• [New] Technology group Wartsila has begun testing its thermal balancing engines using pure hydrogen and expects to have an engine and power plant concept capable of running on 100% hydrogen by 2025, enabling the transition to decarbonised energy systems around the world. Robin Whitlock
• [New] Four lucky US cement producers are going to each receive a portion of US$ 1.2 billion in funding for their decarbonization projects as part of the Biden Administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. World Cement
• [New] The growth in worldwide power generation will largely be driven by decarbonization efforts, including the electrification of the transportation and building sectors. Statista
• [New] Ontario will share technical information, including from research studies, with industry to support the production and use of low-carbon hydrogen in industrial sectors when and where it makes sense as the best pathway to meeting their decarbonization goals. Ontario.ca
• A UK fleet of Xe-100 reactors would play a crucial role in delivering clean electricity and industrial decarbonization and also bring huge opportunities for companies right across the UK. MarketScreener
• Decarbonization of the U.S. economy will require rapid deployment of clean energy technologies. pv magazine USA
• SAF is a real opportunity for the UK to build an industry and create decent jobs while helping to decarbonise air travel. Travel Weekly
• Power systems around the world are undergoing significant change, driven particularly by the increasing availability of low-cost variable renewable energy (VRE), the deployment of distributed energy resources, advances in digitalization and growing opportunities for electrification. IEA
• The global energy transition will require the decarbonization of key sectors such as transport and greater levels of renewable energy generation. WoodMac.Site.Features.Shared.ViewModels.Metadata.Publis
• Global growth in floor area is more than offsetting the increased efficiency and decarbonization efforts, where the long lifespan of buildings risks locking in vulnerable and high emission infrastructure. IEA
• We believe that working together with ExxonMobil, who is actively promoting investment in carbon capture and storage and hydrogen, will contribute to the transition to a global decarbonized society. HydrogenWire
• JERA will continue to contribute to global decarbonization and solving energy problems by building and expanding low carbon hydrogen and ammonia supply chains in cooperation with leading domestic and overseas companies. HydrogenWire
• The existing duty rates on road fuel gases, which are lower than the equivalent rates on diesel, will continue to 2032, giving the haulage industry greater certainty over future tax rates and supports the decarbonization of the UK transport sector. GOV.UK
• The renewable hydrogen produced will initially be used at Shell's Energy & Chemicals Park in Rotterdam to partially decarbonise the production of fossil fuels and support the industrial use of hydrogen in the heavy transportation industry. Energy Global
• As green hydrogen demand grows, platinum offers investors a way of engaging with assets associated with compulsory global decarbonization, with many companies advancing low-emission initiatives for implementation well ahead of the 2050 global deadline. Mining Weekly
• Southern Co., together with GM and Nel ASA, will demonstrate an integrated hydrogen microgrid for fueling infrastructure, including a stationary fuel cell-based mobile power generator. DBusiness Magazine
• Southern Company, together with GM and Norwegian fuel cell company Nel ASA, will demonstrate an integrated hydrogen microgrid for fueling infrastructure, including a stationary fuel cell-based mobile power generator. Yahoo Finance
• Finance, skills, supply chains and planning times will be key barriers to delivering Labour's target of decarbonising the power sector by 2030. The Telegraph
• Improving the rate of energy technology innovation will be critical to enable the deep decarbonization across sectors required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. IEA
• The 3rd phase of EDF EDF Renewables and Hynamics' Tees green hydrogen programme will see a 200 MW 200 MW electrolyser developed and deployed to feed into a proposed e-methanol plant at Teesport, to help decarbonise the UK's maritime sector. GOV.UK
