Hydrogen is supposed to be smooth. At least, that’s how the national roadmaps and investor decks present it—neatly distributed pipelines, symmetric electrolyzers, clean blue curves of growth. But step inside the real hydrogen economy, and it looks nothing like that. It’s jagged. It’s fractal. It’s a collection of breakthroughs, retreats, and strange alliances—exactly what you’d […]
In Japan, Asahi Kasei said it will supply its Aqualyzer-C3 containerized 1 MW-class alkaline-water electrolyzer to the Central Finland Mobility Foundation (Cefmof). The firm noted that the system will play an essential role in Central Finland’s hydrogen production and contribute to the region’s decarbonization efforts. Full operation is expected to begin in the first half […]
