Google and Italian energy storage developer Energy Dome are advancing a 23 MW/200 MWh carbon dioxide battery project in County Offaly, Ireland, aimed at demonstrating how long duration energy storage (LDES) can support renewable heavy grids.

Energy developer NatPower and Tesla have signed an agreement to deploy 25 GWh of battery storage capacity across Italy and the United Kingdom, representing the first stage of a broader programme that could require up to $5 billion in investment.

A pilot project in Elche, Spain is testing whether agricultural and forestry waste can become a scalable feedstock for renewable hydrogen through thermochemical conversion.

EU electricity prices for energy-intensive industries averaged more than twice US levels and nearly 50% above those in China in 2025, sustained from the prior year, while household electricity prices in many countries have risen faster than incomes and inflation since 2019. The political consequences are accumulating. Governments across Europe spent a decade positioning the [...]

Syntholene Energy’s completion of a geothermal integrated Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) demonstration facility in Húsavík, Iceland introduces a technical approach that seeks to partially decouple hydrogen production from full electrical dependence by integrating geothermal heat into the process.
