The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says that by 2050 US hydrogen production will increase by around 80%, mainly of natural gas with minimal use of electrolyzer, while important players in industry promote large -scale green hydrogen projects and expand the support of hydrogen vehicles on world markets.
The eiaAn agency of the US government said that in most scenarios for the American hydrogen market, production will rise by around 80% in 2050 compared to 2024, with the most hydrogen (Heper) coming from natural gas via steam methaan reform (SMR). “In most cases we project less than 1% of hydrogen produced via electrolyzers, which use electricity to produce hydrogen from water, regardless of supporting policy,” said The agency noted that his scenarios reflect the conditions before the election of US President Donald Trump. The report said that the volume of gray hydrogen produced in 2050 is dependent on oil and gas prices, the chemical market and the demand. The EIA added that hydrogen consumption mainly rises in the transport sector when policy standards stimulate the use of fuel cells in heavy vehicles, but the growth continues to neglect without such a policy.
Statkrraft Has confirmed his plans for the Shetland Hydrogen Project 2 after he has agreed to lease a site owned by the Shetland Islands Council in the United Kingdom. “The proposed diagram is an electrolytic hydrogen to green ammonia production facility of a maximum of 400 MW, on land adjacent to the non -used Scatsta Airport near the existing Sullom VOE -Ollieterminal and Shetland gas factory,” said Norwegian energy company. It said that the green ammonia will also be used for sustainable fuels for marine shipping and to disconnect the production of fertilizers. Statkraft has three wind farms on Shetland in pre-construction: Mossy Hill near Lerwick, and Energy Isles and Bewe Field on Yell. “The construction of diagrams such as Shetland Hydrogen Project 2 will make it possible for surplus renewable power that cannot be used by the grid to be converted into hydrogen.”
Geopura has acquired assets in Denmark and hired staff of Green Hydrogen Systems (GHS), which has been established the basis for European expansion. According to the Agreement, Geopura has the property of all spare parts, tools and luminaires related to the A-series Elektrolyzer platform. “In addition, former GHS employees with deep technical expertise in the support, design and operation of A-series Electrolyzers have become a member of the Geopura team,” ” said The British company.
Horizon fuel cell group Said it has acquired the intellectual property of Hyzon Motors in the US to continue to serve customers of Hyzon’s hydrogen vehicles in the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. “Hydrogen is the ultimate clean solution for transport with long distance and other activities with heavy vehicles, and will soon be financially more attractive than alternatives to diesel or battery,” said George Gu, chairman of Horizon Fuel Cell Group.
Hyundai Motor Group Said that, in collaboration with Neom’s Energy and Water -subsidiary Enowa, it has completed a trial period of hydrogen mobility in Trojena in the mountains of Neom. “The group operated its hydrogen cell electric vehicle (FCEV) Coachbus, universe, on a mountainous route in Trojena, and achieved increases up to 2,080 meters and gradients of 24%. Simulation of passenger transport of Neom’s future core company district to Trojena, the test of the high vehicle performance and the practice of the hydrogen,” “” said Hyundai engine. The South Korean group started the commercial sale of the 2026 model of the fuel cell bus of the universe, which has a reach of a maximum of 960.4 kilometers.
Rolls-Royce Has formed a strategic partnership with the German Ineratec to replace fossil diesel in emergency power systems of data centers with synthetic fuels produced from renewable hydrogen and CO₂. “The companies intend to use the synthetic e-diesel of Ineratec for generators. Initially the focus will be on German data centers,” ” said Ineratec, adding that the synthetic fuels are a cost -efficient solution.
