Hidrogenii has commissioned a 15-tonne-per-day (tpd) hydrogen liquefaction plant in Louisiana, the US. The Plug Power and Olin Corporation joint venture (JV) has said the facility will liquefy hydrogen production by Olin for trailer shipments across the US, serving Plug’s material handling customers, utilising its spot pricing market. The St. Gabriel plant reportedly brings Plug’s total production capacity to 40 tonnes per day.
France backs Gen-Hy with nearly €100m to build first AEM electrolyser factory

Green hydrogen and CCUS-based steelmaking not economically viable before 2030: ArcelorMittal

1 week ago | h2-view.com | Edward Laity

ArcelorMittal has said that integrating green hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) steelmaking and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies is unlikely to be economically viable before 2030. In the steel major’s 2024 Sustainability Report, ArcelorMittal’s CEO, Aditya Mittal, admitted that the large-scale transformation of steelmaking through these technologies won’t happen soon due to the high capital and operational costs associated.

Nordics and Iberia offer Europe’s lowest-cost RFNBO hydrogen: Aurora Energy Research

1 week ago | h2-view.com | Edward Laity

Aurora Energy Research has highlighted the Nordic and Iberian regions as front-runners in producing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO)-compliant hydrogen at prices attractive to offtakers. Due to cheap, abundant renewable electricity and the growing use of hybrid Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) – now the preferred procurement model – the Nordics and Iberia are achieving levelised costs of hydrogen (LCOH) between €5.4 and €10.6/kg.
Hydrogen consortium launched in Slovenia to drive decarbonisation

Slovenia’s national gas operator Plinovodi has launched the Hydrogen for Users consortium (SloH2U), bringing together over 50 industrial companies to drive the country’s shift from natural gas to hydrogen and renewable gases. Reportedly, the consortium will aim to develop hydrogen infrastructure and pilot projects in Slovenia, integrate the country into the European hydrogen ecosystem and align with EU goals.
Manchester pilot to turn sewage into clean hydrogen and graphene

1 week ago | h2-view.com | Edward Laity

UK-based United Utilities and climate tech firm Levidian will run a pilot project in Manchester to turn sewage waste into clean hydrogen and graphene. The UK could eventually produce up to 75,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, according to Levidian’s online statement, which would reportedly be enough to fuel over 40% of all UK bus and coach journeys.
