World’s first offshore green hydrogen electrolyzer begins production – EQ Mag Pro
The world’s first site for the production of green hydrogen at sea from offshore wind power has produced its first batch of hydrogen from a floating 1MW electrolyser off the coast of France. The 1MW “Sealhyfe” pilot project was developed by French pure hydrogen producer Lhyfe and US-based Plug Power, which supplied the electrolyser. It […]
India emerging as key base for hydrogen electrolyser production with 8GW by 2025 – EQ Mag Pro
Western companies are piling into India’s green H2 market via joint ventures with homegrown energy firms, says analyst Rystad Energy India is emerging as one of the world’s most important electrolyser manufacturing centres, with 8GW of factories due to come on line by 2025, according to analysis from Norwegian research house Rystad Energy. The 8GW […]
Hydrogen Supply – EQ Mag Pro
Hydrogen as a clean energy vector still has significant progress to make to get on track with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. In 2021 hydrogen demand was almost entirely met by unabated fossil fuel-based hydrogen. The production of low-emission hydrogen was around 0.6 Mt in 2021 (less than 1% of global hydrogen production). But […]
Promising signs in electrolyzer manufacturing add to growing momentum for low-emissions hydrogen – EQ Mag Pro
The energy crisis has further strengthened interest in hydrogen, but greater policy support is needed to drive new and cleaner uses of it in heavy industry and long-distance transport Momentum continues to build behind low-emissions hydrogen amid the global energy crisis, with electrolyser manufacturing expected to grow strongly and pilot projects proliferating in new applications […]
France urges Brussels to label nuclear-produced hydrogen ‘green’ – EQ Mag Pro
French Energy Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher is trying to get EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson to include nuclear among energy sources for the production of so-called “green” hydrogen, according to a letter seen by EURACTIV France. In May, the European Union unveiled its REPowerEU programme to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and speed up […]
Hitachi’s Hydrogen Business – EQ Mag Pro
To achieve a society in which hydrogen is utilized with peace of mind, Hitachi is pursuing the development of products, technologies and services from the perspectives of production, storage, transportation and utilization of hydrogen. We will deal with the unique characteristics of hydrogen that make it the key to the innovation needed to achieve carbon […]

Romco, a UK-based non-ferrous metals recycling firm, said it was in […]
EC plans EUR-3bn European Hydrogen Bank – EQ Mag Pro
The European Commission (EC) plans to create a new European Hydrogen Bank to invest EUR 3 billion (USD 3.05bn) in the establishment of a future market for hydrogen. EC president Ursula von der Leyen announced this at her third State of the Union address today, September 14, 2022. “Hydrogen can be a game changer for […]
The Inflation Reduction Act: The moment for US green steel and fertiliser – EQ Mag Pro
Thanks to tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act, the US has a golden opportunity to decarbonise steel, fertiliser and other hard-to-abate sectors. Industry in the US will soon have access to the cheapest green hydrogen in the world, allowing companies to replace polluting coking coal, natural gas and heavy fuel oil with this low-carbon […]
