Offshore wind power will be a key solution for Europe’s ability to reach its climate targets, and the best and latest research and innovation in the field are being showcased at the EERA DeepWind conference.
Hydrogen has an essential role to play to meet the climate change imperative of carbon neutrality, a World Hydrogen Leaders panel highlighted week. German, French, British, Norwegian and Swiss energy representatives taking part in the World Hydrogen Leaders discussion on the regulatory landscape of hydrogen in the gas grids emphasised the need for speed and flexibility, slightly ahead of two more Australian companies announcing that the use of green hydrogen is being prioritised in the research and development of decarbonised steelmaking.

Doha: The College of Law at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) recently marked the launch of a newly published book Local Content and Sustainable Development in Global Energy Markets, which was edited by Dr. Damilola S. Olawuyi, associate professor at HBKU’s College of Law.
Dr. Olawuyi chaired a webinar with several of the book’s contributing authors to discuss the design and implementation of local content requirements (LCRs) in global energy markets, with a focus on a sustainable and rights-based approach. While LCRs are aimed at boosting domestic value creation and economic growth, the presentations made it clear that inappropriately designed LCRs could produce a host of negative outcomes.
