HH2E AG, a Hamburg-based newcomer, is making waves with its ambitious plan to invest approximately US$2 billion in establishing two cutting-edge green hydrogen facilities.

PLAGEN, under the leadership of CEO John Kyung, has embarked on a transformative clean methanol production project in collaboration with Indonesia’s BFI. This venture not only signifies a significant step for PLAGEN but also holds the promise of shaping the green methanol market in Asia.

The REVIVE (Refuse Vehicle Innovation and Validation in Europe) project, backed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, and the HECTOR project, co-financed by Interreg Northwest Europe, started operations for two fuel cell refuse trucks in Groningen, the Netherlands.

H2SITE, a Spanish hydrogen transport solutions provider, has made a significant breakthrough in maritime decarbonization by successfully commissioning the world’s first on-board ammonia cracking system. This system generates high-purity hydrogen coupled with a PEM fuel cell, providing clean energy for the ship’s auxiliary consumptions.

Hitachi Energy, in collaboration with PowerCell Group, introduces the HyFlex™ Hydrogen Power Generator in Gothenburg, Sweden. This innovative solution is designed for locations where conventional power sources are impractical, offering an emission-free alternative with a range of applications.

As the world gears up for COP28, the upcoming UN climate summit, Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) issues a stark warning: “Hydrogen is big polluters’ latest trick, and we can’t afford to fall for it.” In a paper titled “Don’t Fall for the Hydrogen Hype,” FOEI challenges the perception of hydrogen as a clean alternative and calls for a just energy transition.

Statkraft has conducted a comprehensive feasibility study on hydrogen projects, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities in achieving sustainable hydrogen production. Focusing on Europe, the study addresses regulatory complexities, technological considerations, and the pivotal role of intermediaries in the evolving landscape of green hydrogen.

Saudi Arabia presents first hydrogen truck The first hydrogen truck was introduced in Saudi Arabia by the Transport General Authority (TGA) in association with Almajdouie Logistics. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 aims to provide an environment free of carbon emissions, and TGA is committed to reaching these goals. To that end, the first-ever hydrogen truck has been launched on an experimental basis. According to TGA, the vehicle is built and outfitted to carry cargo in compliance with safety regulations, and it can go over 400 kilometers. The truck also has the capability to carry up to 35 kg of hydrogen fuel…

GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business and Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. have joined forces, signing a memorandum of understanding to integrate Next Hydrogen’s cutting-edge electrolysis technology with GE Vernova’s power systems offerings.

BP’s renewable hydrogen project in Kwinana, Western Australia, has officially entered the front-end engineering and design stage, with production expected to commence in 2026. The H2Kwinana project, a collaborative effort with Macquarie Capital, aims to leverage a 100-MW electrolyzer, with plans for expansion to an impressive 1.5 GW in subsequent phases.
