Researchers at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have demonstrated a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency exceeding 20% using a novel “beam-down” solar reactor system—a result that surpasses typical benchmarks by five percentage points.

As Europe races to decarbonize and reindustrialize simultaneously, a bottleneck in rare earth mineral supply is threatening its high-tech sectors at a precarious moment.

India’s ambitions to decarbonize heavy industry and diversify its clean energy portfolio took a strategic step forward this week, as Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured land in Kandla, Gujarat for developing green hydrogen and ammonia production facilities.

With aviation under mounting pressure to decarbonize, the UK’s £10.8 million LH-SIFT project may provide a critical testbed for hydrogen’s long-term role in zero-emission flight. Led by ZeroAvia, the initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of a novel liquid hydrogen management system into a Dornier 228 aircraft—marking what could become the first commercial airframe to fly using cryogenic hydrogen fuel.

India’s battery supply chain could be on the verge of transformation, as Gautam Adani’s recent visit to Chinese battery giant CATL hints at a possible strategic partnership that would align with the country’s accelerating clean energy trajectory.

Air Products is abandoning plans for a major green hydrogen import and production terminal at the Port of Immingham in the UK.

Spain has secured €32.5 million in EU funding for early-stage engineering and design work on its national hydrogen backbone, with Enagás announcing the grant agreement at its second Hydrogen Technical Day in Madrid.

Tree Energy Solutions (TES) and engineering consultancy Ramboll have concluded a joint engineering study for a CO₂ export terminal at TES’s Wilhelmshaven Green Energy Hub, aiming to position the North Sea port as a key node in Europe’s carbon logistics.

The International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) recent $72 million investment into a 300 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) marks a pivotal move toward addressing the intermittency challenge that has long hindered solar and wind uptake.

At this year’s SNEC 2025 in Shanghai, Sungrow Hydrogen and Wison Engineering unveiled a modular hydrogen production platform that signals a fundamental shift in how large-scale electrolysis infrastructure may be deployed.
