Two years into the generative AI revolution, the mismatch between data center power requirements and supply has reached a critical point. This has led to growing interest in thermal energy options as evolving federal policy reshapes the energy sector. Momentum continues for the nuclear industry, gas turbine orders are at their highest levels in nearly 25 years and coal unit retirement plans are being delayed.

In the last five years, green hydrogen has moved from a niche idea to a cornerstone of the European Union’s vision for decarbonisation. Although still in its early stages, this energy carrier — produced through electrolysis powered by renewable electricity — is shaping up as a critical tool for reducing carbon emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry, long-distance transport and chemical manufacturing.
