The European Union is moving to broaden its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to include manufactured goods such as car parts, household appliances, and construction equipment, signaling a shift from targeting raw materials to addressing embedded emissions deeper in global supply chains.

Iron-sodium batteries, built on sodium metal chloride chemistry, are advancing from laboratory validation into utility-observed system testing.

Fortescue Metals Group has revised the power purchase agreement for its Holmaneset green hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway, effectively postponing the plant’s operational start beyond 2029.

At H2 MEET, while electrolyzers, mobility platforms, and hydrogen infrastructure maps dominated the exhibition floor, 3M delivered a perspective that cut across the hype: hydrogen today does not face a technological barrier in production or transport. Its primary constraint is industrial uptake.

ABB and HDF Energy’s joint-development agreement (JDA) to design high-power hydrogen fuel cell units for marine applications addresses a technical gap that has constrained hydrogen’s role at sea.

Nova Power & Gas, a subsidiary of the E-INFRA Group, has officially commissioned Romania’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS), a 200 MW facility with 400 MWh of storage capacity in Florești, Cluj County.

China’s nuclear buildout continues to progress through methodical construction milestones rather than capacity announcements, and the completion of cold functional testing at Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant’s Unit 3 is one such inflection point.

ExxonMobil’s decision to reduce planned low-carbon spending by roughly one-third marks a sharper turn in the oil and gas sector’s recalibration of energy transition strategies.

Drax has confirmed it will cut more than half of its global carbon capture and storage (CCS) division, eliminating around 100 roles across its core business and its CCS-focused subsidiary, Elimini, in the UK and the United States.

Sustainable aviation fuel capacity is expanding far more slowly than airline decarbonization targets require, and the gap is increasingly shaped less by feedstock availability than by project execution risk. Against that backdrop, Samsung E&A’s newly awarded Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for a large-scale SAF facility in Louisiana highlights where bottlenecks are forming in the global SAF market.
