Amid mounting pressure from falling power prices and geopolitical volatility, Norwegian utility Statkraft has unveiled a strategy to reduce its annual operating expenses by 15%—equivalent to approximately NOK 2.9 billion (USD 290 million)—by 2027.
As global industries push to decarbonize, the high cost and limited durability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts remain persistent obstacles in scaling green hydrogen production. But new research from Sweden’s Umeå University suggests that a subtle atomic-level tweak may offer a path to lower-cost, high-performance electrolysers that can endure industrial conditions—without reliance on expensive precious metals.
Germany’s ABO Energy GmbH & Co KGaA has officially brought its first green hydrogen facility online, marking a pivotal step in the company’s diversification beyond wind power.
India’s commitment to scaling up energy storage capacity has taken a major step forward with the expansion of its Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme to support 30 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), nearly tripling the size of its earlier initiative launched in 2023.
In a world supposedly racing toward net zero, one element of the clean energy arsenal still hasn’t left the lab:…
National Gas and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a cross-border pipeline between the United Kingdom and Ireland capable of transporting 100% hydrogen—marking a pivotal step toward a regional hydrogen economy.
As investor interest in natural hydrogen intensifies globally, two Canadian explorers—REV Exploration Corp. and MAX Power Mining Corp.—have formed a strategic alliance to accelerate early-stage exploration in Western Canada, with a particular focus on Alberta and Saskatchewan.
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.
On January 1, 2025, China reclassified hydrogen as a core energy resource, rather than a hazardous chemical. This change is…
