China’s push into green hydrogen production is gaining tangible momentum as state-owned oil and gas major Sinopec awards tenders for its 240 MW Uxin Banner Integrated Wind-Solar-Hydrogen Project in Inner Mongolia.
India’s green hydrogen sector is confronting a structural slowdown, with 94% of planned production capacity still at the announcement stage despite extensive policy signaling and investor interest.
Air Liquide has taken a critical step toward resolving one of the hydrogen sector’s most persistent bottlenecks: long-distance transport at scale.
Bangalore-based Enectron Energy Storage Systems Private Limited is stepping in with a new line of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) aimed at utility-scale and commercial-industrial applications, designed to provide scalable, reliable, and safe power solutions for a grid transitioning toward 100 percent clean energy.
Electricity is fast becoming the world’s defining energy currency. According to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2025, global electricity demand will rise by roughly 40 percent by 2035, outpacing all other energy growth. Yet this surge—driven by the electrification of transport, heating, and data-intensive technologies—exposes a deeper fault line: the fragility of the […]
