"I think there's a preconception in a lot of places that fuel cells versus battery electric vehicles is the right conversation. I disagree with that. Fuel cell electric vehicles offer a very distinct set of advantages for certain use cases. In other cases, battery electric vehicles will be a very strong option. Our focus should be on removing internal combustion engines and moving toward a situation where we have a zero carbon solution for all of mobility."

Nel ASA: Establishes joint venture to supply green hydrogen to Hyundai trucks in Norway
Nel Fuel AS, a subsidiary of Nel ASA today announces the establishment of Green H2 Norway, a joint venture together with H2 Energy AS (H2 Energy), Greenstat AS (Greenstat) and Akershus Energi Infrastruktur AS (Akershus Energi). Green H2 Norway will establish renewable hydrogen production facilities in Norway to supply hydrogen to Hyundai trucks which are expected in Norway from 2020.

Platts launches first US and European hydrogen assessments
"We estimate that a shift to zero-carbon hydrogen in existing applications, along with modest penetration in gas pipelines and trucks, can reduce global energy combustion CO2 emissions by more than 7%," said Roman Kramarchuk, head of energy scenarios, policy and technology, S&P Global Platts Analytics.

Cheaper catalyst can generate hydrogen in a commercial device
Researchers have shown for the first time that a cheap catalyst can split water and generate hydrogen gas for hours on end in the harsh environment of a commercial electrolyzer -- a step toward clean, large-scale hydrogen production for fuel, fertilizer and industry.
H2 Economy Today
We examined the 14 countries at the forefront of hydrogen innovation to understand the ways they are already adopting and investing in hydrogen across sectors, and to what extent they are doing so.
BDR Thermea Group receives first hydrogen certification in the Netherlands for its domestic boilers
Kiwa, the independent testing, inspection and certifying body, has approved BDR Thermea Group’s range of Remeha domestic gas boilers in the Netherlands for up to 20 percent hydrogen admixture. Adding hydrogen from renewable sources into the natural gas supply is expected to reduce carbon emissions by around 8 percent, and so contribute to the energy transition.

HYDROGEN COUNCIL AND EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK SIGN ADVISORY AGREEMENT TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE WITH INCREASED INVESTMENT IN HYDROGEN
The Hydrogen Council, a global initiative of CEOs representing energy, transport, and industry organisations advocating for the accelerated deployment of hydrogen solutions, and the European Investment Bank (EIB), one of the world’s largest providers of climate finance, today signed a landmark agreement to collaborate on the development of innovative schemes to finance hydrogen projects to address climate change.
Why Power-to-Gas May Flourish in a Renewables-Heavy World
While still in its infancy, power-to-gas provides a promising approach to convert renewable power into “green” hydrogen and methane, furnishing the renewables sector with a potentially lucrative array of end-uses. A newly announced set of dramatically larger and ambitious projects indicate it has made serious inroads within the energy transition.

“Our findings confirm the prediction that the production and application of hydrogen will develop just as rapidly in the next decade as was the case with wind and solar energy in the nineties,” Reichelstein said.

The EU can use hydrogen to stop climate change and create jobs
The other reason hydrogen energy is so interesting is that costs have come down dramatically — the cost of producing it from renewable power was 40 times as expensive as the equivalent amount of oil in 2000 and 15 times in 2010. Today we are looking at hydrogen energy being twice the cost of oil, and there is a clear path towards getting a figure as low as half.
