Energy transition news from Europe: hydrogen, storage, grids, nuclear and policy in the EU, UK and wider region.

Scientists from CICERO, the international center for climate research in Norway, have shed light on the previously underestimated effects of hydrogen on the atmosphere. While hydrogen itself is not a greenhouse gas, its leaks can significantly influence the concentrations of methane, ozone, and other compounds, ultimately impacting climate change at a rate 11.6 times stronger than carbon dioxide.

Sardinian regional transport company Arst is making another attempt to introduce sustainable transportation solutions with the announcement of a new tender worth 138.7 million euros (excluding VAT) for the procurement of 10 trains powered by hydrogen and electricity. This initiative follows the failure of a previous tender that received no bids.
