Power to Hydrogen has announced a strategic investment from ALIAD, the venture capital arm of Air Liquide, as part of its Series A second close. This investment will support the company’s efforts to scale up its Hybrid Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysis technology and accelerate the deployment of commercial electrolysis systems. Air Liquide, a leader across the entire hydrogen value chain, is focused on advancing clean hydrogen solutions. The investment aligns with its broader strategy to support emerging technologies that enhance hydrogen production, storage, and distribution. Paul Matter, CEO of Power to Hydrogen, stated, “This support from Air Liquide’s venture…

Energinet Systemansvar A/S published a significant tender titled “Supplier Qualification System for EPCM Consultant for the Danish Hydrogen Backbone” on March 19, 2025. The submission deadline for this tender is yet to be specified. This tender is crucial for developing Denmark’s hydrogen industry and connecting it to the broader European hydrogen market. It is a call for experts to construct part of the necessary infrastructure to produce hydrogen sustainably using renewable resources like wind and solar. The main objective of this tender is to develop a portion of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone (DHB), a large-scale infrastructure project designed to transport…

Alliander N.V. has issued a significant tender titled “Wide Range Couplings,” published on March 18, 2025.

Municipiul Sibiu has announced a tender titled “Achiziție autobuze electrice de 10 metri, stații de încărcare lente și stații de încărcare rapidă”, published on March 18, 2025.

Germany’s chemical industry took a significant step toward decarbonization as BASF launched operations of the country’s largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at its Ludwigshafen site. The 54-megawatt facility can produce up to one metric ton of zero-carbon hydrogen hourly, potentially reducing the site’s greenhouse gas emissions by 72,000 metric tons annually. The €149.3 million project—funded through a public-private partnership with €124.3 million from government sources and €25 million from BASF—represents a critical test case for integrating hydrogen production directly into existing chemical manufacturing infrastructure. The project’s implementation demonstrates the practical challenges of scaling green hydrogen within Europe’s largest chemical…

On March 12, 2025, Miasto Leszno released a notable tender titled “Zakup 7 szt. autobusów elektrycznych wraz z 4 szt. podwójnych ładowarek.”

The Serviciul de Telecomunicații Speciale in Romania has issued a tender titled “Acord-cadru de furnizare ACUMULATORI STATIONARI PENTRU STATII DE ENERGIE 48Vcc”.

The push for truly net-zero hydrogen fuels has intensified with the announcement of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and Purus Marine. The agreement, disclosed on 11 March 2025, aims to integrate low-carbon shipping into CIC’s renewable hydrogen supply, ensuring that transport emissions are fully accounted for—a critical gap in current hydrogen certification frameworks. CIC’s approach hinges on modular hydrogen production, with two 10GW projects underway in Australia to meet growing demand in the Asia-Pacific and Europe. By leveraging Purus Marine’s low-carbon shipping solutions, the partnership seeks to deliver renewable hydrogen at net-zero emissions when including…

SAMSUNG E&A’s acquisition of a 9.1% stake in Norway’s Nel ASA for approximately USD 33 million marks a calculated shift toward dominating the green hydrogen market amid intensifying global decarbonization efforts. With this move, executed on 11 March 2025 and formalized at a high-profile ceremony in Houston, industry leaders signal a commitment to merging financial acumen with technological prowess. At the Houston event, top executives—including Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A, and Håkon Volldal, CEO of Nel ASA—outlined the strategic rationale behind the partnership. Nel ASA, a company with a storied history dating back to 1927, has established…

In the Pyrenees, a single tectonic system may generate enough hydrogen annually to power a city of 500,000—a figure extrapolated from peer-reviewed models simulating mantle rock hydration. This process, termed serpentinization, occurs when water infiltrates iron-rich mantle rocks that have been pushed upwards to depths of 7-15 kilometers, producing hydrogen gas. However, less than 0.1% of global hydrogen investment targets natural deposits, despite projections by Rystad Energy suggesting recoverable reserves could offset 10% of current synthetic hydrogen production costs by 2035.
