PESA Bydgoszcz SA Rail Vehicles will begin work on Poland's first hydrogen-powered passenger vehicle, capable of operating on both electrified and non-electric lines. The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFEP) has signed an agreement with the company to co-finance the project from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO).

A US consortium plans to build two 20-tonne-per-day electrolytic hydrogen-based ammonia systems for fertiliser applications in Minnesota.

TANAKA announces the development of the world's first high-performance palladium hydrogen permeable membrane that exhibits high hydrogen purification performance at around 100°C.

California has recently expanded its network of retail hydrogen stations with the soft opening of Chevron’s third hydrogen refueling station, located in Carson. This milestone reflects growing momentum in expanding California’s hydrogen fueling infrastructure to support the deployment of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) across the state’s diverse regions.

Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a critical energy carrier capable of supporting decarbonization across sectors such as industry, transportation, and power generation. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen combustion produces no direct carbon dioxide emissions. However, large-scale deployment of hydrogen technologies requires reliable methods for storing vast amounts of hydrogen to balance supply and demand, particularly for seasonal energy storage.

Surface storage solutions, such as pressurized tanks, are costly and limited in capacity. For this reason, scientists are exploring underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in geological formations.

A Norwegian startup has secured USD 17.5 million (EUR 15 million) in a Series A funding to develop a new seasonal energy storage system aimed to help homes store excess amounts of solar energy in summer for use during the winter.

Designed by Oslo-based energy storage scaleup Photoncycle, the seasonal solid-state hydrogen energy storage system is set to roll out commercially in Denmark and the Netherlands. It aims to tackle long-duration storage across seasons, one of the greatest challenges facing renewable energy systems.

A British Columbia pulp mill that’s been in operation for more than 50 years will test a way to replace carbon-emitting natural gas with clean-burning ‘green’ hydrogen made from water.

The novel approach is expected to reduce the Kruger Kamloops Pulp Mill’s greenhouse gas emissions by 7,000 tonnes a year – the equivalent of removing 1,200 to 1,500 vehicles from the roads, according to Zachary Steele, chief executive of New York-based Elemental Clean Fuels, the developer behind the green hydrogen project.

Toronto-based Elemental Trucks says it has completed development of what it describes as Canada’s first commercially available 63.5-tonne hydrogen fuel-cell-electric truck, positioning the company to enter the heavy-haul, long-distance segment of the zero-emission market.

A team at Inner Mongolia Normal University has demonstrated a process that takes shredded PET plastic, dissolves it in a chemical bath, and runs an electrical current through it. What comes out the other side is hydrogen gas — a clean fuel — and a chemical called formate, which is used in animal feed and food preservation. Both have commercial value. Neither requires new raw materials beyond the waste plastic itself.
