Amogy and A*STAR signed an MOU to collaborate on developing and piloting ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island to support Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and National Hydrogen Strategy. The partnership will focus on demonstrations, joint R&D on ammonia-cracking catalysts, digital tools and workforce training to validate ammonia technologies for data centre and heavy-industry decarbonisation.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed RidgeAlloy, an aluminum alloy produced from remelted post-consumer auto body scrap, and demonstrated a full-scale structural automotive part using recycled ingots supplied by PSW Group’s Trialco Aluminum and cast by Falcon Lakeside Manufacturing. The alloy meets strength, ductility and crashworthiness standards, could cut processing energy by up to 95%, and may enable recycled structural castings to replace at least half of U.S. primary aluminum production by the early 2030s.

A consortium led by Northern Gas Networks with BGS, Centrica Energy Storage, Third Energy Onshore and the University of Edinburgh received Ofgem SIF ‘Discovery’ funding to study geological hydrogen storage potential in the Knapton area, North Yorkshire. The feasibility study will assess depleted reservoirs, aquifers, salt deposits and lined rock shafts to support seasonal hydrogen storage and decarbonisation of nearby gas-fired peaking plants.
