Volvo has begun on-road trials of hydrogen internal combustion engine trucks in Europe, signaling a renewed push toward alternative decarbonization pathways that leverage existing engine platforms rather than fully replacing them.

Across the Asia Pacific region, a pipeline of more than 56 GW of planned green hydrogen capacity is translating into just 6.46 GW under construction, highlighting a widening execution gap in one of the world’s most closely watched energy transition markets.

Global renewable power capacity reached 5,149 gigawatts (GW) by end-2025, following a record 692 GW addition that marked a 15.5% annual increase, with renewables capturing 85.6% of all new capacity expansions.

At the Etzel salt cavern site in Lower Saxony, approximately 90 tonnes of hydrogen, equivalent to around one million standard cubic meters, have been injected into repurposed underground caverns as part of a live pilot designed to test storage performance under real operating conditions.

Revenue growth in Europe’s green hydrogen sector continues to lag behind capital intensity, with Paris-listed Lhyfe reporting a near doubling of annual revenue to approximately €10 million in 2025 while posting a net loss of €51 million, up sharply from €29.2 million a year earlier.

Global LNG markets are operating under an extreme stress test as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz collapses from an average of 94 vessels per day to just over five in early March 2026, with LNG and oil tanker flows falling from more than 53 per day to roughly two.

Daimler Truck AG, Volvo Group, and Toyota Motor Corporation have signed a non-binding agreement to jointly advance fuel cell systems through their existing joint venture, cellcentric.

Brussels’ approval of Italy’s €6 billion ($6.9 billion) hydrogen support scheme comes at a moment when verified green hydrogen output in the country remains near industrial infancy, with production estimated at just 27 tonnes per day.

Namibia is positioning its green hydrogen strategy alongside China’s 15th Five-Year Plan for 2026 to 2030, signaling a shift from project-level cooperation toward broader industrial alignment.

India has commissioned approximately 8,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production capacity as of February 2026, marking an early-stage milestone under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
