Gasunie, one of Europe’s largest energy infrastructure companies, has unveiled a comprehensive investment plan totaling €12 billion aimed at bolstering the hydrogen and carbon capture storage (CCS) initiatives. This strategic focus is poised to align with Europe’s decarbonization objectives and the transition towards a sustainable energy future. The emphasis on hydrogen as a cornerstone of this strategy emerges in tandem with the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) projections that hydrogen could represent 18% of global energy demand by 2050, assuming supportive policies and technological advancements continue apace. Central to Gasunie’s ambitious blueprint is the development of an extensive hydrogen transportation network.…

A staggering volume of disingenuous narratives, strategically amplified within increasingly fragmented information ecosystems, significantly impedes meaningful climate action. This was a central contention in a recent discussion with Karim Megherbi, a seasoned renewable energy sector figure whose insights underscore the complex interplay between deliberate misinformation campaigns and the urgent need for a global energy transition. 

The global energy sector’s pivot toward natural hydrogen has intensified scrutiny of geological processes like deserpentinization, which could yield vast subsurface hydrogen reserves. A 2023 U.S. Geological Survey estimate suggests subsurface hydrogen deposits may exceed 1 trillion tons globally—a potential game-changer for clean energy transitions.

The aviation industry, a major contributor to global carbon emissions, is under increasing pressure to identify and implement sustainable fuel alternatives. In this context, hydrogen fuel is gaining attention as a viable zero-emission energy source that could redefine air travel’s environmental impact.

As China braces to meet its ambitious carbon neutrality goal by 2060, it faces the enormous task of transforming an economy heavily reliant on fossil fuels.

Exploration into the integration of green hydrogen production within wind farm operations reveals both economic and environmental dimensions.

South Korea is pursuing the unification of real-time control over its decentralized power grid systems.

BYD Energy Storage recently unveiled the Chess Plus system, a strategic enhancement to boost commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage capabilities in China.

Chile’s renewable hydrogen sector received a boost through a collaborative financial initiative involving the European Union, European Investment Bank (EIB), KfW Development Bank, and Chilean entities such as the Corporación de Fomento de la Producción (CORFO) and the Ministry of Energy.

With the launch of India’s inaugural green hydrogen plant in the float glass sector, spearheaded by INOX Air Products, the industrial gases leader has initiated a sustainable transformation at Asahi India Glass Limited’s new facility in Soniyana, Chittorgarh.
