Hanwha has decided to incorporate KBR’s ammonia decomposition technology into its domestic hydrogen projects.
As the EU intensifies its push toward decarbonization, the hydrogen sector faces a new layer of regulatory scrutiny—and opportunity. By 2030, 42% of industrial hydrogen use across the bloc must come from renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO), a category that includes green hydrogen. Within this tightening framework, Nobian’s recent acquisition of ISCC EU certification for its green hydrogen signals both regulatory readiness and strategic positioning within a fast-evolving market. The certification, issued by independent verifier Normec QS, confirms that Nobian’s hydrogen meets the EU’s stringent RFNBO criteria: produced using renewable electricity, demonstrating full traceability, and emitting substantially lower lifecycle…
Lhyfe has secured a substantial €149 million subsidy from the French government for its Green Horizon project. Announced on April 18, 2025, this deal marks the cornerstone of France’s National Hydrogen Strategy, seeking to position Normandy at the forefront of the decarbonization movement within Europe’s pivotal industrial corridors. The project, a centerpiece of the European Commission’s Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) framework, is set to achieve a notable milestone: the deployment of over 100 MW in installed electrolysis capacity. Located near the Grand Canal du Havre, this ambitious site is projected to churn out 34 tonnes of green…
The methanation plant in Harjavalta has officially commenced eMethane production, marking Finland’s first industrial-scale step into synthetic methane. This milestone arrives as European nations recalibrate their energy strategies around security, decentralization, and decarbonization — and it places Finland at a potential inflection point in the evolving hydrogen value chain. From Green Hydrogen to Grid-Ready Fuel: The Role of eMethane At the core of the Harjavalta project is the synthesis of methane from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide using microbial methanation, a process led by Q Power in collaboration with P2X Solutions. This approach is gaining traction as a solution for…
The distribution of hydrogen production capacity showcases significant geographic concentration. Notably, six of the ten leading companies in green or blue hydrogen capacity installations are rooted in China. With 65% of the global clean hydrogen capacity installations in 2024 attributed to China, the country solidifies its leadership position in the hydrogen economy. This highlights the country’s strategic investment in alternative energy solutions and technological developments. The landscape also features participation from companies in other regions, with one each from the United States, South Korea, Germany, and Hungary. This diverse but uneven distribution underscores a global acknowledgment of hydrogen’s potential while…
With global energy demands surging, the unveiling of Cummins’ new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the UAE at a recent Dubai event signifies a pivotal moment for both the company and the region.
ArcelorMittal, a leading figure in the industry, has taken a critical stance on the economic viability of integrating green hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies by 2030.
HPQ Silicon, together with its French subsidiary NOVACIUM SAS and Malaysian aluminium recycler GLD Alloys, has formalized a strategic partnership to accelerate the commercialization of green hydrogen production.
Oracle Power has confirmed a two-year extension of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Electric Power and Technology (CET) — a wholly owned subsidiary of the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), the world’s largest utility company by revenue.
