A global dataset of 5,360 large infrastructure projects reveals that virtually no energy sector escapes budgetary slippage—but nuclear infrastructure stands out as the most financially volatile.
Sarawak is positioning itself as a future exporter, yet the state’s hydrogen ambitions remain constrained by structural and economic hurdles. Despite policy alignment and hydropower advantages, short-term investor caution and skill shortages continue to inhibit momentum.
The detection of hydrogen concentrations exceeding 96% and helium up to 5% in mud gas samples from HyTerra’s recently drilled Sue Duroche 3 well marks a notable development for natural hydrogen exploration in North America.
As cities worldwide grapple with energy security and sustainability challenges, innovative solutions such as off-grid smart city designs incorporating renewable energy have gained traction. A recent study published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy sheds light on an integrated energy system for a pilot region of 8,500 households, combining solar tower technology with dual storage solutions.
Norwegian Hydrogen has secured dual public backing for its green hydrogen facility in Rjukan, Norway, with €13.2 million offered by the EU Hydrogen Bank and NOK 100 million in combined grants and loans from Innovation Norway.
Despite surging demand for decarbonized fuels, only 15 projects across five countries secured backing in the EU’s second European Hydrogen Bank auction, highlighting both momentum and bottlenecks in Europe’s push to scale renewable hydrogen.
India’s recent allocation of 862,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen production capacity and 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing to selected firms marks a new phase in its National Green Hydrogen Mission.
Latin America’s ambitions for large-scale energy storage are moving from concept to construction with Zelestra’s Aurora project, a 1 GWh hybrid solar-plus-storage plant now underway in northern Chile.
With over 90% of its electricity already generated from renewable sources, Newfoundland and Labrador holds a rare advantage among global hydrogen hopefuls. Its latest move—signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Port of Amsterdam—signals growing ambition to convert this domestic strength into an export-led green hydrogen economy.
