Green Hydrogen
Renewable energy-produced hydrogen
John Cockerill Hydrogen has raised €116 million in new funding, with contributions from Belgium’s SFPIM, Wallonie Entreprendre, and Fluxys, to expand its hydrogen electrolyzer production.
Denmark's Energy Agency has extended the operational license of the Samso offshore wind farm by 10 years, ensuring continued clean energy production for 20,000–25,000 homes. This pioneering move aligns with broader efforts to maximize aging wind infrastructure. Meanwhile, Hubject and Tritium have partnered to deploy Plug&Charge technology globally, simplifying EV charging by eliminating the need for apps or RFID cards. In Brazil, 2C Energia launched its first 2.7 MW solar park, part of a 400 MW pipeline, while CGN Brazil Energy commissioned the 165 MW Lagoinha Solar Complex, contributing to Brazil's renewable energy transition and green hydrogen ambitions.
India's Transport Ministry has proposed distinct green-blue number plates for hydrogen fuel vehicles to promote cleaner transportation.
Several large green and blue hydrogen projects in British Columbia have been paused or withdrawn due to economic and power supply challenges.
Researchers have developed a semi-crystalline ruthenium catalyst that significantly enhances hydrogen production efficiency in hybrid alkaline seawater electrolysis.
The European Commission may revise its green hydrogen regulations following interim findings from a new study, signaling potential policy flexibility.
Spain has allocated EUR 296 million to support 42 renewable energy technology manufacturing projects under its Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) program.
A research team at UNIST has developed a modular artificial leaf achieving 11.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency, surpassing the 10% commercial viability threshold.
Oman is studying the feasibility of using its existing natural gas pipeline network to transport hydrogen, supporting its goal of producing 8.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2050.
Researchers at UC Chile have developed an activated carbon-based system for storing green hydrogen, making it feasible for residential applications.
