A new study published in Energy & Fuels estimates that U.S. data center power capacity will increase from 40 GW in 2025 to 169 GW by 2030, more than quadrupling within five years as AI computing requirements continue to accelerate.

Germany’s rapid expansion of renewable electricity is driving equally strong demand for battery energy storage, as grid congestion, renewable curtailment, and increasing system flexibility requirements reshape investment priorities.

Germany’s growing renewable electricity surplus has created an increasingly expensive challenge for grid operators. As wind and solar generation outpaces transmission capacity in certain regions, particularly in northern Germany, renewable electricity is frequently curtailed to maintain grid stability.

India’s green hydrogen auctions have rapidly driven production prices toward globally competitive levels, but a new analysis suggests those economics may depend heavily on access to Chinese electrolyzer technology.

Germany’s proposed overhaul of electricity network charges has triggered concern across the hydrogen industry, with developers warning that extending grid fees to electrolysis could undermine the economics of renewable hydrogen production.

The United Kingdom has emerged as one of the first countries pursuing two fundamentally different pathways to commercialize small modular reactors.

In Colombia, state owned energy company Ecopetrol and Germany’s development agency GIZ have launched a two year feasibility study for a pilot power to liquid facility that could produce electro sustainable aviation fuel at the Cartagena refinery, signaling growing international interest in Latin America as a future supplier of synthetic fuels.

Carbon accounting is rapidly becoming a mainstream business practice across Mexico’s logistics sector, with the share of companies measuring their greenhouse gas emissions rising from 22 percent in 2023 to 55 percent in 2025, according to the fourth National Study of Logistics Indicators.

The Dutch government is committing €450 million ($515 million) to develop the Netherlands’ first underground hydrogen storage cavern, underscoring a growing recognition across Europe that hydrogen production targets cannot be achieved without parallel investment in storage infrastructure.

China’s electrolyzer industry has entered a new phase of global expansion. Publicly available shipment data show Chinese manufacturers exported at least 321.25 MW of electrolyzers during the first half of 2026, compared with just 18.5 MW during the same period in 2025.
