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…

Wupsi GmbH has announced a tender titled “Delivery of Hydrogen for Fuel Cell Buses and Establishment of a Simplified Refueling Solution,” published on April 4, 2025.

The City of Leszno has issued a tender titled “Purchase of Electric Buses and Charging Stations” as published on April 7, 2025.

Doosan Fuel Cell and Air Products have recently terminated projects collectively valued at over $1 billion, underscoring the complex interplay of regulatory frameworks and market dynamics influencing the hydrogen economy.​ Doosan Fuel Cell, a prominent South Korean manufacturer, has canceled three hydrogen fuel cell supply contracts totaling approximately $560 million. Among these, a notable 110 MW supply agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Corporation, Kumho Technology, and LS Electric was discontinued due to prolonged delays in securing necessary permits. Doosan attributed this decision to evolving industry conditions, particularly the introduction of the Clean Hydrogen Power Generation Obligation System (CHPS)…
