Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power has inked a series of agreements aimed at transforming the Kingdom into a central node for renewable energy and green hydrogen exports to Europe.

India’s green hydrogen ambitions took a decisive turn with Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) subsidiary, L&T Energy GreenTech (LTEG), securing the country’s largest industrial green hydrogen contract to date—a 10,000-tonne-per-year supply agreement with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) at its Panipat refinery.

As the UK aims to cut 1 million tones of CO₂ annually through green hydrogen by 2030, digital efficiency is becoming as critical as electrolyzer output. In this context, green hydrogen developer Protium has partnered with AVEVA to digitize and optimize its operations, with the aim of accelerating project delivery while reducing costs and emissions.

A joint venture between Empower Renewables and Galileo Green Energy has secured planning consent for a 49.9MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in West Lothian, Scotland.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has won a 30 MW/120 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract from NHPC, marking a pivotal moment in India’s effort to strengthen grid reliability through utility-scale storage.

Enagás’ hydrogen subsidiary, Scale Green Energy, has secured over €8 million in EU funding to deploy six large-scale renewable hydrogen refuelling stations across Spain—each with a daily capacity of 1,000 kg.

The European hydrogen economy has gained a critical production foothold as Agfa and VITO inaugurate a large-scale manufacturing facility for ZIRFON membranes in Mortsel, Flanders.

Victoria has approved its first commercial-scale green hydrogen facility, marking a decisive step toward decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Energys Australia, in partnership with Coregas Pty Ltd, secured planning consent for a 1 MW electrolyser project in Hastings, set to begin operations in July 2025.

In a study led by RMIT University in collaboration with the University of New South Wales and the Australian Synchrotron, scientists demonstrated that the metals commonly found in industrial wastewater—long considered a liability—can be repurposed to accelerate hydrogen electrolysis.

In one of the most consequential decarbonization moves by a European steelmaker, Tata Steel is preparing to shut down key coal-based assets at its IJmuiden plant in the Netherlands and replace them with low-emission technologies.
