In 2026, a new regulatory landscape awaits the Netherlands as it aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) by mandating that significant industrial hydrogen consumers incorporate renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) into their operations. This legislation imposes a specific renewable integration percentage on industrial consumers exceeding a set annual hydrogen consumption threshold. Although the objective is clear, execution presents numerous hurdles, particularly stemming from infrastructural limitations, with the Dutch hydrogen grid’s full operation only expected by 2032—seven years post-legislation effect. Central to these regulations is the renewable hydrogen booking registry. Here, hydrogen produced from renewable electricity…

The recent announcement of Sungrow Hydrogen capturing the largest bid share in China’s National 100,000-ton Green Methanol Project signifies a critical juncture in the Green Hydrogen sector. As nations worldwide strive to achieve carbon neutrality, China’s initiative could position the country as a leader in sustainable fuel technology by leveraging cutting-edge hydrogen production methods. The project aligns with China’s ambitious carbon-neutral goals, scheduled for 2060, by integrating green hydrogen into industrial applications. Current projections indicate that China’s burgeoning renewable energy market, valued at approximately $156 billion, will see hydrogen assume a pivotal role within the next decade. Green hydrogen production,…

SMA Solar Technology, through its subsidiary SMA Altenso, has reached a significant milestone. The recent progression into the gigawatt realm highlights SMA’s capabilities in integrating renewables with hydrogen technologies. Central to this development is the container solution that facilitates the conversion of alternating current into direct current, enabling efficient electrolysis for hydrogen production. This advancement is poised to power Namibia’s Cleanergy Solutions project, furthering SMA’s reputation as a trailblazer in sustainable energy applications. Data from the Namibia project reveals an ambitious integration of photovoltaics, battery storage, and hydrogen production. Altenso’s strategic commitment is clearly underlined by its expansive portfolio, consisting…

The World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition, the largest global event on hydrogen projects, policy and technology, will take place in Europe’s hydrogen hub, Rotterdam from 20-22 May 2025.

Western Australia (WA) has been an outlier in the national trend of reducing reliance on gas, notably increasing its consumption since FY2020.

In Greece, a critical development unfolds as Hellenic Hydrogen AE, a joint venture between Motor Oil and DEI (Public Power Corporation), gears up for the operational launch of its green hydrogen production plant, North 1, in Amyntaio by the end of 2027.

As the demand for sustainable air travel technologies intensifies, the Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. This collaboration aims to pioneer eco-friendly hydrogen airport solutions, representing an essential leap towards reducing carbon footprints in aviation.

California’s energy storage landscape is poised for significant growth as San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has secured approval to expand its battery storage capabilities at a key site. The energy provider is set to increase its storage capacity to 231 megawatts (MW), a move that highlights the escalating momentum in renewable energy infrastructure development. The approval comes at a time when California is intensifying its focus on renewable energy sources. With a reported target to procure 1,325 MW of energy storage by 2020, as stipulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, the state is leading efforts to integrate large-scale…

Deep-tech startup Thorizon has secured €20 million in funding to accelerate the development of its advanced molten salt reactor, Thorizon One.

Palisades Nuclear Plant has signed an agreement to construct an innovative small modular reactor (SMR), marking a significant departure from traditional nuclear facilities. This development positions Michigan at the forefront of the nuclear renaissance, with the potential to significantly alter the state’s energy matrix. Despite the hype surrounding SMRs, experts remain cautious, scrutinizing their effectiveness compared to established nuclear technologies. While traditional reactors have a tested history of power output and operational stability, SMRs promise compact design, scalable deployment, and enhanced safety features. However, questions about the true cost-effectiveness of these reactors persist. According to a recent United States Department…
