Belgium has taken a decisive step forward in Europe’s energy transition with the completion of the first phase of the Terhills Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Dilsen-Stokkem, Flanders.

Global demand for batteries continues to soar, driven by accelerating electrification across vehicles, energy storage, and heavy-duty transport.

Daimler Truck AG, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), and Kawasaki Heavy Industries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore a reliable liquid hydrogen (LH₂) supply chain connecting overseas production hubs with the European hinterland via the Port of Hamburg.

Europe’s race to decarbonize its energy system has intensified under mounting geopolitical pressures. This week, the European Commission approved sanctions banning new gas and LNG imports from Russia, reinforcing the urgency to diversify supply and accelerate the green transition.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has canceled $700 million in federal battery and manufacturing grants, marking the second wave of funding reversals this month and signaling a more stringent approach to industrial subsidies.

As the world pushes toward carbon neutrality, high-energy-density batteries are emerging as critical enablers for electric vehicles and grid-scale renewable storage.

Tesla has issued a recall for 12,963 vehicles in the United States after identifying a potential battery connection defect that could cause sudden power loss while driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Austria has announced €274.8 million ($291.6 million) in funding for four domestic hydrogen projects, signaling its intent to emerge as a central player in Europe’s hydrogen economy.

By 2030, Africa could emerge as a key supplier of green hydrogen to Europe—but only if European policy interventions address the continent’s prohibitive financing conditions.

Global demand for hydrogen reached nearly 100 million tonnes (Mt) in 2024, up around 2 % from the previous year and largely driven by traditional industrial uses such as refining and ammonia production.
