Peru is moving toward establishing a new renewable hydrogen and green ammonia export platform with the approval of a major port infrastructure project designed to support future clean fuel markets.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded LiCAP Technologies an $11.3 million grant to expand manufacturing capacity and accelerate commercialization of its dry electrode platform, a technology designed to reduce battery production complexity and improve scalability.

MODEC and Eld Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a 1.2 MW solid oxide fuel cell based power system integrated with carbon capture, targeting long-duration offshore deployment.

The Trump administration has announced more than $700 million in federal support for coal-related energy projects, including funding aimed at extending the life of existing plants, developing new coal generation, and supporting carbon capture initiatives.

California’s growing electricity demand and renewable integration challenges are increasing the importance of hybrid solar and battery storage projects capable of delivering both clean energy and grid flexibility. The BigBeau Solar+Storage Project in Kern County is the latest example of this shift, with EDF power solutions North America and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, Masdar, securing 15 year power purchase agreements covering output from the 128 MWac solar facility and its 40 MW/160 MWh battery energy storage system.

Chile’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading green hydrogen exporters has reached a significant regulatory milestone with the environmental approval of the $2.5 billion Volta green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Mejillones.

The voluntary carbon market continues to shift away from short-term offset strategies toward durable carbon removal solutions, a trend underscored by a new agreement between carbon dioxide removal (CDR) provider Climeworks and Canadian financial institution TD Bank.

The Lawson well in central Saskatchewan returned hydrogen concentrations of up to 286,000 parts per million when results were confirmed…

The United States installed 9.7 GWh of new energy storage capacity during the first quarter of 2026, setting a record for the period and reinforcing how rapidly battery deployment is becoming tied to grid reliability concerns, electricity price volatility, and the accelerating power requirements of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

South Korea’s Hanwha Power is attempting to position supercritical carbon dioxide power systems as a commercially viable decarbonization tool for pipeline infrastructure operators in Canada.
