Early September, Paul van Son and I were invited to attend and speak at the 2025 Global Energy Interconnection Conference held in Beijing, organized by GEIDCO, the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization.

Endua is a Brisbane-based company focused on developing innovative, hydrogen-powered energy storage solutions. Their mission is to provide clean, reliable, and long-term energy storage, targeting remote industries such as mining, remote communities, and other off-grid energy users. The company aims to address one of the key challenges in renewable energy: ensuring consistent power availability, even when sources like solar and wind aren’t generating energy.

The recent work in the framework of our joint study (together with our Lead Partner innio) on Data Centers, the new super offtakers, revealed a key factor of why the middle east is also fast becoming a global front runner for data centers: speed

SEFE proudly took centre stage at the “Investing in Hydrogen” global summit in London in September, where our CSO Hamead Ahrary represented the company on a panel about the future of hydrogen and the energy transition.

We’re excited to share the latest episode of The Hydrogen Leader Podcast, featuring our very own CEO, Cornelius Matthes. The Hydrogen Leader podcast channel dives deep into the potential of green hydrogen, offering powerful discussions on leadership strategies, career, and fuel cell technology.

Hydrogen is currently being discussed a lot in many places – on TV and radio, in newspapers, on the Internet, on social media, and at events. It is also a hot topic in Bremerhaven, Germany, where this energy carrier is literally providing a tailwind on the path to climate-neutral mobility.

Energy storage is emerging as a cornerstone in the global transition to net zero, particularly in regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) where renewable energy potential is vast.

The energy sector employs close to 70 million people, accounts for around 8-10% of global GDP and is one of the largest sectors overall. The urgent need to reduce emissions due to accelerating climate chaos is therefore impactful from a monetary and fiscal perspective. Investments need to be made in new infrastructure to produce green electrons and molecules, store them, and transport them from competitive locations to demand centres.

In the last newsletter, I emphasized that Dii is inherently optimistic about a ‘clean energy future’ in MENA and the world. However, much work remains to be done to make ‘clean,’ particularly ‘net zero,’ a reality. The good news is that the transformation implies virtually unlimited business opportunities for our industry group and the markets in general.
