Ocean
Record amounts of sargassum seaweed are accumulating on Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico beaches, causing oxygen depletion, foul odors, and potential health hazards. The algae bloom blocks sunlight from underwater plants and may contaminate sand with arsenic.
Climate
Brazil's Grand Carajás iron mine makes the country a mining superpower but causes pollution, displacement, and silenced histories in Amazon communities. The project highlights tensions between economic development and environmental and social costs in the region.
Energy
Anthro Energy has begun construction on a first-of-its-kind US battery materials factory in Louisville, Kentucky. The facility is designed to produce enough materials annually to support up to 25 gigawatt-hours of lithium-ion batteries.

Cleveland-Cliffs Redirects Half a Billion Dollars in Clean Steel Funding to Coal at Middletown Works
Cleveland-Cliffs abandons clean energy transition at Middletown Works, redirecting $500 million in DOE clean steel funding toward continued coal use instead.
Energy
Austria is overhauling its solar subsidy framework from 2027 to prioritize battery storage and energy management systems alongside traditional solar installations. The government aims to deploy up to 8 GW of storage capacity by 2030 to accelerate the energy transition.
Energy
New Zealand set a solar record in 2025 with seven utility-scale plants commissioned. An additional 930 MW of solar capacity is expected to come online over the next three years.
Energy
Jiangsu Province in China has become the first provincial region to reach 100 GW of installed solar capacity, with distributed solar comprising nearly 70%. The province plans continued expansion through 2030-2035 while upgrading grid infrastructure and storage systems.
Ocean
Scientists argue that combining art and science can boost public awareness and conservation efforts for threatened coral reef ecosystems. Coral reefs face escalating threats from climate change, bleaching, and mining activities.
Policy
Spain launched a consultation to establish 23 new marine protected areas in the Canary Islands and Mediterranean to meet its 2030 goal of protecting 30% of national waters.
Wildlife
Arctic terns and other seabirds undertake extraordinary migrations spanning continents and oceans. The story explores efforts to protect interconnected migration routes and flyways critical for these species' survival.
Climate
A record-breaking heatwave swept across Asia earlier this month, causing deaths and heat-related illnesses linked to a strong El Niño event. Weather experts warn this could be one of the strongest El Niño patterns ever recorded.
Climate
England faces record heat, drought, and deaths this summer with widespread hosepipe bans and depleted reservoirs. Climate scientist warns of increasingly extreme weather swings between dry summers and wet winters in coming years.
Energy
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology is transitioning from specialized use to becoming standard in grid infrastructure. The shift reflects growing adoption of HVDC for long-distance power transmission, though broader grid modernization is lagging behind.
Energy
Fraunhofer ISE researchers developed semitransparent organic photovoltaic modules achieving 9.3% efficiency with 43.2% visible transmittance. The scalable manufacturing approach shows promise for roll-to-roll production of building-integrated solar technology.
Ocean
Indigenous fishers in Colombia are reconsidering shark hunting practices to protect endangered species along the coast. The shift represents a conservation effort by local communities to preserve marine biodiversity.
Climate
European wildfires could burn 39% more land by century's end even with emission reductions, or 192% more with continued high emissions. Emissions reductions are identified as key to mitigating wildfire impacts.
Policy
A California judge ruled that an offshore oil pipeline near Santa Barbara can resume operations despite opposition from state regulators and environmental groups. The pipeline was reopened earlier this year following Trump's order, citing US energy needs.
Policy
The Trump administration plans to remove a drilling-free buffer zone around Chaco Culture National Historical Park, a UNESCO world heritage site in New Mexico. UNESCO has raised concerns about the potential threats to this culturally significant area and is awaiting federal government response.
EV
Geely is developing solid-state EV batteries with 500 Wh/kg energy density, double current lithium-ion performance. Real-world validation is underway with pilot production planned for 2027.
Energy
Princeton Critical Minerals secured $16M in funding to scale its brine-based lithium production technology across the U.S. and South America. The technology aims to accelerate lithium extraction yields for battery production.
Energy
The Tennessee Valley Authority approved a 2026 Integrated Resource Plan that prioritizes gas power plants to support AI data center expansion. Environmental groups criticize the plan as expensive and risky for the region's climate goals.
EV
Mahle has developed a range extender technology for electric trucks to address the insufficient range limitations of battery electric heavy vehicles in demanding applications.
EV
A new 3 gigawatt-hour lithium-ion battery factory in North Carolina will produce Made-in-the-USA batteries for electric trucks with $100 million in DOE funding. The facility aims to secure domestic battery supply chains for the EV industry.
Energy
Europe installed 36 GWh of battery storage in 2025, representing 48% growth year-on-year. Germany led the market while Ukraine and Bulgaria entered the top five European nations.
Wildlife
Protected areas alone cannot stop wildlife trafficking; dismantling criminal networks is essential for effective conservation. The commentary argues that while local enforcement matters, addressing organized crime networks is necessary to secure protected areas from poaching.
