"A more decentralized energy system, with a growing share of renewables and more market players, is structurally more resilient. Countries that invested in the energy transition are weathering this crisis with less economic damage, as they boost energy security, resilience and competitiveness."
Metafuels' aerobrew technology converts renewable methanol into drop-in jet fuel, delivering up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional kerosene, with no modifications needed for existing aircraft.
Fusion power seeks to use the energy released from the fusing of atoms to generate electricity. Humans have known how to fuse atoms for decades, from the hydrogen bomb to various fusion devices built in labs.
The Strait of Hormuz - a narrow waterway through which roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply passes - has effectively closed to tanker traffic amid the escalating U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. Once again, the global economy is discovering the same uncomfortable truth: Modern energy security depends on supply chains that can break overnight.
At a meeting at the Paris headquarters of the intergovernmental body dedicated to global energy security, Wright referred to the "destructive illusion" of the IEA's commitment to massively reducing greenhouse gas emissions sourced from fossil fuels. The US, one of 45 member and associate countries of the IEA that represent 75% of the world's energy demand, is threatening to withdraw from the body if it does not quit its energy transition goals in the next year.
January 2026 showed just how violent this relationship can get: Henry Hub spiked to $30.72/MMBtu on January 23 - a near-tenfold surge - before collapsing to $3.13/MMBtu by February 23. Extreme winter heating demand and supply constraints drove that move - exactly what BOIL is built to capture on the upside, and what devastates holders on the way back down.
This project represents one of the UK's first commercial-scale low-carbon hydrogen production plants. The facility will produce around 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually using electrolysis, a process that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity generated from renewable sources, primarily wind energy.
Hyundai is exploring a "potential collaboration" with the Canadian hydrogen energy sector, it told CBC News on Thursday, as the South Korean automaker bets on natural gas-fuelled cars to be the future of the automotive industry. The revelation came a few days after Canada and South Korea signed a memorandum of understanding that will see the two co-operate in several key industries, including auto and battery manufacturing.
A barge-based configuration offers advantages over land-based facilities, according to BDC, including optimization of scarce land resources through offshore or nearshore deployment, vital in a country that is smaller than many cities, including London. This arrangement also offers segregation between hydrogen handling infrastructure and the core datacenter operations, the firm says, plus greater flexibility in hydrogen transport and storage, making use of Singapore's maritime ecosystem.
The DOE issued a Request for Information (RFI) on Wednesday, seeking responses from states that may be interested in hosting the campuses, which will operate a "full‑cycle nuclear ecosystem." In practice, this means these sites will be expected to provide facilities for atomic waste reprocessing and disposal, in addition to fuel fabrication and enrichment. They may also serve as locations for nuclear reactors and co‑located datacenters powered by them.
While the abrupt end to your home chef experience is inconvenient, the bigger issue is that your gas furnace still needs electricity to run, and it's supposed to drop into the 20s overnight. Now imagine that while everyone else is rifling through their junk drawer for flashlights and batteries,
Many planned projects have been delayed or scrapped. Adrian Odenweller and Falko Ueckerdt at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany tracked 190 projects globally that were due to begin operating in 2023. The researchers found that only 7% of these had begun operations as scheduled.
The Everett, Washington-based fusion energy startup Helion announced Friday that it has hit a key milestone in its quest for fusion power. Plasmas inside the company's Polaris prototype reactor have reached 150 million degrees Celsius, three-quarters of the way toward what the company thinks it will need to operate a commercial fusion power plant. "We're obviously really excited to be able to get to this place," David Kirtley, Helion's co-founder and CEO, told TechCrunch.
When Specian dug into the data, he discovered that implementing energy-efficiency measures and shifting electricity usage to lower-demand times are two of the fastest and cheapest ways of meeting growing thirst for electricity. These moves could help meet much, if not all, of the nation's projected load growth. Moreover, they would cost only half-or less-what building out new infrastructure would, while avoiding the emissions those operations would bring.
In the rolling hills of southeast Queensland, Australia, farmer and businessman Brent Finlay stands beneath turbines so tall they rival skyscrapers. "There's a lift inside that takes about 12 minutes to go from the bottom to the top," he said, pointing skyward. Forty-five of the giant turbines that now dot his property are part of the massive MacIntyre Wind Farm which will soon generate enough electricity to power 700,000 homes.
