ITM Power has signed the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for Uniper’s Humber H2ub®—a 120MW green hydrogen project shortlisted in the UK’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2).

With Europe aiming to triple geothermal energy deployment by 2030, the Geological Surveys of Europe (EuroGeoSurveys) has issued a clear message: the region’s geothermal ambitions are constrained not by technology or policy gaps, but by inadequate access to geoscientific data.

In the context of burgeoning decarbonization efforts, the demand for underground storage solutions for gases such as natural gas, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide is accelerating. This understudied aspect presents complex technical, economic, and policy challenges that require multidisciplinary insights for effective resolution.

As the global green hydrogen industry pushes toward industrial-scale deployment, technological efficiency at high pressures is emerging as a key…

Poland’s Orlen Group has secured PLN 1.7 billion (approximately $459 million) in non-repayable funding from the National Recovery Plan to accelerate development of its hydrogen production portfolio.

Amid mounting pressure from falling power prices and geopolitical volatility, Norwegian utility Statkraft has unveiled a strategy to reduce its annual operating expenses by 15%—equivalent to approximately NOK 2.9 billion (USD 290 million)—by 2027.

As global industries push to decarbonize, the high cost and limited durability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts remain persistent obstacles in scaling green hydrogen production. But new research from Sweden’s Umeå University suggests that a subtle atomic-level tweak may offer a path to lower-cost, high-performance electrolysers that can endure industrial conditions—without reliance on expensive precious metals.

Germany’s ABO Energy GmbH & Co KGaA has officially brought its first green hydrogen facility online, marking a pivotal step in the company’s diversification beyond wind power.

National Gas and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a cross-border pipeline between the United Kingdom and Ireland capable of transporting 100% hydrogen—marking a pivotal step toward a regional hydrogen economy.

With aviation under mounting pressure to decarbonize, the UK’s £10.8 million LH-SIFT project may provide a critical testbed for hydrogen’s long-term role in zero-emission flight. Led by ZeroAvia, the initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of a novel liquid hydrogen management system into a Dornier 228 aircraft—marking what could become the first commercial airframe to fly using cryogenic hydrogen fuel.
