CIL and AM Green Aim for India’s Largest RE Supply Contract to Produce Green Hydrogen and Ammonia
In what would be one of the world’s largest renewable energy contracts, Coal India Limited (CIL), plans to supply 4500 MW of carbon-free energy, in phased manner, to upcoming green ammonia facilities of AM Green. It would be through a combination of solar and wind whose capacities CIL
aims to set up on pan India basis. This initiative aligns with India’s national goal of achieving a cleaner energy mix and transition towards net-zero emissions.
A formal non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU), for long-term supply and sourcing of renewable energy, was inked on 7th May between the two entities.
While the solar power capacity would be to the tune of 2500 MW to 3000 MW, wind is expected to account between 1500 MW and 2000 MW at an estimated total outlay of around Rs. 25,000 Crores. Potential sites for wind projects will be explored in the southern states of the county. And, for solar plants in the sunny states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.
AM Green will integrate the two renewable sources supplied by CIL with pumped hydro storage to ensure a steady supply of green energy to AM Green facilities.
“While coal remains our mainstay in meeting India’s expanding energy needs in the near term, our plans include a proactive role in building a greener and more sustainable future. This is in consonance with our commitment to become country’s integrated energy provider” said P M Prasad, CIL’s Chairman.
AM Green promoted by the founders of Greenko, one of India’s leading energy transition solutions providers, targets to produce 5 million tons per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia by 2030. This equals to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen
and represents a fifth of India’s target for green hydrogen production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of the Hyderabad based Greenko Group & AM Green, said, “We are delighted to partner with CIL on one of the world’s largest carbon-free, renewable energy supply contracts. We aim to become one of the most
cost-competitive producers of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and other green molecules in the world”.

BASF becomes first producer of renewable ammonia in Central Europe
With two new renewable ammonia grades – renewable ammonia and renewable ammonia solution 24.5% – BASF further expands its sustainable product portfolio. BASF produces the renewable ammonia grades at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen by feeding hydrogen into the ammonia plant which reduces the plant’s natural gas consumption.
In BASF’s Verbund, hydrogen is produced from fossil as well as from renewable energy-derived sources. Via a mass balance approach, renewable energy-derived hydrogen is attributed to the renewable ammonia grades. They have been certified according to ISCC+ and can be used as ‘drop-in’ solution in the same reliable way as the conventional products. The renewable ammonia grades are available in usual bulk mode.

The ground-breaking ceremony for a new hydrogen fuelling station was held at Memmingen Airport
“Green Airport Memmingen” – under this motto, Memmingen Airport has been working on a sustainable aviation infrastructure for some time. Airport Energie Management GmbH (AEM), founded in 2017 as a joint subsidiary of Allgäu Airport GmbH & Co. KG and e-con AG, plays a central role in this.
After the construction of a heating plant powered by regional biogas and an electric charging station near the terminal, the construction of a publicly accessible hydrogen filling station has now begun, the AEM reported.
It is scheduled to go into operation this year and will be able to supply hydrogen-powered vehicles of various types, including trucks, garbage and construction vehicles, buses, cars, and special airport vehicles. Up to 250 tons of green hydrogen will be delivered annually at operating pressures of 350 and 700 bar.
Filling up with hydrogen is one thing, producing hydrogen is another: This is why Airport Energie Management GmbH is working on another major project, for which it recently received valuable support. A new electrolysis plant is expected to produce up to 1,300 tons of green hydrogen annually starting in 2027, which will supply not only the new filling station, but also regional companies and, in the long term, air traffic, which is expected to rely on sustainable fuel. Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy, Hubert Aiwanger, recently presented the corresponding funding certificates. As part of the Bavarian funding program for electrolyzers, five million euros are being invested in the project at Memmingen Airport. According to Aiwanger, the new plants, for which around 150 million euros have been made available across Bavaria, are intended to enable a sustainable electrolyzer infrastructure in the Free State.

