A major American hydrogen company is exploring partnership with a Chinese manufacturer to accelerate the global shift to green energy. The collaboration could help bring affordable hydrogen technology to markets worldwide.
After a decade-long journey through four presidential administrations, Vineyard Wind just installed its final turbine blade, making it America's largest offshore wind farm. The Massachusetts project will soon power hundreds of thousands of homes while saving residents $1.4 billion on electricity bills over 20 years.
Clean energy companies just locked in over $1 billion in funding to build hydrogen production facilities from Paraguay to Finland. The global push could revolutionize how we make fertilizer, power vehicles, and store renewable energy.
Scientists at MIT are pioneering technology to tap superhot underground rocks for clean electricity that never stops flowing. If costs keep dropping, geothermal energy could supply 15% of new global electricity demand by 2050.
For the first time ever, nearly a third of Oscar-nominated films acknowledge climate change in their stories. Five films passed the "Climate Bechdel Test" by showing climate impacts and having characters recognize them.
Scientists just solved one of solar energy's biggest problems by creating perovskite panels that last longer and work better than ever before. This breakthrough could finally bring next-generation solar technology to your rooftop.
Every candidate in Paris's mayoral race now supports green policies that conservatives once fought against. Two decades of tree planting and car reduction have made the city's environmental transformation permanent.
A new program in Botswana is giving climate and digital tech startups the tools they need to grow faster and solve big challenges. The partnership between Botswana Innovation Fund and Scalar Energy Africa launched this week with government backing.
A new climate prize is putting $200,000 toward solutions that tackle methane emissions from food and waste systems. The gas traps 85% more heat than CO2 but breaks down faster, making it a powerful target for quick climate wins.
Japan's Fast Retailing, parent company of UNIQLO, just crushed its climate goal four years early by slashing emissions 90% from stores and offices. The retail giant proves major fashion companies can move fast on climate action while growing their business. ##
A beaver expert who consulted on Pixar's new film Hoppers reveals the surprisingly accurate science behind the movie's adorable dam builders. From "beaver butt juice" in your vanilla flavoring to why these 110-pound engineers could never be classroom pets, the real story is just as wild as the film.
America's hydropower plants have been quietly powering homes for over a century, and now a new wave of water-based energy storage projects could help meet surging electricity demand. The once-forgotten renewable energy source is getting fresh attention as tech companies seek carbon-free power for data centers.
A Seattle entrepreneur has diverted over three million diapers from landfills by turning bamboo diapers into biochar fertilizer. Her innovation required convincing regulators to approve a process never before permitted in Washington State. #
Ethiopia is building hotels faster than any country in Africa, with nearly 80% of its planned 6,000 rooms already under construction. The boom comes as the nation prepares to host 80,000 global leaders at the 2027 UN climate summit.
Indian businesses are slashing energy bills and emissions by tapping directly into solar power, bypassing traditional utilities in a model that added 6.1 GW of clean capacity in just nine months. The open access solar revolution is turning corporate sustainability from aspiration into competitive advantage.
Australia could unlock $300 billion in economic opportunity through 70 clean industrial projects that decarbonize heavy industry while creating jobs. The path forward requires coordinated action between government, industry, and finance to turn renewable potential into global leadership.
Scientists discovered how a ground-hugging plant called hornwort supercharges photosynthesis, and they've already tested the trick in lab plants. This breakthrough could help crops grow faster while using less water and fertilizer.
Deep in a Bavarian forest, scientists have found naturally occurring "white hydrogen" flowing from the ground, a clean energy source that could change the world. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, this fuel forms naturally underground and could meet global energy needs for centuries. #
Zimbabwe just introduced a game-changing maize variety that can survive droughts and disease while delivering bigger harvests. The breakthrough is part of a nationwide push to help farmers thrive despite increasingly unpredictable weather.
Deep in a Bavarian forest, geologist Jürgen Grötsch just discovered naturally flowing hydrogen that could power the world without manufacturing costs or emissions. A single village in Mali is already using this "white hydrogen" to generate electricity, and experts say there's enough underground to meet global demand for 200 years. ##
