China has developed a compressed air energy storage compressor exceeding 100 megawatts of single-unit power, a scale that begins to address one of the core constraints of CAES deployment.

Oxford-based SAF start-up Oxccu has begun supplying its pilot facility with green hydrogen, replacing grey hydrogen volumes previously used in its fuel synthesis process, as it seeks to validate lifecycle emissions reductions alongside process efficiency.

ACWA Power’s Innovation Days 2026 in Riyadh resulted in 27 strategic partnership agreements with international universities, technology suppliers, and research institutions, signaling a deliberate effort to systematize technology development rather than rely solely on incremental improvements within existing assets.

Aypa Power, a utility-scale energy storage and hybrid renewables developer backed by Blackstone, has closed a USD 1.5 billion debt financing facility aimed at accelerating the construction of its battery energy storage system portfolio through 2028.

Chile’s Ministry of Energy has launched a public consultation on the updated National Green Hydrogen Strategy 2026–2030, signaling a recalibration of the country’s ambitions six years after the original roadmap.

India’s lithium ion battery waste is projected to rise sharply this decade as electric vehicle adoption and stationary storage deployments scale, with industry estimates indicating end of life volumes will move from pilot scale to industrial scale well before 2030.

Cement remains one of the most difficult industrial sectors to decarbonize, accounting for roughly 7 to 8 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, largely due to process emissions inherent to clinker production.

ACWA Power’s memorandum of understanding with EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg, Rostock Port, and VNG outlines a proposed green ammonia supply corridor from Saudi Arabia to northern Germany, positioning ammonia cracking as a gateway for large-scale hydrogen imports into Europe’s core gas network.

Britain’s battery storage pipeline continues to pivot toward contractual structures that prioritize operational control over outright asset ownership, as Drax Group enters a 10 year tolling agreement tied to Fidra Energy’s 250 MW 500 MWh West Burton C battery project.

RWE is set to construct a 400-megawatt battery storage facility on the former Dralon GmbH site in Lingen, Lower Saxony, marking the largest installation of its kind in the region.
