French firm teams up with JetZero on hydrogen-powered flight

An H2 logo is pictured at the Hyvolution exhibition in Paris, France, January 28, 2025. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File Photo PARIS (Reuters) -A French technology startup unveiled plans on Wednesday to work with clean-aircraft venture JetZero to explore a potential hydrogen-powered variant of its futuristic all-wing design. The move by SHZ Advanced Technologies is likely to rekindle a debate over the potential for zero-emission flight, six months after Europe's Airbus put the brakes on plans to develop the world's first hydrogen-powered airliner. California-based JetZero aims to challenge the traditional duopoly of Airbus and Boeing by developing a so-called blended wing-body aircraft, which it claims will be able to cut fuel consumption - and therefore carbon emissions - in half. JetZero and SHZ now plan to work together under a NASA research programme to design systems capable of storing and distributing liquid hydrogen fuel, which could eliminate carbon emissions altogether and evolve into a variant of JetZero's Z4. Hydrogen is prized for its carbon-free emissions and high energy related to mass, which makes it lighter than normal fuel. However, it also takes up much more volume and must be cooled to -253 degrees Celsius, making storage a significant challenge. JetZero's blended wing-body design features a V-shaped fuselage that acts as a wing and reduces friction in the air, rather than the familiar wings and cylindrical fuselage. "Due to the wider fuselage, the airframe is far more compatible with (liquid hydrogen) fuel tanks without sacrificing passenger seating, as a 'tube and wing' airplane would," SHZ Advanced Technologies said on Wednesday. Airbus said in February it was slowing down efforts to produce a hydrogen-powered regional plane and dropped a target date of 2035, blaming a lack of supporting infrastructure. Boeing, by contrast, has been cool on the commercial viability of hydrogen flight altogether. The concept of a blended wing-body design has been around since the 1940s and led to the U.S. B-2 bomber, as well as the X-48 research project between Boeing and NASA some 18 years ago. JetZero is revisiting such designs as the aviation industry struggles to meet a target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Airbus has argued that combining such radical changes to the shape of a plane with an entirely new propulsion system would be too ambitious, and is focusing instead on hydrogen-based fuel cells inside a normal tubular aircraft configuration. But SHZ Advanced Technologies' co-founder Eric Schulz - a former senior executive at Rolls-Royce and Airbus - said JetZero would approach the task in two phases with the initial focus on a conventionally powered all-wing plane. Any hydrogen-based variant would come in a second step, he told Reuters. The French firm says it has developed hydrogen tanks that save space by avoiding the usual cylindrical shape needed for pressurised vessels and can fit more easily into the flowing contours of the Z4's fuselage. JetZero, whose backers include United Airlines, said in June it was on track to fly a full-scale prototype of the revolutionary 250-passenger airplane in 2027.

Porsche-backed Group14 closes new funding, takes control of JV's battery material plant

An electric vehicle charging location is shown from the view of a drone in Carlsbad, California, U.S., May 14, 2025. REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo (Reuters) -Group14 Technologies said on Wednesday it had raised $463 million in its latest financing round led by South Korean investment firm SK, as the silicon-based battery material startup aims to scale up production. The startup said it also acquired the remaining 75% stake in its joint venture with SK, gaining full ownership of manufacturing operations for its silicon battery material in South Korea. The Woodinville, Washington-based company makes silicon-carbon composite material or SCC55, which can replace graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries, enabling them to charge more quickly and hold more energy. Demand for electric vehicles and advanced technologies has driven steady investor interest in the battery materials sector, with multiple companies competing to attract funding. Venture capital firms are also increasingly targeting alternative battery materials companies, which have the potential to reduce the cost and size of battery packs, similar to the technology developed by Group14. The company did not reveal the valuation for its latest funding in its statement, but a source familiar with the matter told Reuters it was higher than the startup's value of more than $1 billion in a 2022 round. The battery materials manufacturer had secured $614 million in its extended series C round in 2022, and the latest series D funding brings the total equity raised to more than $1 billion, the company said. The new round, series D, also saw participation from existing investors such as Porsche Investments, ATL, OMERS, Decarbonization Partners, Lightrock Climate Impact Fund and Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund. The battery active material (BAM) factory in South Korea produces Group14's SCC55 at EV scale. The company now fully owns three BAM factories, with the other two located in Washington. "We're strengthening regional battery supply chains and safeguarding our customers from global trade uncertainty," CEO Rick Luebbe said.

Analog Devices forecasts upbeat results on strong industrial demand

An Analog Devices logo appears in this illustration taken August 18, 2025. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) -Analog Devices forecast fourth-quarter revenue above analysts' expectations on Wednesday, as the company anticipates stable demand for its products despite tariff uncertainty. The chipmaker has benefited from increased demand in its industrial segment, resulting in healthy bookings trends and growth in its order backlog, as manufacturers pulled forward shipments amid shifting U.S. tariff policies. Shares of the Wilmington, Massachusetts-based company rose about 4% in premarket trading. The company forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $3.00 billion, plus or minus $100 million, above analysts' estimates of $2.82 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. On an adjusted basis, the company expects fourth-quarter, profit per share to be $2.22, plus or minus 10 cents, above analysts' estimates of $2.03. "We closed the third quarter with continued backlog growth and healthy bookings trends, notably in the Industrial end market," said CEO Vincent Roche. Industrial revenue, which accounts for 45% of the company's total sales, rose 23% to $1.29 billion in the third quarter. The industrial segment focuses on providing advanced semiconductor solutions that power automation, sensing and control systems across various industries. Sales in the automotive segment grew 22% to $850.6 million for the third quarter. The company posted third-quarter revenue of $2.88 billion, above analysts' estimates of $2.77 billion.
