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.

The European Union’s commitment of €1.3 billion to Namibia’s clean energy and raw materials strategy has elevated the country’s profile as a prospective hub for green hydrogen and critical minerals.

European companies are entering an unusual phase of the energy transition: while renewable hydrogen production is expanding faster than demand, some buyers are signaling a readiness to pay sharply higher prices for the clean fuel.

Global hydrogen demand is projected to exceed 500 million tones a year by mid-century, yet most low-carbon supply options remain expensive or constrained by infrastructure. A recent analysis from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies spotlights an emerging pathway: stimulated geologic hydrogen production.

At London International Shipping Week, the UK government announced £448 million ($609 million) in public funding for green maritime technologies, part of a £1.1 billion package with private investors.

Jordan has taken another step toward its ambition of becoming a regional hub for clean fuels, signing a memorandum of understanding with China’s UEG Green Hydrogen Development Holding Limited to explore a $1.155 billion green hydrogen project.

Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a global hub for green hydrogen gained new traction with a memorandum of understanding between Stargate Hydrogen and the Kingdom’s Research, Development, and Innovation Authority (RDI).

Algeria has joined the African Green Hydrogen Alliance (AGHA), signaling a deeper commitment to renewable energy cooperation across the continent.

Global investment in clean hydrogen has surged from $10 billion in 2020 to $75 billion in 2024, a trajectory that…

Hydrogen could play a pivotal role in protecting hybrid renewable plants from the economic drag of curtailment, according to new research from Italy’s University of Cagliari.
