The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded LiCAP Technologies an $11.3 million grant to expand manufacturing capacity and accelerate commercialization of its dry electrode platform, a technology designed to reduce battery production complexity and improve scalability.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has secured investment from the Scottish National Investment Bank and the Nuclear Liabilities Fund for the 500 MW Devilla battery energy storage project in Fife, highlighting the growing role of large scale storage in maintaining grid reliability as fossil fuel generation declines.

A new 4 MW green hydrogen project in Neyveli, Tamil Nadu, developed by Ohmium International and InSolare Energy for NLC India Limited, highlights the country’s approach of building smaller scale but scalable production assets linked to domestic energy infrastructure.

Hygenco Green Energies has secured $105 million in equity investment from a consortium including International Finance Corporation (IFC), Siemens Financial Services, and Fullerton Carbon Action Fund to accelerate the development of green hydrogen and green hydrogen derivative projects, including green ammonia.

With electricity reaching just 32.5% of its population as of 2023 and rural access barely above 9%, Liberia sits at…

MODEC and Eld Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a 1.2 MW solid oxide fuel cell based power system integrated with carbon capture, targeting long-duration offshore deployment.

Europe’s electric vehicle transition is increasingly becoming a question not only of transport emissions but of electricity system economics. A new study by Fraunhofer ISI for Transport & Environment (T&E) estimates that weakening EU electric vehicle targets could require the equivalent of 150 additional peaking power plants to compensate for lost flexibility from EV batteries.

Renewable energy developer Sunly and Rolls-Royce Power Systems have signed agreements to develop four utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Latvia with a combined capacity of 490 MWh.

Engineering company Studsvik has submitted plans for between 600 MWe and 1,400 MWe of new nuclear capacity near its Nyköping headquarters, while the Swedish government is preparing to increase state involvement in a separate small modular reactor (SMR) project at the Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant site.

Producing one kilogram of hydrogen through conventional electrolysis requires approximately 9 kilograms of water, creating additional pressure on freshwater supplies as electrolyzer deployment expands. UK-based Hychor, a spin-off from the University of Aberdeen, is developing a seawater-based hydrogen production system designed to address this limitation by eliminating the need for freshwater treatment before electrolysis.
