Fluence Energy’s evaluation of India as a battery energy storage system manufacturing hub confronts a market paradox: ambitious capacity projections totaling 411 GWh by FY 2031-32 meet current installed capacity of just 4 GWh as of December 2024, creating a 103-fold expansion requirement within seven years. The gap between forecast demand and operational infrastructure exposes […]

The distinction between hydrogen concentration and hydrogen accumulation in subsurface systems represents the central engineering challenge facing natural hydrogen commercialization, a gap that current exploration enthusiasm has largely overlooked. While geological surveys map prospective zones and media coverage amplifies discovery potential, reservoir drive mechanisms and recovery efficiencies will ultimately determine which projects achieve industrial scale […]
China’s grid investment is projected to exceed ¥3 trillion this decade as the country works toward its dual-carbon goals, and the latest agreement between Shanghai Electric and Siemens positions both companies to capture a share of that momentum.
Germany’s decision to allocate €273 million to BMW’s Hy2Move program comes at a moment when the European Union is intensifying support for hydrogen technologies, more than €1.4 billion has already been committed through the IPCEI Hydrogen framework.
A new analysis from the University of Sheffield and the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies warns that the UK’s residual municipal waste is becoming a contested climate resource—one that current policy frameworks risk allocating inefficiently.
Global primary energy intensity, the key metric for measuring improvements in energy efficiency, is projected to rise by 1.8% in 2025, according to the IEA’s latest Energy Efficiency 2025 report, an improvement from 1% in 2024 but still far below the 4% annual increase agreed at COP28 for 2030.
EnergyPathways’ newly announced non-binding cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy positions compressed air energy storage (CAES) as a potential tool for absorbing surplus renewable electricity and delivering multi-day, low-carbon power, a capability conventional battery systems cannot economically provide at scale.
How an Austrian media executive ignored the “experts,” bought a car online in 2014, and accidentally became an electric mobility prophet In 2014, Franz Liebmann did something that made his colleagues think he’d lost his mind. He spent €100,000 on a car he’d never test-driven, from a company everyone said would be bankrupt within months, […]
The production cost gap has widened to over 30% between Chinese and European manufacturers, fundamentally reshaping who will control the global automotive industry. The Anatomy of a Cost Crisis Manufacturing a small SUV in China costs approximately USD 7,000 less than producing the same vehicle in Germany or the United States. This gap isn’t primarily […]
Air Liquide has taken a critical step toward resolving one of the hydrogen sector’s most persistent bottlenecks: long-distance transport at scale.
