A vital waterway carrying 20% of the world's oil is flowing again after Iran lifted restrictions tied to a Lebanon ceasefire. The reopening ends weeks of disruption that sent global energy prices soaring.
Millions of Thai travelers will pay the same fares for buses, trains, and ferries during the Songkran holiday despite rising global energy costs. The government is using its Road Safety Fund to cover the difference and keep holiday travel affordable.
While energy prices surge across Europe, one small German village isn't feeling the pinch. Feldheim runs entirely on wind, solar, and biogas, shielding residents from global energy shocks.
Electric vehicles eliminated 1.7 million barrels of daily oil consumption in 2025, nearly matching what flows through one of the world's most critical shipping routes. This shift is saving countries billions while reshaping global energy security.
When power cuts left millions of Pakistanis in the dark, they turned their rooftops into power stations. Now their grassroots solar revolution is shielding the nation from global energy chaos.
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. #
Despite economic turmoil and political tensions, clean energy investment has surged to twice that of fossil fuels, proving the global energy transition is unstoppable. Africa is poised to lead the charge with solar power booming and COP32 heading to Addis Ababa.
Scientists have discovered massive reserves of naturally occurring hydrogen deep underground that could meet global energy needs for two centuries without producing carbon emissions. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, this "white gold" energy source forms naturally through geological processes and costs nothing to make.
Battery and energy storage technologies are leading a global innovation boom, with over 150 breakthroughs identified in 2025. Energy security is now driving more innovation than cost or climate concerns. #
Researchers just figured out how to produce ammonia using sunlight instead of massive amounts of fossil fuels, potentially slashing the 2% of global energy currently spent making fertilizer. The breakthrough could transform how we feed the world while fighting climate change.
For the first time in history, solar and wind energy generated more electricity worldwide than coal in 2025. The shift happened because renewable energy became cheaper than fossil fuels, making clean power the obvious choice for utilities and countries everywhere.
China's renewable energy revolution is producing solar panels so fast that electricity costs have dropped to 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, possibly the cheapest energy in human history. This manufacturing boom could solve global energy poverty and fossil fuel dependence, even as it creates massive disruptions.
A California solar startup just secured $20 million to bring clean heat technology to factories worldwide. Their innovative greenhouse system could replace coal and gas in industries that account for 26% of global energy use.
The world just crossed a major threshold in clean energy, with battery storage installations hitting 100 gigawatts for the first time in 2025. This breakthrough marks a turning point where storage is no longer backup power but the primary tool keeping electric grids stable.
A groundbreaking facility in Inner Mongolia is converting the Gobi Desert's wind and solar power into green ammonia, earning recognition from the World Economic Forum as a global energy model. This AI-powered system solves renewable energy's biggest problem: turning unpredictable wind and sun into reliable industrial fuel.
While China built its economy on coal, India is becoming the world's first "electrostate" by leaping straight to solar power and electric vehicles. The shift could reshape global energy and offer a blueprint for developing nations everywhere.
Egypt has begun producing and exporting green hydrogen to Europe and the US from its groundbreaking 100-megawatt facility in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The project, built through a partnership between Norway's Scatec and Egyptian partners, marks a major step toward cleaning up global energy.
More than 25 countries just committed to dramatically scale up clean fuel production by 2035, marking a major shift in global energy policy. The move comes as new research shows clean fuels could transform hard-to-decarbonize industries while creating thousands of jobs.
