A new EU-funded project will support Europe’s energy transition by creating more resilient, decarbonised energy systems by advancing hydrogen electrolysers.

Europe’s largest project for zero-emission, hydrogen-based heavy-duty transport is strengthening its collaboration to deploy 125 hydrogen-powered trucks across six European countries. The first trucks are expected to be in operational use in 2026.

To gain more knowledge about how ultra-processed food affects us, we need new research methods, claim researchers. Now they are looking to better understand our intestinal flora.

“That’s the dream,” says researcher Hanne Dalsvåg. If the researchers succeed, in the future you might be able to buy vegetables wrapped in packaging made from waste carrot or potato residues.

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.

Metals from Norway are often praised for their low carbon footprint. But right now, it matters even more that they are produced in a European democracy.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease often have to wait a long time to find the right medicine. But the methods of a large interdisciplinary research team offer hope.

If a worn propeller requires repair, the CO₂ footprint will be a full 40 percent lower if the job is done in Norway than if the repair is done in China, the researchers write in this article.

As countries race to scale up low-emission hydrogen, key challenges – such as high costs, infrastructure gaps, and policy barriers – need to be addressed to build robust and sustainable hydrogen supply chains. Insights from pioneers like Japan and...
