From Coal to Hydrogen: Wallsend’s Legacy of Powering Industry

Over a century ago, the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Electric Supply Company ran a 1912 advert promoting the North East as the ideal place for industry with cheap power, great transport links, and skilled labour. Swap "coal" for "hydrogen", and that message still rings true today.

Types of Hydrogen: Renewable, Low-Carbon, and Fossil-Based Explained

When we talk about hydrogen, it would be more accurate to talk about the different forms of hydrogen. According to its production method, hydrogen can be more or less clean because the production processes of this molecule vary. That is why we speak of renewable, low-carbon, or fossil-based hydrogen (or green, blue or grey hydrogen). But what is it really about?

Lhyfe Granted Planning Permission for Green Hydrogen Production Site in Wallsend 

Newcastle, UK – 19 June 2025 – Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE), one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen is pleased to announce that it has been granted planning permission for a green hydrogen production facility in Wallsend, North Tyneside, a significant milestone in its UK journey.

Deutsche Bahn’s first hydrogen trains

Deutsche Bahn Energie has launched an innovative project in Tübingen: to run hydrogen trains on renewable hydrogen, produced by a Lhyfebox and stored in a station before powering the trains.

Vendée: the emergence of a renewable hydrogen sector in the region

The Vendée region has the ambition to install and develop a renewable hydrogen sector in its territory. It was one of the pioneers in that direction.

Lidl opens the first hydrogen logistics platform

Lidl is proud to open the first green hydrogen logistics platform in Europe in Carquefou. With 98 operational handling machines, Lidl believes in green hydrogen to optimize its logistics and reduce its CO2 emissions.

What is renewable hydrogen and what steps does its production involve?

Renewable hydrogen or green hydrogen is an energy-carrying gas that emits no CO2, either during its production or when used.

It is obtained by electrolysis of water. This chemical process consists of breaking down the water molecule (H₂O) into di-oxygen (O₂) and di-hydrogen (H₂) using an electric current…

How is renewable hydrogen transported? What can it be used for?

Once compressed and purified, the hydrogen we produce is delivered either directly by pipe to industrial sites or by truck.

To keep environmental impacts to a minimum and to respect our commitment to producing completely environmentally friendly hydrogen, Lhyfe restricts delivery of hydrogen by truck to within a 200 km…

Which industries use hydrogen? For what purposes?

For decades, hydrogen has been used extensively in a great many industrial applications, such as hydrocarbon refining, the production of ammonia and other chemicals, as well as materials processing.

Ninety-five percent of the hydrogen currently used by these industries is made using a process involving the steam reforming of…
