DOE will put up to $150 million of Defense Production Act money into a 223 mile second link between Southcentral and Interior Alaska, against $268 million from non-federal sources.
A planned 220,000 tonne per year biomethanol facility in the Netherlands is being positioned around access to renewable hydrogen, highlighting how hydrogen demand could increasingly emerge from processes that combine biogenic carbon with additional low carbon hydrogen rather than from conventional hydrogen applications alone.
The commercial shipping industry is moving from conceptual studies toward route specific testing of nuclear propulsion, with Hyundai Glovis and U.S. logistics company Liberty Global Logistics (LGL) now examining whether a small modular reactor-powered Pure Car and Truck Carrier could operate between South Korea and the United States.
A planned 4 million tonnes per year of renewable hydrogen imports from North Africa is placing the SoutH2 Corridor among Europe’s largest proposed hydrogen infrastructure routes, but the latest political agreement also underscores how much work remains before that capacity can become a bankable supply chain.
Global hydrogen demand surpassed 100 million tonnes in 2025, yet low emissions hydrogen still accounted for only slightly more than 1% of production.
The European Union used 12.2% recycled materials in 2024, the highest circular material use rate on record, but only marginally above the previous year and just one percentage point higher than in 2015.
DOE intends to fund 31 transmission projects in 26 states under SPARK, totaling $5.25 billion with $3.35 billion from recipients. ENB calculates about $262 per kW of added capacity.
DOE selected 21 geothermal projects on 21 September 2026: five field scale EGS tests and 16 exploration drilling projects. The average is about $4.7 million each, and selection is not a commitment.
The Pennsylvania PUC adopted a Tentative Order on 1 October 2026 putting large new loads without new capacity first in line for curtailment. A Final Order is targeted for 28 January 2027.
A model released on 28 September 2026 puts the five-year saving for an electric long-haul truck at €100,000 in the Netherlands and a deficit of €94,000 in Italy. ENB tests the German case from the model’s own inputs and finds the diesel price and policy decide the result.
