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.

Germany’s ABO Energy GmbH & Co KGaA has officially brought its first green hydrogen facility online, marking a pivotal step in the company’s diversification beyond wind power.

In a world supposedly racing toward net zero, one element of the clean energy arsenal still hasn’t left the lab:…

National Gas and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a cross-border pipeline between the United Kingdom and Ireland capable of transporting 100% hydrogen—marking a pivotal step toward a regional hydrogen economy.

Researchers at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have demonstrated a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency exceeding 20% using a novel “beam-down” solar reactor system—a result that surpasses typical benchmarks by five percentage points.

On January 1, 2025, China reclassified hydrogen as a core energy resource, rather than a hazardous chemical. This change is…

As Europe races to decarbonize and reindustrialize simultaneously, a bottleneck in rare earth mineral supply is threatening its high-tech sectors at a precarious moment.

India’s ambitions to decarbonize heavy industry and diversify its clean energy portfolio took a strategic step forward this week, as Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured land in Kandla, Gujarat for developing green hydrogen and ammonia production facilities.

With aviation under mounting pressure to decarbonize, the UK’s £10.8 million LH-SIFT project may provide a critical testbed for hydrogen’s long-term role in zero-emission flight. Led by ZeroAvia, the initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of a novel liquid hydrogen management system into a Dornier 228 aircraft—marking what could become the first commercial airframe to fly using cryogenic hydrogen fuel.
