India added more than 49 GW of non fossil fuel capacity in 2025, lifting total installed clean power to 266.78 GW, yet the country’s green hydrogen ambitions remain constrained less by generation than by demand certainty.

Carbon markets remain a marginal contributor to global climate finance, but Nigeria is positioning them as a material revenue stream within its broader energy transition strategy.

Chile’s rapid buildout of solar and wind has exposed a structural constraint that capacity additions alone cannot solve: curtailment and volatility in a grid dominated by intermittent generation.

Root-Power has obtained planning permission on appeal to develop a £45 million, 100MW battery energy storage system near Kegworth in Leicestershire, marking a significant step in the region’s shift away from fossil fuels.

Fusion Fuel’s decision to launch a €30 million green hydrogen investment platform signals a shift toward financing structures aimed at managing project risk and accelerating investment decisions rather than simply expanding hydrogen capacity ambitions.

Second life electric vehicle batteries are edging closer to commercial relevance in the UK energy system, but questions around performance consistency, integration risk, and long term value remain unresolved.

BP’s decision to write down up to $5 billion from its gas and low carbon energy division places a hard number on what has been an increasingly visible problem for the company: its early and aggressive push into renewables has failed to deliver competitive returns relative to its peers.

Fortum’s framework agreement with Helsinki-based Steady Energy highlights how established nuclear operators are positioning themselves to support heat-focused small modular reactors, with operational credibility and regulatory confidence becoming as critical as reactor design.

China’s power grid operators have reduced fault response times to roughly 0.1 seconds, a performance threshold that highlights how system stability, rather than generation capacity alone, is becoming the limiting factor in highly electrified economies.

PuriFire Energy has obtained funding from the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) for its WoodVALOR project, aiming to transform contaminated waste wood into higher-value products using advanced bio-processing technologies.