New hydrogen fuel cell truck at Wiedmann and Winz from the end of 2026
Wiedmann & Winz is one of five companies worldwide testing the hydrogen fuel cell truck GenH2 from Daimler Truck. But this is just the beginning: we will also be involved in Daimler’s upcoming ‘Pegasus’ hydrogen project with 100 heavy-duty trucks.
‘Customers who want to be at the forefront of the drive revolution will be able to test the future of road freight transport with us from the end of 2026,’ says Dr Micha Lege, Managing Director of Wiedmann & Winz. The background to this is Daimler Truck’s future project for hydrogen-powered lorries. With the ‘Pegasus’ project, the Swabians are planning to put a total of 100 fuel cell trucks with the new generation of fuel cells from Cellcentric on the road. The project is being subsidised with 50 million euros as part of the IPCEI funding from the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate as well as the federal government.
Naturally, we want to operate some of the lorries in this future-oriented project and make them available to our customers. We know that: More and more companies want sustainable transport alternatives. This is because they reduce indirect emissions along the value chain and help to achieve the Scope 3 targets.
Wiedmann & Winz will therefore continue to use HVO diesel trucks (up to 90 per cent lower CO2 emissions), vehicles with battery-electric drives or hydrogen-powered trucks in future, depending on customer requirements.
Meanwhile, Wiedmann & Winz has had very positive experiences with the GenH2 hydrogen fuel cell truck from Daimler Truck, which is close to series production. ‘The GenH2 is very stable and has never let us down,’ says Micha Lege enthusiastically about the vehicle, which has been in use in a pilot project for port operator DP World since July 2024. But that’s not all: ‘Ranges of more than 1,000 kilometres are possible with the GenH2. What’s more, refuelling only takes around 15 minutes,’ says Micha Lege. There are also no restrictions on the payload. ‘The 40-tonne truck can carry a payload of 25 tonnes, so the GenH2 is on a par with a diesel truck in many respects.’

COOLERGY presents its new hydrogen fuel cell power generator in the ports of Riga, Barcelona and Narva Yacht Club
Riga Port and COOLERGY conducted the first test charging of ship batteries in Latvia using a mobile hydrogen power generator COOLERGIZER
Riga Port Group, a leading operator, developer and investor of port assets and companies related to rail transportation in Latvia, and the European COOLERGY, specializing in hydrogen solutions, organized the first ever test charging of ship batteries using a mobile hydrogen fuel cell power generator in the Port of Riga.
Kirill Lyats, CEO of COOLERGY:
Finally, our beloved Free Port of Riga. The place where TGM4 locomotives will start working in the coming year, which we are currently converting to liquid hydrogen together with Operail in Tapa( Estonia). As is known, the Port adopted a program several years ago, according to which carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere should be reduced to zero by 2030.
And the progress of the Port is obvious. We were presented with a 200 kW electric vessel that runs on batteries. Unfortunately, the power of our Coolergizer was not enough to charge this boat, but we swore on our word of honor in hydrogen that by the end of this year we will make a special Coolergizer to charge such a powerful unit.
However, we managed to connect to the auxiliary vessel and recharge its batteries. We certainly see great potential for using Coolergizer for river and sea consumers, which could be a transitional stage to the widespread introduction of liquid hydrogen as a bunker for large vessels and gaseous hydrogen for small boats.”
The COOLERGY team previously reported that on April 22, 2025, they began the “Big Hydrogen Journey” with COOLERGIZER from Tallinn to Madrid. The Riga port was the team’s second stop.
And the first seaside stop was the Narva Yacht Club (Estonia, Narva-Jõesuu Jahtklubis ).
Kirill Lyats, CEO of COOLERGY:
“Local yacht enthusiasts gathered and watched with interest the charging of the power unit of one of the yachts.
We discussed with the head of the club the possibility of further cooperation, including the placement of a houseboat in the marina that runs on hydrogen and, in principle, the operation of small vessels using hydrogen as a bunker.”
One of the following seaside stop was the Port of Barcelona, where COOLERGIZER was presented to employees of the key seaport in Spain.
Kirill Lyats, CEO of COOLERGY:
“Barcelona is the largest Port of Spain and the most advanced. I remember that it was one of the first ports in the world to start bunkering ships with LNG.
A month ago we visited our colleagues in the Barcelona port, discussed their sustainability program until 2050 and promised to return with Coolergizer. We returned. We discussed. We presented.
Now the next step is to start using such chargers, possibly with greater power, to provide mooring power for ships and yachts in the port.
As we understand, about 15% of superyacht and commercial vessel owners are interested in connecting to green electricity. Only Coolergizers fueled with green hydrogen can provide such distributed charging at the port’s dispersed berths.
Therefore, our goal is to deliver Coolergizers to the ports of Spain, Latvia and Estonia this year – countries where we are actively working today and where we will be able to ensure our own hydrogen supplies in the near future».
The presented COOLERGIZER has an output power of up to 40 kW with the possibility of increasing to 80 kW, as well as a voltage of 27 to 380 V. It is designed for autonomous power supply or recharging of objects remote from public networks and without access to green energy.

