China is using renewable electricity mandates and national grants to push demand for clean hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels. Heavy industries now face binding renewable power targets, while green methanol, carbon capture, SAF, and zero-carbon parks can access national support. The policies could help shift China’s huge hydrogen market away from coal and gas.
Colorado created a new SAF purchase tax credit starting in 2027. The law repeals the state’s SAF facility construction credit and shifts support from production to demand. Buyers can receive at least $1.50 per gallon, with higher credits for lower-carbon fuel.
Ballard will acquire GeoPura in a deal valued at about US$400 million. The acquisition expands Ballard into hydrogen-based stationary power, energy-as-a-service, hydrogen production, logistics, refueling, and fuel cells. GeoPura’s customers include major companies using zero-emission hydrogen power for construction, events, defense, healthcare, and data center applications.
Puro.earth says Frontier approved its 2025 enhanced rock weathering methodology for suppliers under Frontier’s carbon removal commitments. The methodology adds stronger measurement, sampling, carbon-loss accounting, and uncertainty rules for ERW credits. It is Puro.earth’s second Frontier-approved methodology after Geologically Stored Carbon.
Plug Power completed commissioning of a 5 MW PEM electrolyzer at European Energy’s Måde Power-to-X facility in Denmark. The site is now producing certified renewable hydrogen and is expected to make about 550 metric tons annually. The project supports Europe’s green hydrogen buildout and industrial decarbonization.
BNDES and Petrobras selected Systemica, brCarbon, and re.green for the first ProFloresta+ auction. Petrobras will buy 5 million Amazon restoration carbon credits from the projects. The program could eventually support up to 15 million credits and restore 50,000 hectares of degraded Amazon land.
Targray is partnering with LF Bioenergy to supply dairy-based renewable natural gas to Canadian customers. LF Bioenergy will produce RNG from dairy cow manure, while Targray supports offtake, procurement, and compliance. The deal aims to expand RNG access across Canada’s industrial, commercial, and transportation markets.
FuelCell Energy and Fit Energy signed a deal for up to 380 MW of clean on-site power for data centers. The first 30 MW is expected to begin delivery this year. The deal supports behind-the-meter power for AI and digital infrastructure using fuel cell technology.
