HOME / spain allocates 7 million to build 20 new hydrogen refueling stations
According to China's National Energy Administration (NEA), by the end of 2024, the total installed capacity of new energy storage projects in China reached 73.76 million kilowatts, representing an increase of over 130 percent compared to the end of 2023.
The move is part of China's broader push toward a green, low-carbon energy transition as well as high-quality economic and social development. It builds on significant growth in the sector. As of the end of 2024, the country's installed capacity of new-type energy storage had reached 73.76 million kilowatts, according to official data.
BEIJING, Sept. 12 -- China on Friday unveiled an action plan to promote the development of new forms of energy storage between 2025 and 2027, amid efforts to support green energy transition and ensure the stability of new-type power systems.
New energy storage refers to energy-storage technologies other than conventional pump storage. An energy-storage system charges when wind power or photovoltaic power generates a large volume of electricity or when the power consumption is low, and it discharges otherwise. China's operational efficiency of new energy storage continues to improve.
In Spain, the Hydrogen Roadmap approved by the Spanish Government contemplates the implementation of a network with a minimum of 100 hydrogen stations by 2030. Currently there are only six, located in Madrid, Seville, Zaragoza, Huesca, Albacete and Puertollano although, for the time being, they are not for public use.
The census also identifies plans for more than 90 hydrogen refueling stations by 2030, which would allow Spain to comply with the EU's Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) requiring at least 78 public stations along the TEN-T core network.
This hydrogen station has been promoted thanks to the collaboration of leading companies from different sectors, such as Enagás -through the start-up Scale Gas -, Toyota España, Urbaser, Carburos Metálicos, Sumitomo Corporation España and the Spanish Confederation of Service Station Entrepreneurs (CEEES).
Spain's renewable hydrogen industry has reached a pivotal stage of development, with nearly 400 projects now registered across the value chain representing over €33 billion in planned investment, according to the latest data from the Spanish Hydrogen Association (AeH2).
The Government of Tuvalu worked with the e8 group to develop the Tuvalu Solar Power Project, which is a 40 kW grid-connected solar system that is intended to provide about 5% of Funafuti 's peak demand, and 3% of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation's annual household consumption.
In May 2024, Tuvalu completed its first large-scale solar farm and a two-megawatt-hour battery storage system on its main island, Funafuti. Spanning several hectares of land and rooftop and utilizing advanced photovoltaic technology, the project significantly reduces Funafuti's diesel dependency and improves energy reliability.
Due to Tuvalu's limited land area, the solar panels will run along the landing strip at Tuvalu's airport alongside the soccer field. The contract price for the solar PV facility was about $5 million, with the remaining funding provided by IDA.
In response, Tuvalu has prioritized renewable energy as a dual strategy for mitigating emissions and adapting to climate impacts. Solar energy, in particular, is well-suited to Tuvalu's tropical climate, which offers abundant sunlight throughout the year.
