Scope 3 covers the emissions a company causes but doesn't control — usually the largest share of its footprint and always the hardest to measure. Here's how the categories work, which disclosure mandates are already binding worldwide, and where the honest difficulties live.

Utility rate cases can take a year to clear, and corporate electrification targets now carry legal disclosure weight, turning a planning gap into a financial risk.

Europe’s renewable boom is exposing gaps in grid flexibility. Pumped storage is gaining attention as negative prices, heat and curtailment rise.

Taiwan is freezing industrial power rates and planning grid capacity around named fabs, while TSMC secures its own dedicated generation rather than wait.

A new model shows how tiny spacer layers change 2D perovskites. It could help engineers design better LEDs, solar cells and other light-based devices.

Monitoring data submitted to EPA detected PFNA and PFHxS in catfish tissue as the agency weighs rescinding federal determinations for both compounds.

Hydro-Québec once promoted low-cost hydropower to attract data centers. Now it is proposing higher rates and tighter access as demand strains supply.

As grid constraints grow, manufacturers and data center developers are prioritizing guaranteed power delivery over the lowest electricity prices.

Biochar is getting a real-world road test. Verde and Ergon are moving their cold paving partnership toward field projects, carbon credits and commercial use.

Norfolk, Nebraska's wastewater land purchase reflects a broader strategy as utilities secure room for future industrial growth and infrastructure expansion.

Treasury now expects to finalize 45Z clean fuel tax credit regulations in November, extending uncertainty for renewable fuel projects and investment planning.

The UAE is showing what happens when power, capital, permitting, and chip access are coordinated before construction begins, not assembled project by project.

Core Natural Resources subsidiary CONSOL Innovations was selected for a DOE grant to pilot rare earth element recovery from Pennsylvania coal waste.

Tax incentives are sliding down site selection checklists as states compete on power availability, and several are already rebuilding programs around it.

Desert mosses may carry fungi that help them handle heat. The discovery could shift how scientists approach dryland restoration and climate stress.

Ireland could owe up to $30 billion (€26 billion) by 2030 for missing EU climate targets, new fiscal modeling shows, with costs rising after 2030.

Power constraints can delay facility openings, increase carrying costs, and force expensive temporary power investments that reshape project economics for CFOs.

Data centers are absorbing grid capacity that manufacturers need for expansion, forcing executives to treat power access as a site selection variable.

Volvo is putting greener materials inside its newest truck cabs. The move brings recycled plastics, fibers and certified wood into VNL and VNR models.

Blackstone's QTS dropped its final appeal, terminating pursuit of a 2,100-acre Virginia data center campus after courts voided the project's rezoning approvals.
