The energy sector is grappling with significant challenges as it transitions towards low-carbon technologies and sustainable practices. In this context, the integration of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants with thermal energy storage stands out as a compelling opportunity, yet it is fraught with complexity.
Austria has taken a major step toward industrial decarbonization with OMV’s commissioning of the country’s largest green hydrogen plant.
Hy2gen AG has raised an additional €47 million in funding from its existing shareholders. The capital injection—led by Hy24’s Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund alongside Technip Energies and BenDa—comes at a critical time, as industrial sectors globally accelerate their decarbonization agendas amid intensifying climate mandates.
A seismic shift is underway in the energy industry, defined by digitalization and integration, reshaping the future landscape. As energy systems evolve, digital technology and a more unified approach are increasingly viewed as pivotal.
As Germany intensifies its push toward industrial decarbonization, Bavaria is making a significant financial commitment to scale its hydrogen production infrastructure.
GoVerde Energia has signed a letter of intent with the Bahia state government to construct an integrated industrial complex for the production of green methanol and ammonia.
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has emerged as the winner of PFC Consulting Limited’s competitive tender to develop a high-capacity transmission system in Gujarat, intended to support India’s expanding green hydrogen and ammonia production sector.
Spain is positioning itself at the heart of Europe’s hydrogen economy with an ambitious €2.64 billion investment plan to develop a 2,600-kilometer hydrogen trunk network—an infrastructure project that will span 13 autonomous communities and reuse large sections of existing gas infrastructure. While the scale signals institutional commitment, the technical and social challenges ahead suggest the road to 2030 is far from straightforward. Reusing Legacy Gas Infrastructure: Strategic Efficiency or Structural Risk? Over 80% of the proposed hydrogen pipeline will follow the path of existing gas infrastructure, and 21% will directly repurpose current gas pipelines. From an engineering perspective, this hybrid…
With battery electric vehicles (BEVs) dominating headlines, BMW’s decision to pursue hydrogen fuel cell technology suggests a significant bet on diversification, targeting an expected €12 billion global hydrogen vehicle market by 2030, according to Precedence Research. Yet, the company’s strategy acknowledges the sector’s persistent technical and infrastructural hurdles rather than masking them. BMW’s iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet, developed in partnership with Toyota since 2013, is more than a technical exercise. According to Jürgen Guldner, Head of Hydrogen Technology at BMW, the pilot aims to “run through the entire development of a fuel cell vehicle,” covering not only fuel cell integration…
A mid-double-digit million euro framework agreement signals Rheinmetall’s serious entry into the hydrogen logistics sector, as the company announces a letter of intent from a leading European green hydrogen producer for its advanced Multiple-Element Gas Containers (MEGCs). The order, covering 100 modular units, is scheduled for delivery starting in early 2026 and underscores intensifying momentum around scalable hydrogen transport infrastructure as Germany accelerates toward climate neutrality by 2045. This move comes amid a broader supply chain challenge in the hydrogen sector: transporting large quantities of compressed hydrogen efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively. The German National Hydrogen Strategy projects that hydrogen demand…
