Fuel Watch: Biden moves to boost clean energy through economic investment in infrastructure, innovation
One of the goals of US President Biden’s pledge to ‘Build Back Better’ is to create a pollution-free power sector by 2035. The expanded production and use of hydrogen will play a major role towards this end.

Industry Perspective: Decarbonisation and digitalisation: a partnership of equals
Decarbonisation and digitalisation go hand-in-hand as data and technology will be key to advancing and successfully participating in the decarbonised, more complex, and decentralised energy system of the future. But there is still much to be done to bring global energy assets into the digital era.

Energy Outlook: Cutting carbon in power transmission
The transmission and distribution sector also has a role to play in the direct reduction of carbon emissions in the power sector. Hitachi ABB Power Grids recently explained the thinking behind its strategy to use a new gas mixture in its high voltage equipment that it expects will become the industry standard replacement for SF6 in switchgear.

Technology Focus: Spreading microgrid roots
As the world moves towards distributed networks with a high penetration of renewables, a project is underway that is taking inspiration from nature to make microgrids more resilient.
