H2SITE has entered into a strategic agreement with Petronor to deploy membrane-based hydrogen separation technology at refinery scale, targeting improved process efficiency and enhanced carbon capture potential.

Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels, long constrained by low efficiency and unclear mechanisms, is being advanced by researchers at Chiba University through the isolation and quantification of the interaction between photocatalytic and photothermal effects in CO2-to-methane conversion.

Australia’s hydrogen project pipeline continues to prioritize large headline capacities while relying on staged deployment to manage cost and demand uncertainty, a dynamic reflected in Edify Energy’s newly approved green hydrogen development in Queensland.

Federal hydrogen policy in the United States is entering a phase of recalibration rather than wholesale reversal, with approximately $5 billion in hydrogen hub funding now set to be retained or modified under a revised review by the Trump administration, according to an Energy Department list shared with House Appropriations Committee members.

TSR Group and BASF have established a cooperation framework aimed at expanding and integrating battery recycling capacity across Europe, focusing on dismantling, material recovery, and reintegration of recovered metals into industrial supply chains.

In the first quarter of 2026, Tesla regained the global pure electric vehicle leadership position after reporting a 6.5 percent year on year increase in deliveries for the three months ending March, according to industry data cited in the IndexBox report.

Henkel has introduced updated mid-term sustainability targets extending to 2030, building on its existing net-zero ambition for 2045 and reflecting a shift toward more structured value chain intervention rather than incremental operational efficiency gains alone.

KGAL GmbH & Co KG and PtX Development GmbH have acquired a majority stake in a green hydrogen project at the Lubmin site on Germany’s Baltic coast, taking control of an initiative originally developed by Lhyfe and reinforcing investor commitment to scaling large-scale hydrogen production in strategically positioned energy transition hubs.

Schneider Electric and Microsoft have announced a collaboration focused on AI-powered, software-defined automation systems aimed at improving operational efficiency in hydrogen production and broader industrial decarbonization.

Electricity systems with rising shares of weather-dependent generation face growing real-time flexibility demands as grid operators manage supply-consumption imbalances amid accelerating electrification, a challenge now tested in Sweden through Vattenfall, Energy Bank, and Volkswagen’s large-scale vehicle-to-grid deployment featuring approximately 200 bidirectional chargers across central and southern regions.
