In Finland, Fortum has succeeded in producing first hydrogen at Kalla Test Center in Loviisa, Finland, during the first phases of the commissioning of the electrolyzer equipment. The test center is expected to be fully operational during spring 2026. Fortum is committed to accelerating electrification across the Nordics, and the Kalla Test Center will contribute […]
In the Netherlands, the Port of Rotterdam wants to accelerate the import of hydrogen and hydrogen carriers such as ammonia, methanol, and LOHCs (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers) and is therefore launching a market consultation. Although various companies are making plans, investment decisions largely remain pending. This is slowing down the energy transition. After all, hydrogen […]
In the UK, Aston University has opened the Wolfson Centre for Low Carbon Hydrogen, a new state-of-the-art facility dedicated to exploring hydrogen production from biomass conversion. The centre houses a pilot plant consisting of three core facilities – a high-pressure gasifier that converts biomass into a hydrogen-containing gas mixture, a palladium membrane reactor for separating […]
In South Korea, among hydrogen production methods, alkaline water electrolysis is efficient and environmentally friendly; however, its dependence on freshwater limits large-scale implementation. Seawater electrolysis offers a practical alternative by tapping Earth’s abundant water resources, but high chloride concentrations accelerate catalyst corrosion and reduce efficiency, posing significant challenges for sustainable hydrogen generation. To address this, […]
In the UK, Oils & Fats International reported that a research team at Aston University, UK,have developed a process to produce renewable hydrogen and propane from glycerol. Glycerol or glycerine is produced mainly from fats and oils via hydrolysis in traditional soap-making, or transesterification for biodiesel production, and is often used in health and beauty […]
In the UK, on September 17, the International Chamber of Shipping’s Maritime Just Transition Task Force released new training frameworks for seafarers working with ammonia, methanol and hydrogen, marking the first international effort to align skills and safety standards for alternative marine fuels. The frameworks outline requirements for both junior crew and senior officers, covering […]
In India, pv Magazine India reported that researchers at the Green Hydrogen Research Center of MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) have developed a process that produces both BioCNG and Green Hydrogen from mixed agricultural waste. “Unlike many efforts that rely on a single feedstock such as paddy straw or napier grass, this research demonstrates success […]
In Denmark, Everfuel announced that it has achieved RFNBO certification officially recognizing that its hydrogen production facility, HySynergy, produces green hydrogen under the EU’s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) framework. Everfuel is now a Certified RFNBO Producer, setting a new benchmark for sustainable energy in Denmark and across Europe, the firm said. “This milestone […]
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Wrexham University is seeking permission to build a new laboratory to study and generate green hydrogen. The proposed lab facility at its Plas Coch campus will be created using prefabricated shipping container-style modules and will be situated between the main campus building and the sports center. Its […]
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that South Korea’s Jeonnam Province has formally applied to the national government for $1.9 billion in state subsidies to build what it says would be the largest clean hydrogen production complex in the country. The proposed facility would begin with a 500MW electrolyzer installation and expand to 1GW, […]
