Chile’s ongoing energy transition gained new momentum as Colbún, one of the country’s largest power generation companies, inaugurated its first industrial-scale green hydrogen plant integrated into a thermoelectric power station.

As Europe prepares to unveil its Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), a coalition of leading clean transport innovators is urging the EU to prioritize zero-carbon technologies in shipping and aviation—two of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize.

Just hours before bids were due on October 17, South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment abruptly canceled the Clean Hydrogen Power Generation Bidding (CHPS), sending shockwaves through the energy sector.

China has initiated its first scientific drilling campaign for natural hydrogen with the launch of the “Jinhydrogen Ketan 1” well in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, marking a strategic step from theoretical research toward practical evaluation of this emerging energy resource.

Daimler Truck AG, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), and Kawasaki Heavy Industries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore a reliable liquid hydrogen (LH₂) supply chain connecting overseas production hubs with the European hinterland via the Port of Hamburg.

Europe’s race to decarbonize its energy system has intensified under mounting geopolitical pressures. This week, the European Commission approved sanctions banning new gas and LNG imports from Russia, reinforcing the urgency to diversify supply and accelerate the green transition.

Austria has announced €274.8 million ($291.6 million) in funding for four domestic hydrogen projects, signaling its intent to emerge as a central player in Europe’s hydrogen economy.

By 2030, Africa could emerge as a key supplier of green hydrogen to Europe—but only if European policy interventions address the continent’s prohibitive financing conditions.

Global demand for hydrogen reached nearly 100 million tonnes (Mt) in 2024, up around 2 % from the previous year and largely driven by traditional industrial uses such as refining and ammonia production.

ITM Power has introduced the Alpha 50, a standardised 50MW green hydrogen plant priced at €50 million ($58.2 million), a move that positions the UK-based manufacturer at the forefront of cost-competitive electrolyzer deployment in Europe.
