Australia’s ambitions to establish itself as a hub for e-fuels production have taken a step forward, with HIF Global confirming that its proposed $2 billion green hydrogen–based methanol facility in Tasmania will now be built on the site of the former Burnie paper mill rather than its previously selected location in Hampshire.

AI-driven data centers are emerging as one of the fastest-growing loads on global electricity systems, with some forecasts warning that U.S. facilities alone could add up to 50 GW of demand by 2030—equivalent to the consumption of every household in California.
Poland-based Hynfra and the Government of Mauritania signed a Framework Agreement for the development of a $1.5 billion integrated green ammonia facility.
Europe’s automotive and energy transition is colliding at the battery cell. Volkswagen Group, through subsidiaries PowerCo and Elli, is now positioning itself at the center of this shift with three announcements: a test vehicle running on QuantumScape’s solid-state battery, the series-ready Unified Cell slated for mass-market EVs, and a 40 MWh stationary energy storage system […]
Electric vehicle adoption in the Philippines is moving into a new regulatory phase. On Sept. 9, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Department Circular DC2025-09-0015, amending earlier EV Recognition Guidelines with the goal of creating a clearer and more harmonized classification system. The update, which takes effect Sept. 20, 2025, is intended to align fully […]
Europe’s plastics recycling industry is warning of an accelerating crisis as plant closures and investment shortfalls erode its ability to support the EU’s circular economy targets. In a letter to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, major trade bodies including EuRIC and Plastics Recyclers Europe cautioned that soaring energy costs, regulatory fragmentation, and intensifying […]
The SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar Group (SHS Group), which includes Dillinger, Saarstahl, and ROGESA, has signed a decade-long agreement with France’s Verso Energy for the annual supply of at least 6,000 tons of renewable hydrogen.
The race to scale up Europe’s hydrogen economy has gained new momentum as AquaVentus, Germany’s offshore wind-to-hydrogen initiative, and Hydrogen Scotland signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen cooperation on green hydrogen production, transport, and deployment across the North Sea region.
For much of the twentieth century, energy systems operated under vertically integrated utilities that planned, dispatched, and balanced power and gas flows under a single hierarchy. Liberalization in the 1990s dismantled these structures, replacing internal engineering coordination with fragmented interactions across generators, grid operators, retailers, and aggregators. Today, decarbonization multiplies the challenge, adding new vectors—hydrogen, […]
The Philippines generates an estimated 2.7 million metric tons of plastic waste annually, with roughly 20% leaking into oceans, rivers, and waterways, according to World Bank data. Against this backdrop, the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) is advancing a circular economy model in the Davao region, seeking to shift from clean-up campaigns to systemic waste reduction […]
