Spain’s push to anchor itself as a leading hydrogen producer gained new traction this week, as the Ministry for the Ecological Transition confirmed EUR 126.4 million in operating subsidies for two electrolyzer projects totaling 160 MW, installations that narrowly missed financing in the second European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) auction due to exhausted EU funds.

As Southeast Asia’s packaging waste volumes continue to rise—driven by rapid urbanization, growing consumption, and limited recycling infrastructure, policymakers and industry leaders are intensifying efforts to develop systems that can shift the region toward a functional circular economy.

ENGIE has won its first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in India, marking a strategic entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets.

Germany’s grid operators are processing an unprecedented surge in applications for large battery storage systems, many exceeding 100 MW, yet projects continue to advance only in strict chronological order.

Singapore’s energy and chemicals sector accounts for one of the country’s most emissions-intensive industrial clusters, with the energy and chemicals…

South Korea’s latest move to expand green hydrogen production arrives at a time when global electrolyzer deployment is surging, growing more than 400% between 2022 and 2024, according to IEA data.

Europe consumes resources at a rate far beyond what its ecosystems can regenerate, and the European Commission’s newly released Bioeconomy Strategy, expected to guide policy through 2030, does little to shift that trajectory.

Across Europe’s agricultural sector, biogas has long been treated as a low-value byproduct—useful for electricity generation, but structurally constrained by methane leakage risks and CO₂-rich exhaust streams.

South Korea’s hydrogen ambitions are moving into a new phase, with Hyundai Motor Group preparing a 1-gigawatt green hydrogen production…

Australia’s energy transition hinges on a single figure: up to 95% variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in the National Energy Market by 2030, according to CSIRO and AEMO modeling. Reaching that threshold, necessary for the country to hit its 43% emissions-reduction target by 2030 and net zero by 2050, requires storage technologies that can deliver reliable, multi-hour power far beyond the capabilities of lithium-ion systems.
