The advent of hydrogen as a potential cornerstone in the energy transition has been met with both enthusiasm and skepticism. Recent market analyses and case studies present a multifaceted view of hydrogen’s role—highlighting its potential applications, regulatory challenges, and economic implications within the global energy sectors.
In 1997, over one-third of Europe’s electricity came from nuclear reactors. By 2023, that proportion had dropped to 23%. Yet…
U.S. clean hydrogen production capacity has seen a substantial increase, bolstered by a 26% growth over the last year, raising the total potential to 14 million metric tons per annum.
The increasing global demand for electricity is reshaping the energy landscape significantly, with nuclear energy standing out as a critical contender in meeting this demand.
One of the latest policy shifts was announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on January 3, with the unveiling of the 45V hydrogen tax credit rules. These rules have been described as both a compromise and a catalyst—reflecting their dual intent to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while fostering growth within the U.S. hydrogen industry.
According to Wood Mackenzie, 2025 is set to be a pivotal year for the low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia sectors, following modest progress in the previous year.
The global energy storage market is projected to grow exponentially, with lithium-ion technology at its helm—a dominance that poses challenges for alternatives like sodium-ion batteries. Yet, recent advancements by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory may offer a path forward in addressing key performance limitations of sodium-ion cells. These developments, while significant, underscore the broader struggles of diversifying energy storage technologies.
