$1.8B in public capital is powering the largest wave of solar, battery, and gas backup systems for critical infrastructure in the U.S.
Buyers like POSCO are lining up. But demand signals still lag the supply hype.
If even half of this materializes, Australia won't just join the hydrogen trade, itβll help define it.
Australia isnβt just building a hydrogen sector, itβs going straight for commodity scale.
With targets topping 1M tonnes, export corridors tied to ammonia and methanol, and $2B in federal support, this is no pilot push. Itβs a global grab.
China ships solar panels and railways.
The U.S.? Vibes and volatility.
This isnβt just trade. Itβs a contrast in economic identities:
One builds the 21st-century backbone.
The other brands the future.
Yet hereβs the twist: 82% of new clean energy projects are in Republican districts.
Markets may bend. They wonβt break.
Trumpβs vendetta against wind power isnβt just personal β itβs policy.
From blocking offshore permits to gutting $373B in clean energy investment, the real threat isnβt his rhetoric β itβs the legislative muscle behind it.
This isnβt a slowdown. Itβs a chokehold.
Without immediate pushback, the entire solar engine risks grinding to a halt.
Trumpβs not just targeting solar β heβs hitting both ends of the system.
Tariffs raise panel prices by 45%
Tax credit cuts stall demand
Developers pause. Jobs disappear. Fossil fuels win.
Power-to-X, energy islands, advanced grid tools β Denmark is now a living lab for the energy transition.

With 88% of power from renewables and wind covering 60%, the focus has shifted. This isnβt about more turbines. Itβs about smarter systems.
π₯ Geothermal isnβt just trending, itβs scaling.
From Fervo and Googleβs project to $1.7B in public funding last quarter, the momentum is real.
New drilling tech means clean power anywhere. And when Meta, BASF, and SLB start showing up? Itβs not a fringe play anymore.
6/6 βοΈ It suggests the right questions based on my topic,
π― Optimizes the prompt,
π‘ And pulls in credible commercial data from sources like Bloomberg, EIA, IEA, and company filings.
I get deep, domain-specific insights in minutes, not hours.
5.1/6 β
Iβve Now Automated This Workflow with ENKI Energy Intelligence Platform
Instead of manually crafting prompts and stitching outputs, I use Enki to automate the entire opportunity analysis process.
5/6 These three different runs will bring me the most richful data.
π§© Final Prompt β Summarize the Opportunity
βSummarize all opportunities for Fuel Cells in data centers and rail.
Back every claim with commercial signals. No generic summaries.β
4.1/6 π Pull data from Bloomberg, EIA, IEA, filings, press releases, and trade journals
π Highlight real commercial events: JVs, MoUs, pilot projects, launches
π§Ύ Use clear headers, bullet points, and cite sources (e.g., Bloomberg Q2 2025)
4/6 Prompt 3 β Segment Deep Dive
βFor Fuel Cells in data centers:
Who are the emerging players?
What value do fuel cells bring to this segment?
Which customers are willing to pay a premium, and why?β
π Data & Output Format
Ask ChatGPT to:
3/6 Prompt 2 β Commercial Signals
βShow the latest partnerships, JVs, product launches, and investments.
Who are the leading companies?
What do new entrants reveal about shifting demand?
What new segments are emerging?
Which regions will benefit most? (Cite EIA, IEA, Bloomberg.)β
2.2/6 No fluff, only actionable insights.β
π Step 2: Run Key Prompts
Prompt 1 β Market Drivers
βFor Fuel Cells, what are the market drivers? Include TAM growth, CAGR, and analyst perspectives.β
2.1/6 So hereβs the exact workflow I use to uncover in-depth opportunities. Letβs say weβre exploring Fuel Cells.
π§ Step 1: Set the Right Persona
βYou are a Bloomberg-style clean tech analyst. Your job is to uncover high-value commercial opportunities backed by real data.
2/6 You need to:
π§ Understand market drivers
π€ Map the partnerships ecosystem
π± Spot emerging applications early
But doing this with LLMs like ChatGPT means running multiple prompts, stitching together insights, and hoping the output isnβt too generic.
1/6 Most people use ChatGPT wrong. Here's the workflow I built to spot high-value market opportunities.
When I talk to product and strategy managers in clean tech, one challenge comes up over and over again:
π How do we identify new market opportunities for our technologyβfast and with confidence?
This isnβt just about access. Itβs about ownership.
The future? Networked microgrids. Local resilience. Real economic roots.
The Caribbean might just be outpacing the mainland.
π What if losing the grid didnβt mean losing power?
Puerto Rico is quietly leading a shift in energy thinking. From microgrids in Adjuntas to Enel and Eatonβs 5 MW solar+storage system, the island is showing what happens when communities, corporates, and policy work together.
The bigger signal?
Hydrogen hubs like Rotterdam are becoming the only models that get financed.
23,000 tonnes of Hβ annually for TotalEnergies
Plugged into Europeβs largest hydrogen cluster
This isnβt just another project. Itβs proof that scaling green hydrogen works β but only when offtakers, policy, and capital move together.
π₯ Another 200 MW green hydrogen project hits FID , this time itβs Air Liquide in Rotterdam.
What makes ELYgator stand out?
β¬500M in Dutch subsidy support
Combined PEM and alkaline electrolyzers
Winners now? Australia. The EU. Markets that donβt rewrite the rules mid-game.
Next wave? Smaller, leaner, offtake-backed projects. Less flash. More staying power.
We're tracking the fallout with EnkiAI β because one vote can shift the global energy map.
Fortescueβs retreat should raise eyebrows.
This isnβt a theoretical policy risk. Itβs $150 million, gone.
Two U.S. hydrogen projects collapsed after FID. Why? Subsidies vanished. Just like that.
The message is clear: ambition isnβt enough. Certainty matters.
Floating wind. First Nations partnerships. Green hydrogen links. This isnβt just a project. Itβs a national-scale prototype.
We're tracking it through EnkiAI. Because this level of ambition needs real-time visibility.
