The Winter 2025 issue of Global Hydrogen Review features in-depth analysis of emerging hydrogen regions, including the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Europe, alongside case studies on hydrogen hubs, natural hydrogen exploration, and large-scale storage in salt caverns. It also examines the technologies enabling safe and efficient deployment, from liquid organic hydrogen carriers and specialised valves to advanced analysers, flow measurement, AI-driven optimisation, and digitalisation in hydrogen production.

This month's front cover is brought to you by Endress+Hauser.

A new energy chapter
Miro Cavkov, Euro Petroleum Consultants (EPC), discusses how the Middle East and Africa are positioning themselves as dominant players in the global clean energy transition.

Charting a path through APAC’s new energy commodity economy
Thomas Koller and Keelan O’Neil, DNV, navigate the balance of production, transport, and use to strengthen connectivity across Asia Pacific’s clean energy economy.

Beneath our feet
Andrew Hume, Thor Energy PLC, analyses the rise of natural hydrogen and South Australia’s leadership in the sector.

Going for gold
Owain Jackson, H2Au, explores the potential of gold (also known as white or natural) hydrogen as a clean fuel and the importance of actively searching for it.

Maintaining momentum in hydrogen research
Phil Longhurst, Cranfield University, UK, considers how hydrogen research centres can maintain momentum amidst setbacks and challenges posed by global policies.

Unlocking Europe’s hydrogen future
Valentina Di Mauro, Honeywell, UK, discusses why liquid organic hydrogen carriers present a scalable, infrastructure-ready solution for Europe’s hydrogen economy.

Lessons from the field
Jeff Grant, HTEC, Canada, outlines the important considerations involved in building a hydrogen hub for heavy-duty transport, using the Metro Vancouver area as a case study.

Material matters
Mario Esche, Herose, Germany, explains the development process behind designing specialised valves for safe and reliable use in hydrogen systems.

Caverns of opportunity
Bilal Hassan and Nigel Curson, Penspen, UK, analyse the potential of salt caverns in providing long-term, cost-effective hydrogen storage.

Staying on the path
Adam Schleyhanhn, Fluid Components Intl, a Dwyer Omega Brand, discusses hydrogen gas flow measurement and functional safety on the pathway to net zero.

Safety meets efficiency
Gregory Shahnovsky, Gadi Briskman, and Gregory Yakhnin, Modcon Systems Ltd, UK, discuss how advanced analysers and AI-driven optimisation can enable safe, efficient, and cost-effective hydrogen production.

Digital duplicates
Menica Antonelli, Daniela Boni, Salvatore Romagnuolo, and Nicola Tamburriello, KT Tech S.p.A, a NEXTCHEM company (MAIRE group), consider how digitalisation tools can be transformative for hydrogen production in chemical plant operations.
