Just hours before bids were due on October 17, South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment abruptly canceled the Clean Hydrogen Power Generation Bidding (CHPS), sending shockwaves through the energy sector.

The fossil fuel industry’s communication strategy has undergone multiple iterations over three decades, moving from outright denial of climate science to promoting the premise that oil and gas extraction can coexist with climate stabilization efforts—a shift that former ExxonMobil climate scientist Lindsey Gulden characterizes as the sector’s “last narrative” after previous approaches lost credibility.

Clean energy investment now outpaces fossil fuel funding at a 2:1 ratio globally—€2 trillion versus €1 trillion in 2024—marking a…

Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries has taken a key step in maximizing land efficiency for clean energy deployment by piloting a battery stacking solution at its existing Jurong Island energy storage system (ESS).

South Australia is accelerating its clean energy transition with the launch of its first Firm Energy Reliability Mechanism (FERM) tender this month, seeking 700MW of long-duration energy storage (LDES) to stabilize the grid as it approaches a 100% net renewables target by 2027.

Major financial institutions directed over $1.6 trillion toward fossil fuel companies between 2021 and 2024, funding an industry launching more…

China has initiated its first scientific drilling campaign for natural hydrogen with the launch of the “Jinhydrogen Ketan 1” well in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, marking a strategic step from theoretical research toward practical evaluation of this emerging energy resource.

Belgium has taken a decisive step forward in Europe’s energy transition with the completion of the first phase of the Terhills Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Dilsen-Stokkem, Flanders.

Global demand for batteries continues to soar, driven by accelerating electrification across vehicles, energy storage, and heavy-duty transport.

Daimler Truck AG, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), and Kawasaki Heavy Industries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore a reliable liquid hydrogen (LH₂) supply chain connecting overseas production hubs with the European hinterland via the Port of Hamburg.
