India and the European Union have launched two coordinated research and innovation calls worth ₹391 crore (€41 million) to tackle marine pollution and scale up waste-to-hydrogen technologies—two of the most urgent environmental and energy challenges confronting both economies.
On Sunday, Hydrom—Oman’s state-owned hydrogen orchestrator—finalized Project Development and Usufruct Agreements with India’s ACME Group, officially integrating Phases 2 and 3 of the Duqm-based hydrogen and ammonia project into the country’s centralized green hydrogen framework.
While most developers rely on simplified spreadsheets or generic LCOH calculators, Verdigy is betting on a more granular, system-integrated approach. At a recent Energy News webinar, Dr. Karen Das, simulation software lead at Verdigy, presented Energize, the company’s digital twin platform designed to simulate green hydrogen ecosystems with high fidelity and operational realism.
The recently concluded IPOSH (Innovative Process Design for Offshore Hydrogen) project—led by H2sea, Bosch Thin Metal Technologies, and TNO—claims to have achieved a 10–20% reduction in the Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). While the figure is significant, the implications rest heavily on whether the novel system integration approach can translate into real-world commercial deployments.
Green hydrogen electrolysis at industrial scale remains an unfulfilled promise across much of Europe—but in Groningen, the Netherlands, a key facility has now produced its first hydrogen under elevated pressure and temperature, marking a milestone in real-world electrolysis testing.
Italy’s first industrial application of green hydrogen blending is set to begin this September, when food giant Granarolo starts receiving a supply of gas mixed with up to 20% green hydrogen.
General Motors has suspended plans to build its $55 million hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing facility in Detroit, Michigan.
With global interest in natural (white) hydrogen gaining momentum, HyTerra is pushing forward with a 12-month exploration campaign in Kansas—one of the few active U.S. hydrogen plays—despite ongoing uncertainty around well testing standards and subsurface behavior.
ACWA Power, the Saudi energy transition and desalination giant, has signed $500 million worth of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading American companies, reinforcing its strategic alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and deepening its role in global decarbonization efforts.
McPhy Energy, once a prominent name in the European electrolyser market, is moving towards a court-supervised asset sale followed by judicial liquidation, after failing to attract a solvent investor or acquirer.
