Executive Brief
Extreme weather events are no longer edge cases for power systems—they are defining stress tests. From Winter Storm Uri in Texas to Hurricane Ida along the U.S. Gulf Coast, recent disruptions have exposed the vulnerability of aging distribution networks and underscored the urgency of data-driven grid modernization.
Leading utilities and system planners are…
Executive Overview
India’s electric vehicle (EV) transition has entered a decisive phase. Between early 2023 and mid-2025, the country’s public EV charging infrastructure expanded nearly fourfold, driven by policy alignment, private capital inflows, and increasing technology standardisation.
However, headline growth masks structural inefficiencies. Charger concentration in select urban clusters, low utilization rates, and persistent grid…
Regulatory Clearance Marks Key Milestone
The Queensland government has granted environmental approval to Australian bioenergy developer Jet Zero for its Townsville-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development, Project Ulysses.
The approval confirms the project’s regulatory readiness and significantly de-risks its pathway toward a final investment decision (FID) in 2026, according to Jet Zero. The decision positions…
A €63.4 million grant supporting Europe’s first dedicated industrial-scale LFP battery recycling line marks a strategic inflection point for the continent’s battery ecosystem. Backed by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the funding underlines how battery recycling is becoming core industrial infrastructure, not a downstream environmental afterthought.
For executives across automotive, energy storage,…
2025 marked a breakout year for Adani Group’s clean energy platform, as its solar, wind, and green hydrogen businesses achieved record scale, advanced technology adoption, and first-of-its-kind projects that solidify its role in the global energy transition.
Adani’s clean energy portfolio crossed a major threshold in 2025, with its solar manufacturing arm Adani Solar surpassing 15,000 megawatts (MW)…
The world’s water infrastructure is entering a new era. Faced with climate volatility, aging assets, and rising demand, the hydropower and water management sectors are turning to smart dams-digitally enhanced systems that combine sensors, real-time monitoring, automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing to optimise performance, reduce risk, and support long-term sustainability.
Unlike conventional dams, which…
India’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution is entering a critical expansion phase. A recent industry report projects that demand for EV batteries in India will grow more than 14 times over the next seven years, rising from around 17.7 GWh in 2025 to over 256 GWh by 2032.
This explosive growth highlights the rapid electrification of India’s automotive sector and signals…
The global effort to address the persistent challenge of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has reached a pivotal moment. Breakthrough technology has now demonstrated the ability to achieve near-total destruction of PFAS at an industrial scale, fundamentally transforming the approach to environmental remediation and setting a new benchmark for sustainability across industries.
PFAS, often called…
