China’s investment in the hydrogen sector increased by more than 160% year over year during the first half of 2026, reinforcing Beijing’s strategy of building a large domestic hydrogen economy centered on industrial decarbonization and energy security rather than relying solely on equipment exports.

Indonesia is moving closer to developing its first landfill gas to hydrogen project, with a feasibility study concluding that the proposed pilot at the Sarimukti landfill in West Java could serve as a foundation for broader low carbon hydrogen deployment if key regulatory, commercial, and technical barriers are addressed.

In January 2025, CATL announced a 19 GWh storage partnership with Masdar valued at US$6 billion for the Round-The-Clock solar…

India’s green hydrogen auctions have rapidly driven production prices toward globally competitive levels, but a new analysis suggests those economics may depend heavily on access to Chinese electrolyzer technology.

China’s electrolyzer industry has entered a new phase of global expansion. Publicly available shipment data show Chinese manufacturers exported at least 321.25 MW of electrolyzers during the first half of 2026, compared with just 18.5 MW during the same period in 2025.

Japan’s structural deficit in renewable energy generation is forcing its major energy conglomerates to rely on complex transcontinental supply chains…

Australia’s emerging natural hydrogen sector has reached another exploration milestone as D3 Energy announced prospective natural hydrogen resources of up to 88 billion cubic feet across two geological structures in South Australia’s Arckaringa Basin.

The global race to commercialize small modular reactors is increasingly becoming a contest over industrial supply chains and geopolitical influence rather than reactor technology alone.

Japan’s largest power producer, JERA Co., Inc., and South Korea’s Samsung C&T Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore collaboration on strengthening regional hydrogen and ammonia value chains, highlighting a growing shift from individual project development toward cross border infrastructure coordination.

The LDES Council estimates that up to 8 terawatts of long-duration energy storage capacity will be needed globally by 2040,…
