AI-driven data centers are emerging as one of the fastest-growing loads on global electricity systems, with some forecasts warning that U.S. facilities alone could add up to 50 GW of demand by 2030—equivalent to the consumption of every household in California.

Poland-based Hynfra and the Government of Mauritania signed a Framework Agreement for the development of a $1.5 billion integrated green ammonia facility.

The SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar Group (SHS Group), which includes Dillinger, Saarstahl, and ROGESA, has signed a decade-long agreement with France’s Verso Energy for the annual supply of at least 6,000 tons of renewable hydrogen.

The race to scale up Europe’s hydrogen economy has gained new momentum as AquaVentus, Germany’s offshore wind-to-hydrogen initiative, and Hydrogen Scotland signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen cooperation on green hydrogen production, transport, and deployment across the North Sea region.

For much of the twentieth century, energy systems operated under vertically integrated utilities that planned, dispatched, and balanced power and gas flows under a single hierarchy. Liberalization in the 1990s dismantled these structures, replacing internal engineering coordination with fragmented interactions across generators, grid operators, retailers, and aggregators. Today, decarbonization multiplies the challenge, adding new vectors—hydrogen, district heating, and electrified transport—that must synchronize with an already stressed electricity system. The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies argues in its September 2025 paper that the binding constraint of the energy transition is no longer technology cost but coordination under complexity. The analysis highlights…

The Netherlands has awarded €551 million in funding to RWE for its planned 100-MW OranjeWind electrolyzer in Eemshaven, marking one of the largest single-project hydrogen subsidies issued under the SDE++ climate transition scheme.

Tesla’s Shanghai Megafactory, launched in December 2023 with the capacity to produce 10,000 Megapacks annually, has already built its first 1,000 units as of July 2024.

Yara Clean Ammonia has initiated construction of the Yara Eyde, billed as the world’s first container vessel designed to run on renewable ammonia.

Artificial intelligence is being framed less as a technological revolution and more as a national survival project. Yet even as the White House describes AI as a “new Manhattan Project,” lawmakers are still receiving primers on basic concepts.

Australia’s Fortescue Metals Group posted its smallest full-year profit in six years, reporting an attributable net profit after tax of A$3.37 billion for the year ended June 30, down from A$5.68 billion a year earlier and largely in line with analyst expectations of A$3.43 billion.
