Lummus, a global leader in process technologies, has added over 40 new technologies to its portfolio in the last five years, many of them focused specifically on energy transition and decarbonization. Jose emphasized that reaching net-zero won’t come from a single solution, but rather from an integrated mix of approaches such as:
The energy transition brought us a unique opportunity to be creative—to innovate. Technology development will be crucial to meeting the challenges ahead.

He also highlighted hydrogen as a key component of the transition evolving from grey, to blue, and ultimately green with the importance of international cooperation to ensure global alignment and progress.
The European Union’s renewable energy transition reached a historic milestone in 2025, driven by an unprecedented expansion of solar power and a massive spike in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. According to the latest quarterly market reports, the bloc is successfully stabilizing its energy markets while rapidly accelerating its green infrastructure.
A joint geothermal initiative in Vienna’s Aspern district has surpassed initial performance projections, paving the way for a massive expansion of sustainable district heating in the Austrian capital. Spearheaded by local utility Wien Energie and energy firm OMV, recent test drilling indicates the city's underground resources are hotter and more abundant than previously thought.
French energy group ENGIE has announced the development of its first hybrid energy project in Europe, co-locating wind energy generation with battery energy storage systems (BESS). The facility is being built in Băleni, Galați County, located in southeastern Romania.
The storage asset is being installed directly within ENGIE’s operational 50 MW Băleni wind farm, which has been active since 2013. The grid-connected battery will feature a power capacity of 5 MW and a storage capacity of 10 MWh, allowing it to deliver maximum electricity output to the grid for a continuous two-hour window. The unit is scheduled to be fully commissioned by the end of this year.
