As U.S. electricity demand rises and supply chains for critical minerals tighten, national laboratories are accelerating research on alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.

Premier Green Innovations Pvt Ltd (PGI) and technology developer Entity-1 have signed a three-year, Rs 500 crore agreement to build a refinery network that converts agricultural and industrial residues into hydrogen, methanol, and ethyl acetate.

The circular economy isn’t just another buzzword cluttering your LinkedIn feed—it’s reshaping how smart companies tell their stories. And frankly, most are getting it wrong. That’s why Circular Business Review (CBR), a platform known for dissecting—not celebrating—circular economy claims, has partnered with Energy News, the global energy sector’s go-to source for news, analysis, and strategy on energy transition. Together, they’re building a content alliance designed to confront the widening gap between decarbonization promise and the material, infrastructural, and lifecycle performance that actually moves the needle. This is not about amplifying sustainability slogans—it’s about asking the uncomfortable questions your competitors hope…

Australia’s ambitions to establish itself as a hub for e-fuels production have taken a step forward, with HIF Global confirming that its proposed $2 billion green hydrogen–based methanol facility in Tasmania will now be built on the site of the former Burnie paper mill rather than its previously selected location in Hampshire.

AI-driven data centers are emerging as one of the fastest-growing loads on global electricity systems, with some forecasts warning that U.S. facilities alone could add up to 50 GW of demand by 2030—equivalent to the consumption of every household in California.

Poland-based Hynfra and the Government of Mauritania signed a Framework Agreement for the development of a $1.5 billion integrated green ammonia facility.

The SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar Group (SHS Group), which includes Dillinger, Saarstahl, and ROGESA, has signed a decade-long agreement with France’s Verso Energy for the annual supply of at least 6,000 tons of renewable hydrogen.

The race to scale up Europe’s hydrogen economy has gained new momentum as AquaVentus, Germany’s offshore wind-to-hydrogen initiative, and Hydrogen Scotland signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen cooperation on green hydrogen production, transport, and deployment across the North Sea region.

For much of the twentieth century, energy systems operated under vertically integrated utilities that planned, dispatched, and balanced power and gas flows under a single hierarchy. Liberalization in the 1990s dismantled these structures, replacing internal engineering coordination with fragmented interactions across generators, grid operators, retailers, and aggregators. Today, decarbonization multiplies the challenge, adding new vectors—hydrogen, district heating, and electrified transport—that must synchronize with an already stressed electricity system. The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies argues in its September 2025 paper that the binding constraint of the energy transition is no longer technology cost but coordination under complexity. The analysis highlights…

The Netherlands has awarded €551 million in funding to RWE for its planned 100-MW OranjeWind electrolyzer in Eemshaven, marking one of the largest single-project hydrogen subsidies issued under the SDE++ climate transition scheme.
