The electrification of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles is no longer a distant dream but a reality unfolding on our roads. As electric semitrucks and other large EVs gain traction, the spotlight shifts to the electrical infrastructure that

Fraunhofer IWES has deployed two lidar-equipped buoys in the North Sea, marking the start of a year-long meteorological campaign for the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH). Since early September, the buoys have been stationed in the Germa

Australia’s parliament has enacted sweeping reforms to its environmental legislation, marking the most significant overhaul in a quarter-century and setting a new benchmark for transparency and accountability in the energy sector. The landmark legislation, passed late last week, mandates that all large carbon-emitting projects—including coal mines, gas fields, and industrial facilities—must publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and set binding pollution reduction targets. This move is poised to reshape investment, regulatory compliance, and the national dialogue on climate action, with global implications for energy policy and corporate sustainability reporting.

The inaugural Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX) in Denver on October 28 brought together utilities, hyperscalers, grid operators, regulators, financiers, and project developers to confront the accelerating collision between data center load and grid c

The European Union’s HiHELIOS project is tackling a critical challenge in the renewable energy sector: the need for flexible, high-performance energy storage systems that can integrate seamlessly with an increasingly green grid. As Europe transitions

Australia’s APA Group and CS Energy have solidified their partnership to develop the 400MW Brigalow Peaking power project near Chinchilla in Queensland. This gas-fired power station, slated for operation in 2028, aims to provide firming capacity duri

The UK’s energy sector has received a significant boost with the approval of the 480MW Morecambe offshore wind farm, marking the fourth such project to secure planning consent this year. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband granted the green light to Copenha

A team of researchers at Western University in Ontario, Canada, has unveiled a groundbreaking solid-state sodium battery design that could revolutionize energy storage for electric vehicles and renewable energy grids. The innovation replaces lithium—a costly, flammable, and increasingly scarce material—with sodium, one of the most abundant elements on Earth. Laboratory tests confirm the new battery not only matches the performance of traditional lithium-ion cells but also demonstrates superior thermal and mechanical resilience, making it a compelling candidate for next-generation energy storage solutions.

This week, the race for commercial fusion energy took a giant leap forward as UK-based Tokamak Energy announced a world-first: the successful replication of fusion power plant magnetic fields using its Demo4 high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet system. This milestone not only validates a critical technical pathway for fusion reactors but also unlocks transformative applications for HTS technology—from zero-emission aviation to ultra-efficient power distribution and magnetic levitation transport.
