The latest hydrogen industry news, developments, and community updates.

The European Commission has selected nine hydrogen production projects across seven countries to receive €1.09 billion in EU funding, expected to deliver 1.1 gigawatts of electrolyser capacity and produce over 1.3 million tonnes of hydrogen within the first decade.

Thyssengas is developing a 100 km hydrogen pipeline from Emsbüren to Dorsten in Germany, designed to deliver green hydrogen from North Sea ports and Dutch entry points to steel and chemical manufacturers in the Ruhr region by 2030.

Consultations for the BarMar subsea hydrogen pipeline connecting Barcelona to Fos-sur-Mer have begun, with 25 public discussions planned over two months starting May 6.

Seven of Vienna's ten hydrogen buses are sidelined due to spare parts unavailability from manufacturer CaetanoBus, raising concerns about supplier reliability and ecosystem maturity in hydrogen transit procurement.

Solaris Bus & Coach has chosen Ballard Power Systems' FCmove®-SC fuel cell engine for its Generation 2 hydrogen bus platform under an extended supply agreement through 2029.

Six firms have signed Letters of Intent with Danish TSO Energinet for the Danish Hydrogen Backbone 1 pipeline, targeting green hydrogen exports from Western Denmark to Germany's industrial sectors beginning in 2031.

easyJet and Rolls-Royce successfully tested a modified Pearl 15 engine running on pure hydrogen through a complete simulated flight cycle at NASA's Stennis Space Center, demonstrating that modern turbofans can operate on 100% hydrogen under real-world conditions.

Qingdao is testing seawater electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen without consuming freshwater reserves, using filtered seawater fed into wind- or solar-powered electrolyzers at the port.
