Teesside, long associated with the UK’s industrial backbone, is poised to become a strategic hub for hydrogen infrastructure following a £96 million funding boost announced by Ofgem.
Spain’s Hydrogen Valleys programme is beginning to yield tangible project momentum, with Madrid-based developer RIC Energy securing land for a 220MW green hydrogen-derived e-fuels facility in Castilla y León.
ITM Power has signed the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for Uniper’s Humber H2ub®—a 120MW green hydrogen project shortlisted in the UK’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2).
In the context of burgeoning decarbonization efforts, the demand for underground storage solutions for gases such as natural gas, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide is accelerating. This understudied aspect presents complex technical, economic, and policy challenges that require multidisciplinary insights for effective resolution.
As Oman ramps up its ambition to produce up to 8.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2050, a new study suggests that retrofitting the country’s natural gas pipeline infrastructure could provide a cost-effective and technically viable solution for hydrogen transport—both domestically and for export.
India’s accelerating green hydrogen ambitions took a technical leap on June 23, 2025, as Adani Enterprises commissioned the country’s first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat.
Poland’s Orlen Group has secured PLN 1.7 billion (approximately $459 million) in non-repayable funding from the National Recovery Plan to accelerate development of its hydrogen production portfolio.
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.
