The global race for secure, sustainable lithium supply just took a significant leap forward. Lithium Bank has formalized a strategic development agreement to advance its Boardwalk lithium brine project-one of North America’s largest lithium brine resources-toward commercial production by 2027. The centrepiece of this initiative is the adoption of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology, a next-generation solution…
A major breakthrough in battery technology has emerged from a leading research institution: a next-generation anode design that uses an external magnetic field to regulate lithium-ion transport, effectively suppressing dendrite growth while delivering significantly higher energy storage. This innovation could pave the way for a safer, explosion-free “dream battery” that overcomes two of the biggest…
The advanced air mobility (AAM) sector is entering a new phase of execution, with one of the leading electric air taxi developers now moving from technology validation to high-volume manufacturing. The company has announced a major expansion of its U.S. production capacity, with a clear target: to build four electric air taxis per month by 2027.…
Executive Overview
GE Vernova has secured a landmark contract from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) to modernise the Chandrapur back-to-back High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link, a strategically vital 1,000-megawatt interconnection between western and southern power grids. While geographically anchored in India, the project reflects a broader global shift toward HVDC transmission modernization…
Brazil has taken a decisive step in its aviation decarbonization journey: Salvador Bahia Airport has become the country’s first airport to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for regular commercial operations. Starting in November 2025, the airport began delivering blended SAF for daily flights operated by two major Brazilian carriers, setting a new benchmark for sustainable aviation in…
German battery recycling company cylib has secured a €63.4 million grant from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy to finance the second build-out stage of its Dormagen facility. This funding will enable the construction of Europe’s first dedicated industrial-scale LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) recycling line, doubling the facility’s total planned capacity to 60,000 tonnes…
Delhi EV Policy 2.0 Targets Clean Mobility with Focus on Charging, Recycling, and Last-Mile EVs
The Delhi government has finalized the draft for its much-anticipated EV Policy 2.0, laying the foundation for a major leap toward sustainable urban mobility. With a core emphasis on scaling charging infrastructure, introducing a structured battery recycling ecosystem, and expanding…
Hydrogen Power Revolution: Fuel Cells at 300°C
Kyushu University researchers have achieved a landmark breakthrough in hydrogen energy technology. Their new solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operates efficiently at just 300°C, a dramatic reduction from the 700-800°C previously required. This advancement could lower costs and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen power systems across multiple sectors.
The…
Battery Supply Chain Divergence in the U.S. Signals Strategic Shift Toward Energy Storage
The elimination of the United States’ federal electric vehicle tax credit has triggered a structural realignment in domestic battery manufacturing. While the long-term implications remain uncertain, what is becoming clear is that U.S.-based battery producers are increasingly pivoting away from EVs and…
Across the United States, water utilities are standing at a crossroads. Aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants, and rising operational costs are creating a perfect storm of challenges. Yet within this pressure lies opportunity. The next decade will belong to utilities that embrace innovation, data-driven planning, and transparent engagement with their communities.
The path forward depends on…
