In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that H-Power, a provider of ammonia-based low carbon hydrogen production and hydrogen-to-power solutions, announced the successful completion of the first phase of its Komatsu Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) program. Under the JDA, announced on 10 February 2026, the firm is working to design and integrate H-Power’s proprietary ammonia cracking technology with a Komatsu industrial internal combustion diesel engine to assess the feasibility of a new ammonia fuelled engine platform capable of scaled production.
The second, and final, phase is to deliver the build out and demonstration of H-Power’s ammonia cracker integrated with Komatsu’s engine and is scheduled to take place from September 2026 through to December 2027, according to the report.
Successful operational delivery under the JDA would potentially provide Komatsu customers with an alternative, sustainable solution for their fleets of construction and mining plant equipment, thereby introducing H-Power’s technology into a further business vertical with a significant addressable market.
