Oriental Weavers has completed independent verification of its full carbon footprint, reporting approximately 102,000 metric tons of CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a further 486,000 metric tons of CO2e from Scope 3 activities across its value chain.

Utility scale energy storage additions in the United States reached 58 gigawatt hours in 2025, a 30 percent year over year increase that pushed total installed capacity to 137 gigawatt hours, according to the latest data from Solar Energy Industries Association.

Natural hydrogen has reemerged as a niche but closely watched segment of the energy transition, driven by the prospect of bypassing electrolyzer costs that still dominate green hydrogen economics.

Tata Motors Limited has signed a memorandum of understanding with V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority to deploy 40 hydrogen internal combustion engine powered heavy duty prime movers at the port of Tuticorin over the next two years.

Ireland’s hydrogen ambitions are colliding with the realities of legacy gas infrastructure, and the Corrib terminal in County Mayo is emerging as a test case. Gas Networks Ireland confirmed it will assess the feasibility of producing green hydrogen at the Bellanaboy Bridge gas terminal. The pilot will be developed with the Corrib joint venture between Nephin Energy and Vermilion Energy. The partners plan to evaluate whether a demonstration scale electrolyzer can be integrated into the existing terminal, using domestically sourced wind power and leveraging Corrib’s direct connection to Ireland’s national gas transmission network. The focus on reuse is strategic. New…

During a recent visit to China alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, BMW Group CEO Oliver Zipse signed a memorandum of understanding with CATL, formalizing a partnership aimed at lowering the embedded carbon footprint of BMW’s electric vehicles by reworking battery sourcing and production processes.

Germany is preparing to classify hydrogen production as being of “overriding public interest,” a legal designation designed to accelerate permitting and implementation at a moment when the country’s hydrogen strategy is visibly off track.

Australia’s energy storage buildout is increasingly defined by a geographic and technological split. In New South Wales, the state government has elevated two pumped hydro proposals totaling 1.8 gigawatts to priority planning status, even as battery energy storage systems continue to dominate deployment elsewhere in the country.

Energinet has awarded a five-year Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management contract to Worley for Phase 1 of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone pipeline.

Europe’s largest business lobby, BusinessEurope, is calling for targeted reforms to the multi billion euro carbon market, arguing that the current trajectory risks accelerating deindustrialization at a time when energy costs and global competition are already straining manufacturers.
