NEXTCHEM WILL PROVIDE THE FUEL CELL MODULES, WHILE SIEMENS ENERGY WILL PROVIDE ON BOARD SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

MILAN, Sept. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MAIRE (Milan: MAIRE) announces that NEXTCHEM and Siemens Energy signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate on the development and commercialization of a breakthrough methanol high temperature fuel cell, based on a newly designed modularized solution.

With an initial focus on the high-end yachting segment, the target market for the cooperation is the maritime industry and beyond.

NEXTCHEM will focus on the design and supply of the innovative and highly efficient methanol fuel cell module, while Siemens Energy will leverage its expertise in onboard system integration, complete electrification and energy management with the aim of delivering a complete solution to shipyards and Owners.

The fuel cell will reform low-carbon methanol back into hydrogen for onboard power generation, allowing net-zero operations of the vessel both at anchor and during propulsion. This solution will allow displacing significant amounts of fossil marine diesel fuel, and to avoid the emissions of highly regulated nitrous and sulphur oxides.

The first “Industrial scale” installation of this innovative system is already under definition and will be installed on a flagship net-zero yacht currently under construction.

While the yachting segment is seen as an early adopter market, this new highly efficient methanol fuel cell module designed and supplied by NEXTCHEM will be capable of serving many other applications and markets, like stationary net-zero power generation, including back-up and baseload of data centers and industrial processes, as well as remote and off-grid installation.

Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of NEXTCHEM, commented: “With this highly efficient and modularized fuel cell solution NEXTCHEM will cover the entire value chain of low-carbon methanol, with a unique proposition capable to deliver best-in-class production technologies, while also unlocking additional methanol uses, thus, accelerating demand growth and the establishment of a broader low-carbon methanol economy”.

Giuseppe Sachero, Vice President, Oil & Gas and Chemical Solutions, Siemens Energy, added: “This development highlights the unique value of key players in the energy transition value chain. By working together, we capitalize on each other’s expertise and references in adjacent industries. Fuel cells are an integral part of the clean fuels technologies ecosystem, from electrolysis to electricity generation and storage, and are applicable in multiple industrial applications.”

MAIRE S.p.A. is a leading technology and engineering group focused on advancing the Energy Transition. We provide Integrated E&C Solutions for the downstream market and Sustainable Technology Solutions through three business lines: Sustainable Fertilizers, Low-Carbon Energy Vectors, and Circular Solutions. With operations across 50 countries, MAIRE employs nearly 10,200 people, supported by around 50,000 professionals involved in its projects worldwide.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit X Block Scholes Options Volatility Report. in collaboration with Block Scholes. The latest edition highlights a sharp decline in realized volatility across major cryptocurrencies, a bearish shift in bitcoin skew, and strategic insights into options positioning.

The report underscores a market dynamic where realized volatility for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and solana (SOL) reached historic lows in early September, even as macroeconomic headwinds and monetary policy shifts added pressure to global markets. Despite the subdued realized activity, implied volatility remains elevated, pointing to ongoing demand for risk protection.

Key highlights:

• Historic lows in realized volatility: BTC, ETH, and SOL all posted realized volatilities significantly below their 2025 averages, with BTC falling to 20% compared to its annual mean of 42%.
• Persistent implied premium: Options continue to price implied volatility at roughly 1.5 times realized levels across major assets, a trend that narrowed slightly following the Federal Reserve’s September policy decision.
• Bearish bitcoin skew: Despite bitcoin’s all-time high of $124,000 in August, options markets priced downside protection at a premium, marking a sentiment shift from bullish to bearish. BTC skew has since remained negative, while ETH skew diverged in late September toward call-side strength.

Realized Volatilities Collapse to Historic Lows

Despite macro-driven rallies in August and September, realized volatility for BTC, ETH, and SOL fell to historic lows. Seven-day realized volatility dropped to 20% for BTC (vs. a 2025 average of 42%), 40% for ETH (vs. 71%), and 56% for SOL (vs. 85%). Implied volatility, however, held at roughly 1.5 times realized levels across all three assets, a pattern the report attributes to structural demand for optionality beyond short-term event risk.

BTC Skew Reflects Bearish Sentiment Amid Inflation Shock

Bitcoin’s August 14 all-time high of $124,000 quickly reversed following a hotter-than-expected inflation print, driving risk-off sentiment. Options markets reacted with BTC’s 90-day skew turning negative for only the third time this year, reflecting strong demand for downside protection at that time. The bearish skew has persisted through September, with ETH diverging — flipping bullish on out-of-the-money calls — creating the sharpest year-to-date split in skew and volatility between the two assets.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit X Block Scholes Options Volatility Report.
