The EU’s Connecting Europe Facility for Energy carries a total grant budget of €5.88 billion for the period 2021 to…

Global mean sea level has risen by 9.4 centimeters since 2000, with satellite data showing an average annual increase of 3.64 millimeters since 1999, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. The rate is not static. It has accelerated from 1.3 millimeters per year in the early 20th century to 3.7 millimeters per year in the most recent observational window assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Spain’s push to scale domestic green molecule production is entering a capital-intensive phase, with Enagás Renovable outlining a €2.5 billion investment plan aimed at accelerating both renewable hydrogen and biomethane deployment.

The cost and complexity of green hydrogen production remain among the most persistent barriers to scaling the sector, with conventional electrolysis systems requiring both significant electricity input and extensive infrastructure. A spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Photreon, is advancing an alternative approach that bypasses electricity altogether, attracting attention at Hannover Messe.

With hydrogen vehicle production timelines tightening across Europe, supply chain readiness is emerging as a key constraint, prompting the BMW Group to secure green hydrogen volumes for its Austrian manufacturing base through a new agreement with Lhyfe.

With demand for e-SAF projected to reach 36,000 tonnes by 2030 and surge beyond 160,000 tonnes by 2035, Europe’s aviation sector is entering a regulatory phase where compliance obligations are already outpacing industrial readiness, according to industry assessments cited by Scandinavian Airlines.

A 25MW electrolyzer installation capable of producing up to 3,700 tonnes of hydrogen annually marks a tangible step in Europe’s effort to anchor hydrogen supply in industrial clusters, as John Cockerill completes equipment deployment at the Hyoffwind project in Belgium’s Port of Zeebrugge.

Germany’s target to reach up to 10 GW of domestic electrolyzer capacity by 2030 is increasingly shaping cross-border partnerships, as technology providers and infrastructure companies position themselves to capture industrial hydrogen demand.

Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a massive cargo ship pitches in a deep-water swell. The ambient temperature…

Europe’s circular economy workforce expanded by 10 percent between 2014 and 2023, reaching approximately 4.4 million jobs across the EU-27, yet structural barriers continue to limit the transition from niche applications to system-wide industrial adoption, according to assessments published by the European Environment Agency. The findings highlight a widening gap between policy ambition and market readiness as the bloc prepares its forthcoming Circular Economy Act.
