Hydrogen and offshore wind advance as a strategic combination for decarbonization
The integration of offshore wind energy and low-carbon hydrogen production is emerging as one of the most promising technological pathways for the deep decarbonization of energy and industrial systems. A technical study evaluating various electrolysis technologies, production configurations, and regional conditions indicates that, in favorable maritime areas, the levelized cost of hydrogen produced from offshore wind could reach approximately US$ 1.50 per kilogram by 2030, wh

Two USP research projects advance clean hydrogen production and expand the frontiers of the energy transition
Two studies conducted by scientists at the São Carlos Institute of Physics at the University of São Paulo (IFSC/USP) point to complementary pathways for increasing the efficiency of hydrogen production using solar energy. Although they employ distinct catalytic architectures, the studies share the use of magnetron sputtering—a deposition technique capable of controlling materials at the nanoscale that already has established industrial applications. The results reinforce the

European Parliament proposes historic carbon market reform to boost competitiveness and accelerate decarbonization
The European Union has launched one of the most far-reaching overhauls of its climate policy by presenting a proposal to modernize the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the bloc's primary economic instrument for carbon pricing. The reform aims to align the mechanism with Europe's new climate target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040, while simultaneously seeking to preserve industrial competitiveness, enhance energy security, and reduce market volatil
