Spain’s industrial decarbonization strategy gained another financial boost after Hydnum Steel secured a €150 million investment commitment from the Co-investment Fund (FOCO), strengthening funding for what is planned to become the Iberian Peninsula’s first fossil fuel free steel plant.

Ola Electric has signed a memorandum of understanding with renewable energy developer Axis Energy to evaluate the deployment of up to 20 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) by 2032, aligning with the country’s growing need for flexible grid infrastructure.

Canada’s first commercial small modular reactor is already under construction at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site, positioning the country among the global leaders in next generation nuclear deployment.

Germany’s strategy to build an industrial scale hydrogen economy has reached another operational milestone as the first volumes of green hydrogen have been produced during commissioning at RWE’s 300 MW electrolyzer project in Lingen.

South Africa’s hydrogen strategy increasingly extends beyond exporting green hydrogen toward developing domestic technology and manufacturing capabilities. The commissioning of a 2 kilowatt proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at Sasol’s Research and Technology campus in Sasolburg represents a research focused step in that direction, providing a platform to evaluate locally developed hydrogen production technology under real operating conditions while supporting skills development and industrial collaboration.

Dutch startup Ore Energy has secured what it describes as continental Europe’s largest iron air battery agreement, alongside a $43 million Series A funding round that will support commercialization of its long duration energy storage technology.

The PosHYdon pilot project has successfully produced green hydrogen on the operational Q13a-A platform off the Dutch coast, marking the first demonstration of hydrogen production integrated with offshore wind power and active natural gas production on a working offshore installation.

The United Kingdom’s hydrogen strategy is increasingly shifting from policy commitments toward industrial deployment, with a £50 million green hydrogen production facility scheduled to begin construction later this year at Milford Haven in southwest Wales.

The European Commission has approved a €59 million Slovenian state aid scheme to support the deployment of 370 MWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS), reinforcing the European Union’s broader strategy to strengthen electricity networks while accelerating decarbonization.
