A pioneering project in the Dutch city of Bolsward seeks to utilize the residual warmth from the extinct Zuidwal volcano, lying deep beneath the Wadden Sea, to provide sustainable energy to local homes. Spearheaded by Stichting Ontwikkeling Geothermie Friesland (Stogef), a community initiative, the plan aims to reduce reliance on wind turbines and tap into geothermal energy for a more reliable and constant power source. With the Netherlands possessing extensive subsurface data from its history as a major gas extractor, researchers have discovered a layer of porous stone with temperatures reaching approximately 90°C, making geothermal energy an attractive option.

SunHydrogen company is developing a technology to convert solar power and water into hydrogen. SunHydrogen's technology uses a process called photoelectrocatalytic water splitting. This process uses sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can then be used as fuel or stored for later use.
The steel industry is one of the most carbon-intensive industries in the world, and it accounts for around 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, the industry is taking steps to reduce its emissions, and there is growing momentum towards the adoption of low-carbon steelmaking technologies.
The Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy, R. K. Singh, has said that round-the-clock availability of renewable energy is necessary for achieving net zero carbon emissions since the cost of storage is huge.
