On 20 February 2025, the European Commission closed its IF24 renewable hydrogen auction after attracting 61 bids across 11 Member States requesting…

An early‑stage production target of 300,000 t yr at Envision Energy’s 500 MW Chifeng facility positions it among the world’s largest green hydrogen‑to‑ammonia…

With electricity demand expected to surge by 26 GW by 2035, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has positioned itself at the forefront of U.S. small modular reactor (SMR) development, filing a permit application to build the country’s first commercial-scale SMR at its Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Intersect Power has secured $837 million to develop 1 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas—an award-winning transaction that signals how utility-scale storage is evolving to serve not only grid stability but also the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Germany and the Netherlands have committed €600 million to a joint tender aimed at jumpstarting renewable hydrogen imports into Northwest Europe.

BP has exited its joint development of the 250MW H2-Fifty project in the Port of Rotterdam—a decision that signals both strategic recalibration and the financial headwinds confronting early-stage electrolytic hydrogen ventures. HyCC, BP’s former partner, will instead pursue a similarly sized standalone project, H2Next, shifting timelines and partnerships but retaining ambition in Europe’s largest port.

Solar-powered hydrogen production has long promised zero-emissions fuel from abundant sunlight and water, but the pathway to commercialization remains obstructed by slow, costly manufacturing processes.

A global dataset of 5,360 large infrastructure projects reveals that virtually no energy sector escapes budgetary slippage—but nuclear infrastructure stands out as the most financially volatile.

Sarawak is positioning itself as a future exporter, yet the state’s hydrogen ambitions remain constrained by structural and economic hurdles. Despite policy alignment and hydropower advantages, short-term investor caution and skill shortages continue to inhibit momentum.

The detection of hydrogen concentrations exceeding 96% and helium up to 5% in mud gas samples from HyTerra’s recently drilled Sue Duroche 3 well marks a notable development for natural hydrogen exploration in North America.
