Chinese company Rongke Power unveiled a 2 MW/8 MWh vanadium flow battery system designed for long-duration energy storage and grid support. The technology targets large-scale GWh-level deployment.
An international research team developed an AI-powered robotic platform that autonomously designs and optimizes perovskite solar cells. The system fabricated over 50,000 devices, achieving efficiencies up to 27%.
Tandem PV opened a 40 MW commercial demonstration factory in Fremont, California for perovskite-silicon solar technology. The facility marks a major transition from laboratory research to scalable manufacturing of advanced solar panels.
Scientists rediscovered five bird species lost to documentation for over a decade in 2025. The findings reduced the global Lost Birds List from 163 species in 2022 to 120 today.
Warming ocean temperatures may threaten great white sharks by causing them to overheat, potentially undermining the evolutionary advantage that has made them apex predators for millions of years.
UNESCO-protected areas have maintained stable wildlife populations while global populations crashed 73% since 1970. Research shows these designated sites enable species recovery and benefit both wildlife and human communities.
The UK now has over 118,000 public EV charger points, surpassing the number of petrol pump nozzles. Public perception of this infrastructure milestone has yet to catch up with the reality on the ground.
A campaign is underway to protect the Great African Seaforest off Cape Town, one of the planet's few expanding kelp forests. The underwater habitat, with kelp reaching up to 30 feet tall, supports diverse marine life.
Indonesia's renewable energy adoption remains stalled in rural areas despite government pledges for energy transformation, hampered by fossil fuel subsidies and high upfront costs for household systems.
Independent testing found toxic metals in wastewater discharged from Tesla's Texas lithium refinery, contradicting state regulators' earlier assessment. The discovery raises concerns about environmental contamination from EV battery material processing.
The UK government announces measures to decouple gas and electricity prices while advancing clean power expansion. The strategy aims to reduce energy costs by breaking the traditional link between fossil fuels and renewable electricity pricing.
The Trump administration is invoking the Defense Production Act to provide hundreds of millions in subsidies to the declining coal industry. This represents additional federal support beyond previous handouts to the sector.
A federal judge blocked the Army Corps of Engineers' permit for a mountaintop removal coal mine on Coal River Mountain in West Virginia. Environmental groups challenged the decision, arguing it violated the Clean Water Act.
A U.S. District Court judge temporarily blocked Trump administration efforts to restrict renewable energy development. The ruling favors renewable energy developers against multiple regulatory obstacles.
The maritime sector accounts for 3% of EU CO2 emissions and could represent one-third of transport emissions by 2050. The EU is reviewing alternative fuels infrastructure regulations to make European ports future-proof.
A T&E analysis reveals that flawed booking systems hinder rail travel across Europe, while an upcoming EU Single Ticketing legislative package could simplify connecting train reservations. Improved booking accessibility is essential for Europe's rail renaissance to reach its full potential.
The EU must strengthen its minerals diplomacy to secure critical raw materials for renewable energy and EVs while avoiding new import dependencies. Strategic financial investment and international partnerships are essential to support the transition away from fossil fuels.
Six marine flyways used by migratory seabirds have been formally recognized by the U.N.'s Convention on Migratory Species. Scientists published research on these oceanic migration routes to help protect declining seabird populations.
The story discusses how global conflicts and oil supply disruptions highlight governments' dependency on fossil fuels. It calls for a new international treaty to end the fossil fuel era.
Indigenous leaders at the UN are addressing enforcement mechanisms for global climate court rulings as their communities face worsening climate impacts from mining, oil operations, and ocean warming.
Chinese court cases reveal that Southern African rhinoceroses are the primary source of trafficked rhino horns used in traditional Chinese medicine and decoration. The cases highlight the ongoing poaching crisis threatening rhino survival across the region.
Research shows burning wood for power generation may harm climate more than gas combustion, even with carbon capture technology. The findings challenge government subsidies for wood-burning power plants with attached carbon capture systems.
Sarah Finch, whose legal case set UK precedent on greenhouse gas emissions, won the Goldman Environmental Prize alongside five other women. Her ruling has been cited in decisions blocking North Sea oil concessions, a new coalmine, and factory farm expansion.
Six women environmental activists from around the world will receive the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize on April 20. This marks a historic first as all winners are women, recognized for their conservation efforts including protecting rare bat species in Nigeria.
