• [New] Africa could produce 5,000 megatons of green hydrogen annually by 2040, potentially worth $300 billion in export value. Discovery Alert
• [New] National Grid Ventures announced it will install the first commercially-deployed, 100% hydrogen-fueled linear generator in the world at its Northport Power Plant, supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the Long Island Power Authority. HydrogenWire
• [New] After intensive planning, one of the pioneering projects for the future of energy is now being realized: By 2027, the approximately 53-kilometer-long natural gas pipeline system from Vlieghuis to Ochtrup is to be converted for hydrogen transport. HydrogenWire
• [New] As part of RWE's major GET H2 Nukleus project, an electrolysis capacity of 300 MW will be built in Lingen by 2027 as the basis for a supra-regional hydrogen infrastructure. HydrogenWire
• [New] Once operational in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is poised to be the largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production facility and one of the largest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol in the world. HydrogenWire
• [New] TOULOUSE-Blue Spirit Aero is pressing on with ground testing of a dedicated prototype of its Dragonfly hydrogen-powered light aircraft, gearing up for flight trials in 2026. Aviation Week Network
• [New] The uncertainty surrounding offshore wind has led investors to hedge against U.S. policy risks by exploring opportunities in emerging markets and alternative technologies like green hydrogen and long-duration energy storage. Ainvest
• [New] The recent auction results, where a total of 1.5 GW of electrolyzer capacity received support, underline the challenges in scaling up hydrogen production to meet the EU's target of 100 GW by 2030. Rystad Energy
• [New] Hydrogen has already been used to power aircraft in multiple demonstration flights, and the global aviation industry has pledged to achieve net zero by 2050. Energy News, Top Headlines, Commentaries, Features & Ev
• [New] Samsung C & T E & C Group and ENEC will explore opportunities to produce hydrogen using nuclear power in Korea and other global markets. Samsung C&T Newsroom
• By 2030, the potential production of low-emissions hydrogen could reach 49 Mt per annum, accounting for approximately three-quarters of the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario target. SpringerLink
• Despite the high current costs, green hydrogen production costs are expected to decrease by ~ 30% by 2030, driven by scaling up electrolyzer manufacturing, advancements in renewable energy technologies, and improved system designs. SpringerLink
• Looking ahead, declining renewable energy prices, solar PV and onshore wind costs have already fallen by 85% and 68% since 2010, are projected to reach USD 0.01-0.02/kWh in optimal regions by 2030, further reducing electricity's share of hydrogen production costs. SpringerLink
• As hydrogen production scales up to meet global demand, continued research into catalyst development, system efficiency improvements, and cost reduction strategies will be essential for enabling the widespread deployment of water electrolysis technologies. SpringerLink
• Global hydrogen demand currently stands at approximately 100 Mt and is projected to rise significantly in the coming decades, with predictions suggesting that hydrogen may supply up to 20% of global energy demand within 30 years. SpringerLink
• By 2030, the cost of green hydrogen could fall below $2 per kilogram. FTC Publications Newswire
• By 2045, the total demand is projected to reach 360 to 500 TWh for molecular hydrogen and around 200 TWh for derivatives. NewClimate Institute
