HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) have received an Approval in Principle (AIP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a floating power module powered by a small modular reactor (SMR).

Tesla is deepening its presence in China with a RMB 4 billion (USD 556 million) investment in its first grid-connected energy storage project on the mainland.

As Oman ramps up its ambition to produce up to 8.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2050, a new study suggests that retrofitting the country’s natural gas pipeline infrastructure could provide a cost-effective and technically viable solution for hydrogen transport—both domestically and for export.

India’s accelerating green hydrogen ambitions took a technical leap on June 23, 2025, as Adani Enterprises commissioned the country’s first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat.

Poland’s Orlen Group has secured PLN 1.7 billion (approximately $459 million) in non-repayable funding from the National Recovery Plan to accelerate development of its hydrogen production portfolio.

Amid mounting pressure from falling power prices and geopolitical volatility, Norwegian utility Statkraft has unveiled a strategy to reduce its annual operating expenses by 15%—equivalent to approximately NOK 2.9 billion (USD 290 million)—by 2027.

As global industries push to decarbonize, the high cost and limited durability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts remain persistent obstacles in scaling green hydrogen production. But new research from Sweden’s Umeå University suggests that a subtle atomic-level tweak may offer a path to lower-cost, high-performance electrolysers that can endure industrial conditions—without reliance on expensive precious metals.

Germany’s ABO Energy GmbH & Co KGaA has officially brought its first green hydrogen facility online, marking a pivotal step in the company’s diversification beyond wind power.

India’s commitment to scaling up energy storage capacity has taken a major step forward with the expansion of its Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme to support 30 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), nearly tripling the size of its earlier initiative launched in 2023.

National Gas and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a cross-border pipeline between the United Kingdom and Ireland capable of transporting 100% hydrogen—marking a pivotal step toward a regional hydrogen economy.
