A team of researchers has achieved a landmark advancement in green hydrogen production, demonstrating a mechanocatalytic approach to thermochemical water splitting at room temperature. This breakthrough, detailed in a recent study, promises to revolutionize the efficiency and scalability of hydrogen generation, addressing one of the most persistent barriers to a sustainable hydrogen economy.

A new alliance in the data center sector aims to address the surging demand for hyperscale, AI, and cloud infrastructure. LightHouse Data Centers, a next-generation turnkey data center developer and operator led by former Amazon Web Services (AWS) ex

The UK has secured a record 8.4GW of offshore wind capacity in Europe’s largest auction to date, marking a significant stride towards energy independence and lower consumer bills. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband hailed the results as a “major vote of co

Tokyo Century and Downing have formed a joint venture (JV) to develop solar power projects across the UK, targeting a cumulative capacity of approximately 500MW. This partnership marks Tokyo Century’s first foray into managing the full life cycle of

EDF’s decision to scrap the 58.4MW Blyth 2 floating wind farm project off north-east England sends ripples through the UK’s offshore wind sector, raising questions about the future of floating technology and the effectiveness of current market mechan

The energy storage landscape is on the brink of a major shift as sodium-ion batteries move from lab to grid. This month, US startup Peak Energy announced the first commercial deployment of grid-scale sodium-ion energy storage, offering a cheaper, safer, and more abundant alternative to lithium-ion. With sodium’s low cost, enhanced thermal stability, and long cycle life, these batteries are poised to transform how we store renewable energy—especially as global demand for affordable, scalable solutions surges.

Deep Isolation Nuclear has achieved a significant milestone in nuclear waste disposal technology, successfully completing its Project SAVANT, a two-year research initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–E

At the heart of Politecnico di Milano, the Nuclear Measurements Laboratories (NMLs) are quietly revolutionising how we interact with radiation. Neutrons, photons, and charged particles—once invisible agents—are now transformed into measurable, tracea

The US District Court for the District of Columbia has granted Revolution Wind a preliminary injunction, allowing the offshore wind project to resume activities immediately. This decision comes in response to a suspension order imposed by the Bureau

The Trump administration has finalized a sweeping rollback of regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a move that will fundamentally reshape how federal agencies evaluate and approve energy and infrastructure projects. Announced on January 7, 2026, the new directive rescinds longstanding requirements for detailed environmental impact assessments, slashing what the White House calls “needless bureaucratic burden” and promising to “restore common sense” to the permitting process. The action comes as Congress considers complementary legislation to place statutory limits on environmental reviews, set clear deadlines, and restrict judicial oversight—potentially the most significant change to NEPA in decades.
