This move highlights the ongoing struggle for European solar manufacturing to scale against global competition. In other industrial shifts, a joint venture between Schroders Capital and Carlton Venture is investing 55 million pounds to transition a Kimberly-Clark tissue factory to green hydrogen. Meanwhile, Triple Bio is developing feed additives to curb methane emissions in livestock.
