RAG Austria AG has successfully stored approximately 500,000 cubic meters of hydrogen in a depleted sandstone gas reservoir in Gampern, Upper Austria. This demonstration, part of the Underground Sun Storage 2030 (USS 2030) project, confirms the technical feasibility of large-volume, seasonal hydrogen storage in porous geological formations.

A new class of recyclable, lightweight hydrogen tanks developed in South Korea is gaining commercial traction abroad, signaling a possible inflection point in the hydrogen mobility materials market.

With Alberta’s Premier touting hydrogen as the province’s “next trillion dollar industry,” energy watchers are turning their gaze to the largely untapped potential of natural hydrogen—and REV Exploration Corp. is moving quickly to stake a claim.

When Liverpool’s hydrogen bus fleet managed just 450 journeys in its first year—averaging fewer than two trips per bus per month—it became emblematic of a national trend: high-profile hydrogen mobility trials are failing to deliver operational viability or cost-efficiency.

Electric Hydrogen’s 100 MW HYPRPlant will power what’s projected to become the world’s largest eFuels production facility—Infinium’s “Project Roadrunner” in Texas.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) has inaugurated its first battery manufacturing facility in northern China — a strategic move reflecting the accelerating regional demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and energy storage solutions.

India and the European Union have launched two coordinated research and innovation calls worth ₹391 crore (€41 million) to tackle marine pollution and scale up waste-to-hydrogen technologies—two of the most urgent environmental and energy challenges confronting both economies.

On Sunday, Hydrom—Oman’s state-owned hydrogen orchestrator—finalized Project Development and Usufruct Agreements with India’s ACME Group, officially integrating Phases 2 and 3 of the Duqm-based hydrogen and ammonia project into the country’s centralized green hydrogen framework.

As Belgium prepares for the 2025 nuclear phase-out, grid reliability is emerging as a central challenge. The latest response comes from Kallo, Beveren, where ENGIE and NHOA Energy have started construction on a 400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS)—a project positioned as both a symbol of transition and a technical asset in Belgium’s evolving energy infrastructure.

While most developers rely on simplified spreadsheets or generic LCOH calculators, Verdigy is betting on a more granular, system-integrated approach. At a recent Energy News webinar, Dr. Karen Das, simulation software lead at Verdigy, presented Energize, the company’s digital twin platform designed to simulate green hydrogen ecosystems with high fidelity and operational realism.
