Hydrogen has long been positioned as a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. Governments are funding electrolysers, corporations are piloting fuel-cell applications, and investors are backing large-scale production projects. Yet beneath this momentum lies a critical weakness-hydrogen distribution is falling dangerously behind. New research from Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh Business School highlights a structural imbalance…

Namibia has established a strategic precedent for Africa’s energy transition with the launch of a 5 MW green hydrogen plant at Walvis Bay port in December 2025. Developed by Plug Power in partnership with Cleanergy Solutions Namibia, this facility is among the first fully integrated, renewable-powered green hydrogen ports on the continent. Integrated Green Hydrogen…

Green hydrogen has moved beyond speculative promise. In 2026, it stands at the threshold of commercial relevance-reshaping how governments, industrial operators, and capital markets approach deep decarbonization. Produced through renewable-powered electrolysis, green hydrogen offers a zero-carbon pathway for sectors where electrification alone is insufficient, including steel, chemicals, shipping, aviation, and grid-scale energy storage. After years…

2025 marked a breakout year for Adani Group’s clean energy platform, as its solar, wind, and green hydrogen businesses achieved record scale, advanced technology adoption, and first-of-its-kind projects that solidify its role in the global energy transition. Adani’s clean energy portfolio crossed a major threshold in 2025, with its solar manufacturing arm Adani Solar surpassing 15,000 megawatts (MW)…

Hydrogen Power Revolution: Fuel Cells at 300°C Kyushu University researchers have achieved a landmark breakthrough in hydrogen energy technology. Their new solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operates efficiently at just 300°C, a dramatic reduction from the 700-800°C previously required. This advancement could lower costs and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen power systems across multiple sectors. The…

Royal NLR has opened the Energy to Propulsion Test Facility in Marknesse. This new modular research environment is the first in Europe that allows full system level testing of hydrogen electric propulsion for aviation. The facility is designed for startups, small and medium enterprises and major industrial partners that need to evaluate complex hydrogen based…

Hydrogen’s Inflection Point: From Promise to Performance The hydrogen economy is no longer a distant dream; it is a present-day investment reality. With over $110 billion committed across 500+ projects globally, hydrogen has crossed the threshold from theory to deployment. The first commercial use cases are live. The technology has matured. Institutional capital is on…

A New Chapter in India’s Clean Energy Story Hydrogen fuel technologies are transforming from research experiments into powerful tools for clean energy. As the world accelerates toward zero-emission mobility, hydrogen is proving to be an ideal alternative to electric batteries, especially for heavy-duty transport such as trucks, buses, and trains. Globally, hydrogen-powered transport has already…

Hydrogen is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of the clean energy transition. It offers a dense, zero-carbon fuel that can decarbonize electricity, industry, transport, and heating. Among the various forms of hydrogen, green hydrogen, produced from water or biomass using renewable power, presents the most sustainable path forward with near-zero lifecycle emissions and transformative potential for…
