Neom, which will be built along Saudi Arabia's borders with Jordan and just across the narrow Strait of Aqaba from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, is a linchpin of the world's largest oil exporter's plans to diversify its fossil fuels-dominated economy.

The Philippine Department of Energy has initiated a tender for 2,000 MW of renewable capacity, including 1,260 MW of solar, 380 MW of wind, 230 MW of biomass and 130 MW of hydro.

The auction for large renewable projects (>1 MW), with 3,897 MW of capacity available, attracted 108 bids totalling 1,352 MW and only 84 bids totalling 1,093 MW were admitted (28% of the available capacity).

Argentina is expected to sign a five-year US$35bn infrastructure programme with China.

H2biscus will convert hydropower and natural gas into green hydrogen/methanol and blue hydrogen, and also convert hydrogen to ammonia, with an aim to supply the hydrogen and ammonia to Sarawak and South Korea.

The Santiago project would comprise eight power generation units, with 304.10 MW Francis-type turbines and would require US$3bn of private investments for a total budget of US$6.7bn.

Brazil's electricity demand increased by 4.1% in 2021 to an average of 64.7 GW, according to Cámara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica (CCEE).

The exchange between the public and private sector industry experts in Canada and the UAE provided an unprecedented opportunity to discuss the recent developments, challenges, and opportunities in hydrogen and decarbonisation in Canada, the UAE, and wider MENA region, and to forge future partnerships.

Engie plans to create a green hydrogen hub in the UAE and potentially other regions in a deal worth $5 billion, with the first 200 MW green hydrogen and ammonia project being developed in Abu Dhabi.

Canada’s current energy and economic profile presents both challenges and opportunities in achieving these targets given its profile as a major producer, consumer and exporter of energy, and its northern climate.

"Россия привержена климатической повестке и мировой декарбонизации. При этом надо учитывать, что глобальное потребление энергии растёт, в ближайшие 15–20 лет оно увеличится ещё на 30%. Поэтому в первую очередь нужно учитывать вопросы энергобезопасности", – подчеркнул вице-премьер.

Hydrogen, until now the missing piece of the clean energy puzzle, is likely to further disrupt energy value chains in coming years.

ENA called on the UK government to increase its hydrogen production capacity target to 10 GW by 2030, up from the current target of 5 GW by that date, to ensure sufficient supply is available, and encourage domestic production.
