ENGIE has won its first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in India, marking a strategic entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets.

Germany’s grid operators are processing an unprecedented surge in applications for large battery storage systems, many exceeding 100 MW, yet projects continue to advance only in strict chronological order.

Singapore’s energy and chemicals sector accounts for one of the country’s most emissions-intensive industrial clusters, with the energy and chemicals hub on Jurong Island alone representing a significant share of national industrial output and CO₂ emissions. As regional hydrogen demand begins to crystallize, the government has signaled a preference for low-carbon hydrogen pathways that can be integrated into existing refining and petrochemical assets rather than relying solely on renewable-powered electrolysis, which remains constrained by land and resource limitations. The latest move in that direction is a newly signed memorandum of understanding between Air Liquide Singapore and Aster Chemicals and Energy,…

South Korea’s latest move to expand green hydrogen production arrives at a time when global electrolyzer deployment is surging, growing more than 400% between 2022 and 2024, according to IEA data.

Europe consumes resources at a rate far beyond what its ecosystems can regenerate, and the European Commission’s newly released Bioeconomy Strategy, expected to guide policy through 2030, does little to shift that trajectory.

Across Europe’s agricultural sector, biogas has long been treated as a low-value byproduct—useful for electricity generation, but structurally constrained by methane leakage risks and CO₂-rich exhaust streams.

South Korea’s hydrogen ambitions are moving into a new phase, with Hyundai Motor Group preparing a 1-gigawatt green hydrogen production complex that analysts say could reshape the country’s low-carbon industrial base. The rollout, evaluated by Singapore-based Sunnov Investment Pte. Ltd. and reported by Digital Journal, aligns with a broader trend in Asia’s heavy industry: scaling hydrogen not as a standalone technology but as an integrated supply-and-demand ecosystem. Hyundai’s plan centers on a hydrogen hub in South Jeolla Province, beginning with 500 MW of capacity before expanding to 1 GW by 2030. The facility will anchor an interlinked system combining power…

Australia’s energy transition hinges on a single figure: up to 95% variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in the National Energy Market by 2030, according to CSIRO and AEMO modeling. Reaching that threshold, necessary for the country to hit its 43% emissions-reduction target by 2030 and net zero by 2050, requires storage technologies that can deliver reliable, multi-hour power far beyond the capabilities of lithium-ion systems.

Japan’s effort to scale low-carbon fuels has taken a tangible step forward with INPEX Corporation launching the country’s first integrated blue hydrogen and blue ammonia demonstration plant in Niigata Prefecture.

Mauritania’s hydrogen pipeline took a decisive step forward with a new strategic framework agreement granting Möhring Energie 500 km² to build one of the country’s most advanced power-to-X projects to date.
