X-Energy is rapidly establishing itself as a pioneer in advanced nuclear energy, with the Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled reactor at the forefront of its small modular reactor (SMR) offering.
As the global energy transition accelerates, X-Energy’s innovative Xe-100 small modular reactor is attracting billion-dollar investment and reshaping how industry thinks about clean, dispatchable power.
Just a few years ago, there was a sense that transformational shifts were underway in the US power sector.
As artificial intelligence and electrification rewrite the US’s energy future, Siemens Energy is seizing the moment – investing US$1bn, creating 1,500 jobs and helping to build the grid of tomorrow.
The removal of Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela’s presidential chair in January 2026 has quickly brought the South American country back to the centre of international oil and gas discussions.
Following political shifts in early 2026, Venezuela’s vast oil and gas reserves are drawing renewed international interest. Regulatory reforms and foreign investments aim to revitalise the country’s struggling infrastructure and unlock its offshore gas potential.
As Africa accelerates its energy transition, success requires combining technological innovation, local expertise and resilient business models.
Africa’s energy deficit is growing. Closing the gap demands developers who understand local markets, can structure complex finance and have the patience to build for the long term.
I’ve spent more than two decades in hydrogen – as a development engineer working on fuel cells at GM, as head of the transport and infrastructure division at NOW GmbH in Berlin, as Director of Mark
Europe’s electrolyser industry scaled tenfold in five years and kept its promise. The policy system has not. With projects cancelled, capital stalled and China accelerating, the continent’s green hydrogen lead is far more fragile than the targets suggest.
UK energy policy has long emphasised security and resilience.
Energy security and resilience matter – but without sovereignty, they are built on sand. Britain must establish domestic control as the foundation of its entire energy strategy.
Every rocket needs a launchpad. In the energy sector, that launchpad is policy stability – and without it, even the most ambitious projects risk never reaching the heights they promised.
Exploring the link between a consistent policy environment and energy sector growth prospects.
Business travel is an expensive necessity, demanding a clear return on investment.
From Malaysia to China to Japan, four lessons from Asia that the UK energy industry cannot afford to ignore.
