Brussels’ approval of Italy’s €6 billion ($6.9 billion) hydrogen support scheme comes at a moment when verified green hydrogen output in the country remains near industrial infancy, with production estimated at just 27 tonnes per day.
A revised aggregation of hyperscaler capital plans, adjusted for construction inflation and expanded private AI investment cycles, places the global AI infrastructure buildout near $9 trillion through 2030.
Jinko ESS has secured a strategic cooperation agreement covering 1 GWh of battery energy storage systems across the region. The portfolio is focused on grid-side and utility-scale deployments, reflecting a broader shift in storage demand from behind-the-meter applications toward system-level balancing.
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to expose a structural weakness in global logistics: a freight system still overwhelmingly dependent on diesel.
A projected €24 billion windfall for oil companies linked to rising fuel prices across Europe has reignited debate over windfall taxation, with Transport & Environment calling for a temporary levy on excess profits.
