The Rostock-based system provider Cytok reports an efficiency of over 85 percent for its power-to-gas plants. The technology converts excess electricity into synthetic methane – fully utilizing CO₂ and oxygen in the cycle.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) receives around 157 million euros for the operation of the technology platform for electricity-based fuels in Leuna. The facility is set to test power-to-liquid processes on a semi-industrial scale until 2035.

Hydrogen Europe Research has awarded five young scientists with the Young Scientist Award 2025. The awards were presented during the EU Hydrogen Research and Innovation Days in Brussels.

In the research project H2Rollout, a flat flame burner is being fully converted to hydrogen for the first time in a galvanizing plant. The goal is to develop a transferable solution for low-CO₂ high-temperature processes in industry.

Methanol Reformer delivers the first autonomous "power container" in Europe to the Spanish ferry operator Baleària. It is intended to first produce hydrogen and then electricity from e-methanol for an electric ferry.

Ahead of the World Climate Conference, the EU environment ministers have agreed to weaken the European climate targets. This includes a later introduction of emissions trading ETS2. 

The Federal Audit Office has criticized high costs and financial risks in hydrogen promotion. Industry associations are now taking a stand.

The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the Holst Centre in the Netherlands are jointly working on a new AEM electrolyser stack. The aim is to create a series-ready, cost-efficient, and scalable solution for hydrogen production in Europe.

Quest One and Ryze Power have entered into a partnership to provide green hydrogen. At Quest One’s site in the city of Hamburg, Germany, hydrogen from test processes will in future be introduced to the market via a trailer station operated by Ryze Power.

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.

Hylane has brought the first hydrogen truck equipped with a Bosch fuel cell module into Germany’s road freight transport sector. The 40-ton truck from Iveco is operated by logistics company Schäflein for the Bosch plant in Nuremberg – as part of a rental model.

Thyssenkrupp Uhde has implemented a hydrogen recovery unit for ammonia producer Fertiglobe in the United Arab Emirates. The unit increases production by up to 6 percent while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions.

TÜV Nord highlights underground hydrogen storage as crucial for industrial energy security, urging policymakers to provide clear frameworks and investment incentives to ensure timely development.

Daimler Truck, HHLA and Kawasaki Heavy Industries are developing a green liquid hydrogen supply chain via the Port of Hamburg to enable imports and ensure reliable distribution across Europe.
