Enowa, the energy, water and hydrogen subsidiary of mega Saudi futuristic city NEOM, has announced that it has commissioned a new power substation at Oxagon, thus increasing the manufacturing and innovation city's available electricity capacity to 3.15GW.
European electrolyser manufacturers currently have enough capacity to meet near-term hydrogen orders, but a shortage of investable projects is leaving factories underused and putting the region’s 2030 hydrogen ambitions at risk, according to a report by the Energy Industries Council (EIC).
The Middle East conflict has disrupted hydrogen-based supply chains critical to fertilisers, refining and chemicals, exposing vulnerabilities. While global hydrogen demand exceeded 100 million tonnes in 2025, high costs and infrastructure gaps continue to hinder low-emissions hydrogen growth.
Companies and individuals driving progress in the hydrogen sector were recognised at the World Hydrogen Awards 2026, held in Rotterdam alongside the opening day of the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition at the Ahoy Rotterdam complex.
Clean hydrogen will grow 100-fold by 2060, driven by energy security and China’s scale. Investments will reach $3.2 trillion, with strongest demand from steel, aviation and maritime despite policy and electrification challenges, according to DNV forecasts.
Krohne Middle East has announced that it is advancing its Resilient Technology Webinar Programme with a new series of expert-led sessions focused on hydrogen, marine efficiency, and produced water management, three critical areas shaping the region’s industrial future.
Eclipse Energy and Wood have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the commercialisation and global deployment of subsurface hydrogen production.
UMOE Advanced Composites has started production at its new Jiaxing facility, its largest site, producing gas storage modules and MEGCs for hydrogen transport, including supplying the Hiringa Sundown Joint Venture’s GEGHA project in Australia.
Abdul Latif Jameel Motors signed an MoU with France’s EODev and UAE’s Octopian to promote hydrogen-powered generator solutions in Saudi Arabia, supporting zero-emission energy. The partners will collaborate on introducing, demonstrating, and localizing EODev’s hydrogen power technologies in the Kingdom for a sustainable energy transition.
Hydrom, Oman’s government entity for hydrogen development, has signed an agreement with the private sector. This agreement will facilitate the management of wind measurement stations to support renewable energy resource measurement, essential for planning green hydrogen projects in Oman.
