How Orkney’s airport terminal piloted a green hydrogen trial

A trial of a combined heat and power (CHP) system powered with locally-generated hydrogen on the Orkney Islands in Scotland was conducted in October by principal contractor EMEC. It was said to be the first time hydrogen has been used to meet both the power and heat demands of a commercial airport in the UK. The trial was the culmination of years of preparation, EMEC told New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple MEI.

Why the IEA is boosting focus on Southeast Asia’s energy transition

The International Energy Agency (IEA) opened its first regional office outside Paris at the end of 2024. Its choice of Singapore for the new Regional Cooperation Centre reflects both the city-state’s status as a financial and energy hub and Southeast Asia’s rising strategic importance. Charlie Bush reports.

How ASEAN will cooperate on energy

Amid a shifting global order and a loss of clear economic direction from traditional global powers, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is emerging as both an increasingly confident and influential force, more determined to reshape the global narrative and to assert its role as a stabilising anchor in international affairs. The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030 captures the region’s collective ambition to build an integrated, sustainable and secure energy future, one that balances growth with environmental stewardship, innovation with inclusivity, and resilience with opportunity, writes Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director Peter Godfrey FEI.

Singapore taps subsea interconnectors for electricity imports

The insular city-state of Singapore is tapping the huge potential offered by subsea electricity connectors to access abundant renewable energy resources in its region. This wealthy country of six million people extends over just 735 km² of land and has an average GDP per head of $90,600. The country needs to import electricity and wants to diversify its energy supply while supporting regional decarbonisation, writes Bernadette Lee.

In the Autumn Budget, UK government aims to reduce fuel poverty, introduces charges for EV drivers, but keeps the North Sea Energy Profits Levy

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Autumn Budget will raise taxes to record levels over the next five years, introducing electric vehicle (EV) road charging, but also promises to reduce energy bills by £150 from next April. However, North Sea oil and gas operators were disappointed to see no relief on the Energy Profits Levy (EPL).

Powering ASEAN’s next chapter: grids, growth and the AI future

Southeast Asia’s energy transition starts from a very different place than the one unfolding in Europe or North America. For the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, this is not a story of tweaking a mature system at the margins, but of building new power systems fast enough to keep up with factories, cities and digital infrastructure that are still coming online, write Dr Lim Eu Shawn, Chairman of the Energy Institute Malaysia community and Chief Business & Solutions Officer with Aerodyne, and Sarah Suherman AMEI, Assistant Manager, GTM & Business Intelligence, Aerodyne.
