Fortescue Metals, led by Andrew Forrest, has manually produced its first “home-grown” hydrogen electrolysers at its Gladstone “gigafactory.” These 1MW PEM electrolysers, to be automated soon, mark a pivotal development for Fortescue’s participation in the Australian federal government’s $2 billion Hydrogen Head-start program.

Scotland's Hydrogen Revolution

Scotland is on the brink of a hydrogen revolution, and the world is watching closely as the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association gathers in Aberdeen this week. With significant support from the Scottish Government, including a £90 million Green Hydrogen fund, the hydrogen industry in Scotland is set to flourish, bringing with it not only cleaner energy but also substantial economic opportunities.

Pennsylvania's Clean Hydrogen Ambitions: Progress, Questions, and Concerns

As the world grapples with the urgent need to combat climate change, Pennsylvania is at the forefront of the clean energy revolution, aiming to cut carbon pollution and embrace hydrogen as a key solution. The Biden administration’s pledge to invest $1.6 billion in hydrogen hubs partly located in the state has sparked both optimism and uncertainty. While clean hydrogen offers promise, the details of its production and impact remain shrouded in secrecy.

China's Ambitious Push for Hydrogen Energy

China, the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a key player in the quest for carbon neutrality. To achieve its ambitious goals, the country is harnessing its vast resources and technology to revolutionize its energy sector. One of the central pillars of this campaign is the development of the hydrogen energy industry, a promising clean fuel source with the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions, particularly in sectors that are challenging to electrify.

Shell's Pivot: Job Cuts and the Uncertain Future of Hydrogen

Shell, one of the world’s largest energy companies, is set to cut 200 jobs as part of its cost-saving strategy, a move that signals a significant downsizing in its hydrogen division. This decision, announced by Chief Executive Wael Sawan, aims to reduce costs by up to $3 billion (£2.5 billion) across the company by the end of 2025.

America's Energy Transition Race: Beating China to the Finish Line
