Chantiers de l'Atlantique has completed two offshore substations for the North Sea Cluster A. The platforms are scheduled to be transported to the construction site in the German North Sea by the end of February. The project by RWE and Norges Bank Investment Management is expected to go online in 2027.

Researchers at the DLR have compared six different air supply systems for fuel cells in aircraft. The results show: With optimized compressor-turbine combinations, the total mass of the fuel cell system and tank can be reduced by up to 8.1 percent.

Thyssenkrupp Nucera reports a 44 percent revenue decline to 147 million euros in the first quarter of 2025/2026. At the same time, the electrolysis specialist announces the largest chlor-alkali order for a new construction project in the company's history and confirms the forecast for 2025/26.

The Karlsruhe-based company Ineratec is collaborating with a Chilean consortium on a potential Power-to-Liquids (PtL) plant in the Biobío region. Ineratec has provided a basic engineering study for this purpose. The project aims to process biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen into e-fuels.

According to its own statements, the Wiesbaden-based company Hyting has commissioned the world's first catalytic hydrogen-air heater at a customer's site. The 10 kW system heats a production hall of the pump manufacturer Flusys in Offenbach.

At the North Sea Summit in Hamburg BDEW and AquaVentus are calling for stronger European cooperation in offshore wind expansion—and for the systematic integration of offshore electrolysis into national and regional planning. Studies show that lower spatial density, cross-border area cooperation and combined infrastructure solutions can significantly reduce costs and increase efficiency.

A new study in the context of a German innovation testbed shows: The market ramp-up of green hydrogen is hindered by a complex cycle of obstacles including regulation, lack of economic viability, and infrastructure problems. The analysis is based on discussions at an event called„NRL Transformation Labs“.

As part of the German-Chilean Power-to-MEDME R&D project, researchers at Fraunhofer IAP have developed new PEM electrolyzer catalysts with significantly reduced iridium content. The innovation aims to lower costs and enable scalable hydrogen production—without compromising performance.


Two 100 MW plants are to supply green hydrogen for Repsol refineries in Cartagena and Muskiz from 2029. Sunfire relies on its pressurised alkaline technology.

The municipality of Bosbüll in North Frisia is expanding its district heating network. In the future, process heat from local hydrogen production will also be fed into the system. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2025.

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.

Phinia is showcasing new technologies for hydrogen combustion engines at Hyvolution 2026 in Paris. Among other things, an H2 conversion of a diesel engine and complete vehicle conversions for light commercial vehicles will be displayed.

Finland is massively expanding its CO₂-neutral power generation to lay the foundation for up to 100 e-fuel plants. Low electricity prices, biogenic CO₂, and clear political guidelines make the country increasingly attractive for the hydrogen economy.

The module manufacturer Longi is entering the storage sector with its own all-in-one solution. The company aims to position itself as an integrated provider of solar, storage and hydrogen solutions. Longi’s newly presented strategy highlights its key priorities.

Gascade has converted around 400 kilometres of existing natural gas pipelines to hydrogen. The new north-south axis is part of the project "Flow – making hydrogen happen" and forms a central section of Germany's hydrogen core network.
