Sierra CP Engineering supports UK's £500m hydrogen investment

Station every 200km from 2030 Two new hydrogen refuelling stations are set to be built in Italy by the middle of 2026, adding a small but meaningful boost to the country’s early hydrogen mobility network. The project, announced by Denmark-based Cavendish Hydrogen, will supply the equipment for what it described as “an Italian customer with a leading position in the fuel and transport services sector.” Constructed by the end of 2026 Construction and commissioning are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2026, after which the sites will enter service under a two-year maintenance agreement. It will take Cavendish’s Italian presence to three locations in total - hardly a flood, but a sign that the groundwork for hydrogen mobility in southern Europe is slowly taking shape. Italy’s network remains limited, with only a handful of public stations currently open, though the government’s national recovery plan sets aside around €3.6 billion for hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure over the coming years. “Cavendish continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in hydrogen mobility solutions across Europe,” said CEO Robert Borin.

Cadent’s 140 km East Coast hydrogen pipeline, backed by a £96m Ofgem boost, could be a step‑change for UK hydrogen. It creates a backbone capacity, de‑risks electrolysers and offtake, accelerates cluster growth, and strengthens supply‑chain demand. There are mixed views on the suitability of Hydrogen to displace fossil fuels, but could Ofgem’s support set a regulatory precedent that will speed investment and deliver industrial decarbonisation across the UK and Europe? https://lnkd.in/ei4pQNEe #hydrogen #energytransition #decarbonisation #lowcarbon #infrastructure #UKenergy #EuropeEnergy #hydrogeninfrastructure

🔗 Honored to be quoted in Hydrogen Central’s latest piece spotlighting Hitachi Energy’s role in shaping the future of hydrogen infrastructure. ⚡ At World Hydrogen Week 2025, the message was clear: infrastructure isn’t just a support system, it’s the launchpad for hydrogen’s success. Reliable grids, advanced power conversion, and cross-border energy exchange are the backbone of decarbonization and the enablers of green hydrogen at scale. 💬 As I shared during the event, “Infrastructure readiness is crucial to unlocking hydrogen investments. Leveraging existing assets can speed up deployment and keep costs down.” The consensus was strong: integrating electrons and molecules is essential — and collaboration across sectors and borders is non-negotiable. 🌍 From Hyvolution Chile (https://lnkd.in/e4Jgs4M8) to Copenhagen, Hitachi Energy continues to be recognized as a key player in the hydrogen segment, turning vision into action with real-world solutions. 🤝 Because in the race to decarbonize, no single player wins alone, success is built on teamwork, trust, and shared ambition. Together, we are stronger!

Several large energy storage and manufacturing projects lost government funding after an evaluation found that progress and accountability targets were not being met. The decision reflects growing scrutiny of public investments in emerging technologies and the need to ensure measurable outcomes in projects aimed at strengthening domestic clean energy supply chains. It also underscores the importance of transparent performance standards and the challenges of scaling new industrial sectors while maintaining public trust and fiscal responsibility. https://lnkd.in/d5HQWJQx #renewables #power #energy #wind #offshore #onshore #solar #bess #hydropower #floating #nuclear #geothermal #efficiency #transition #sustainability #circular #economy #esg #clean #decarbonization #electrification #climate #hydrogen #mobility #greensteel #ammonia #transportation #storage #fuelcell #smartgrid #der #powersystem #generation #transmission #distribution #electricity #machines #drives #sensors #iot #education #engineering #innovation #entrepreneurship #creativity #technology #digitalization #cybersecurtity #metering

GHD Secures US Patent for Integrated #Hydrogen Fueling, #EV Fast Charging and Backup Power Forecourt--Global engineering and advisory firm GHD has been granted a US patent for its multi-functional hydrogen and electric forecourt system — a first-of-its-kind design that integrates hydrogen dispensers for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) with a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) #fuelcell stack, supplying both DC fast charging for EVs and stationary backup power. The patented configuration delivers a shared-energy model that enhances both project feasibility and operational economics by allowing one site to serve multiple clean mobility and energy applications. Key innovations include: 1️⃣ Multi-Functional Integration — Seamless delivery of hydrogen refueling, EV charging, and critical backup power. 2️⃣ Versatility and Cost Efficiency — The addition of PEM fuel cells improves forecourt profitability by enabling multiple revenue streams. 3️⃣ Energy Storage Capability — Stored hydrogen provides power resilience during grid outages, supporting emergency and critical-use EV fleets. “Providing this innovative approach to real world applications has resonated with several clients that we have offered the use of the patent to, and we expect to see project rollouts coming to market,” said Fred Taylor, patent co-author and Hydrogen Lead for the Americas. “Our approach not only caters to and promotes multiple markets but also presents opportunities for product line development and portfolio station services.” GHD’s design addresses one of hydrogen’s biggest challenges — forecourt economics. With limited FCV adoption in most markets, single-use hydrogen stations struggle to reach commercial viability. The company’s patented system bridges this gap by integrating EV charging and backup power, ensuring higher asset utilization while positioning hydrogen as part of a multi-energy transition pathway. The patent also encompasses on-site electrolysis for hydrogen generation, tackling scaling mismatches between early-stage hydrogen demand and standard large-scale electrolyzers. The concept enables smaller, modular installations that evolve alongside FCV fleet growth, reducing unit costs and improving system efficiency. With operations across five continents and 4,500 professionals in the Americas alone, GHD is leveraging its patent to support client projects in mobility, utilities, and critical infrastructure, creating what could become the model for future hybrid hydrogen-electric forecourts.

The concern expressed in a recent joint letter is that without urgent action, the UK risks over-reliance on battery-electric solutions, which could lead to significant grid constraints, rare earth dependency, reduced fleet productivity, and loss of competitiveness to international markets already scaling hydrogen deployment. The Hydrogen Energy Association and its partners have offered to convene a cross-sector taskforce with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Transport to present case studies, international examples, and investment requirements. A full report of findings will be published later this year.

Vema Hydrogen joins California public hydrogen programme with its EMH technology: Vema Hydrogen has been named a qualified supplier by the First Public Hydrogen Authority to deliver clean hydrogen at industrial scale to California’s public and private infrastructure.

💡 From trial to transition: The UK has achieved a key hydrogen milestone by injecting 2% green hydrogen into its national transmission system for the first time. The trial proves the grid can safely handle hydrogen blends without new pipelines, a critical step toward scalable, low-carbon energy use across Europe. Next up? Higher blends, tougher materials, and hydrogen-ready infrastructure.
