Saudi Arabia is pushing for a cleaner future through the Saudi Green Initiative, targeting 50% renewable power by 2030. With the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project and a $10 billion investment in green hydrogen, the Kingdom is positioning itself as a global leader in clean energy.

Fuda Zijin Hydrogen Energy and Sinopec unveil China’s first on-site ammonia-to-hydrogen refuelling system, cutting costs and boosting clean transport.

HRS has opened a new subsidiary in Dubai to support hydrogen mobility and refuelling infrastructure projects across the Middle East.

China’s new Technology Roadmap 3.0 sets an ambitious target of four million hydrogen vehicles by 2040, redefining the global clean-mobility race.

ARENA has launched round two of its Hydrogen Headstart Program, offering $2 billion to support large-scale renewable hydrogen projects across Australia.

Plans for the Milford Haven: Hydrogen Kingdom scheme are advancing, with technical designs and consents progressing. The project will combine offshore wind and electrolysis to produce low-carbon hydrogen in South Wales.

A new UK-first demonstrator will turn seawater into hydrogen fuel to power ships and ferries. Brunel University leads the project, backed by £1.44 million in government funding.

The UK has completed its first real-world hydrogen blending trial, injecting 2% green hydrogen into the gas grid to fuel a working power station. A key step toward low-carbon grid decarbonisation.

Over $20bn in US hydrogen funding could vanish — and Democratic states are taking the hit. California’s hub faces a billion-dollar cut as Trump’s DOE reshapes the clean energy map.

Redcar and Cleveland College has opened a modular hydrogen refuelling and training hub, building Tees Valley’s workforce for the hydrogen economy.

Daimler Truck has signed an MoU with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Hamburg’s HHLA to explore a liquid hydrogen supply chain through the port – hinting it’s tired of waiting for infrastructure and is starting to move things itself.

Two new hydrogen refuelling stations will be built in Italy by mid-2026, as Cavendish Hydrogen expands its European network and Italy moves to meet EU AFIR targets for hydrogen mobility.

Helix Exploration says its Rudyard project in northern Montana shows evidence of naturally occurring hydrogen generation alongside helium, after studies by AIM GeoAnalytics and Durham University confirmed hydrogen-bearing minerals and a mantle helium signature.

Lhyfe has opened Germany’s largest renewable hydrogen site in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The 10 MW facility will produce up to 4 tonnes of RFNBO-certified hydrogen per day to supply H2 MOBILITY and industrial users across Baden-Württemberg.

BMW’s Leipzig plant will become the world’s first car factory supplied with hydrogen by pipeline, under new agreements with MITNETZ GAS and ONTRAS.

Uzbekistan has launched Central Asia’s first green hydrogen project, producing 3,000 tonnes a year for fertiliser, backed by ACWA Power, EBRD and global partners in an $88m investment.

The Netherlands has awarded over €40m to boost hydrogen transport, funding refuelling stations and vehicles as grid congestion drives demand for alternatives to electrification.

Europe’s hydrogen truck rollout needs €8/kg fuel, truck-scale stations and equal policy treatment with batteries, warns GHMA at EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels.
