The CHRU de Nancy has announced a tender titled “Acquisition et location de véhicules avec prestations associées” as part of a dynamic purchasing system (DPS).

The global ambition to transition from fossil fuels has catapulted the demand for critical minerals into uncharted territory. Current estimates suggest that meeting net-zero emissions targets by 2050 will require a quantum leap in mineral production. WATCH THE FULL FACE 2 FACE According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), achieving this transition could require a fourfold increase in the production of critical minerals such as lithium, copper, and cobalt within the next three decades. The stakes are unprecedented, raising concerns over whether the mining industry and its associated supply chains are adequately equipped to meet these demands. The Scale of…

Latvenergo, a prominent public electricity utility in Latvia, has invited a tender for the procurement of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

UiT Norges arktiske universitet and Stadtwerke Stuttgart GmbH have issued new tenders for hydrogen-related projects, published on January 23, 2025, with deadlines for submission set for February 10, 2025, and a negotiated deadline, respectively.

The rise of artificial intelligence and global data center expansion is rewriting energy consumption rules, pushing traditional power grids to their limits. With electricity demand expected to climb by as much as 75% globally by 2050, the U.S. energy grid is already straining under the weight of growing electrification, reshoring, and AI-driven operations. As Big Tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta navigate this evolving landscape, nuclear energy has emerged as a pivotal player in their strategies. Data Centers and the Power Conundrum Data centers have evolved from back-end facilities to critical infrastructures, driving the modern economy. Fueled by…

The public transport organization SETRAM has issued a tender titled “Achat d’hydrogène pour autobus” for the supply of hydrogen required by its bus fleet.

The inauguration of President Donald Trump brought an immediate reshaping of energy policy in the United States. Central to his first-day agenda was the declaration of a national energy emergency aimed at reversing the prior administration’s focus on renewable energy and environmental regulations. This initiative reflects a broader strategy to enhance domestic energy production by prioritizing fossil fuels while rolling back regulatory barriers. The implications of these changes extend across multiple sectors, from energy infrastructure to transportation. Recalibrating Energy Policy with Executive Powers The national energy emergency introduced expansive executive powers, allowing for expedited approvals of fossil fuel projects. Regulatory…

On January 20, 2025, Wasserstoff Lichtenau GmbH & Co. KG announced a tender titled “Elektrolyseur ‘Schlafender Riese'” for the construction of a hydrogen production facility with a scale of 9-12 MW in Lichtenau, Germany.

In 2014, Norwegian energy companies unveiled ambitious plans to develop a massive wind farm on the Fosen Peninsula. Despite objections from Sámi herders concerned about the impact on traditional reindeer grazing lands, political hurdles were cleared, and permits were issued. State-owned energy giant Statkraft declared the project was moving “full steam ahead.” Yet, by 2015, the initiative ground to a halt—not because of local resistance, material shortages, or bureaucratic delays, but because projections showed the project would not deliver sufficient returns to justify investment. This quiet collapse of an emblematic renewable energy project is part of a more significant, underexplored…

The Stadtwerke Stuttgart GmbH has issued a tender titled “Errichtung und Wartung von Gasanalyseanlagen im Zusammenhang mit der Herstellung von Wasserstoff,” signifying a substantial move in the hydrogen industry.
