Aug 8, 2026 Algeria's state energy company SONATRACH and German technology group Robert Bosch have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore cooperation in the green hydrogen sector. The agreement was announced on August 8, 2026, according to Hydrogen Central.Scope of the agreementThe memorandum aims to identify partnership opportunities for developing...

UD researchers develop a green recycling process to recover precious metals from hydrogen technologies Hydrogen could play an important role in meeting the world’s sustainable energy needs. It can serve as a fuel source, an energy carrier and an energy storage medium. However, the future hydrogen economy may hinge on iridium, a metal so rare that only about eight metric...

The European Commission has authorized a Dutch scheme of 780 million euros to support the production of renewable hydrogen. The measure has received the green light from Brussels as it is considered to comply with community rules on state aid and contributes to the industrial and climate objectives of the European Union.The money will come from the authorities of the Netherlands. The Commission's...

Over the past several years, the hydrogen market has been a major topic in the EU. Green hydrogen production was seen as having a bright future, especially given the rapid development of renewable energy sources (RES). Some forecasts even suggested that hydrogen would largely replace natural gas in the foreseeable future. Unrealistic expectations were also reflected in legislation, which is now said...

The development of hydrogen and its use in the energy sector are nowhere near the targets set by the European Union. In 2024, a total of 308 MW of electrolyser capacity was operating in the EU – only a fraction of the 6 GW target set out in the European hydrogen strategy. The EU is also falling short of its 2024 hydrogen production target.The reality of hydrogen development in the European Union is...

Aug 8, 2026 Resato Hydrogen Technology BV has filed for a suspension of payments, according to Hydrogen Central. The application was submitted on July 21, and a court-appointed administrator, Jeroen Sprangers of REIN, took up his duties on July 22.Financing shortfall forces stay of paymentsThe company, based in Assen and known for manufacturing hydrogen...

As of this summer, the U.S. has 10.6 gigawatts of operating cell capacity, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. The new cell tariffs should drive additional demand to Qcells, ES Foundry, Suniva, and Silfab — the only companies producing that item domestically. That will still leave tens of gigawatts of annual installations exposed to higher...

Aug 8, 2026 Scientists at the University of Delaware have devised an environmentally friendly technique for reclaiming valuable metals from spent hydrogen-energy systems, as detailed in a Hydrogen Central report. The innovation focuses on components like proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers and fuel cells, which depend on iridium and platinum catalysts...

Aug 8, 2026 Cadiz, Inc. and RIC Energy have formalized a Memorandum of Understanding to build on-site solar generation at Cadiz Ranch, as announced on July 22, 2026. The pact is designed to speed up the shift of Cadiz's farming operations to clean power and broaden the firms' joint work on green hydrogen. The agreement also sets up a structure for studying...

GreenH receives EU funding for new hydrogen hub in Rogaland GreenH has been awarded support from the EU’s Innovation Fund of approximately NOK 600 million for the development of a new hydrogen hub in Rogaland. This paves the way for the establishment of GreenH’s planned hydrogen plant in the region around 2030. The facility is planned with an electrolysis capacity of 12.5...