Insplorion officially launches the Insplorion NPS-P2 hydrogen detector
Insplorion, an innovative hydrogen sensor company, announced the official launch of the Insplorion NPS-P2 hydrogen detector.
The Insplorion NPS-P2 has been developed to detect hydrogen quickly and selectively in low-oxygen (inerted) environments to enable safe and efficient hydrogen systems in safety-critical applications. With a response time under 5 seconds, it is one of the fastest hydrogen sensors on the market. The NPS-P2’s uniqueness has already been confirmed by several orders from customers in various industries even before today’s official launch.
“This clearly marks a milestone in Insplorion’s history as the first hydrogen sensor reaches market maturity. Going from prototype to product in only two years is great evidence of Insplorion’s ability to work fast and adapt to market needs. The market response we receive in ongoing dialogues makes us confident that both the NPS-P2 and its timing is right.” Says Johan Rask, CEO at Insplorion.
Inerting an environment is a common safety barrier used to prevent explosive atmospheres in case of a hydrogen leak. Nevertheless, it remains critical to monitor the environment. Until this moment, it has been very difficult to detect hydrogen directly in a low-oxygen environment. Now, Insplorion NPS-P2 changes the way safety systems can be designed which enables safer and more efficient hydrogen applications.
In addition to detecting hydrogen in low oxygen environments, NPS-P2 outperforms current hydrogen detectors on the market when it comes to detection speed and selectivity – properties that are crucial in a broad range of hydrogen applications.
These new sensing properties and improved detection performance are made possible by Insplorion’s Nano Plasmonic Sensing (NPS), an optical and versatile technology that detects hydrogen basically independently of other gases.
The Insplorion NPS-P2 will be officially showcased for the first time during the exhibition at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam 21-22 May.

