As Europe races to decarbonize and reindustrialize simultaneously, a bottleneck in rare earth mineral supply is threatening its high-tech sectors at a precarious moment.
India’s ambitions to decarbonize heavy industry and diversify its clean energy portfolio took a strategic step forward this week, as Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured land in Kandla, Gujarat for developing green hydrogen and ammonia production facilities.
With aviation under mounting pressure to decarbonize, the UK’s £10.8 million LH-SIFT project may provide a critical testbed for hydrogen’s long-term role in zero-emission flight. Led by ZeroAvia, the initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of a novel liquid hydrogen management system into a Dornier 228 aircraft—marking what could become the first commercial airframe to fly using cryogenic hydrogen fuel.
India’s battery supply chain could be on the verge of transformation, as Gautam Adani’s recent visit to Chinese battery giant CATL hints at a possible strategic partnership that would align with the country’s accelerating clean energy trajectory.
Spain has secured €32.5 million in EU funding for early-stage engineering and design work on its national hydrogen backbone, with Enagás announcing the grant agreement at its second Hydrogen Technical Day in Madrid.
Tree Energy Solutions (TES) and engineering consultancy Ramboll have concluded a joint engineering study for a CO₂ export terminal at TES’s Wilhelmshaven Green Energy Hub, aiming to position the North Sea port as a key node in Europe’s carbon logistics.
