Europe’s ambition to import 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030 hinges on more than just production capacity—it depends on overcoming logistical and infrastructure bottlenecks. A recent development by Höegh Evi and Wärtsilä Gas Solutions addresses a central hurdle: how to cost-effectively transport and convert hydrogen at scale. Their new floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker, capable of producing up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, positions itself as a flexible, modular solution to decouple Europe’s energy strategy from grid constraints and port-side limitations. Announced in 2023 and supported by €5.9 million from Norway’s Green Platform programme, the project taps…

In the world of hydrogen innovation, it’s often the massive, government-backed mega-projects that grab headlines. But sometimes, the most transformative ideas come from small, nimble teams willing to rethink the fundamentals. One such company is XINTC, a Dutch startup led by Wilko van Kampen. With a bold vision to build the most affordable modular electrolyzer in the world, XINTC is taking a radically different approach—one that could redefine how and where green hydrogen is produced. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW Instead of improving on legacy technology, Wilko and his team started with a blank slate. They questioned every assumption baked into…

The hydrogen industry is no stranger to bold claims, but few back them with daily proof. In a recent conversation, Resato Hydrogen Technology’s CEO, Rob Castien, pulled no punches. From sub-five-minute refueling to high-pressure innovation and brutal truths about industry inertia, his words painted a clear picture: the future of hydrogen is here, but only for those who can handle the pressure. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW “The energy transition will happen exponentially… like the internet,” Castien says. “If you’re not in the race, you’re already out.” That urgency is central to Resato’s strategy. With compression technology that hits 10,000 bar,…

Electricity accounts for just 20% of global energy consumption, yet dominates decarbonization debates. The remaining 80%—industrial heat, heavy transport, and seasonal energy storage—demands solutions beyond electrification. Dutch energy strategist Ad van Wijk, a pivotal figure in hydrogen innovation, argues that hydrogen, often mischaracterized as a mere byproduct of renewables, is emerging as a critical vector for bridging this gap. We spoke to Ad at a Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Training in Zagreb. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE Myth-Busting: Hydrogen as a Standalone Energy Carrier A persistent misconception, van Wijk notes, is framing hydrogen solely as an electricity derivative. While electrolysis…

Agencja Rozwoju Pomorza S.A. has issued a tender titled “Usługa zaprojektowania i wykonania zabudowy stoiska wystawienniczego,” focusing on designing and constructing an exhibition stand for the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The hydrogen passenger vehicle market is poised at an inflection point—a juncture where technological prowess is advancing at breakneck speed, yet market fundamentals lag. At the recent 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, Hyundai Motor Company unveiled its revamped ‘NEXO,’ a testament to 27 years of hydrogen R&D that can reportedly drive over 700 kilometers in just 5 minutes of refueling. This staggering performance metric underscores not only the promise of fuel cell technology but also the resolute vision of industry leaders, even if the vehicles have yet to achieve widespread commercial success. Hyundai’s unwavering focus on hydrogen extends well beyond immediate…

In a decisive realignment of its asset portfolio, SK Corporation is weighing the sale of its SK Siltron subsidiary—valued at approximately 5 trillion won (around $3.85 billion)—as part of a broader effort to shore up cash flow amid underperforming hydrogen and semiconductor investments. This move comes on the heels of last month’s exit from SK Specialty, which fetched roughly 2.63 trillion won (about $2.02 billion), and reflects a calculated response to persistent fiscal challenges. Strategic Divestitures in a Tumultuous Market SK Siltron, acquired from LG in 2017, specializes in manufacturing semiconductor and power semiconductor wafers. Despite posting sales of 2.1268…

The Presidencia de la Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares has issued a tender titled “Supply of Hydrogen for Fuel Cell Located in the Western Docks of the Port of Palma”. The tender was published on April 11, 2025, with a submission deadline of May 19, 2025. This initiative is significant for the hydrogen industry as it involves the supply of gaseous hydrogen to a fuel cell installed at a strategic maritime location, enhancing sustainable practices within the port of Palma, Mallorca. The primary objective of this tender is to secure a reliable supplier for gaseous hydrogen, which will be used in…

On April 9, 2025, Verkehrsbetrieb Hamm GmbH announced a tender titled “Betankung mit Wasserstoff an einer Tankstelle” for the refueling of hydrogen buses in Hamm, Germany.

Aviation’s climate impact, often underestimated at 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions, surges to 10% or higher when non-CO₂ effects like contrails and nitrogen oxides are factored in. As sectors such as road transport electrify, aviation’s emissions footprint risks becoming a glaring outlier. Hydrogen-powered flight has emerged as a contender to address this gap, but its path to scalability is fraught with thermodynamic, infrastructural, and economic challenges. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW The Battery Barrier and Hydrogen’s Narrow Window Single-aisle aircraft, responsible for 66% of aviation’s CO₂ emissions, operate primarily on short- to medium-haul routes under 2,000 km. While batteries are often…
