When the European Commission settled its emissions cartel case against BMW, Volkswagen, and DaimlerChrysler in 2021, the €875 million fine…

Ireland’s hydrogen ambitions are colliding with the realities of legacy gas infrastructure, and the Corrib terminal in County Mayo is…

During a recent visit to China alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, BMW Group CEO Oliver Zipse signed a memorandum of understanding with CATL, formalizing a partnership aimed at lowering the embedded carbon footprint of BMW’s electric vehicles by reworking battery sourcing and production processes.

Germany is preparing to classify hydrogen production as being of “overriding public interest,” a legal designation designed to accelerate permitting and implementation at a moment when the country’s hydrogen strategy is visibly off track.

Australia’s energy storage buildout is increasingly defined by a geographic and technological split. In New South Wales, the state government has elevated two pumped hydro proposals totaling 1.8 gigawatts to priority planning status, even as battery energy storage systems continue to dominate deployment elsewhere in the country.

Energinet has awarded a five-year Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management contract to Worley for Phase 1 of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone pipeline.

In northern Sweden, the HYBRIT consortium has secured an extension of its temporary building permit for its underground hydrogen storage pilot in Luleå until 2031, allowing continued testing of a technology that early data suggest could cut variable hydrogen production costs by 25 to 40 percent.

The U.S. energy storage sector installed 57.6 GWh of new capacity in 2025, marking the largest single-year deployment in history.

Power2X has acquired HyCC, a Netherlands-based developer of large-scale green hydrogen projects, marking a strategic consolidation in the European clean molecules sector.

Europe’s installed battery capacity surpassed 17 gigawatts in 2025 after adding more than 7 gigawatts in just two years, yet deployment remains uneven across the continent.
