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.

Austria’s push to anchor green hydrogen as a pillar of industrial decarbonization gained financial clarity this week as OMV secured production funding of up to EUR 123 million for its planned electrolyzer plant in Bruck an der Leitha.

Europe’s hydrogen economy is taking a decisive step forward as Uniper and thyssenkrupp Uhde have formalized a framework agreement to deploy large-scale ammonia cracking technology.

Sweden’s industrial sector is deepening its commitment to fossil-free power as Vattenfall and Industrikraft in Sweden AB sign a joint investment agreement to advance the development of new nuclear power on the Värö Peninsula near Ringhals.

Belgium-based steel wire and coating specialist Bekaert has announced plans to halt production of electrolyzer components at its Bekintex facility in Wetteren, citing weaker-than-anticipated development of the green hydrogen market.

A team of researchers in South Korea has introduced a method that leverages post-consumer polystyrene (EPS, Styrofoam) waste—of which less than one percent is recycled—to produce liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). This approach aims to confront two persistent challenges in the clean-energy transition: the low recycling rate of polystyrene and the difficulties of storing, transporting, and using hydrogen at scale.

Yara Clean Ammonia has initiated construction of the Yara Eyde, billed as the world’s first container vessel designed to run on renewable ammonia.
