Aluminum is becoming an increasingly important decarbonization target for electric vehicle manufacturers because its production is energy intensive and the metal is used extensively in lightweight vehicle structures and battery related components. Mercedes Benz and Norwegian aluminum producer Hydro are now expanding their partnership to increase the use of recycled and low carbon aluminum across the automaker’s European supply chain, with the first step involving Hydro’s Hydro CIRCAL material in series production of Mercedes Benz’s next generation of large electric vehicles. The shift is significant because the new material contains at least 75 percent post consumer recycled aluminum, compared with…

India Introduces Electrolyzer as a Service Model to Lower Green Hydrogen Investment Barriers
India is expanding its policy toolkit for green hydrogen by addressing one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: the high upfront cost of electrolyzer deployment.
AI Data Centers Could Drive U.S. Power Demand to 169 GW by 2030 as Study Highlights Carbon Capture Potential
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.
Jinko ESS and Eturn Expand Utility Scale Battery Storage With 40 MWh Project in Germany
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 Redispatch Markets Could Cut Green Hydrogen Costs by Nearly €2 per Kilogram, Study Finds
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 Ambitions Face Cost Reality as Chinese Electrolyzers Strengthen Global Advantage
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.
German Grid Fee Reform May Have Smaller Impact on Green Hydrogen Costs Than Industry Claims
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.
UK Pursues Two Diverging SMR Strategies as Westinghouse AP300 Challenges State Led Nuclear Model
The United Kingdom has emerged as one of the first countries pursuing two fundamentally different pathways to commercialize small modular reactors.
Ecopetrol and Germany Explore Colombia’s First E-SAF Pilot as Global Demand for Synthetic Aviation Fuel Grows
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.
