Innovation News NetworkEuropean Hydrogen Week 2026: Scaling hydrogen, strengthening resilienceHydrogen Europe CEO Jorgo Chatzimarkakis outlined the themes for European Hydrogen Week 2026, emphasizing the sector's shift from technological development to scaling industrial deployment and strengthening energy resilience. The event will feature discussions on transforming research into commercial viability, with key speakers including representatives from Thyssenkrupp, RWE Generation, and EU officials.NewsHydrogen Europe CEO calls for clean hydrogen targets beyond 2030The CEO of Hydrogen Europe, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, advocates for extending the obligations for clean hydrogen in the EU beyond 2030.EnlitThyssenkrupp’s López is new chair of Hydrogen EuropeHydrogen Europe has elected Miguel López, chief executive of Thyssenkrupp, as its new chair for a term running until June 2029, succeeding Air Liquide's Sebastian Boden. The appointment places a leading European industrial executive at the helm of the hydrogen industry association during a decisive phase in building Europe's clean hydrogen economy for industrial decarbonisation and energy security. Thyssenkrupp Nucera, through which Thyssenkrupp is already producing green hydrogen at industrial scale, underscores the company's active role in the sector.Hydrogen EuropeHydrogen EuropeHydrogen Europe announced the results of its recent board elections. Spain has authorized a $240 million reallocation for the Hy2USE project at the Castellón hydrogen hub.Pv-magazineThe Hydrogen Stream: EU inches closer to 4th hydrogen auctionThe European Commission is expected to publish the draft terms and conditions for the fourth auction of the EU Hydrogen Bank before the end of June, with the auction to launch before the end of 2026, according to Hydrogen Europe. The EU hydrogen market has become increasingly detached from Paris Agreement climate goals, with growth now driven primarily by geopolitical factors and energy resilience concerns rather than decarbonisation, the association's CEO said in Munich. Separately, Australia and Germany have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen bilateral hydrogen cooperation under H2Global, with each country contributing up to €200 million to purchase hydrogen products in Australia for resale in Germany.Hydrogen EuropeHydrogen EuropeHydrogen Europe's General Assembly elected six new members to its Board of Directors to help guide the association's strategy for clean hydrogen deployment. The new board includes representatives from Uniper, Snam, Alba Emission Free Energy, Thyssenkrupp Decarb Technologies, BMW, and DWV Germany. This leadership update aims to accelerate the industrial scale adoption of hydrogen to create a more resilient and competitive European energy sector.FuelcellsworksHydrogen Infrastructure Recognition in EU Grids PackageHydrogen Europe and other industry organizations issued a joint statement calling on EU legislators to ensure hydrogen infrastructure receives equal treatment with electricity infrastructure in the EU Grids Package, including equal permitting procedures and recognition as an overriding public interest. The statement advocates for better framework conditions for hydrogen network planning, cross-border infrastructure, and integrated European energy corridors to support competitiveness, energy security, and decarbonisation. The organizations will use the statement to support ongoing engagement with EU institutions and Member States as negotiations on the Grids Package continue.Pv-magazineThe Hydrogen Stream: JCN launches hydrogen-powered backhoe loaderUK-headquartered JCB launched its first hydrogen-powered backhoe loader (3CX Hydrogen trio) as part of a £100 million ($135 million) investment in hydrogen engine technology, featuring a 55 kW hydrogen engine with composite tanks mounted on the cab roof. Multiple hydrogen projects advanced globally, including Syntholene's geothermal-integrated synthetic fuel demonstration facility in Iceland ahead of schedule for June 2026 operations, Solaris Bus & Coach's hydrogen buses debuting in Bologna with 127 units planned, a 200 MW electrolyzer project in Rotterdam progressing with first PEM arrays delivered, and green hydrogen collaborations in India (Ohmium/InSolare for NLC India) and Germany (Lhyfe/Strabag partnership). Hydrogen Europe Research also welcomed the University of Canterbury as its first New Zealand member, expanding its international research network to 30 countries.Balkan Green Energy NewsClean hydrogen can plug the gaps in a decarbonised energy systemThe author argues that as renewable energy scales across Europe, clean hydrogen will be essential for solving three key challenges: long-duration energy storage (since batteries cannot cover weeks or months), decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries like steel, shipping, and aviation where direct electrification is impractical, and meeting the growing electricity demands of data centers. The article acknowledges that Europe's hydrogen sector has developed more slowly than expected due to high production costs, regulatory fragmentation, slow permitting, and insufficient infrastructure. The author calls on EU policymakers to maintain regulatory clarity and infrastructure investment, asserting that hydrogen will become indispensable to Europe's competitive, autonomous, and climate-neutral energy system.gasworldEU hydrogen sector pushes for Brussels to protect projects from RFNBO changesHydrogen Europe, a lobby group, is urging the European Commission to provide grandfathering protections for green hydrogen projects that reach final investment decision before 2028, shielding them from upcoming changes to Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) criteria. The European Commission has confirmed it will review its RFNBO rules by Q2 2026 after industry pressure to relax electricity sourcing criteria for electrolysers. In a new position paper, Hydrogen Europe also recommends 20-year grandfathering clauses for low-carbon rules covering electrolysers, methane pyrolysis, and blue hydrogen projects.
