Indian startup offers hydrogen fuel cell stationary gensets
Hydrovert Energy has developed hydrogen fuel-cell-based stationary power generators with capacities ranging from 5 kVA to 50 kVA for long-duration backup power in commercial and industrial applications. The systems use hydrogen as the sole fuel input, regardless of whether the hydrogen is produced via fossil fuel-based processes, renewable-powered electrolysis, or nuclear energy pathways.
Spain, Denmark could develop European green hydrogen corridor for €2/kg by combining solar and offshore wind
The complementarity between Spanish photovoltaics and Danish offshore wind power could underpin a European green hydrogen market by enabling renewable hydrogen production and exports at costs close to €2/kg.
The Hydrogen Stream: Ireland’s LCOH on par with Morocco, Brazil
Fraunhofer ISE, in collaboration with Irishi energy company ESB, developed a methodology showing that Ireland is a competitive location for renewable power-to-X and green hydrogen production with costs comparable to Morocco, South Africa, and Brazil, supported by strong wind resources, policy backing, and infrastructure potential.
