Description
Horizon Aircraft and ZeroAvia are teaming up to explore hydrogen-electric propulsion for next-gen eVTOL aircraft. Their collaboration focuses on integrating ZeroAvia’s hydrogen powertrain into Horizon’s Cavorite X7 for zero-emission regional air travel. This marks a key step toward clean, scalable aviation tech backed by regulatory and defense support.

Industrial facilities like steel and cement plants waste massive amounts of heat, despite soaring electricity costs. This wasted heat could slash hydrogen production expenses by powering high-efficiency electrolysis systems. Backed by funding and new tech, waste heat is becoming a key asset in the clean hydrogen economy.
New reports reveal BC’s strong potential to develop regional hydrogen hubs and infrastructure. The province’s innovation base and geography give it a competitive edge in clean hydrogen adoption. Strategic development could position BC as a national leader in the transition to net-zero.
Canada is investing nearly $16M in clean energy and carbon capture projects across the Maritimes. The funding supports grid modernization, solar development, and offshore carbon storage. These efforts aim to strengthen energy resilience and reduce emissions.
Google-backed Frontier is spending $1.7M on carbon removal credits from early-stage firms using ocean and mineral-based methods. These technologies aim to lock carbon in rocks, waste, or boost ocean alkalinity. The initiative helps scale promising solutions to meet global carbon removal targets.
IATA criticized the EU's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate as costly and environmentally ineffective due to low regional supply. Transporting SAF from Asia adds emissions, and limited availability has inflated fuel prices without real impact. IATA urges a reassessment of SAF targets and feedstock sustainability.
Stellantis is ending its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle program due to weak market prospects and infrastructure gaps. Production of hydrogen-powered vans in France and Poland will not proceed. The company will shift focus to electric and hybrid vehicles to meet CO2 regulations.
AmmPower signed an MOU with Klean Industries to advance distributed green ammonia production using waste-to-energy technologies. The collaboration supports flexible, carbon-free fuel solutions and hydrogen energy transport via green ammonia. The update also includes leadership changes and expanded focus on green hydrogen partnerships.
Chevron plans to build a $5B blue hydrogen and ammonia plant in Port Arthur, Texas, with construction starting in 2027. The project, called Project Labrador, aims to leverage tax credits and HyVelocity Hub funding to reduce costs. If completed on time, it could qualify for a $3/kg clean hydrogen production tax credit for 10 years.
North America is building a cross-border carbon infrastructure network through partnerships among the US, Canada, and Mexico. These projects include shared CCS facilities, pipelines, and coordinated regulations to accelerate decarbonization. Investments, tax incentives, and tech collaboration are transforming carbon into a continental commodity.
The shortened 45V tax credit window has made blue hydrogen more financially attractive than green hydrogen in the US. Developers are now accelerating blue hydrogen projects that can stack 45Q carbon capture incentives with existing infrastructure. This shift is expected to drive market momentum for blue hydrogen over the next 5–7 years.
