Next to this, workers in carbon-intensive sectors are likely to have many of the necessary skills to work in clean energy project management, engineering and construction roles. The two regions most likely to draw clean energy workers are Scotland (accounting for 16% of adverts) and the South West of the UK (14%), the plan notes. However it finds “acute” skills challenges are anticipated across clean energy sectors, and an education drive is essential as 63% of 16- to 24-year-olds “had never heard of green skills and didn’t know what they are.” The skills gap is likely to be exacerbated by [...]

Two GenH2 trucks were tested at the Simplon Pass in the canton of Valais to validate their fuel cells, batteries, e-axles, hydrogen tanks, and thermal management. Climbing from 600 metres to over 2,000 metres, Dr. Rainer Müller-Finkeldei, Head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks Product Engineering, said the route provided good conditions for testing the interplay of the fuel cell system with other components. The testing lasted 14 days, with the two trucks covering 6,500km and climbing a combined 83,000 metres, where they tackled 20km-long uphill and downhill stretches with gradients of up to 12%. The vehicles were refuelled by a mobile Air [...]

In an online statement, the airport claimed it is already one of the “largest single-site suppliers of SAF to the business aviation community, having sold over 2 million litres of 38% blended SAF since 2021.” Through the supply deal with H2R, Farnborough Airport will become the “first and only” airport in the world to offer fuel with a 20% blend across its entire supply by 2028, according to CEO, Simon Geere. The CEO added, “The transition to new fuelling technologies like this requires markets like ours which are able to sustain the higher upfront investment costs necessary to make things [...]

Designed by a subsidiary of State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), the fuel cell can reportedly power the station independently for 24 days at a 30kW output. It also uses excess wind and solar power to produce hydrogen, which is stored and converted back into electricity when renewable generation is low. Furthermore, the system could grow from 50kW up to multiple megawatts due to its modular and scalable design. The system has also been equipped with a hydrogen storage tank with a 50m capacity. The system is reported to reduce CO2 emissions by around 1kg/kWh compared to diesel generators. It is also said to [...]

Unveiled to an enthusiastic audience at last week’s European CO2 Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Atom combines forecasted analytics, interactive tools, and deep sector expertise to give users a sharper, faster, and more strategic view of the market. The initial release focuses on CO2, with more gases, wider data, and more functionality to follow. “This is an incredibly exciting launch, demonstrating not only our investment in the future of global industrial gas intelligence but our commitment to unlocking and delivering added value to the industry,” said Rob Cockerill, Global Content Director at gasworld Global Insights (GWGI). “With industrial gas market data [...]

Last year, multinational company IHI Corporation signed a term sheet to import up to 400,000 tonnes from Acme’s project. Now, IHI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hokkaido Electric Power, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), Mizuho Bank, and Tokyo Century Corporate. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the partners plan to create a robust ammonia value chain between India and Japan. Reportedly, the six companies will evaluate the establishment of a special-purpose company for ammonia production and investment participation. Hokkaido Electric is testing ammonia co-firing at its coal plant and studying infrastructure needs, while Mitsubishi Gas [...]

State-owned bank KfW, which is supporting the development with a €24bn ($25.9bn) loan, transferred €172m ($186m) to the H2 Amortisationskonto GmbH (AMKG) special purpose vehicle to make the payment. The pipeline network to be built and operated by the private sector, and financed by user fees, transmission system operators (TSOs) can secure loans from AMKG to cover initial losses. © FNB Gas | Map of the HCN Repayments will be made once TSOs start logging revenues from the network. “With the amortisation account, we have developed an innovative financing concept that encourages private-sector investment and enables the long-term full financing [...]

As part of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline initiative, the converted salt cavern is set to begin storing hydrogen in 2027. Neuman & Esser will supply two hydrogen compressors to enable high-pressure injection and withdrawal of the green fuel. EWE will use the small-scale 500m3 salt cavern storage project in Rüdersdorf as a proof of concept for the facility in Huntorf, building upon the pilot it completed last December. They plan to scale up 1,000 times to develop a full-size commercial site at Huntorf. “With 37 salt caverns, EWE alone has more than 15% of all German cavern storage facilities that [...]

The hydrogen aviator was selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to “address research questions with specific implications for the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).” As part of the undisclosed grant, ZeroAvia will study how hydrogen-electric propulsion and autonomous flight systems could be integrated into a 3.6-tonne aircraft. The Cessna Caravan, a civilian aircraft made by Textron, will be the test platform. Ultimately, DAF intends to evaluate how hydrogen technologies could be used in unmanned military applications, potentially reducing engine noise and thermal signature. “The feasibility study will provide greater [...]

Elliott, which had previously led investor revolts against the likes of BP, called for RWE to significantly increase and accelerate its share buyback programme – signalling a push for greater shareholder returns. This follows RWE’s recent decision to reduce its 2025-2030 investment plan by 25% while implementing stricter investment criteria, and raising return targets. While the activist investor said the measures were an “important first step towards more disciplined capital allocation,” it expressed “disappointment” over the lack of clarity regarding RWE’s plans to improve returns. “Given the announced CAPEX reduction and RWE’s persistent undervaluation, we believe there is a compelling [...]
