Cottbusverkehr, the public transport operator active in Cottbus, ordered 46 fuel cell buses from Wrightbus two years ago. Starting this week, four of the new buses will be tested in regular service for the first time. A prerequisite for this was the commissioning of a mobile hydrogen refueling station at the beginning of the month.

US hydrogen technology company Teledyne Energy Systems (TESI) has deployed a small-scale electrolyser at a Japanese automotive component manufacturer’s green hydrogen demonstration facility to replace natural gas.

Auto supplier JTEKT will use TESI’s Titan El Series alkaline system to produce hydrogen onsite, which will be used to offset the liquified natural gas consumption in furnaces for aluminium melting and die-casting.

Installed at JTKET’s “carbon neutral plant” in the Aichi Prefecture of Okazaki City, the electrolyser will be powered by on-site solar and renewable grid electricity.

According to TESI, replacing the burner’s fossil fuel with green hydrogen could reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 56 tonnes per year.

The BZA375 delivers up to 375 kW of continuous net power — more than 500 hp — from a single system, eliminating the need for the dual-system configurations used in earlier designs.

Among its headline performance gains:

• Up to 20% lower fuel consumption compared to its predecessor
• Hydrogen consumption below 6 kg per 100 km in a fully loaded 40-ton truck
• 40% reduction in waste heat, enabling simpler cooling systems
• 40% higher power density for easier integration into existing chassis
• Less than 500 kg system weight, preserving payload capacity

Norway’s Norsk e-Fuel has expanded its partnership with aircraft giant Boeing to accelerate the development of green hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) for commercial and defence applications.

Siemens Mobility Association will supply 12 hydrogen fuel cell electric trains to the Romanian Railway Reform Authority (RRA), fulfilling a repeatedly cancelled $373m tender.

The German technology conglomerate, which was the sole bidder, was granted the tender to deploy the trains across Romania.

The award follows the successful completion of financial and technical evaluations by the RRA and the approval of the country’s National Authority for Public Procurement.

Siemens will also provide maintenance support for 30 years, with a potential 30-year extension subject to a review clause in the contract.

Singapore-headquartered technology firm Greenlyzer is looking to deploy its hydrogen microgrid for self-sufficient power production across Southeast Asia.

Through a new memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Cambodian investment and holding company Royal Group, Greenlyzer will explore opportunities for the system in Cambodia and the wider region.

The Green Moving Grid (GMG) is an off-grid modular system comprising AEM electrolysis, solid-state hydrogen storage, and fuel cells to produce, store, and use hydrogen on-site.

Publishing in Communications Chemistry, researchers from Kyushu University have discovered a simple method of generating hydrogen gas by mixing methanol, sodium hydroxide, and iron ions, then irradiating the solution with UV light.

The Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) issued the first official certification of a renewable hydrogen production facility.

The plant qualification decision was given to Magyar Földgáztároló‘s (MFGT – Hungarian Gas Storage) facility. The ruling allows the company’s Kardoskút plant to become the first in the country to produce renewable hydrogen through the conversion of renewable electricity.The facility utilises water electrolysis and proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology to generate the gas. Following a professional audit and technical review, the regulator confirmed the plant is capable of verifying its output with official guarantees of origin.

The applicants says the facility would help reduce reliance on landfill and fossil fuels.

Isuzu and Toyota planned to launch a fuel cell bus together as early as this year. Now, the two Japanese companies have agreed to collaborate on the development of a light-duty fuel cell truck for series production, with its debut scheduled for 2027.

Scientists in Chile have developed a low-cost, easy-to-deploy hydrogen system powered by end-of-life solar panels. The residential solution reportedly achieves a levelized cost of hydrogen of approximately $5.8/kg.

€1.4 billion financing led by Wallenberg Investments consortium advances one of Europe’s largest green steel projects Deal reinforces Sweden’s industrial Stegra has agreed in principle to raise $1.6 Billion from Wallenberg Investments for Europe’s largest green steel projects.

Until now, climate‑neutral steel production has only been feasible using premium ores with an iron content of roughly 70%.

These ores, however, are scarce and expensive worldwide. Moreover, existing processes require the use of a shaft furnace, which in turn demands cost‑ and energy‑intensive pelletising of the ore.

For the first time, untreated Australian iron-ore with a comparatively low 56% iron content has been processed into DRI at industrial scale at Namibia’s Oshivela site, where project partner HyIron Green Technologies operates the innovative hydrogen rotary kiln.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ (CIP) planned 1.5GW green hydrogen project in Western Australia has joined a federal government programme aimed at fast-tracking the development through approvals and regulations.

The Danish energy investor said the project joined the Treasury’s Front Door programme, to help it navigate regulatory requirements, connect it with government agencies, regulators, and identify “suitable government finance opportunities.”

The Murchison green hydrogen project plans to produce 900,000 tonnes of green hydrogen-based ammonia in the first stage, before potentially expanding to two million tonnes per year for export.

A group of Chinese scientists have innovatively proposed a systematic assessment framework for the large-scale industrial application of direct seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production, providing theoretical support for the development of the marine green hydrogen industry.

Guangzhou, a major city in southern China, has been expanding the use of hydrogen as an energy source for transportation in several key sectors, as the local government seeks to expand green energy options to better fit the needs of industries.

The city has more than 4,000 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, the highest number in China.
