Global primary energy intensity, the key metric for measuring improvements in energy efficiency, is projected to rise by 1.8% in 2025, according to the IEA’s latest Energy Efficiency 2025 report, an improvement from 1% in 2024 but still far below the 4% annual increase agreed at COP28 for 2030.

EnergyPathways’ newly announced non-binding cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy positions compressed air energy storage (CAES) as a potential tool for absorbing surplus renewable electricity and delivering multi-day, low-carbon power, a capability conventional battery systems cannot economically provide at scale.

Daimler Truck’s second phase of customer trials for the Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck arrives at a moment when heavy-duty decarbonization strategies are increasingly shaped by data from real-world operations rather than controlled test environments.

China’s carbon dioxide emissions were unchanged year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, extending an 18-month period of flat or declining output that began in March 2024.

The global build-out of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is rapidly shifting from project-by-project procurement to multi-gigawatt platform agreements, a trend underscored by the recently announced Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Trina Storage, a division of Trinasolar, and Pacific Green Energy Group.

ACCIONA Energía’s plan to install a 1GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its 238MWp Malgarida photovoltaic complex reflects a broader shift in Chile’s solar-heavy power market: the need to convert daytime oversupply into flexible, dispatchable capacity.

The search for scalable, low-cost pathways to green hydrogen has intensified as electrolysis-based production confronts rising electricity costs and infrastructure constraints.

Air Liquide has taken a critical step toward resolving one of the hydrogen sector’s most persistent bottlenecks: long-distance transport at scale.

India’s green hydrogen sector is confronting a structural slowdown, with 94% of planned production capacity still at the announcement stage despite extensive policy signaling and investor interest.

China’s push into green hydrogen production is gaining tangible momentum as state-owned oil and gas major Sinopec awards tenders for its 240 MW Uxin Banner Integrated Wind-Solar-Hydrogen Project in Inner Mongolia.
