A claim that building 1 gigawatt-hour of utility-scale battery storage consumes roughly 450 gigawatt-hours of energy before it delivers a…

Stricter carbon accounting for electrolytic hydrogen does not necessarily undermine project economics, but it also does not ensure that subsidized hydrogen is genuinely low carbon, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Mannheim.

Smoltek Hydrogen and Heraeus Precious Metals are preparing a 3,000 hour durability test of a porous transport electrode designed to operate with less than 0.1 mg of iridium per square centimeter.

A market projected to grow nearly ninefold in a decade, from $1.01 billion this year to $8.81 billion by 2036…

China’s investment in the hydrogen sector increased by more than 160% year over year during the first half of 2026, reinforcing Beijing’s strategy of building a large domestic hydrogen economy centered on industrial decarbonization and energy security rather than relying solely on equipment exports.

Spain’s industrial decarbonization strategy gained another financial boost after Hydnum Steel secured a €150 million investment commitment from the Co-investment Fund (FOCO), strengthening funding for what is planned to become the Iberian Peninsula’s first fossil fuel free steel plant.

Germany’s strategy to build an industrial scale hydrogen economy has reached another operational milestone as the first volumes of green hydrogen have been produced during commissioning at RWE’s 300 MW electrolyzer project in Lingen.

South Africa’s hydrogen strategy increasingly extends beyond exporting green hydrogen toward developing domestic technology and manufacturing capabilities. The commissioning of a 2 kilowatt proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at Sasol’s Research and Technology campus in Sasolburg represents a research focused step in that direction, providing a platform to evaluate locally developed hydrogen production technology under real operating conditions while supporting skills development and industrial collaboration.

The PosHYdon pilot project has successfully produced green hydrogen on the operational Q13a-A platform off the Dutch coast, marking the first demonstration of hydrogen production integrated with offshore wind power and active natural gas production on a working offshore installation.

The United Kingdom’s hydrogen strategy is increasingly shifting from policy commitments toward industrial deployment, with a £50 million green hydrogen production facility scheduled to begin construction later this year at Milford Haven in southwest Wales.
