The Hydrogen Stream: Pilot project in Iceland shows geothermal-driven H2 could achieve LCOH of $1.75/kg
Syntholene’s geothermal-integrated SOEC hydrogen platform could produce hydrogen at an estimated $1.75–$2.10/kg, about one-third the cost of comparable unsubsidized green hydrogen in Europe. Its Iceland demonstration facility aims to validate low-emission hydrogen production and support future commercial-scale deployment, while addressing risks such as electricity costs, electrolyzer durability, and capital expenses.

Strengthening El Niño to reshape global irradiance for the second half of 2026
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, forecasts that the second half of 2026 will bring above-normal irradiance across much of Europe, Southeast Asia, northern South America and eastern Australia, with the strongest model agreement in Southeast Asia and the greatest uncertainty in North America. Combined with first-half observations, the outlook suggests Europe will finish well above average overall, while regional contrasts persist in the Americas, Australia and Asia.
