Freeport East has announced that the Hydrogen Zero Emission Maritime (HyZEM) project, which focuses on developing low-carbon green hydrogen technology for high-powered workboats, will receive £1.44 million from Innovate UK and ‘a similar sum’ from Australia’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Businesses from the UK and Australia specialising in green hydrogen...

The United States Treasury Department will reportedly issue draft rules this week for the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) 45V tax credit to incentivize clean hydrogen production. Leaked details suggest they will require electrolyzers—which split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity—to use clean power to earn the subsidy. This requirement—using clean power, not fossil fuels—has been...
