Japan wants to build a solar panel ring around the moon

Unlike solar power on Earth, which is limited by night cycles, weather, and seasons, the Moon offers something close to uninterrupted exposure to the Sun. By placing solar infrastructure in orbit or along the lunar surface, engineers could generate continuous clean energy at a scale that may exceed global electricity demand,  the Japanese scientists say.

Korean researchers create battery from greenhouse gases

Professor Ji-Soo Jang, in collaboration with Professor Taekwang Yoon of Ajou University and Professor Hansel Kim of Chungbuk National University, has developed a novel energy device that generates electricity during the process of capturing greenhouse gases.

SunZia comes online and America’s 11B, and largest renewable project begins wind power

The impact is already being felt. California has broken its wind generation record multiple times in recent weeks as SunZia begins feeding electricity into the grid. It’s a glimpse of what a renewable-powered future could look like when large-scale infrastructure finally comes online. Can we start saying goodbye to Saudi Aramco and Arabian Gulf oil? 

Renewables hit 5,149 GW in 2025 as the world edges away from oil shocks and fossil-fueled conflict

“In the midst of uncertain time, renewable energy remains consistent and steadfast in its expansion,” said Francesco La Camera, IRENA’s Director-General. “A more decentralised energy system, with a growing share of renewables and more market players, is structurally more resilient.”

SolCold wants to cool buildings using sunlight

For centuries people living in hot climates have tried to cool buildings without electricity. Long before air conditioning, architecture itself acted as the cooling...

Batteries from salt? New grid projects suggest the idea is becoming real

Peak Energy makes storage batteries from salt making us one step closer to cleaner, endless energy from the wind and the sun

Essaouira Offshore Wind and what it means for surfers, music festivals and the wild

Morocco’s proposed 1,000 MW offshore wind project near Essaouira promises climate leadership and renewable energy for this Magreb country, but along this stretch of Atlantic coast, wind is more than energy. The coastline is culture, economy, and identity.

Xcimer is the Denver-based startup that could put Saudi Arabia out of business

An American company can collapse OPEC if they can prove their approach to unlimited energy works.

Astro uses AI to help procure land for renewable energy

For oil-rich, environmentally vigilant Gulf states, Astro isn’t just another startup story. It is a blueprint for accelerating an energy transition that is now existential, not optional.

How Renewable Energy is Revolutionizing the Way We Power Our World

Solar has become the star of the transition thanks to modular hardware and straightforward installation. It fits dense cities and remote towns alike. Many companies are turning to rooftop arrays and carport systems - and exploring commercial solar installation as a practical way to lock in future savings.

Leading Through a Dual-Energy Transition: Balancing Decarbonisation with Energy Security

Experience in one area of the energy industry isn't enough to guarantee readiness across all the others. That's where a structured program like an MBA in energy can come in. Today's advanced curricula explore energy economics, finance, policy, and strategic management alongside the technical subjects. And when pursuing an energy MBA online, professionals can skill up and retrain without having to step out of the labor market -- an important perk at a time when skilled professionals are already in short supply.

M2PV Capital Targets the American Southwest as Its Launchpad for Off-Grid EV Growth

In the American Southwest, electric vehicles face extreme heat, long travel distances, and limited grid access that expose the real infrastructure gaps behind the EV transition. M2PV Capital is building off-grid charging and power systems designed to operate independently in the region’s most demanding conditions.

How you create green steel on a blockchain

The thing about raw materials is that once they are melted down, you can't prove the source of the material. Same is true with gold, cucumbers and even forged products that look the same as the real thing. When it comes to steel, and how we produce it, it has a massive carbon problem. What's happening in Japan right now could change how we think about heavy industry and climate action.

Israeli investors secure $120 million USD loan to build wind power in Romania

BIG MEGA Renewable Energy, a joint venture between publicly listed Israeli real-estate companies BIG Shopping Centers Ltd. and MEGA OR Holdings, has built a growing presence in Romania’s wind energy sector through two major project financings over the past two years.

Was the Flydubai cockpit emergency an attempted terror attack — or a pilot in crisis?

What happened inside the cockpit of flydubai Flight FZ1073 on Wednesday morning is still under investigation, but the story has become considerably more disturbing since the first reports of a “fight between pilots.”

Two People, One Dataset, and a Disagreement Nobody Can Settle

Two people can look at the same sustainability dashboard and reach different conclusions. The problem is not necessarily the data, but whether anyone can trace how the number was produced.

Arabia Suburbia was adapted from the American blueprint for suburban living

Walk through almost any Saudi city today and one form dominates residential streets: the detached villa, sitting on its own plot, separated from its neighbors, usually surrounded by a wall and reached by car. It feels thoroughly Saudi. But much of the architectural DNA of the modern Saudi house comes from American suburbia.

Leen Kawas and the Work of Carrying Promising Medicines Forward

EIT Pharma CEO Leen Kawas is advancing lonafarnib for chronic hepatitis D, showing how stalled late-stage drug programs can be revived and carried toward regulatory review.

The Financial Impact of Meta Glasses on Europe’s Eyewear Market

Smart glasses are changing the economics of eyewear by turning conventional frames into higher-priced technology products. What used to be mainly a sale built around frame design, lenses, prescription needs and brand preference is now also a sale built around cameras, audio, AI features, app support and connected-device setup.
