Fortescue has effectively sidelined green hydrogen from its near-term agenda, with the company’s latest climate transition plan omitting any reference to developing projects before 2030.

Power to Hydrogen has secured $159,970 in funding from NGIF Accelerator, backed by Shell and FortisBC, to validate its patented anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer technology in the Canadian market.

A team from Chung-Ang University in Seoul and Qingdao University of Science and Technology has unveiled a ruthenium-based nanocatalyst capable of producing hydrogen directly from seawater, addressing one of the critical bottlenecks in sustainable hydrogen generation.

Saudi Arabia’s drive to become a leading exporter of green ammonia advanced with a new agreement between Larsen & Toubro’s renewables business and ACWA Power for the Yanbu Green Ammonia Project.

Namibia’s green hydrogen ambitions are expanding rapidly, but a shortage of qualified workers threatens to stall progress. Government projections anticipate producing between 10 and 15 million tonnes of hydrogen equivalent annually by 2050, with intermediate targets of 1–2 million tonnes by 2030 and 5–7 million tonnes by 2040.

A team of researchers in South Korea has introduced a method that leverages post-consumer polystyrene (EPS, Styrofoam) waste—of which less than one percent is recycled—to produce liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). This approach aims to confront two persistent challenges in the clean-energy transition: the low recycling rate of polystyrene and the difficulties of storing, transporting, and using hydrogen at scale.

The European Union’s commitment of €1.3 billion to Namibia’s clean energy and raw materials strategy has elevated the country’s profile as a prospective hub for green hydrogen and critical minerals.

European companies are entering an unusual phase of the energy transition: while renewable hydrogen production is expanding faster than demand, some buyers are signaling a readiness to pay sharply higher prices for the clean fuel.

At London International Shipping Week, the UK government announced £448 million ($609 million) in public funding for green maritime technologies, part of a £1.1 billion package with private investors.

Jordan has taken another step toward its ambition of becoming a regional hub for clean fuels, signing a memorandum of understanding with China’s UEG Green Hydrogen Development Holding Limited to explore a $1.155 billion green hydrogen project.