GP JOULE’s project to produce green hydrogen in Gersthofen has received funding from Bavaria
GP JOULE’s project to produce green hydrogen in Gersthofen has received funding from the Free State of Bavaria: Hubert Aiwanger, State Minister for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, presented the funding certificate on Monday in Munich. This marks the launch of HY.Gersthofen and the clean and reliable supply of green hydrogen to industry and small and medium-sized businesses in the Augsburg region.
Companies from Swabia – and beyond, of course – will soon be able to obtain sustainable hydrogen directly from the region. The Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy is providing five million euros in funding for the development of hydrogen production in Gersthofen.
With the Bavarian Electrolyzer Funding Program, the Free State of Bavaria is supporting the development of a renewable hydrogen production infrastructure to partially meet future demand in Bavaria and accelerate the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy.
“With the new electrolyzers, we are laying the foundation for a strong domestic hydrogen economy,” emphasized Aiwanger during the award ceremony: “GP JOULE impressively demonstrates how important progress can be achieved with innovative strength and entrepreneurial drive. GP JOULE intends to make the hydrogen produced available for refueling at its own public hydrogen filling stations, which are funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Furthermore, the green hydrogen will also be made available to regional industry. The company is thus making a tangible contribution to the decarbonization of our economy. I would like to thank those responsible for the project for their commitment.”
Gersthofen is part of the Augsburg metropolitan region and has good access to renewable energies, a strong demand for green hydrogen, and will soon have its own district heating network. Ideal conditions for the project.
The planned 10-megawatt electrolysis plant is expected to produce 900 tons of green hydrogen per year starting in 2027. That’s enough to fuel approximately 30,000 trucks or produce 15,000 tons of green steel. The plant is powered by green electricity from solar and wind power, including from the Via Claudia solar park in Gersthofen. The plant also generates approximately 10,000 megawatt hours of waste heat, equivalent to the annual heat demand of 600 single-family homes. This waste heat will also be utilized: The city of Gersthofen plans to fully integrate the resulting waste heat into the new municipal heat planning and purchase it.

Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) announced the launch of a new commercially focused Toyota Hydrogen Solutions webpage as a business hub for those interested in Toyota’s hydrogen-related products, services and solutions. The new site will offer product information, provide case study examples, and offer contact information to help customers find products that offer them a pathway to reduce their emissions using Toyota’s proven hydrogen-powered fuel cell technologies.
The new website was announced at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, where Toyota is showcasing how fuel cell technology can be used as a source of cleaner power to generate electricity to power devices and vehicle powertrains. Many of these fuel cells are already helping Toyota reduce emissions across its supply chain, and now Toyota is offering North American customers the ability to help them do the same.
Applications for fuel cells include stationary power generation capabilities, Class 8 semi-truck powertrains, modular commercial systems power and other innovations.
“While Toyota continues to offer its hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric technology in vehicle powertrains, we are more than a powertrain supplier,” said Jay Sackett, TMNA R&D chief engineer of Advanced Mobility. “We aim to provide a host of efficient solutions that help get work done. This new website is a clear indication that we are open for business and eager to offer technologies to benefit our customers.”
Today, Toyota’s fuel cell stacks can be found in a host of products, from the 2025 Toyota Miral FCEV sedan to quietly replacing diesel engines as backup power generators. Toyota fuel cells are also employed as powertrains in heavy machinery such as port and cargo-handling equipment and even passenger buses – emitting only water vapor.
Fuel cells work by binding Earth’s most abundant element, hydrogen, with oxygen to create electricity. Gaseous hydrogen can be found naturally or produced by processing water through an electrolyzer. It can also be processed from natural gas or steam-reformed methane, which can be sourced from water treatment centers and landfills.
“Toyota Hydrogen Solutions is here to offer society a proven technology and a pathway to a potentially cleaner fuel source,” said Thibaut de Barros Conti, TMNA general manager of Fuel Cell Solutions and Hydrogen Headquarters co-lead. “Using these technologies, with Toyota activating with key partners in the H2 supply chain, opens a clear path for a more sustainable hydrogen ecosystem.”
TMNA has been developing hydrogen fuel cell technologies in the U.S. for more than 30 years. The 2015 Toyota Mirai sedan was the first mass-produced fuel cell electric vehicle to go on sale to the public. Since then, the Gardena, California-based Hydrogen Headquarters (NA H2HQ) office has expanded operations and use cases and has performed vigorous tests with fuel cells in temperatures lower than -20° Fahrenheit in Canada to nearly 150° in Death Valley.
Globally, Toyota has sold more than 2,700 commercial fuel cell units to more than 100 customers. Toyota has prepared to assemble fuel cell module kits domestically in Georgetown, Kentucky.
