Egypt is positioning itself as one of the most aggressive emerging market contenders in the global green hydrogen race, leveraging low-cost renewable energy potential and access to major shipping corridors to attract international industrial investors.

Austrian energy group OMV is investing €65 million in a new innovation and development hub at its Schwechat site near Vienna, targeting technologies ranging from green hydrogen to carbon utilization and biotechnology.

Global electronic waste exceeded 60 million metric tons annually in recent years, yet only a limited share is formally recycled, leaving substantial volumes of recoverable nickel, cobalt, and other battery metals unused.

A proposed €2 billion green hydrogen development in Ukraine’s Volyn region illustrates how logistics and existing gas infrastructure are increasingly shaping project economics as much as renewable resource quality.

Wholesale electricity prices in Greece are increasingly falling to zero or negative territory during daylight hours, forcing renewable energy curtailments across the grid and exposing a structural imbalance between renewable deployment and system flexibility.

Fortescue’s private mining grid in Western Australia is now operating with 2.3 GW of generation capacity and more than 5 GWh of battery storage, yet its most consequential shift is not scale but control.

UK consortium has secured funding through the Battery Innovation Programme to develop a localized recycling pathway aimed at retaining critical battery materials within the national economy.

Wärtsilä has joined the H4PERION initiative, a four-year program backed by Horizon Europe, to test hydrogen-based combustion systems under real operating conditions. Led by the University of Vaasa, the project aims to address a central constraint in maritime decarbonization. While alternative fuels such as ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen are advancing at the conceptual and pilot stages, their integration into existing propulsion systems at scale remains limited by safety, efficiency, and operational reliability challenges. The H4PERION framework targets these gaps by focusing on internal combustion engine adaptation rather than complete system replacement, a strategy that reflects both cost considerations and the…

With electricity demand rising and cross-border congestion increasingly constraining renewable deployment, the European Commission has opened a €600 million funding call targeting strategic energy infrastructure across the bloc.

Swiss Geo Energy has secured a surface exploration permit in the Canton of Vaud to assess natural hydrogen, helium, and deep geothermal resources within a single integrated program, marking a first for Switzerland’s subsurface development strategy.
