The global chemical industry is increasingly shifting from pilot-scale circularity initiatives toward securing commercial volumes of recycled feedstocks, with BASF and Texas-based Encina strengthening their partnership around chemically recycled benzene production.

In Tarragona, Spain, a proposed green hydrogen facility backed by H2PRO and Sun Systems Group aims to connect renewable electricity generation with one of Europe’s largest industrial clusters, targeting the decarbonization of chemical and petrochemical operations.

The UK green hydrogen sector is moving from policy development toward commercial execution, but the transition remains dependent on securing investment, reducing technology risk, and establishing reliable demand. A new partnership between Protium Green Solutions Ltd and ITM Power highlights the industry’s current focus: combining project development expertise with electrolyzer manufacturing capabilities to advance industrial scale hydrogen production.

As demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, battery storage, advanced electronics, and artificial intelligence systems accelerates, critical minerals are increasingly becoming the foundation upon which decarbonization strategies depend.

Georgian officials have now indicated that a parallel green hydrogen pipeline is under consideration, potentially expanding the strategic scope of the Green Energy Corridor and positioning the region as a future exporter of both renewable electricity and low-carbon fuels.

The world is on track to invest $3.4 trillion in energy in 2026, yet the most significant shift is not the scale of spending but where the money is flowing. Electricity infrastructure, renewables, nuclear power, storage, and efficiency are attracting nearly twice as much investment as fossil fuels, reflecting how a second major energy crisis within five years is reshaping global perceptions of energy security.

According to research from the Transport & Environment (T&E), only nine of the EU’s 27 member states offer a tax advantage for electric company cars that is large enough to offset the higher upfront purchase price of an EV.

At 40 gigawatts of offshore wind, the Netherlands’ electricity grid infrastructure will require a cumulative investment of €246 billion between…

In 2025 policy frameworks across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States collectively converged on a shared assumption that is now becoming structurally difficult to sustain: that green hydrogen production will scale fast enough to supply synthetic fuels for aviation, maritime transport, and increasingly road vehicles.

Lhyfe and STRABAG have signed a strategic co development agreement aimed at accelerating green hydrogen projects in Germany, with potential expansion into other European markets over time.
