The latest hydrogen industry news, developments, and community updates.
Lotte SK Enroute has begun operations at its Ulsan Hydrogen Power No. 1 facility, a 20 MW hydrogen fuel cell plant that converts by-product hydrogen from nearby refineries into low-carbon electricity.
Ballard Power Systems named Ralph Robinett as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer to strengthen global operations and accelerate fuel cell production as demand for hydrogen solutions grows.
Ceres has introduced Ceres Endura, a solid-oxide stack platform designed for onsite power and hydrogen production at data centers and energy-intensive facilities, with installation timelines measured in months rather than years.
Researchers at UNSW have redesigned hydrogen fuel cells to prevent water accumulation, achieving 75% more power than traditional designs and moving the technology closer to commercial deployment in aviation and freight applications.
Heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are now operating on France's A4 motorway in the Grand Est region, supported by a growing network of refueling stations powered by renewable energy electrolysis.
Cummins and Alstom have faced divergent consequences from hydrogen market weakness, with Cummins able to write down assets and exit electrolyzer production, while Alstom must support hydrogen trains already in service for decades to come.
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fuel cell redesign featuring microscopic lateral bypass channels that increase power output by 75% while reducing water accumulation issues and material costs.
Toyota Motor Corporation has signed a non-binding agreement to become an equal shareholder in cellcentric alongside Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, combining expertise in fuel cell development and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturing.
Freudenberg has dissolved its e-Power Systems Business Group, discontinuing battery and fuel cell systems operations while retaining its hydrogen components business under Sealing Technologies. The restructuring affects approximately 600 employees, primarily in the United States.
Volvo has commenced on-road trials of heavy trucks powered by hydrogen combustion engines using High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) technology, with commercial launch planned before 2030.
Centrica and Ceres have formed a partnership to deploy solid oxide fuel cell and electrolysis technologies for on-site power generation across data centers, manufacturing, and logistics facilities in the UK and Europe.
FuelCell Energy is launching packaged 12.5 MW fuel cell power blocks designed to address grid constraints limiting data center expansion, while planning to triple manufacturing capacity at its Connecticut facility.
