Stegra has secured €1.4 billion in new funding to advance its hydrogen-based steel plant in northern Sweden, underscoring both investor confidence and the scale of financial commitment required to bring low-carbon steel technologies to market.

Gray hydrogen, produced from unabated fossil fuels, currently accounts for approximately two percent of global CO₂ emissions. That figure alone…

Austria has committed €275 million to four national flagship hydrogen projects and is actively developing the diplomatic groundwork for a…

A consortium including Fortum, ČEZ, MVM, and Slovenské elektrárne has signed an agreement with Framatome to develop a fully European nuclear fuel solution for VVER reactors.

ENGIE is expanding its battery energy storage footprint across key markets, with new projects in Spain and France pushing its European pipeline beyond 1 GW.

Grid congestion has emerged as one of the most immediate constraints on renewable energy deployment in the Netherlands, with thousands of projects reportedly facing delays due to limited connection capacity. A new agreement between TenneT and Green Energy Storage signals a shift toward using large-scale battery storage as an operational tool to manage these bottlenecks.

The UK’s hydrogen sector has struggled to convert policy ambition into bankable projects, with only a limited number progressing to final investment decision despite successive funding rounds. A 20 MW project in Wales has now crossed that threshold, offering a test case for whether government-backed hydrogen can move into execution.

The agreement between Zelestra and EDP marks Spain’s first power purchase agreement to retrofit battery storage onto an operational solar plant, signaling a shift in how renewable assets are structured and optimized as dispatchability gains importance alongside generation capacity.

Neoen has announced two new battery energy storage system projects totaling 348 MW and 896 MWh combined capacity, signaling continued scaling of storage assets across both mature and emerging electricity markets.

A new collaboration between the University of Regina and the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association is moving carbon capture technology from laboratory development into field deployment, targeting one of the world’s most emissions-intensive industrial value chains.
