India is expanding its policy toolkit for green hydrogen by addressing one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: the high upfront cost of electrolyzer deployment.
Jinko ESS and Dutch energy storage developer Eturn have expanded their collaboration with the deployment of a 40 MWh utility scale battery energy storage project in Germany. The project reflects a broader trend in the European storage market, where developers are moving beyond pilot installations toward larger commercial assets designed to participate in wholesale electricity markets and provide grid services.
A new study published in Energy & Fuels estimates that U.S. data center power capacity will increase from 40 GW in 2025 to 169 GW by 2030, more than quadrupling within five years as AI computing requirements continue to accelerate.
Germany’s growing renewable electricity surplus has created an increasingly expensive challenge for grid operators. As wind and solar generation outpaces transmission capacity in certain regions, particularly in northern Germany, renewable electricity is frequently curtailed to maintain grid stability.
India’s green hydrogen auctions have rapidly driven production prices toward globally competitive levels, but a new analysis suggests those economics may depend heavily on access to Chinese electrolyzer technology.
Germany’s proposed overhaul of electricity network charges has triggered concern across the hydrogen industry, with developers warning that extending grid fees to electrolysis could undermine the economics of renewable hydrogen production.
