Dutch startup Ore Energy has secured what it describes as continental Europe’s largest iron air battery agreement, alongside a $43 million Series A funding round that will support commercialization of its long duration energy storage technology.

Essar Group plans to invest £4.3 billion ($5.79 billion) in low carbon energy projects at its Stanlow Manufacturing Complex by 2035, underscoring the growing role existing refining infrastructure is expected to play in the United Kingdom’s industrial decarbonization strategy.

The PosHYdon pilot project has successfully produced green hydrogen on the operational Q13a-A platform off the Dutch coast, marking the first demonstration of hydrogen production integrated with offshore wind power and active natural gas production on a working offshore installation.

The United Kingdom’s hydrogen strategy is increasingly shifting from policy commitments toward industrial deployment, with a £50 million green hydrogen production facility scheduled to begin construction later this year at Milford Haven in southwest Wales.

The European Commission has approved a €59 million Slovenian state aid scheme to support the deployment of 370 MWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS), reinforcing the European Union’s broader strategy to strengthen electricity networks while accelerating decarbonization.

Natural hydrogen sits in an unusual position in the energy transition: geologically documented across multiple continents, commercially attractive in principle,…

Aluminum is becoming an increasingly important decarbonization target for electric vehicle manufacturers because its production is energy intensive and the…

A consortium including HOCHTIEF, Siemens Financial Services, and Demeter has taken a 15% equity stake in the Phase One Lionheart…

Jinko ESS and Dutch energy storage developer Eturn have expanded their collaboration with the deployment of a 40 MWh utility scale battery energy storage project in Germany. The project reflects a broader trend in the European storage market, where developers are moving beyond pilot installations toward larger commercial assets designed to participate in wholesale electricity markets and provide grid services.

Germany’s growing renewable electricity surplus has created an increasingly expensive challenge for grid operators. As wind and solar generation outpaces transmission capacity in certain regions, particularly in northern Germany, renewable electricity is frequently curtailed to maintain grid stability.
