California’s ARCHES hydrogen hub and others in blue states face potential DOE funding cuts despite their high-scoring proposals. Critics say the move is political, putting years of clean hydrogen planning at risk while sparing similar projects in red states. The uncertainty threatens U.S. momentum in clean energy and hydrogen innovation.

A group of tech companies led by Frontier is investing $32 million in a Norwegian project that captures carbon emissions from waste incineration. The initiative, part of the Northern Lights project, stores CO₂ under the North Sea and generates both removal and avoidance carbon credits. Experts say the model could scale across Europe, potentially removing 400 million tons of CO₂ by 2050.
GEP has expanded its partnership with CDP to enhance its GEP GREEN platform, giving clients deeper emissions tracking and supplier sustainability insights. The integration helps companies manage Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, streamline compliance, and make data-driven sourcing decisions. This move supports broader decarbonization efforts and strengthens sustainable supply chain strategies.
Helin Cox has been appointed CTO of Climeworks to advance its Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. She’ll lead a 150-person team to scale up carbon removal innovations and deploy the company’s most efficient DAC plant yet. Her experience in scaling climate tech is expected to accelerate Climeworks’ mission to cut atmospheric CO₂.
Argus has launched the EU Low-carbon Ammonia Benchmark (EULAB) to track the cost of delivering blue ammonia to key European ports. The index supports growing demand for low-carbon fuels ahead of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism rollout in 2026. It also highlights the U.S. Gulf Coast's role as a future hub for blue ammonia exports.
Conagra Brands is partnering with Bloom Energy to install fuel cell technology at two Ohio facilities, aiming to cut emissions and boost energy reliability. The project will supply up to 75% of the sites' electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 19%. It supports Conagra’s 2030 science-based climate goals and ongoing sustainability investments.
Haffner Energy raised nearly €7 million through a capital increase to support its growth and hydrogen-focused initiatives. The funds will help expand operations at its Marolles site and advance projects involving hydrogen, biochar, and renewable fuel technologies. The company also aims to reach breakeven EBITDA by March 2026 and boost its role in the global energy transition.
NeuVentus has secured permits to develop 12 salt caverns at its TRU Hub in Texas for storing natural gas, hydrogen, and natural gas liquids. The project will support growing energy demands across LNG, power, and industrial sectors. With capacity for up to 100,000 metric tons of hydrogen, it positions the TRU Hub as a flexible, high-turn energy storage solution.
McDermott has signed a multi-year Enterprise Framework Agreement with Shell to provide engineering, procurement, and project management services.
