China’s involvement in Arctic mining has become a focal point of international economic and geopolitical discussions, particularly as the melting ice presents new opportunities and challenges. According to recent data, the Arctic region has emerged as a battleground of geostrategic interest, driven by the competition for critical mineral resources amidst diminishing ice cover. Despite China’s notable presence in global mineral extraction activities, its Arctic investments are limited and their growth is stalling, with notable pullbacks in certain regions due to economic, political, and operational challenges. One striking statistic from recent studies shows that Chinese investments have covered only approximately 2%…

Europe’s battery storage sector is entering a period of rapid scale-up, with annual deployments set to climb from 11 GW in 2024 to 16 GW in 2025, a 45% year-over-year increase, according to new forecasts from Wood Mackenzie.

Germany has taken a significant step toward establishing a continental hydrogen corridor, with gas grid operator Gascade announcing the conversion of a 400-kilometer high-pressure natural gas pipeline to transport low-carbon hydrogen from the Baltic Sea southward.

India’s electric vehicle battery demand is projected to expand from 17.7 GWh in 2025 to 256.3 GWh by 2032, according to a new report from Customized Energy Solutions (CES). The scale of this projected growth, reflecting a 35% CAGR, signals a fundamental restructuring of India’s automotive sector as electrification becomes economically and politically inevitable. Rising fuel prices, accelerating model launches, and ongoing policy incentives continue to drive domestic EV adoption, but CES argues that battery-chemistry innovations are becoming the decisive factor shaping competitiveness. The report highlights next-generation LFP (lithium iron phosphate) and NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) chemistries as the primary drivers of…

At H2MEET, where innovation claims often outpace proof, Korea GASGEN did not hesitate to position itself as a contender in the hydrogen compression race.

At this year’s H2MEET, amid the usual claims of “next-gen solutions,” one booth drew a surprising amount of curiosity, not because of bold branding or flashy displays, but because the company behind it insisted they had built something essential that no one else in the market has: a helium purifier designed for cryogenic condensing, paired with a hydrogen compressor capable of reaching 1,000 bar.

At H2MEET, where compressors and storage tanks dominate the conversation, Rheonik Korea took a different angle: the point where hydrogen actually meets the vehicle.

At H2 MEET 2025, VINSSEN unveiled what could be a quiet game-changer in hydrogen fuel cell technology: carbon-fiber bipolar plates for PEM fuel cell stacks.

At H2 MEET 2025, South Korea–based GPhilos presented one of the more assertive performance claims in the green hydrogen sector: producing 1 kg of hydrogen using under 50 kWh of electricity.

At H2MEET, where hydrogen compression is often framed as a race toward higher pressures and larger systems, Koder Engineering presented a quieter but more technically deliberate proposition: hydrogen compression controlled by airflow, engineered around purity rather than brute force.
