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.

As investor interest in natural hydrogen intensifies globally, two Canadian explorers—REV Exploration Corp. and MAX Power Mining Corp.—have formed a strategic alliance to accelerate early-stage exploration in Western Canada, with a particular focus on Alberta and Saskatchewan.

As the world approaches a critical five-year window to halve global emissions, a new systematic review from the International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) reveals that climate misinformation is not just undermining public trust—it is actively delaying policy action and enabling continued fossil fuel expansion.

Researchers at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have demonstrated a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency exceeding 20% using a novel “beam-down” solar reactor system—a result that surpasses typical benchmarks by five percentage points.

As Europe races to decarbonize and reindustrialize simultaneously, a bottleneck in rare earth mineral supply is threatening its high-tech sectors at a precarious moment.

India’s ambitions to decarbonize heavy industry and diversify its clean energy portfolio took a strategic step forward this week, as Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured land in Kandla, Gujarat for developing green hydrogen and ammonia production facilities.

With aviation under mounting pressure to decarbonize, the UK’s £10.8 million LH-SIFT project may provide a critical testbed for hydrogen’s long-term role in zero-emission flight. Led by ZeroAvia, the initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of a novel liquid hydrogen management system into a Dornier 228 aircraft—marking what could become the first commercial airframe to fly using cryogenic hydrogen fuel.

India’s battery supply chain could be on the verge of transformation, as Gautam Adani’s recent visit to Chinese battery giant CATL hints at a possible strategic partnership that would align with the country’s accelerating clean energy trajectory.

Air Products is abandoning plans for a major green hydrogen import and production terminal at the Port of Immingham in the UK.
