A Nanyang Technological University device uses sunlight to split seawater into hydrogen while simultaneously degrading toxic hydrazine pollutant.

The world's first semi-submersible offshore wind-to-hydrogen platform has floated in Jiangmen, south

Scientists have developed a ceramic electrolyzer that doubles clean hydrogen output from steam without increasing electricity consumption.

Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering are collaborating with industry partner Mote to transform biomass waste on campus into hydrogen fuel while removing and sequestering carbon dioxide.

Led by Dante Simonetti, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at UCLA Samueli, the team has been working since April to test and evaluate a pilot-scale biomass gasification system with three key objectives: carbon removal, waste reduction and clean energy production.

The process could turn UCLA’s biomass waste — approximately 7 tons per day of materials including food waste and plant trimmings — into hydrogen gas while capturing carbon dioxide released during the process before it escapes into the atmosphere.

Would you buy a hydrogen truck if someone guaranteed it would cost no more to run than a diesel? That is the offer H2Accelerate wants the EU to make to hauliers. The group, which includes Daimler Truck, Volvo Group, Linde and TotalEnergies, is proposing a European mechanism that would pay the remaining difference in total cost of ownership (TCO) between hydrogen and diesel trucks. The money would follow hydrogen use or kilometres driven, not truck purchases, and would come from the EU's 2028–2034 budget.

A six-month pilot led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland will test the SISU Escalate, a 68-tonne battery-electric truck with a 650kWh IONCOR battery and 120kW hydrogen fuel cell range extender, on a 540km daily route between Vuosaari harbor and Jyväskylä from late 2026, under the EU-funded ESCALATE project.

Toyota’s plan to begin production of the hydrogen-powered Hilux in Thailand is gaining traction. As reported by Nikkei Asia, Toyota recently received approval for incentives related to its 1.49 billion Thai baht (almost P2.8 billion) investment to build a production line for the Toyota Hilux hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV).

Production will reportedly take place at the automaker’s Ban Pho plant beginning in December 2027, using one of the existing Hilux production lines as a base. Initial batches of the Hilux FCEV will be exported to markets such as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Following Fountain Fuel’s earlier announcement that it would be reducing the price of hydrogen at the pump, Greenpoint is now also set to lower its hydrogen price. The company has announced this on LinkedIn.

From Tuesday 20 October, Greenpoint will reduce the price at its stations in Dordrecht, Nieuwegein and Oude-Tonge to 10.95 euros per kilogram, including VAT, and 9.05 euros excluding VAT. This brings the price of hydrogen in line with that of Fountain Fuel, which reduced its price on 14 October from 18.95 euros to 10.95 euros per kilogram.

SWITCH Maritime reports that it has secured a Design Basis Agreement (DBA) with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for its a 150-passenger hydrogen fuel cell-electric ferry, SWITCH-150.

On challenging expeditions, researchers have collected deep-sea bacteria that naturally produce hydrogen, exploring and documenting an ancient ecosystem that may soon be altered forever

High-pressure composite hydrogen storage technology is supporting new rail applications in Jilin Province, China, from suburban passenger transport to cultural tourism, while helping to preserve and revitalise the region’s railway heritage.

Construction is slated for completion by late 2028, with commercial demonstration operations scheduled to begin in 2030 following commissioning

Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) has introduced a package of 10 measures aimed at accelerating the development of the country’s hydrogen market (BMWE press release, 19/10/2026). “The development of the hydrogen market is currently facing major challenges and is being delayed, especially since production costs are still significantly higher than the willingness to pay of many potential application sectors” said the Ministry.

SB 804 establishes hydrogen-specific safety standards and resolves uncertainty over regulatory oversight as California prepares for expanded hydrogen infrastructure

A research team led by Dr. Kyung-Soo Kang and Dr. Hyun-Jun Lee from the Hydrogen Energy Research Division of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed Ni/Co-based heterostructure water electrolysis electrodes that deliver higher hydrogen production efficiency than conventional noble-metal electrodes.

The work is published in the journal Advanced Science.

The new electrodes have achieved a 99% reduction in material costs compared with noble-metal electrodes, contributing to a reduction in hydrogen production costs. Conventional noble metals are approximately $58/g for platinum (Pt) and $54/g for ruthenium (Ru), whereas KIER's electrode materials are approximately $0.02/g for nickel (Ni) and $0.05/g for cobalt (Co)

A new study shows the gas could be stored in crystalline bedrock

Toyota Motor North America and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) have demonstrated that Toyota-powered heavy-duty trucks can be refueled with hydrogen in about eight minutes for a range of up to 450 miles, the company announced on Oct. 20. Toyota has also installed two mobile hydrogen fueling devices at North American Parts Center California (NAPCC), its largest parts distribution facility in the U.S.

Among the different approaches to water electrolysis, proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis stands out for its ability to respond quickly to changes in electricity supply. This flexibility makes it particularly well suited for use with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.

However, this technology relies on iridium-based catalysts for oxygen production, which are not only expensive due to the metal's rarity but can also gradually lose their effectiveness over time.

To help iridium catalysts last longer, researchers developed a new design to protect the metal from degradation. By embedding iridium nanoparticles in a specially designed high-entropy perovskite, they created a structure that firmly holds the particles in place while regulating their electronic environment.

Stadler Rail has achieved a world's first: a narrow-gauge hydrogen-powered train. The train is intended for use in Sardinia and is currently being tested on a dedicated test track built in Switzerland.

Hyster has delivered a hydrogen-powered ReachStacker to Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) in the Netherlands. The delivery is part of a joint initiative exploring hydrogen’s role in port and logistics decarbonization. The Hyster RSJ46-33XDH/62 ReachStacker will support operations at Europe’s largest dedicated shortsea shipping hub. It will primarily handle 45-foot containers, including open-top containers.
