HyTerra’s drilling campaign in Kansas has added fresh momentum to the emerging natural hydrogen sector, with the McCoy 1 well at its Nemaha project recording mud gas concentrations of up to 83% hydrogen and 5% helium.
Singapore-based Meranti Green Steel (MGS) is targeting a mid-2026 Final Investment Decision (FID) on a 2.5 million tones per annum (mtpa) green Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant in Oman’s Duqm Special Economic Zone.
Sungrow Hydrogen has established a European Hydrogen Technology Laboratory in Munich, Germany, aiming to accelerate innovation in water electrolysis and Power-to-X (P2X) systems.
As New York races to meet its 2030 goal of six gigawatts of battery storage capacity, opposition to siting lithium-ion facilities in residential and commercial districts is intensifying. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has stepped into the debate, voicing concern over the risks posed by battery energy storage systems (BESS) in densely populated areas and pledging new federal safety guidance tailored for municipalities on Long Island.
When a 118.8-meter, $645 million superyacht enters the market, attention usually centers on opulence rather than engineering. Yet the Breakthrough, attributed to Bill Gates and now set for its first sale at the Monaco Boat Show, raises questions about whether hydrogen propulsion can credibly scale beyond demonstration projects into the luxury maritime sector. Built by Dutch shipyard Feadship and designed by RWD, the vessel combines conventional extravagance—basketball courts, a cinema, 15 guest cabins, and a private hospital—with energy systems that distinguish it from traditional diesel-fueled yachts. At its core is a liquid hydrogen propulsion system that stores fuel at –253°C…
Hyundai Motor Company’s second-generation hydrogen fuel cell SUV, the All New Nexo, reached a significant milestone recently with 1,001 units sold in South Korea, marking a 203% year-on-year increase.
The Philippines is advancing early-stage exploration into natural hydrogen, with U.S.-based startup Koloma, Inc. preparing to study potential reserves in Luzon.
Australia’s push to expand renewable energy and storage capacity faces a familiar bottleneck: trust between developers and local communities. A new federal initiative, the Developer Rating Scheme, aims to address that challenge by scoring renewable and storage companies on governance, financial stability, and community engagement, with the first results expected after March 2026.
U.S. electricity demand is surging at a pace not seen in decades, with AI-driven data centers emerging as one of the main culprits.
Global energy markets are entering a period of unprecedented constraint, with oil production peaking around 2018 and natural gas reserves now in structural decline. According to geologist and strategist Simon Michaux, new oil discoveries are consistently lagging behind consumption, making the development of a robust “after oil” strategy an urgent economic imperative.
