UK, Ireland and Italy already further ahead According to the Solar Package I, from June 2025 it should be possible to switch the operating mode every two months, and from June 2026 to charge the storage system both from
Hybrid solar systems —combining solar photovoltaic (PV) with battery energy storage or wind power— present a clear opportunity to do just that. By integrating complementary technologies
HYBRIT has extended the pilot project for storage of fossil-free hydrogen until 2026 to be able to carry out additional tests to improve the conditions for enabling the design of
The HYBRIT (Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology) Demonstration project aims to revolutionize the European iron and steel industry, by replacing fossil-based technologies with
Here are the top renewable energy trends to watch in 2026. 1. Energy Storage Breakthroughs One of the biggest bottlenecks in renewable adoption is storage. In 2026, we''ll see: Wider deployment of next-gen lithium
The Swedish Thermal Battery Energy Storage Tender launched in Q1 2025 represents Europe''s largest commitment to non-electrochemical storage tech. With 47% of Sweden''s district
The new project located in Grevekulla, Ydre municipality, will see construction of a solar park adjacent to the existing wind park, with work scheduled to begin in three weeks. By co-locating wind and solar power, the
Success for project proposals combining solar PV with battery storage in Germany''s latest multiple technology tenders for renewable energy are proof of the importance of energy storage.
In southern Sweden, Vattenfall, a state-owned energy company, is building two battery storage systems that will be an efficient combination of wind power and batteries. The two battery storage facilities are expected to be
HYBRIT has extended the pilot project for storage of fossil-free hydrogen until 2026 to be able to carry out additional tests to improve the conditions for enabling the design of commercial hydrogen storage.
The pilot project for storing fossil-free hydrogen in Svartöberget in Luleå, Sweden, continues until 2026. The HYBRIT project has been allocated funds by the EU''s Innovation Fund and by Industriklivet.
The HYBRIT technology will enable SSAB to reduce Sweden''s and Finland''s carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent and 7 percent respectively. The Swedish Energy Agency has co-financed 22 percent of the hydrogen
HYBRIT''s pilot project for hydrogen gas storage has now been completed and reported to the Swedish Energy Agency. The results show that it is technically possible to store fossil-free hydrogen gas for producing fossil-free
The hybrid park is expected to be fully operational during 2026. In addition to contributing to Sweden''s renewable energy supply and supporting long-term energy security, the project will also generate local value through the
By using the project’s underground storage facility, the partners were able to deliver hydrogen in a steady flow to SSAB, while also cutting costs by 25-40%, Hybrit reported.
Technological development will take place in close partnership with the holding companies. The investment of approximately SEK 250 million in the pilot facility for hydrogen storage also includes two years of operation and a testing program.
Green hydrogen production is set to be governed by strict rules in the EU, that will mandate the use of monthly matching of electrolyser and power production if using grid power, and the use of “additional” electricity capacity less than three years old.
The steel industry today accounts for 7 percent of total global carbon dioxide emissions. Fossil-free iron and steel production using HYBRIT technology, corresponding to SSAB’s current production level, will require approximately 15 TWh per year.
The cost of green hydrogen production can be slashed by up to 40% by installing H 2 storage on-site, a commercial power procurement test by Swedish green steel consortium Hybrit (Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology) has found.
Hydrogen gas production costs are optimized by producing and storing surplus hydrogen gas when electricity prices are low, and reducing production and using the stored hydrogen gas when prices are high. “Hydrogen is an important part of LKAB's future strategy and journey towards carbon dioxide-free products and processes.
