Germany’s ambitious drive to scale green hydrogen is faltering under financial and regulatory pressures, as the largest East German energy supplier, EnviaM, withdraws from the prominent “Green Bridge” project.
With France positioning hydrogen as a linchpin of industrial decarbonization, the Court of Auditors has raised critical concerns: current 2030–2035 hydrogen capacity targets outpace credible deployment timelines, and nearly half of all subsidies have been directed toward road transport—despite limited evidence of mature demand.
The European Commission faces growing pressure to address allegations that it indirectly financed climate lawsuits against German companies. This controversy…
With a projected annual output of 120,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, China’s latest industrial filing in Bayannur signals the country’s deepening commitment to large-scale hydrogen infrastructure despite global headwinds.
As of June 2025, McPhy Energy—the once-prominent French electrolyzer manufacturer—stands on the brink of liquidation, a sobering indicator of the tightening margins, delayed revenue cycles, and capital shortfalls impacting Europe’s hydrogen technology firms.
Hyundai Motor’s all-new NEXO hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), launched on June 10 with a maximum range of 720 km and prices starting at 76.44 million won, arrives at a time when South Korea’s hydrogen vehicle ecosystem is struggling to match infrastructure with ambitions.
Estonia-based Stargate Hydrogen has taken a contrarian path—quietly building a modular, market-driven manufacturing base that now places it among Europe’s most agile electrolyzer producers.
First Hydrogen Corp. is positioning itself at the convergence of two major transformation vectors: clean hydrogen and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). The company has announced a research collaboration with Professor Muhammad Taha Manzoor of the University of Alberta, targeting the design optimization and fuel material development for SMRs—an increasingly strategic energy source amid ballooning power demand from AI data centers.
