Loan guarantee from Loan Program Office for Advanced Clean Energy Storage
USD 504.4 million for the ACES project in Utah. The project will combine a 220-MW electrolyzer with two 4.5 million barrel salt caverns to store hydrogen and use it as fuel for the Intermountain Power Agency (IPA) renewed project which will use CCGTs able to fire 100% hydrogen by 2045

Austria can build on its strong energy ambitions through targeted reforms and faster delivery
…is entering the next phase of its energy transition with some notable strengths. It already has a higher share of renewables in its electricity mix than any other country in the European Union – supported by a large hydropower fleet that accounts for around 60% of electricity generation and significant pumped hydro storage capacity. Austria is also a leader in developing an integrated plan for electricity, gas, hydrogen and storage infrastructure.The IEA report finds that Austria’s efforts to bolster energy security and reduce emissions reinforce one another. The review also highlights the major shift in Austria’s energy security…

CAFE III CO2 standards for light-duty vehicles from 2027 to 2032 phase III
As of April 2025, the Indian Government is currently drafting new CO2 emissions standards for cars, CAFE III (2027-2032) which have proposed WLTP CO2 emission targets of 91.7 g/km. This standard will be implemented with a super-credit mechanism making it easier for OEMs to reach compliance through electric car sales rather than through conventional ones.

Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy
…s industry energy supply (bringing the use of low-carbon energy sources to around 40% of total energy consumption).To kickstart the process, £171 million from the Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge has been allocated to nine green tech projects in Scotland, South Wales and the North West, the Humber, and Teesside, England, to conduct engineering and design studies for the rollout of decarbonisation infrastructure like carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen.£932 million has been allocated to 429 projects across England to cut carbon emissions from public facilities such as hospitals, schools, and municipal offices. Low-carbon heating systems…

Innovative Renewable Energy Research Program
…sustainable supply of energy and water in the future by providing innovative renewable energy and/or clean combustion solutions. The program includes studies to identify the optimum RE technologies to be installed, technologies to be tested and modified to fit loacal conditions, and conducting R & D producing novel systems to address particular future needs of Kuwait. The particular focus technologies are: solar photovoltaic; Concentrating Solar Power (solar thermal power generation); solar cooling; wind power; fuel cells, including hydrogen storage technologies and clean combustion technologies. The steps taken in this program are expected to enable commercialization of developed prototype systems.

Baden-Württemberg Hydrogen Roadmap
The Hydrogen Roadmap, adopted by the state government in December 2020, aims to position the region as a leading hub for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry, with a focus on producing components and subsystems for both national and international markets. It outlines specific objectives and measures across production, infrastructure, and application areas, each with defined timelines. A Progress Report evaluating advancements and updates was released in 2024.
