancements in sustainable aviation solutions and further positions China as a key player in the drone market. Developed in collaboration between AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Co., Ltd. and Tsinghua University, this 50 kg-class hydrogen drone marks a notable advancement in the integration of flight, control, and propulsion systems specifically designed around the hydrogen cell’s…

Colombia is making headlines with its announcement of a US$45 billion investment into the development of a green hydrogen infrastructure, aiming for tangible progress by 2030. This ambitious commitment arrives as part of the country’s national hydrogen roadmap, reflecting an increasing acknowledgment in Latin America of hydrogen’s potential role in sustainable energy transition. At the core of Colombia’s strategy is the installation of 1 to 3 gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity within the next five years. This endeavor could drive investments between US$2.5 billion and US$5.5 billion while creating an estimated 7,000 to 15,000 new jobs. However, such targets evoke crucial…

In a move that signals Japan’s escalating ambition to decarbonize maritime transport, Nikkiso Co., Ltd. has secured an order from Kawasaki Heavy Industries to supply a pump unit for the world’s first low-speed, two-stroke hydrogen-dual fueled engine ship. Set for delivery in 2026, this unit forms a crucial part of the Marine Hydrogen Fuel Supply System (MHFS), with operational trials expected in 2028. While the milestone appears significant, its true impact hinges on overcoming key technical and economic obstacles that continue to hinder hydrogen’s role in large-scale marine propulsion. The project is backed by Japan’s Green Innovation Fund (GI Fund),…

The global energy sector stands on the brink of transformation as renewable technologies gradually supplant traditional energy sources. A key highlight in this shift is the recent award of a supply contract to JinkoSolar, a prominent photovoltaic technology provider, by ACME Group for Oman’s 487.5MW green hydrogen project. This venture underscores the evolving dynamics of the photovoltaic hydrogen sector and aligns with the broader trend toward decarbonization. Oman, with its high solar irradiation levels—boasting an average of 2,300 sunshine hours annually—presents a strategic location for harnessing solar energy efficiently. In desert landscapes, where temperatures can soar above 50°C, JinkoSolar’s N-type…

The maritime sector’s search for scalable, zero-emission propulsion systems took a step forward with Yanmar Power Technology’s (Yanmar PT) hydrogen fuel cell system receiving Approval in Principle (AiP) from classification society DNV.
