In the context of global efforts to address climate change, the decarbonization of the industrial sector, which is responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions, has become a critical area of focus. A multitude of policy instruments have been developed to facilitate this transition, each offering unique mechanisms and incentives to target emissions reductions. This article explores key instruments outlined in the “Policy Toolbox for Industrial Decarbonization” by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which provides a comprehensive framework for policymakers aiming to reduce industrial carbon footprints. Carbon Pricing Mechanisms A central tool in the decarbonization arsenal is carbon…
A critical reading of the latest coalition agreement between the CDU/CSU and SPD reveals a mixture of continuity and controversy in German energy policy. While renewable energy remains a central focus, nuclear power is, as expected, excluded from the agenda. Instead, the agreement emphasizes research into nuclear fusion. This decision carries far-reaching implications, particularly in light of the ongoing climate crisis and concerns over energy security. Key elements of the agreement center on transparency and predictability in the energy transition. Monitoring progress through 2025 is set to play a crucial role, particularly in assessing electricity demand, supply security, grid expansion,…
A mere month after the announcement, the EastGateH2V hydrogen valley initiative is now underway in Slovakia’s Košice region. Startling in concept, this EU-funded project, coordinated by the Košice Self-Governing Region (KSK), has amassed a consortium of 22 partners across seven European nations, expected to finalize grant agreements supported by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe program. A substantive €9 million grant, secured through the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, marks the project’s financial backbone. KSK Chairman Rastislav Trnka has underscored the project’s role in positioning the Košice region as a hydrogen technology leader within Central and Eastern Europe. Emphasizing the…
Despite setting an ambitious target of 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030, the UK had deployed only 2 MW of green hydrogen capacity as of 2023, according to the Climate Change Committee. Into this underperforming market steps Project HySpeed—a £6.5 billion private-sector initiative aiming to build 1 GW of green hydrogen capacity by the end of the decade. But how much can a single consortium shift the trajectory of a sector that has, so far, struggled to scale? Ambitious Claims, Modest Market Performance Led by Jo Bamford—known for championing hydrogen combustion engines through JCB—the HySpeed coalition includes major…
In a logistics landscape dominated by weight penalties and range anxiety, Spain’s EVARM is taking a different route. With the debut of its hydrogen fuel cell system in an Iveco S-Way truck, EVARM is entering the high-stakes race to decarbonize heavy-duty urban transport—not by retrofitting batteries, but by betting on compact, high-efficiency fuel cell propulsion. Why Batteries Fall Short for Urban Trucks Electric propulsion has made significant inroads in light-duty vehicles, but its application in heavy urban fleets has remained constrained by practical limits. For a 26-tonne vehicle like the Iveco S-Way, battery-based systems demand a trade-off: significant loss of…
Germany’s commitment to green hydrogen as a cornerstone of its energy transition is set to deepen with ANDRITZ receiving an order to engineer a 100 MW green hydrogen plant in Rostock. This plant not only epitomizes Germany’s ambition but is part of a broader European strategy to establish a hydrogen infrastructure that can serve multiple industries. REPCO, the consortium behind this initiative, underscores a collaborative effort among major energy players such as RWE Generation SE and EnBW Neue Energien GmbH, alongside other stakeholders. Their objective is to fortify Germany’s role within the pioneering Hydrogen Core Network, expected to become operational…
As the European Union and the United Arab Emirates edge closer to finalizing a free trade agreement, green hydrogen has emerged as a pivotal element in these discussions. The EU’s ambitious climate targets, aiming to cut carbon emissions by 55% by 2030, have intensified its pursuit of sustainable energy sources. Green hydrogen, produced through renewable energy sources like solar and wind, is central to achieving these aspirations, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU’s energy matrix. A recent study indicated that the global green hydrogen market could reach $89.18 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of…
As the global hydrogen economy gains momentum, a central question continues to shape the trajectory of investment and deployment: when—and how—can green hydrogen reach cost parity with fossil fuel-derived alternatives? According to Dr. Kevin Cole, Senior Scientist at Verdagy, the answer may lie in Dynamic Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE), a technology designed to operate flexibly in response to variable renewable energy inputs without sacrificing performance or stack longevity.
Energy security is becoming a pivotal concern in the current global landscape, necessitating strategic advancements in storage solutions to enhance resilience and adaptability.
