The FAA published special conditions for ZeroAvia's 600 kW hydrogen-electric aircraft engine — creating the first regulatory pathway for hydrogen-powered commercial flight.

Green hydrogen production is, in effect, a way of bottling renewable energy.

The state of Michigan will invest $7.5 million in seed money in looking for deposits of geologic hydrogen. The carbon-free gas can be formed deep underground under the right conditions, and those conditions may exist in Michigan.

China's hydrogen market is seeing a transition with green hydrogen prices nearing parity with grey hydrogen.

A research team has developed a visible-light photocatalyst that nearly doubled hydrogen production by decorating cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) derived from cellulose. The optimized composite produced 7,812.5 µmol of hydrogen per gram within five hours, compared with 4,633.5 µmol/g for unmodified CdS. The CQDs improved light harvesting, accelerated electron transfer, and reduced the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. By combining a biomass-derived carbon material with a visible-light-responsive semiconductor, the strategy could support the development of more sustainable and cost-effective systems for converting solar energy into clean hydrogen fuel.

A Swiss student team is in final preparations for the maiden flight of its 125-mile hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft in Switzerland.

CHANGWON, South Korea — Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), led by President Chul-jin Choi, announced that a research team led by Principal Researcher Sung Mook Choi of the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division, in collaboration with research teams led by Professor Min Ho Seo of Pukyong National University and Professor Won Bae Kim of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), has developed a highly durable platinum–nickel (PtNi) hydrogen evolution catalyst that suppresses nickel (Ni) leaching through atomic ordering. Nickel leaching is a major cause of performance degradation in catalysts used for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). The research addresses a longstanding problem in water electrolysis catalysts, which typically lose performance during prolonged operation, by stabilizing the catalyst structure at the atomic level. When applied to a system approaching the scale of an actual hydrogen production unit, the catalyst demonstrated less than 2% performance degradation after 3,000 hours of continuous operation. The technology is expected to advance the practical application of water electrolysis catalysts for green hydrogen production.

Within a month of launching its first hydrogen-powered train, Indian Railways is now looking for cheaper green hydrogen options to expand operations. Indian Railways is considering several measures to expand the pool of green hydrogen suppliers and bring down procurement expenses, including providing manufacturers with offtake assurances.

According to official estimates, hydrogen trains had clocked more than 2,500 km of commercial operations by early August, after services began in mid-July this year.

India currently has the world's most powerful hydrogen train in operation and has also established a dedicated facility for manufacturing and supplying hydrogen for the train. The initial target is to deploy 35 hydrogen-powered trains on heritage routes, which generally include hilly stretches where railway electrification will not be feasible.

China is leading the global hydrogen energy market in both production and consumption, with its renewable hydrogen capacity now accounting for over 50 percent of the world's total, according to a newly released industry report.

Scientists have discovered record-breaking natural hydrogen leaks in the Sichuan Basin, with purity levels reaching up to 98.24%.

Canada’s Charbone is expanding capacity at its flagship green hydrogen facility in Quebec, having received a second electrolyser at the site that began operations in December 2025.

The new system will bump capacity at the firm’s Sorel-Tracy plant up to 4.75MW, joining an operational 2.25MW Cummins-made alkaline electrolyser.

With the project currently producing 328 tonnes of hydrogen per year fuelled by hydroelectric grid power, the new electrolyser could bring the output up to 694 tonnes.

New Zealand's government has earmarked NZD 30 million (USD 17.6m/EUR 15.2m) in the Regional Infrastructure Fund for projects to help develop the hydrogen sector, and is also providing NZD 15 million from the same fund for a new facility that will produce critical minerals and hydrogen.

The proposal aims to develop 1GW of onshore solar capacity and a 320MW water electrolysis facility.

Rolls-Royce and TCS run an aero gas turbine on 100% hydrogen across a simulated flight cycle from take-off to landing.

Once operational, the facility will produce up to 600 tons per day of carbon-free hydrogen, converted into green ammonia for global export.

Climate-focused blended finance investment manager Climate Fund Managers announced that it has raised ZAR 3 billion (USD$182 million) at the first close of SA-H2, a blended finance fund focused on supporting the development construction and operation of green-hydrogen infrastructure in Southern Africa.

As the world searches for sources of low-emission energy, researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) have uncovered a potential clean energy game-changer beneath Western Australia's red soil. The new study has revealed a way to generate naturally occurring hydrogen that ECU experts say could help power Australia's future—and create a major export industry.

The breakthrough centers on magnetite, a mineral found in Western Australia's vast iron ore deposits throughout the Pilbara region. ECU School of Engineering researchers have discovered that when magnetite reacts with hot water deep underground, it can generate hydrogen gas.

The team has found a way to stimulate hydrogen production by injecting a solution into banded iron formations, significantly increasing the potential to harness this naturally occurring resource. "There is enough hydrogen for Australia to benefit for generations, and potentially enough for us to become a major exporter of clean energy to the rest of the world."

The buses are set to operate across the entire service network and run complete shifts without needing to refuel.
