Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s development of the South Korea’s first flat-bottom liquid hydrogen storage tank signals a shift toward rethinking storage design as a lever for scaling the hydrogen economy.
Government-backed hydrogen subsidies are increasingly being structured around production-linked mechanisms rather than upfront capital grants, reflecting a shift in how policy frameworks attempt to de-risk large-scale electrolytic hydrogen projects.
Sunfire has launched HyLink® Alkaline 23, a new outdoor pressurized alkaline electrolyzer system. The 50-megawatt electrolyzer module is designed for the implementation of triple‑digit megawatt projects and reduces total installed costs (TIC) on the customer side by up to 50 percent.
Stegra has secured €1.4 billion in new funding to advance its hydrogen-based steel plant in northern Sweden, underscoring both investor confidence and the scale of financial commitment required to bring low-carbon steel technologies to market.
Research from the University of New South Wales suggests that one of the technology’s most fundamental constraints, internal water accumulation, may be addressed through relatively simple design modifications, with reported performance gains of up to 75 percent.
Green hydrogen projects globally are increasingly constrained not by ambition but by bankability, with early-stage development costs often preventing projects from reaching financial close. The African Development Bank is attempting to address that gap through a new continent-wide program designed to unlock project pipelines before large-scale capital is committed.
The UK’s hydrogen sector has struggled to convert policy ambition into bankable projects, with only a limited number progressing to final investment decision despite successive funding rounds. A 20 MW project in Wales has now crossed that threshold, offering a test case for whether government-backed hydrogen can move into execution.
