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)…

The hydrogen economy has been gaining significant attention in recent years, with many experts and industry leaders touting it as a game-changer in the transition to a low-carbon economy with many others questioning its value and criticizing the hydrogen industry for overpromising and underdelivering on its potential; citing some projects for failing to meet expectations. However, the question remains: is hydrogen a hype, a hope, or a slow burner? Introduction Hydrogen is the topic of the day. The much heralded global ‘Hydrogen Revolution’has prompted many politicians from across the world to follow the hydrogenbandwagon and to follow suit without questioning…

Luxembourg’s Procurement & Logistics organization has released a significant tender for the ELU_2025_001 EPC project, which involves creating a 5 megawatt hydrogen production unit known as LuxHyVal.

The French Ministry for the Energy Transition has authorized two exclusive research permits (PER) for natural hydrogen exploration, marking a notable shift in the country’s approach to low-carbon energy resources. The permits, granted to Storengy and 45-8 ENERGY, cover 266 km² in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Landes department. While the formal decrees were published on March 29, 2025, the groundwork for these projects—dubbed “Grand Rieu” and “Marensin”—began years earlier through preliminary research and regional scientific collaboration. Data-Driven Approach to Exploration The research permits to build on findings from the H2NA project (2021-2022), which was co-funded by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Storengy…
