Luxembourg's TerraSpark, with €5.4 million in funding, plans to conduct its first space-to-earth power transmission in 2028 using radio frequency-based wireless energy transmission. The company, led by former ESA Solaris program lead Sanjay Vijendran, aims to commercialize this technology by building scalable and reliable systems. TerraSpark will join Germany's Dcubed in 2027 to showcase in-space power generation and transmission capabilities, with a focus on advancing climate solutions through innovative energy technologies.

Agrivoltaic Movement Pivots To Green Hydrogen
The global agrivoltaic industry is evolving to include green hydrogen production, providing farmers with a new off-grid fuel and energy storage option. Researchers are studying the profitability and sustainability of integrating green hydrogen production with agrivoltaics, focusing on supporting food systems and producing green hydrogen for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) charging stations. Co-locating agrivoltaics with water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen is seen as a means of decarbonization and energy independence, with projects like ECHO-WAVE in Luxembourg and federal support for green hydrogen in the US. The Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor has emerged to supply green hydrogen for industrial centers in Europe, with the EU Innovation Fund supporting projects combining agrivoltaic systems with wind turbines. More activity in this area is expected, leveraging infrastructure and resources in low-demand regions to meet the strong demand for hydrogen and renewable energy solutions in the face of climate change and the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
