H-Power has secured a contract to supply 5,000 kg of fuel cell-grade green hydrogen to Protium in UK. The sale follows regulatory approval from the Environment Agency allowing H-Power to supply hydrogen from the facility to third-party customers until August 2026. The hydrogen, produced from bio-ammonia, meets ISO 14687 Grade D standards with 99.97 percent purity, making it suitable for PEM fuel cell applications.
In addition, the companies have signed a 12-month agreement to establish a virtual hydrogen depot at H-Power’s Dunsfold site. H-Power is also progressing development of its HY5 decentralised ammonia cracker, capable of producing up to 500 kg of hydrogen daily. The containerised unit, scheduled for launch by the end of 2026, is designed to deliver low-cost fuel cell-grade hydrogen and is positioned as an alternative to a 1.2 MW electrolyser.
In May 2026, the 30 MW Barrow Green Hydrogen project in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, reached final investment decision (FID). The project is being delivered by Green Hydrogen Energy Company, a joint venture of Schroders Greencoat and Carlton Power. The project will supply c100 GWh of green hydrogen annually to Kimberly-Clark’s manufacturing facility in Cumbria. Furthermore, Plug Power will provide 30 MW of GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers for the project.
