The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), today announced up to $47 million in funding to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of affordable clean hydrogen technologies.

National Energy Plan of Türkiye has been announced and published last week by the Ministy of Energy and Natural Resources. The plan which is prepared based on 2053 Net Zero Emission target covers the period of 2020-2035.

China’s power consumption will increase by around 6% in 2023 (after an estimated 3.6% increase in 2022) and that the country will instal around 250 GW of new capacity during the year.

According to the latest issue of FERC's monthly "Energy Infrastructure Update" (with data through November 30, 2022), "high probability" additions by solar to U.S. generating capacity between December 2022 and November 2025 will total 72,809 megawatts (MW).

China’s National Energy administration (NEA) has announced that the country’s installed capacity increased by nearly 8% 2022.

The ARC-100 has also been selected for a demonstration project at NB Power's existing Point Lepreau nuclear power plant site as part of a joint strategic plan for SMR deployment set out earlier this year by the provincial governments of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Alberta Canada’s SMR Roadmap.

“The UAE could be a key player and deliver 25 percent of the production of the global low-carbon hydrogen market by 2030,” the report reads.

Under this strategy, India plans to expand its green hydrogen production, increase electrolyser manufacturing capacity, and increase its nuclear capacity three-fold by 2032 (6.8 GW at the end of 2021).

Hydrogen would be a key part of the future energy mix, with Saudi ambitions to produce 4 million mt/year of "clean" hydrogen by 2030.

Most of the hydrogen currently produced in the US is made through steam-methane reforming whereby methane reacts with high-temperature steam to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.

The AMAN project, located in the Dakhlet Nouadhibou and Inchiri regions of Mauritania, will include 18GW of wind capacity and 12GW of solar capacity.

The European Commission has approved state aid worth €5.2bn for a second wave of hydrogen related Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI), helping to reduce dependence on natural gas and accelerate the hydrogen economy.

Renewable generation sources include conventional hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. In the United States, most renewable electricity generation comes from hydropower, solar, and wind.

Canada is already a global leader in blue hydrogen production, or that produced using natural gas feedstocks paired with carbon capture.

U.S. electricity generation from renewable sources, such as hydropower, wind, and solar, accounted for 20% of electricity generation both in 2020 and in 2021.
