Saudi Arabia’s battery storage market is entering a new phase of industrial development as Chinese energy storage manufacturer ZOE Energy Storage moves to establish a large-scale battery energy storage system manufacturing facility in the kingdom.

Chile’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading green hydrogen exporters has reached a significant regulatory milestone with the environmental approval of the $2.5 billion Volta green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Mejillones.

Georgian officials have now indicated that a parallel green hydrogen pipeline is under consideration, potentially expanding the strategic scope of the Green Energy Corridor and positioning the region as a future exporter of both renewable electricity and low-carbon fuels.

The voluntary carbon market continues to shift away from short-term offset strategies toward durable carbon removal solutions, a trend underscored by a new agreement between carbon dioxide removal (CDR) provider Climeworks and Canadian financial institution TD Bank.

According to research from the Transport & Environment (T&E), only nine of the EU’s 27 member states offer a tax advantage for electric company cars that is large enough to offset the higher upfront purchase price of an EV.

South Africa’s battery energy storage market is gaining strategic importance as renewable energy deployment accelerates, but the country’s ambitions to build a domestic manufacturing ecosystem face the same structural challenges that have weakened much of its industrial base: high energy costs, inconsistent demand, and intense competition from low-cost imports.

Lhyfe and STRABAG have signed a strategic co development agreement aimed at accelerating green hydrogen projects in Germany, with potential expansion into other European markets over time.

Germany’s battery storage market has become one of Europe’s fastest growing energy infrastructure segments, driven by volatile electricity pricing, renewable energy expansion, and increasing demand for grid flexibility. But the sector’s rapid growth has also exposed how heavily investment momentum depends on regulatory predictability rather than technology costs alone.

Power to Hydrogen has secured a binding commercial order from SINTEF for a 0.5 MW anion exchange membrane electrolyzer system that will support a carbon utilization project in Tiller, Norway.

Nordic Solar has brought its first co located Battery Energy Storage System project into commercial operation in Tiste, Lower Saxony, combining a solar installation with an 11 MW / 22 MWh battery system.
