Eighteen EU member states signed a cross-border autonomous vehicle testbed agreement in Luxembourg on June 8, with $21.8 million in digital infrastructure funding launching this month.
Billion Watts and Enervest are developing smaller battery sites across NSW and Victoria. The portfolio targets local grid support, storage revenues and resilience.
South Africa has enacted one of the most ambitious sustainability disclosure frameworks on the African continent. What the framework requires and what most companies can actually produce are two different things.
Farms and rural firms are adding small wind to solar and storage. Hybrid systems can support resilience, manage costs and reduce grid dependence at more sites.
A UK consortium validated a floating hydrogen hub delivering 5MW of clean shore power to docked ships with no grid connection, cutting years off typical port electrification timelines.
Tiny species are driving a bigger recovery story. Lord Howe Island’s invertebrate rebound shows why invasive species work matters.
REPS has raised $23.6M to scale road-based energy harvesting. The system converts vehicle movement into power for ports and logistics hubs.
The move toward Iceland, Norway, and northern Canada is being driven by cooling physics and long-term climate trajectory as much as by renewable energy access.
GAIA BioMaterials has gained European patent approval for PLA-free film materials. The compounds target compostable bags, aprons and other flexible uses.
Germany celebrated the shutdown of its last nuclear reactors in April 2023 as a moral victory. The nuclear exit was framed as a triumph of environmental responsibility: proof that a modern industrial nation could renounce 'dangerous' technologies and lead the world toward a cleaner future. A new analysis suggests the opposite happened.
Wet bulb temperatures in the Gulf and South Asia are crossing physiological safety limits earlier each year. Most multinational heat protocols are not calibrated to where peak exposure actually occurs.
A new electrified cement process could cut energy use and emissions. Using waste cement as feedstock, UBC researchers report a possible circular route.
France's nuclear fleet reduces output every summer as river cooling limits are exceeded. For multinationals with European operations, the seasonal price spike is now predictable enough to plan around.
Fusion is moving from lab work to infrastructure planning. A new UK consortium aims to turn momentum into a bankable commercial power project.
InstaVolt is using battery storage to cut grid pressure and support faster EV charging. The move could help operators grow while connections lag.
Zelestra’s 6.5 MWdc Ginosa plant is now online in Puglia. The project links clean power with continued farming, a long-term PPA and student training.
What do industrial operations leaders heading into contract renewals in 2026 need to know?
SANY is scaling local production as global equipment rules tighten. Its 2025 report links electrification, digital oversight and compliance.
Vulcan’s Frankfurt lithium plant moves Europe’s battery supply plans closer to production. NORAM will supply electrolysis technology for refining.
The Hormuz closure did not create new risk in corporate energy portfolios. It made visible the risk that was already priced at zero.
