China commissions salt cavern hydrogen storage project
China’s first large-scale salt cavern hydrogen storage demonstration project has been commissioned in Henan province. The 1.5 million m³ facility validates geological hydrogen storage technology and supports renewable energy integration.
The Hydrogen Stream: Atome builds $665 million green hydrogen-based fertilizer plant in Paraguay
Atome PLC has taken Final Investment Decision on a 60,000 tpa green hydrogen-based fertilizer plant in Villeta, Paraguay. The $665 million project is financed by DFIs and equity partners and is targeting production by 2029.
Low-pressure hydrogen bridges seasonal gaps in solar-powered Japanese building
Taisei Corporation has demonstrated that a building can operate entirely on solar power by combining PV generation with a hybrid storage system integrating batteries and low-pressure hydrogen at a test facility in Yokohama. An EMS-enabled setup using lithium-ion batteries and PEM electrolysis balanced short- and long-term energy supply and demand, enabling year-round renewable operation, according to the company.
The Hydrogen Stream: Levelized cost of hydrogen at Mediterranean ports can be as low as €2.5/kg for hybrid systems
A study from the University of Naples Federico II finds hydrogen production at Mediterranean ports could cost €5.7–8.6/kg using only renewables and €2.5–13/kg in hybrid systems, with solar emerging as the most reliable resource and wind outperforming it in select locations. Alongside these findings, major industry developments include new hydrogen and e-fuel projects, advanced electrolyser technologies, and EU-backed infrastructure expansion supporting large-scale decarbonization.
Australian developer moves ahead with modular green hydrogen production plant
Intercontinental Energy, the company driving two of Australia’s largest renewable energy projects, has announced key milestones for the system architecture that is to serve as the backbone for the proposed giga-scale green hydrogen projects.
How to generate hydrogen at home with recycled solar panels
Scientists in Chile have developed a low-cost, easy-to-deploy hydrogen system powered by end-of-life solar panels. The residential solution reportedly achieves a levelized cost of hydrogen of approximately $5.8/kg.
The Hydrogen Stream: BMW unveils tank for iX5 Hydrogen
BMW says its new hydrogen tank enables longer range and flexible production, while South Korea has revealed plans to develop large-scale liquid hydrogen storage systems.
The Hydrogen Stream: Dutch electrolyzer merger forms Alquion
Battolyser Systems and VDL Hydrogen Systems have merged to form Alquion, while Ming Yang Smart Energy Group plans to invest more than $10 billion in hydrogen and renewable energy projects in Ethiopia.
Indian startup launches plug-and-play hydrogen cooking unit
Indian clean-tech startup Greenvize has launched a compact hydrogen-based cooking system designed for residential and commercial kitchens. The system integrates a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser directly into a cooking unit, enabling on-site hydrogen generation from water without the need for storage or distribution infrastructure.
The Hydrogen Stream: Capacity outlook grows, deals shift
GlobalData says hydrogen capacity could reach 82.3 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) by 2030, while Topsoe has ended supply agreements with First Ammonia.
