When Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) announced in September 2025 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Russia’s Rosatom to cooperate on small modular reactors (SMRs), the development added a new dimension to the shifting geopolitics of nuclear energy.

In May 2025, Lhyfe has became the first French company to secure RFNBO certification for its Bouin hydrogen facility. Four months later, it has extended this status to its entire installed portfolio in France and Germany.

Infrastructure investor Palladio Partners and battery specialist Voltfang have entered into a binding partnership aimed at deploying grid-scale storage projects across Germany.

The European Union’s adoption of the Low-Carbon Fuels Delegated Act (DA) marks the formal completion of the regulatory framework governing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) and low-carbon hydrogen.

The European Union’s commitment of €1.3 billion to Namibia’s clean energy and raw materials strategy has elevated the country’s profile as a prospective hub for green hydrogen and critical minerals.

European companies are entering an unusual phase of the energy transition: while renewable hydrogen production is expanding faster than demand, some buyers are signaling a readiness to pay sharply higher prices for the clean fuel.

The UK energy sector may see up to 960 MW of advanced nuclear capacity at Hartlepool under a newly signed agreement between Centrica and X-Energy, marking a significant shift toward small-modular reactor deployment as the country contends with retiring baseload assets and rising decarbonization targets.

Global hydrogen demand is projected to exceed 500 million tones a year by mid-century, yet most low-carbon supply options remain expensive or constrained by infrastructure. A recent analysis from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies spotlights an emerging pathway: stimulated geologic hydrogen production.

Lithuania is accelerating its clean-power agenda with a €130 million order for battery energy storage systems (BESS) from Rolls-Royce Power Systems, marking the manufacturer’s largest single storage contract to date.

ElevenEs, a Luxembourg-based developer of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, is evaluating a €600 million gigafactory in Poland, with construction targeted for late 2027.
