The European Commission has approved $283 million (€260 million) in Belgian state aid to support a major carbon capture and storage initiative in Antwerp, signaling renewed momentum for industrial decarbonization in Europe’s most concentrated chemical and manufacturing clusters.

The energy transition has a learning problem, not just a technology problem. Shomron Jacob, AI/ML expert and entrepreneur with over…

Robert Bosch GmbH has introduced a new hydrogen fuel cell system designed specifically for public transport buses, expanding its portfolio of hydrogen propulsion technologies for commercial vehicles.

The United Kingdom’s hydrogen strategy is beginning to move from policy design to project execution. One of the first tangible signs of this transition is the final investment decision for the West Wales Hydrogen project, a 20 megawatt green hydrogen facility planned for Milford Haven.

Researchers from Ulm University and Friedrich Schiller University Jena have now demonstrated a material system capable of storing solar-derived energy for several days and converting it into hydrogen when required.

Within hours of US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, Brent crude surged toward $110 a barrel,…

Flexible plastic packaging is projected to remain a major environmental challenge, with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimating 20 trillion items could enter oceans over the next 15 years. In response, the foundation’s latest report provides a structured framework for paper-based alternatives, aiming to ensure these solutions deliver genuine environmental benefits and support a circular economy.

The aviation sector, the fastest-growing contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, is confronting a structural decarbonization challenge. Sustainable aviation fuels now account for less than one percent of global jet fuel demand, yet the UK has set a target of 22 percent SAF use by 2040.

Morocco is emerging as a continental leader in green hydrogen, leveraging its abundant solar and wind resources to position itself as a strategic supplier to Europe.
