New Innovation can Lower CAPEX by 10%, Improve Efficiency by 10%, and will Power the Largest Hydrogen Projects in the World Perth, 13 May, 2025 – InterContinental Energy, a global leader in giga-scale green hydrogen development, announces its patented P2(H2)Node™ system. Designed in Australia after four years of intense innovation and engineering, this game-changing solution cuts costs, boosts efficiency, and allows for the scaling of giga-scale green hydrogen production. Just as standardised shipping containers revolutionised the global shipping industry, the P2(H2)Node standardised architecture will streamline the green hydrogen industry by replacing bespoke projects with a uniform approach. Removing complexity and increasing repeatability will ensure all projects can access the lowest cost of production. Conventional centralised models require expensive electricity transmission, leading to energy losses and inefficiencies. The patented P2(H2)Node system flips this model by collocating giga-scale hydrogen production with wind and solar farms, ensuring power is used where it’s generated. This system lowers production costs by 10-20%, which will enable faster large-scale hydrogen adoption for industries such as green iron, fertilizers, power, shipping and aviation fuels.Rethinking Hydrogen Production to radically lower costs Key advantages of the P2(H2)Node architecture include: Powering the World’s Biggest Hydrogen Project The P2(H2)Node architecture is the backbone of Australia’s groundbreaking Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH). Designed to produce and export green hydrogen and ammonia, WGEH boasts a planned 70GW renewable energy capacity – positioning it as the world’s largest and most cost-efficient green hydrogen hub. With the support of newly announced Australian Government hydrogen incentives, WGEH is projected to drive down production costs for green ammonia below US$650 per tonne, unlocking transformative investment opportunities and job creation. Accelerating the Global Hydrogen Economy With demand for green hydrogen set to surge, the P2(H2)Node system offers a global, scalable, cost-efficient model for providing green molecules to the hard to de-carbonise heavy industry andtransport sectors. “We are proud that our team in Perth has developed this globally significant technology. The P2(H2)Node architecture is a breakthrough in clean hydrogen production. By eliminating transmission losses and leveraging a modular approach, we are making green hydrogen cost-competitive at scale for the planet” said Alexander Tancock, CEO at InterContinental Energy. “This technology comes at a time when Australia is poised to become a global leader in e-fuels and green iron.” InterContinental Energy is working with global partners to deploy the P2(H2)Node architecture and fast-track industrial decarbonisation. As the hydrogen market grows, this solution is set to drive efficiency, scale, and cost reductions worldwide.

Cummins Arabia and Cummins Middle East jointly launched Cummins’ new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at an exclusive event held in Dubai on Monday, April 14. The launch was attended by key customers, consultants, and partners from across diverse sectors including rental, data centers, utilities, commercial properties, healthcare, oil and gas, and manufacturing.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a critical technology in the global energy transition towards achieving net-zero emissions. It plays a pivotal role in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes and power generation, preventing them from entering the atmosphere.

Albert Einstein said that three forces rule the universe: fear, greed and stupidity. Observing the growing disconnect between people and their leaders, we see those forces at work. Most people in the world are really concerned about climate change, and that concern is growing.

As we continue our journey toward a climate-neutral, lowest-cost, and secure energy system in MENA, it is a pleasure to reflect on the tremendous progress being made by Dii’s industry network (now over 120 international companies). While we have faced numerous setbacks since our inception in 2009, I think our wonderful team, collective resilience and innovation power inspire continued optimism for the future.

Driven by recent geopolitical developments, the German parliament on 19th March probably had the most important vote since German reunification, also in an unprecedented step before the newly elected parliament will be convened (as two extremist parties will have a one third blocking minority).

I have spent my entire professional career on renewable energy and related things we now call energy transition, but I always had the nagging feeling that I never really understood energy storage.

During this meeting, five national and international investors were selected to carry out six projects across the three southern regions of the Kingdom, with a total investment of 319 billion dirhams, in preparation for negotiations with the selected parties.

The Bondoukou Solar PV power plant will generate 85 GWh of clean energy, powering approximately 358,000 households, and will offset more than 52,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

AMEA Power, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies, has signed Capacity Purchase Agreements (CPAs) with the Egyptian government to develop the first standalone battery energy storage stations in the country.
