In the Baltic region, Estonia’s plans to position itself as a strategic hydrogen transit corridor are facing direct competition from an offshore alternative that could bypass the country entirely and reshape regional clean energy investment flows.

Thyssenkrupp Polysius has launched a wholly owned subsidiary, Thyssenkrupp Calvion, focused on oxyfuel applications and other carbon dioxide reduction technologies aimed at heavy industry.

EDP has halted its planned green hydrogen project in Aboño, northern Spain, citing delays in the Spanish government’s implementation of European hydrogen regulations that are expected to define usage mandates, market incentives, and compliance frameworks.

Scotland’s energy transition could require as much as 241 million tonnes of material by 2050, according to a new roadmap from Zero Waste Scotland, highlighting the growing tension between decarbonization goals and the resource intensity of large-scale energy infrastructure deployment.

Global clean hydrogen production is now expected to reach only 150 million to 160 million tonnes annually by 2050, according to DNV’s latest hydrogen outlook, marking a sharp downgrade from the company’s earlier expectations and reinforcing growing concerns that the hydrogen economy is advancing far more slowly than governments and developers anticipated just a few years ago.

European Energy now says it has produced the first e methanol at its Kassø Power-to-X facility in Denmark, marking an operational milestone for a sector still under pressure to prove economic viability as much as technical feasibility.

Europe’s e fuel sector entered 2026 already facing mounting financing pressure, rising power-cost uncertainty, and slower-than-expected shipping demand for green fuels. Liquid Wind’s bankruptcy filing in Sweden now adds another stress test for a market that has relied heavily on large-scale project announcements but has delivered relatively few operating facilities.

The economics of clean hydrogen have long been trapped in an uncomfortable paradox. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by…

Less than 1 percent of global textile waste is currently recycled back into new textile fibers at scale, a figure that underscores the structural gap between policy ambition and industrial capability as Extended Producer Responsibility frameworks begin reshaping the sector in Europe and parts of the United States.

The United Kingdom’s energy transition is entering a phase where storage duration is becoming as strategically important as generation capacity itself. As renewable penetration increases and periods of excess solar and wind generation become more common, the limitation is no longer only how much clean electricity can be produced, but how long it can be retained and dispatched when needed.
