• Revolutionizing the Green Hydrogen Market: City of Lancaster and City of Industry Launch First Public Hydrogen (FPH2)--the First Public Hydrogen Utility

  The City of Lancaster has launched First Public Hydrogen (FPH2), a public renewable hydrogen utility. FPH2 connects hydrogen producers with reliable buyers through a transparent process. It fosters collaboration to drive market growth. This initiative revolutionizes the green hydrogen economy.

• Drax and Pathway Energy Partner to Launch New US SAF Plants

  Drax Group and Pathway Energy LLC have signed a multi-year agreement to supply over one million tons of biomass annually. The biomass will support Pathway's planned sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant on the US Gulf Coast. This partnership advances efforts to decarbonize aviation using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Drax may also invest up to $10 million through a potential convertible loan note.

• Carbfix and Carbonquest Announce a Memorandum of Understanding to Pursue Distributed Carbon Capture and Mineralization Projects in North America

  CarbonQuest and Carbfix have signed an MOU to deploy distributed carbon capture and storage (DCCS) solutions in North America. The partnership targets small- and medium-scale emitters near mineralization-ready sites. It aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency for industrial and manufacturing facilities. CarbonQuest’s modular technology enables CO2 capture in space-constrained settings like mid-rise buildings and CHP facilities.

• HIF Global Begins Installation of the First Direct Air Capture Unit in Chile

  HIF Global announced the arrival of the first Direct Air Capture (DAC) unit in Chile, an innovative technology that allows the extraction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere. The test unit developed by HIF Global, together with Porsche, Volkswagen Group Innovation and MAN Energy Solutions, will be installed in the HIF Haru Oni e-Fuels facility and will be integrated for the first time into the production of synthetic fuels.

• Baker Hughes and the University of California, Berkeley, Establish Global Decarbonization Research Institute

  Baker Hughes and the University of California, Berkeley have announced a new long-term research partnership to establish the Baker Hughes Institute for Decarbonization Materials at UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry. The institute will connect breakthrough academic research with commercial innovation to accelerate the deployment and scaling of cost-effective climate technology solutions that drive sustainable energy development.

• Earthquakes and Blowouts Undermine Case for Carbon Storage in Texas

  Texas is leading efforts to bury carbon dioxide in oilfields to combat climate change. But this could worsen earthquakes and blowouts in the Permian Basin, raising concerns. Watchdog group Commission Shift warns of sinkholes, leaks, and injection-induced quakes without stricter oversight. Public support may falter without better regulation.

• Revolutionizing the Green Hydrogen Market: City of Lancaster and City of Industry Launch First Public Hydrogen (FPH2)--the First Public Hydrogen Utility

  Scientists found an enzyme that absorbs CO2 efficiently, even in extreme heat and alkalinity. This enzyme, from a hot spring, speeds up CO2 capture while enduring harsh conditions. It could revolutionize industrial carbon capture. Researchers at BSRC Fleming in Greece identified this breakthrough molecule.
