As the UK government and industry stakeholders grapple with the challenge of achieving net-zero carbon emissions, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has emphasized that underground hydrogen storage is ‘essential’ for the stability of renewable energy systems. BGS’s comprehensive briefing note highlights the critical role of hydrogen storage in balancing the increasingly volatile supply and demand dynamics of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. In examining the UK energy landscape, it’s apparent that current storage capacities are insufficient. The UK’s gas storage capacity is limited to an average of 12 days, one of the lowest in Europe. In contrast, achieving…

In an ambitious move, the Energy Abundance Development Corp is developing what will be the largest hydrogen project globally on a 50,000-acre site near Laredo, Texas. Coined “Data City,” this project is aimed at harnessing green energy to power a colossal data center, potentially shifting paradigms in sustainable energy solutions. This endeavor marks a significant leap in the tech industry’s energy consumption norms. Starting with an initial 300 megawatts and scaling to a capacity of 5 gigawatts, the project is poised to redefine how data centers can efficiently and sustainably operate. Despite the immense scale, the completion of this infrastructure…

In a significant bid to bolster its energy infrastructure, Poland has launched a €1 billion program aimed at developing energy storage facilities. This initiative, backed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW), is seeking to stabilize the nation’s power system amidst an increasing shift towards renewable energy sources. The call for applications was kicked off on April 4 and will remain open until May 30, inviting proposals for the construction of facilities with a minimum capacity of 2 MW and 4 MWh. This move is not merely strategic but essential, considering the demands of integrating fluctuating…

Moeve has secured €303 million from the Ministry for Ecological Transition for its Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley, the most significant in national history. This capital represents roughly a quarter of the total funding awarded under the Perte Program, underscoring the initiative’s strategic importance within Spain’s ecological transition agenda. Among the noteworthy elements of this plan is the Onuba project, which aims to establish a green hydrogen production facility in Palos de la Frontera boasting a 400 MW electrolysis capacity. The projected creation of 10,000 jobs, spanning direct, indirect, and related roles, indicates further economic stimulation for Andalusia. Yet, this surge…

In a strategic move set to reposition Sarawak as a focal point in the hydrogen industry, Chloroplant has secured a $17 million investment deal to establish a 10 MW hydrogen plant.

leagend Battery Remote Monitoring Solution is designed to ensure real-time battery health tracking, predictive maintenance, and remote access.

A critical juncture has emerged for the burgeoning European green hydrogen sector as the Lugo-Zamora segment of Spain’s green hydrogen corridor has been omitted from the latest round of EU funding allocations.

Sunfire has transformed into a European Public Limited Company (Societas Europaea), representing a strategic shift in the fast-evolving hydrogen market. The company was officially registered on April 1, 2025.

Europe’s energy generation landscape has significantly transformed, with a pronounced shift towards renewable sources. As of 2024, Germany, the UK, and France, collectively accounting for approximately half of Europe’s Weather-Dependent Renewables—primarily wind and solar—must navigate complex challenges and substantial financial commitments. The surge in solar photovoltaic (PV) installations has been remarkable, growing to around 75% of new renewable installations in 2024. Despite this impressive growth, solar PV remains the least productive and least reliable of the renewable options, particularly in Northern Europe where productivity is often about 10% or less. This mismatch between installation capacity and actual productivity presents a…

The European Union’s Climate, Infrastructure, and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has launched a €600 million funding call for cross-border energy infrastructure projects, targeting initiatives listed under the revised Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) Regulation. Open until September 16, 2025, the call supports electricity, smart grids, hydrogen, CO₂ transport, and offshore projects under the PCI/PMI framework. While the funding aligns with the EU’s €5.84 billion Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy budget (2021–2027), the allocation represents just 10% of the total envelope, prompting concerns about diluted impact. Hydrogen and CO₂ networks—critical for the REPowerEU plan’s 20 million-ton green hydrogen target—receive explicit focus,…
