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.

With the energy sector witnessing an unprecedented transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources, the role of energy storage technologies (ESTs) in stabilizing the grid and reducing dependency on fossil fuels is gaining focus.

By 2050, the European Union aims to significantly boost hydrogen production to combat climate change by transitioning to low-carbon energy sources. This shift is bolstered by hydrogen’s potential to act as a zero-carbon fuel in various applications, including its integration into gas turbines for power generation.

The demand for sustainable energy solutions continues to reshape the automotive industry, with hydrogen fuel emerging as a viable alternative to fossil fuels—promising a path toward a carbon-free energy future.

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.
