Energy transition analysis: data driven reporting that separates realities from fairy tales in hydrogen, storage, nuclear and grids.
This paper introduces the Primordial Hydrogen Continuum — a conceptual framework uniting cosmology, geochemistry, and evolutionary biology under a single physical principle: that hydrogen is the fundamental bridge between energy and structure.
OECD electricity generation reached 1,027.6 TWh in July 2025, marking a modest 2.3% year-on-year increase, yet beneath this incremental growth lies a sharply bifurcated energy transition—one where renewable capacity expansion accelerates while structural vulnerabilities in traditional power systems emerge.
“For more than two centuries, humanity has been producing hydrogen in its bound form — hydrocarbons — without realizing it. Oil and gas are not primary energy sources — they are secondary compounds, products of hydrogen degassing from the mantle and its reaction with carbon in the crust.”
The International Maritime Organisation faces a decisive vote this week on whether to impose binding emissions targets on an industry responsible for moving 90% of global trade.
Global renewable power capacity is projected to increase by 4,600 GW between 2025 and 2030—equivalent to adding the combined generation…
Eurasian Resources Group proceeded with controversial Congolese mineral rights acquisitions worth tens of millions despite internal compliance warnings that transactions…
Tata Steel Netherlands faces €685 million in emission allowance purchases between 2024 and 2030, marking a dramatic reversal from the…
The European Union’s adoption of the Low-Carbon Fuels Delegated Act (DA) marks the formal completion of the regulatory framework governing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) and low-carbon hydrogen.
A team from Chung-Ang University in Seoul and Qingdao University of Science and Technology has unveiled a ruthenium-based nanocatalyst capable of producing hydrogen directly from seawater, addressing one of the critical bottlenecks in sustainable hydrogen generation.
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.
