Hydrogen is often hailed as a potential clean energy solution because when used as a fuel, it produces only water as a byproduct. However, storing hydrogen is notoriously difficult due to its physical and chemical properties.

The European Union is taking a significant step toward decarbonizing its transport sector, allocating nearly €422 million to 39 projects under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF).

In analyzing the ambitious European Green Deal (EGD), which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, a key insight emerges: despite the significant efforts underway, just 32 of 154 policy targets are fully on track as of mid-2024.

More than 86 million tons of carbon dioxide are emitted annually by the glass industry, largely due to its energy-intensive processes that require temperatures exceeding 1,500°C to melt raw materials like silica, soda ash, and limestone.

In a strategic shift aimed at revitalizing the UK’s energy sector, the government has unveiled plans to ease the development of mini nuclear power stations.

According to the International Energy Agency, approximately two-thirds of energy input in industrial processes dissipates as waste heat.

A recent study published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy provides measured insight into how photovoltaic (PV) and wind electricity supply chains are reshaping the carbon profiles of green hydrogen in Italy and the UK.

The concept of a digital twin—creating a virtual representation of a physical system to simulate its real-time operations—has seen increasing adoption across industrial applications.

Wolftank Group has secured a new hydrogen project with a contract valued at EUR 4.9 million. The Italian public transport provider TPER awarded the contract for the installation of a third hydrogen refueling station in Bologna.

The transition towards renewable energy in Europe is driving a surge in battery storage systems. As more countries increase their reliance on wind, solar, and other renewable resources, the importance of efficient energy storage solutions has become apparent.
