Hydrogen and derivatives weekly 2026-W45

RWE and Kawasaki began trial operation on 6 November of a 34 MW turbine at the Emsland power station in Lingen, fuelled with hydrogen from the GET H2 Nukleus electrolysers next to the plant and tested up to 100 percent hydrogen.

Specification coverage — core basis (car, truck, bus, rail × BEV, FCEV): 13 of 127 (10%). Old basis (all segments and technologies): 13 of 155 (8%). The core share is higher because ship, aviation and the hydrogen derivatives left the core, not because more figures were found.

Electro Mobility core

Car, truck, bus and rail. Symmetric across both lines: identical definitions, bases and boundaries. Only this layer feeds convergence. This edition shows no convergence value: that is measured in the quarterly layer.

New registrations

First registrations of new units of a technology in a segment and region during the period [valid_from, valid_to].

What could not be found

An empty cell is a finding. Each gap names where the agent looked.

Checked, unchanged

Technology depth

Asymmetric by nature: specific to hydrogen and derivatives, and not used in any comparison.

The week's movements

• 2026-11-06 RWE and Kawasaki commenced trial operations at Lingen with a 34 MW gas turbine that can run on natural gas, hydrogen or any mix; the hydrogen is produced in the GET H2 Nukleus electrolysers next to the plant, and the trial tests generation with up to 100 percent hydrogen (RWE press release of 6 November, read in full on the publisher's page). [12] verified
• 2026-11-05 thyssenkrupp nucera commissioned a chlor-alkali plant for Kutch Chemical India in Padana, Gujarat, rated at 220,000 metric tons of caustic soda a year (company press release of 5 November, read in full on the publisher's page); chlor-alkali electrolysis, not a green-hydrogen order. [13] verified
• 2026-11-03 Following the Federal Network Agency's capacity tender, RWE won three hydrogen-compatible gas-fired power station projects in North Rhine-Westphalia (Voerde, Weisweiler, Werne) of about 2,100 reduced megawatts in total, and plans to invest around EUR 9 billion in flexible generation, battery storage and hydrogen production by 2031 (RWE press release of 3 November, read on the publisher's page).

Watchlist

Caveats

Prices. Spanish day-ahead is the mean of 672 quarter-hour OMIE prices (marginalpdbc, Spanish field); German day-ahead is the DE-LU bidding zone mean of 672 SMARD quarter-hour prices, confirmed by the Energy-Charts API. TTF is a news-stream level of a contract for difference, recorded as an upper bound and unverified: two items on the same page give 'below 88' and 'around 86' for the same Friday and are not reconciled; the ICE and EEX primary pages are script-rendered. The EUA cell stays empty: the EEX auction report gives auction clearing prices, not front-month futures, and the metric has no qualifier that declares the instrument.

Registrations. Spanish hydrogen registrations come from ANFAC/IDEAUTO (a republication of DGT data, status reported); the category 'Hidrogeno' does not separate fuel cell from combustion. The KBA October FZ 28 workbook and the 1 October and 1 November FZ 27 workbooks were not yet published on 9 November. ACEA disallows automated access; its values enter only through the manual fragment, which reports 'Others' (fuel cell together with gas, LPG and ethanol), not fuel cell.

Reach. Most operator and trade-press sources could not be read in this run: the newsrooms of Moeve, Repsol, Iberdrola, Enagas, Shell, bp, Linde, Salzgitter, thyssenkrupp Steel, EWE, Lhyfe, Uniper, ArcelorMittal, Plug Power, ITM Power and Sunfire, the project sites, the European Hydrogen Observatory, Hydrogen Europe (HTTP 403) and the IEA (HTTP 403) refuse or cannot be reached through the proxy; pv magazine, gasworld and Hydrogen Insight disallow automated access; the Siemens Energy press hub renders nothing without JavaScript. Read: RWE, Nel, thyssenkrupp nucera, HydrogenPro, Topsoe, and the DG Energy news and Hydrogen Bank pages. Cells for which only a search returned nothing are recorded as source_blocked, not as quiet.

Week's event. The event is the RWE and Kawasaki hydrogen turbine trial of 6 November (primary, read). Runners-up: RWE's 3 November award of three hydrogen-compatible power stations (about 2,100 reduced megawatts; not a hydrogen production milestone) and thyssenkrupp nucera's 5 November chlor-alkali commissioning (chlor-alkali, not green hydrogen). Search results mentioned HH2E insolvency, E.ON and other cancellations without a date inside the window or a readable publisher page; they are not recorded.
