India Weighs Green Hydrogen Mandates as Installed Renewables Surge but Demand Signals Lag
India added more than 49 GW of non fossil fuel capacity in 2025, lifting total installed clean power to 266.78 GW, yet the country’s green hydrogen ambitions remain constrained less by generation than by demand certainty.
Nigeria Bets on Carbon Markets to Unlock Billions as Climate Finance Architecture Takes Shape
Carbon markets remain a marginal contributor to global climate finance, but Nigeria is positioning them as a material revenue stream within its broader energy transition strategy.
Chile’s rapid buildout of solar and wind has exposed a structural constraint that capacity additions alone cannot solve: curtailment and volatility in a grid dominated by intermittent generation.
Root-Power has obtained planning permission on appeal to develop a £45 million, 100MW battery energy storage system near Kegworth in Leicestershire, marking a significant step in the region’s shift away from fossil fuels.
Fusion Fuel Launches €30M Hydrogen Platform as Europe Searches for Bankable Project Models
Fusion Fuel’s decision to launch a €30 million green hydrogen investment platform signals a shift toward financing structures aimed at managing project risk and accelerating investment decisions rather than simply expanding hydrogen capacity ambitions.
UK Tests Limits of Second Life EV Batteries as Grid Storage Moves From Pilots to Assets
Second life electric vehicle batteries are edging closer to commercial relevance in the UK energy system, but questions around performance consistency, integration risk, and long term value remain unresolved.
Africa’s green hydrogen pipeline tells a story of scale without execution: while developers have announced roughly 38 gigawatts of planned clean hydrogen capacity across the continent, only about 17 megawatts are currently operational.
BP’s decision to write down up to $5 billion from its gas and low carbon energy division places a hard number on what has been an increasingly visible problem for the company: its early and aggressive push into renewables has failed to deliver competitive returns relative to its peers.
Renewables Add Capacity Faster Than Jobs as Automation and Geopolitics Reshape Energy Workforce
Global renewable energy capacity continued to expand at record pace in 2024, yet employment growth lagged far behind, rising just 2.3 percent year on year to 16.6 million jobs, according to the Renewable Energy and Jobs Annual Review 2025 published by the International Renewable Energy Agency and the International Labour Organization.
Fortum Backs Steady Energy’s SMR for District Heating as Nuclear Heat Moves Closer to Commercial Reality
Fortum’s framework agreement with Helsinki-based Steady Energy highlights how established nuclear operators are positioning themselves to support heat-focused small modular reactors, with operational credibility and regulatory confidence becoming as critical as reactor design.
