Europe’s installed battery capacity surpassed 17 gigawatts in 2025 after adding more than 7 gigawatts in just two years, yet deployment remains uneven across the continent.

Despite promising baseload power, geothermal continues to attract a fraction of the investment flowing into wind and solar. Mike Eason, Chief Technology Officer at John Crane, argues that the sector’s bottleneck is not resources—it’s engineering credibility.

Electrifying industrial process heat is already cheaper than fossil gas in parts of Europe, even under today’s unfavorable electricity pricing.

European power markets recorded over 700 hours of negative day-ahead prices in 2024, representing more than 8% of the year…

NORDHORDLAND & Gulen Interkommunale Renovasjonsselskap IKS has awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to Nordic Bulk AS for a new soil waste and aggregates washing plant, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

MASPV and Shanghai Shaanyao Group are structuring the acquisition and development of a portfolio of green hydrogen projects in Spain…

Cummins has decided to halt hydrogen electrolyzer production at its facility in Oevel, ending nearly 25 years of activity at the site formerly known as Hydrogenics. According to labor unions, around 100 jobs will be lost, adding to roughly 100 positions already cut by the end of 2024 as the company downsizes its hydrogen business.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an electrolyte architecture that enables protons to conduct charge via a “hopping” mechanism, offering an alternative to volatile, flammable liquids that dominate conventional battery designs such as lithium‑ion.

The UK’s hydrogen strategy is increasingly defined by whether projects can move beyond policy ambition and anchor demand in existing industrial systems. That tension sits at the core of a newly signed memorandum of understanding between Hy24 and Hynamics UK, which sets out plans to develop a £300 million green hydrogen facility in Fawley.

Global electricity demand growth is now outpacing total energy demand growth, a structural shift that is forcing policymakers and investors to rethink how energy systems are measured and planned.
