Aviation’s climate impact, often underestimated at 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions, surges to 10% or higher when non-CO₂ effects like contrails and nitrogen oxides are factored in. As sectors such as road transport electrify, aviation’s emissions footprint risks becoming a glaring outlier. 

Atome has embarked on a potentially transformative endeavor, signing a $465 million EPC contract with Swiss engineering firm Casale for a 145MW green hydrogen-based fertilizer project in Villeta, Paraguay.

Namibia is emerging as a surprising contender in the global race for green hydrogen production, and Germany is playing a pivotal role in this transformation.

McPhy, a significant player in the electrolyser manufacturing industry, sees its chief executive officer, Jean-Baptiste Lucas, stepping down.

China’s Sinopec has teamed up with battery giant CATL to spearhead a comprehensive EV battery swap network. The collaboration aims for an ambitious 500 stations by year-end, with plans to expand to 10,000 stations, setting the stage for a fundamental transformation in China’s EV infrastructure. The strategic alliance aims to address a primary pain point in the EV ecosystem: charging time. By implementing a system that allows drivers to quickly swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones, the Sinopec-CATL partnership promises to significantly reduce downtime. This initiative not only boosts the convenience factor for existing EV owners but also makes…

Energy News is thrilled to welcome Dr. Quentin Meyer to its Advisory Board, a visionary researcher whose groundbreaking work in hydrogen fuel cells and electrochemical engineering is accelerating the global transition to clean energy.

Canada’s nuclear sector is set to advance with the regulatory approval of its first small modular reactor (SMR). This decision by the federal regulator marks a milestone, reflecting global trends in nuclear innovation aimed at meeting growing energy demands while addressing environmental concerns. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there are nearly 70 SMR designs under development worldwide, underscoring the international momentum in diversifying nuclear energy production. With nuclear energy contributing approximately 15% of Canada’s power generation, the approval of SMRs signals Canada’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions. This approval reflects a broader global strategy focusing on these reactors…

Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt has commenced the operation of a hydrogen transport pipeline that aims to demonstrate a fully integrated “green” supply chain from wind energy to industrial consumption. This ambitious project, set in motion by Ontras Gas Transport, aims to transform renewable electricity from a local wind farm into hydrogen, to then be utilized in various industrial applications. At the heart of this initiative is a 30-megawatt electrolyzer developed by Sunfire Dresden. This critical component uses renewable energy from eight wind turbines to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The generated hydrogen is temporarily stored in a repurposed salt cavern,…

India’s industrial titan, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has made a decisive step in escalating its commitment to renewable energy by creating the subsidiary L&T Green Energy Kandla Pvt Ltd. This move is part of its strategic blueprint to foster green hydrogen projects, notably including derivatives such as green ammonia. The establishment of this new entity underlines L&T’s ongoing efforts to innovate within the clean energy sector following its recent commissioning of a green hydrogen plant in Gujarat. The advent of L&T Green Energy Kandla represents a significant alignment with global energy trends where green hydrogen, produced via the electrolysis of…

Energy News is honored to welcome Dr. Alistair Miller to its Advisory Board, a luminary whose almost six-decade career in nuclear technology and sustainable energy research has left a legacy on the global energy landscape.
