ABO Energy has commissioned its first hydrogen project in Hünfeld-Michelsrombach. The plant combines wind power, a 5 MW electrolysis plant and a hydrogen filling station. It is expected to produce up to 450 tons of certified green hydrogen per year.

Ecoclean and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are expanding their collaboration. The aim is the economical series production of electrolysis stacks for high-efficiency alkaline pressure electrolysis.

Hylane, the Cologne-based rental company for zero-emission commercial vehicles, has founded a subsidiary in the Netherlands. Hylane offers battery and hydrogen-powered trucks there via a usage-based rental model. The expansion is supported by the Dutch subsidy program SWiM.

At the meeting of energy ministers in Luxembourg, the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) proposed a European hydrogen alliance. The aim is to strengthen security of supply and expand strategic partnerships with importing countries.

Kumho Mitsui Chemicals (KMCI) has commissioned a new chlor-alkali plant with electrolyzers from thyssenkrupp Nucera in Yeosu, South Korea. The plant uses e-BiTAC v7 technology and enables the recovery of thin brine from MDI production.

At the beginning of May, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron appeared so united in their positions that French media dubbed them "Merzcron." Industry associations from the energy sector believe this renewed Franco-German alignment should be leveraged.

The HyDresden initiative is calling for electrolysis and green hydrogen to be anchored as eligible infrastructure projects within the planned €500 billion special fund. Linde Engineering, Sunfire, and the Fraunhofer IKTS aim to establish Dresden as an international hydrogen hub and to expand domestic value creation.

A research consortium led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has launched an atlas for green hydrogen production in Germany. This online tool identifies suitable sites for electrolyzers, taking into account factors such as industrial demand, availability of renewable energy, and the utilization of by-products.

Intercontinental Energy, a global developer of large-scale green hydrogen projects, has unveiled a patented system called P2(H2)Node. Developed in Australia, the technology aims to reduce the production costs of green hydrogen by 10 to 20 percent, thereby accelerating the widespread adoption of this energy carrier.

The Swiss company Infener wants to promote hydrogen throughout Europe. Decentralized H₂ hubs will be used to generate green electricity as well as green heat. The Ecore One is a compact containerized solution that combines various energy technologies in one unit: electrolyzer, fuel cell and battery as well as compressor and a heat pump with its own energy management system or EMS. H₂ production is due to start 2027 at a site in the Black Forest, Germany. However, the needs of regional industry are already far greater today.

Green hydrogen is an important building block of the energy transition. With its help, regenerative energy can be stored and used as needed in a wide variety of sectors. But how will the generation, storage, distribution and use of hydrogen come together? An answer to this question is the goal of the project H₂VL of the regional district (Landkreis) Havelland: Various local players along the entire hydrogen value chain are being identified, networked and supported in the implementation of their projects – from production through distribution to use. For this, Havelland is being supported by the German transport ministry, through the hydrogen and fuel cell innovation support program NIP2, with nearly 400,000 euros as one of the 15 winners of the title HyExpert Region.

Four companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Global Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam to establish a hydrogen corridor for truck transport across Europe.

Daimler Buses will deliver ten fuel cell buses featuring a new, pure hydrogen drive mode to SSB Stuttgart. These vehicles are part of a strategy aimed at integrating various alternative drive systems within the fleet.

With the procurement of ten fuel cell buses, SSB concludes the trial phase of...

The regional energy supplier badenova has begun construction of a hydrogen pipeline in the Upper Rhine region. Through its subsidiary badenovaNetze, the Badenova group is among the first companies to actively contribute to the development of Germany's national hydrogen core network.

Hydrogenious LOHC has received official approval to build and operate what it claims to be the world's largest commercial hydrogen storage facility using the liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) benzyltoluene.
