The Netherlands is witnessing a shift in energy storage strategies as Greenchoice and Invest-NL invest in Zhero Systems, a producer of circular energy storage systems built from reused lithium-ion cells.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, has intensified engagement with international research and hydrogen policy organizations, signaling a move from long-term target setting toward managing execution and system level risks.

South Korea’s coal phase down is exposing a practical challenge that extends beyond power markets. What happens to the land, labor, and grid assets built around large thermal power plants.

Japan added roughly 3 GW of battery energy storage capacity across utility scale and distributed assets by the end of 2024, according to industry estimates, but participation has remained concentrated among power companies, developers, and trading houses.

CF Industries’ decision to halt a planned 20 MW green hydrogen project at its Donaldsonville ammonia complex underscores the widening gap between early green hydrogen ambitions and projects that can clear today’s cost and policy hurdles.

Electrifying industrial process heat is already cheaper than fossil gas in parts of Europe, even under today’s unfavorable electricity pricing.

NORDHORDLAND & Gulen Interkommunale Renovasjonsselskap IKS has awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to Nordic Bulk AS for a new soil waste and aggregates washing plant, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

MASPV and Shanghai Shaanyao Group are structuring the acquisition and development of a portfolio of green hydrogen projects in Spain with a combined value exceeding €1 billion, signaling a shift from early-stage announcements toward capital-intensive delivery. The collaboration, which also involves renewable energy company Eontsing, reflects a broader trend in Europe’s hydrogen market: Asian industrial players are increasingly targeting jurisdictions where permitting frameworks, renewable resources, and port infrastructure are sufficiently advanced to support near-term deployment. Spain, particularly Andalusia, has positioned itself at the front of that queue. The alliance strengthened its industrial presence in southern Spain following a series of…

Cummins has decided to halt hydrogen electrolyzer production at its facility in Oevel, ending nearly 25 years of activity at the site formerly known as Hydrogenics. According to labor unions, around 100 jobs will be lost, adding to roughly 100 positions already cut by the end of 2024 as the company downsizes its hydrogen business.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an electrolyte architecture that enables protons to conduct charge via a “hopping” mechanism, offering an alternative to volatile, flammable liquids that dominate conventional battery designs such as lithium‑ion.
