The UK’s low-carbon hydrogen pipeline has added another permitted project, with Uniper receiving planning approval for its Humber H2ub Green facility, a 120MW electrolytic hydrogen plant intended to supply industrial demand from the end of the decade.

Technip Energies has taken a minority equity stake in the DEZiR project, a synthetic aviation fuel (eSAF) facility under development in Rouen, France, signaling a strategic push into Europe’s decarbonized aviation sector.

The Huai’an Salt Cavern Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) project in Jiangsu Province, China, has entered full operation, marking a significant milestone in long-duration energy storage deployment.

DRIFT Energy and Enapter have signed a collaboration agreement to adapt anion exchange membrane electrolyser technology for deployment at sea, a move that directly addresses one of the sector’s most persistent technical bottlenecks.

TotalEnergies has agreed to sell a 50 percent stake in a portfolio of 11 battery storage projects to Allianz Global Investors, advancing nearly 800 MW of new capacity scheduled to enter operation by 2028.

In northern Sweden, the HYBRIT consortium has secured an extension of its temporary building permit for its underground hydrogen storage pilot in Luleå until 2031, allowing continued testing of a technology that early data suggest could cut variable hydrogen production costs by 25 to 40 percent.

Wärtsilä and Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy have signed a five-year memorandum of understanding aimed at addressing structural barriers to sustainable maritime operations across the UAE and potentially the wider GCC.

Germany’s green hydrogen pipeline continues to move selectively from strategy papers to steel in the ground, with bp confirming a 100 megawatt electrolyzer project that, once commissioned in 2027, is expected to produce up to 11,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually. The contract awarded to Bilfinger, as part of a consortium responsible for prefabrication, assembly, and installation of key plant components, provides a window into how large energy companies are now prioritizing execution capacity over headline ambition.

Saudi Arabia is accelerating its push into the global hydrogen economy with the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project, where Topsoe has been selected as the ammonia technology licensor.

CATL’s opening of the NING SERVICE Experience Center in Riyadh on January 10, 2026 marks a strategic pivot from equipment supply toward operational infrastructure, a segment increasingly determining whether electrification targets under Vision 2030 translate into sustained deployment.
