WEH FluidTech expands its hydrogen portfolio with new solutions for refueling, infrastructure, and testing processes in the high-pressure sector. Focus: new filling couplings, quick adapters, and filters, valves, and fittings for pressure ranges up to over 1,000 bar.

The adhesive solutions manufacturer tesa and EWE have signed a contract for the supply of 500 tons of green hydrogen annually.

Thyssenkrupp nucera is setting up its first self-operated central assembly centre for electrolysis cells in Vila Nova de Gaia, south of Porto, Portugal. Until now, the cells have been assembled at the customers' sites.

Bürkert Fluid Control Systems presents intelligent fluid solutions necessary for stable processes in electrolyzers, fuel cells, test benches, and the H2 infrastructure.

The model of a reactor that produces hydrogen from waste via plasma pyrolysis and a testing methodology for coated pipelines can be seen at the Fraunhofer Performance Center Hydrogen Hessen.

The eFuel Alliance has presented a position paper that classifies electricity-based fuels as a security-relevant factor for Europe. The association calls for practical production rules, binding sub-quotas, and the crediting of investments towards the NATO spending target.

The planned amendment to the Wind Energy at Sea Act opens the way for combined electricity and hydrogen production at sea for the first time. The AquaVentus initiative welcomes the draft bill but criticizes the restriction to individual areas. According to the initiative's calculations, double-digit billions could be saved.

170 companies from the European energy sector have addressed a letter to the EU Commission. They demand that the binding RFNBO targets for hydrogen in transport and industry be maintained beyond 2030. Abolishing them would jeopardize investments of over 15 billion euros.

Numerous European associations from the energy, hydrogen, and industrial sectors are urging the EU Commission to quickly revise the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1184. The ongoing uncertainty about the production criteria for renewable hydrogen endangers investments along the entire value chain.

Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) has received funding approvals totaling 29.5 million euros for its Green Mobility Depot in Bergisch Gladbach. The project includes a hydrogen refueling station with its own electrolyser. The hydrogen unit is expected to be operational by the end of 2026.

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.

Hyster delivers the United Kingdom's first fuel cell reachstacker to the Port of Tilbury. In port logistics, battery-electric drives reach their limits, as the vehicles are in operation around the clock and must move heavy loads.

The new joint venture Quantron China aims to develop locally emission-free commercial vehicles for the Chinese market—and beyond. Behind it are the business unit Quantron of the Germany-rooted Haller Group, the young Chinese technology company HyperView from the automotive sector, and Foxconn as a manufacturing partner.

The RH2INE initiative has received an initial approval from Lloyd's Register for the standardized design of interchangeable hydrogen containers. This brings a mobile hydrogen infrastructure for emission-free inland shipping along the Rhine corridor closer.

The Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability (LBF) in Darmstadt. The focus of the exchange was on methods for evaluating and monitoring safe hydrogen systems.
