US engineering giant KBR has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for a proposed liquid hydrogen (LH2) import and liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) export terminal at the Port of Amsterdam.

Technip Energies has taken a minority equity stake in the DEZiR project, a synthetic aviation fuel (eSAF) facility under development in Rouen, France, signaling a strategic push into Europe’s decarbonized aviation sector.

Rugendorf-based Münch Energie Group has commissioned a 500-MWh battery energy storage system in Saxony-Anhalt, positioning the facility as Germany’s largest contiguous battery storage cluster currently in operation.

Toyota Motor Europe has announced a new Circular Factory in Wałbrzych, Poland, designed to process up to 20,000 end-of-life vehicles annually and recover both components and critical materials for reuse.

Canadian Solar has secured a 500 MW, 2,493 MWh battery energy storage system agreement through its e-STORAGE division, targeting infrastructure that supports data center reliability and grid resilience.

thyssenkrupp nucera has secured a front-end engineering design contract for a 260 MW green hydrogen project in India led by Juno Joule Green Energy Private Limited, where it will integrate alkaline water electrolysis into the plant’s infrastructure.

Tesla and LG Energy Solution (LGES) are expanding their U.S. battery manufacturing footprint with a $4.3 billion lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic cell facility in Lansing, Michigan, aimed at supporting Tesla’s Megapack 3 energy storage systems.

The UK’s ambitious target to reach net zero emissions by 2050 is pushing industrial sectors to explore unconventional pathways for decarbonization, with hydrogen emerging as a central lever.

The European hydrogen market continues to rely on public funding to close cost gaps, with the European Commission approving a €440 million Spanish state aid scheme targeting renewable hydrogen production.

Europe’s carbon management strategy is increasingly shifting toward large-scale storage infrastructure, with Greece positioning itself as an emerging hub as the Prinos CO₂ Storage Project moves into front end engineering design. The project, led by EnEarth with engineering contractor Kent, targets handling capacity of up to 2.8 million tonnes of CO₂ per year by 2029, placing it among the more advanced carbon capture and storage developments in Southern Europe. The Prinos project stands out in a European context where permitting remains a bottleneck. It is the first CO₂ storage development in the Mediterranean to secure both environmental and storage permits,…
