Heavy duty transport transition will rely more on hydrogen than batteries, according to new report

The global rush to zero emissions offers the transport sector two choices for decarbonisation, and among passenger vehicles it is clear the choice has already been made in favour of battery electric vehicles (EVs). However, despite some obstacles remaining, the hydrogen fuel cell is expected to dominate in the heavy-duty, long-distance trucking sector, according to Rethink Energy.

Ensuring an affordable and effective energy transition in Europe

How much will Europe’s energy transition cost? Here, Derk Swider, Chief Economist, and Eike Blume-Werry, Manager of Energy Policy Analysis, both at E.ON, look at cost optimisation across supply and demand, and stress that early action will pay dividends.

How energy companies can combat the threat of European deindustrialisation

Europe’s industrial competitiveness is under increasing pressure from high energy costs and growing competition from the US and Asia, which could shift manufacturing activity away from the continent. The situation presents both challenges and opportunities for the energy sector, which could become a cornerstone of efforts to retain energy-intensive industries in Europe, writes Florence Carlot, Partner with Arthur D Little.

What would it take to decarbonise the US electric grid by 2035?

A new report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has found that several key challenges still need to be understood and addressed over the next decade to enable the speed and scale of deployment necessary to achieve 100% clean electricity, or a net zero power grid, in the US by 2035. Achieving this goal would be a major stepping stone to economy-wide decarbonisation in the US by 2050.

UK’s largest blue hydrogen production hub given initial go ahead

The first phase of what will be the UK’s largest blue hydrogen production plant, located in Cheshire, north-west England, has been given the green light by the local planning authority. Meanwhile, the UK government has unveiled funding to develop a green hydrogen hub in the Tees Valley, north-east England.

Why global logistics cannot afford to ignore Gulf instability

With the push for battery-electric road transport transition solutions, alternative sustainable and waste-based fuels are underestimated, despite their bridging and complementary advantages, argues Matthias Maedge, Vice President, Commercial Road Transport Decarbonisation, at mobility and payment solutions company Eurowag.

Now is the time to build more off-grid energy systems

Europe lags behind the US when it comes to the adoption of off-grid generation schemes, which typically connect to a local microgrid or direct to the consumer and can be built at lower costs than large power stations, writes off-grid advisor Nick Rosen.

Clean Industrial Deal: EU unveils plan to drive competitiveness and decarbonisation

The European Commission (EC) has launched the Clean Industrial Deal, a strategy to enhance industrial competitiveness while accelerating decarbonisation. Amid high energy costs and intensifying global competition, the initiative aims to position the green transition as a catalyst for economic resilience. However, while industry groups welcomed the measures, some environmental organisations have warned of gaps in implementation.

China’s next five-year plan backs clean energy but leaves emissions targets unclear, says CREA

China has released the draft outline of its 15th Five-Year Plan, setting out the country’s economic, energy and climate priorities for the period 2026–2030. The blueprint is broadly supportive of clean energy development, including a target to reduce CO₂ emissions per unit of GDP – carbon intensity – by 17% compared to 2005 levels between 2026–2030.
