Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions fell to 640 million tonnes in 2025, a 1.5 percent year-on-year decline that places the country 49 percent below its 1990 baseline. On paper, the national target under the Climate Change Act was met. In practice, the slowdown in emission reductions compared with 2024 signals a more fragile trajectory, driven less by structural decarbonization and more by weak industrial output and favorable solar conditions, according to Agora Energiewende’s annual review of Germany’s energy year.

John Risley’s World Energy GH2 has abandoned plans for a green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Stephenville, Newfoundland, acknowledging that…

Global low-carbon hydrogen demand is projected to surge from roughly 1 million tonnes per annum today to nearly 200 million tonnes by 2050, according to Wood Mackenzie, intensifying the search for alternative production pathways.

Green hydrogen economics remain constrained by energy intensity. Conventional solar driven electrolysis requires significant electrical input to split water, with the oxygen evolution reaction accounting for a large share of the thermodynamic and kinetic losses.
