Haskel, Protium, and Nel Hydrogen have partnered to collaborate on Project HEART to enable the acceleration of hydrogen-powered aircraft at UK airports.

ABB has been contracted by Danish company H2 Energy Esbjerg ApS to provide basic electrical engineering for its 1 GW hydrogen production facility in Esbjerg, Denmark. The plant is expected to produce up to 90,000 tons of hydrogen per year, making it the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe.

MissionH24, a project to develop and race a hydrogen-powered car at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has unveiled its new prototype. The car builds on the previous technological advancements from the H24 and LMPH2G prototypes, and is receiving support from the ACO’s project partners TotalEnergies, Michelin, Symbio, Plastic Omnium, Richard Mille, Dietsmann and Essilor.

Trafigura Group has agreed to increase its shareholding in H2 Energy Europe to become majority owners. This move comes as the company ramps up its development plans for large-scale green hydrogen production projects and mid- and downstream hydrogen supply and distribution infrastructure in Europe.

Bosch’s plant at České Budějovice, one of the German company’s largest research and development centers in Europe, is undergoing a major transformation to focus on green hydrogen and fuel cell technology.

thyssenkrupp nucera and Neste are collaborating on a project to incorporate a 120 megawatt (MW) water electrolyzer into Neste’s Porvoo refinery in Finland.

The Basque Country has began to produce renewable hydrogen thanks to a 2.5 MW electrolyzer located at Petronor that supplies the Energy Intelligence Center, as well as the company’s new offices, in the Ezkerraldea-Meatzaldea Technology Park, in Abanto Zierbena (Bizkaia).

The UK government has invested £89 million (US$109 million) in 20 net zero tech projects, including hydrogen-powered off-road vehicles, a new lithium scale-up plant, and revolutionary new EV battery systems.

Hydrogen, often hailed as the future of clean energy, has taken a significant step closer to widespread adoption with a groundbreaking solar cell innovation. Researchers at the University of Tübingen have unveiled a new type of solar cell that boasts remarkable efficiency, promising decentralized and cost-effective green hydrogen production on an industrial scale.

The European Union has introduced a new Renewable Energy Directive that includes a mandate for industry to procure 42% of its hydrogen from renewable fuels by 2030, rising to 60% by 2035. This is a significant opportunity for Australian exporters of green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
