Water scarcity is no longer a distant threat for England. It’s a national reality. As utilities invest in leakage control and infrastructure renewal, a quiet revolution is happening in an unexpected place: the stormwater network.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), once viewed purely as flood mitigation tools, are being reimagined as part of the nation’s long-term…
Proposed EPA PFAS Reporting Changes Raise Questions as New Contamination Data Emerges in North Carolina
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering changes to how businesses report per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act, a move that comes as new research suggests regulators may be missing significant sources of PFAS contamination.…
Introduction
Norway has launched one of the world’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects for heavy industry. Backed by billions in government funding, this groundbreaking effort could reshape how countries approach industrial decarbonization.
This isn’t a small trial. It’s a nation-wide commitment to capture, transport, and store CO₂ deep beneath the North Sea.…
Stellantis and Bolt Launch Strategic Partnership for Autonomous Ride-Hailing in Europe
Stellantis is making a confident return to autonomous mobility with a strategic alliance that places it at the forefront of future-ready transportation. In partnership with Estonia-based ride-hailing platform Bolt, Stellantis plans to launch fully driverless ride-hailing trials across Europe starting in 2026. This initiative…
Rimac Advances Solid-State Battery Technology for Bugatti’s Future Electric Supercars
Rimac Technology, the EV division of the Rimac Group, has confirmed it is developing solid-state battery technology and next-generation compact e-axles for future Bugatti models, with a debut expected in 2030. The announcement was made by Nurdin Pitarevic, Chief Operating Officer at Rimac Technology, during…
The UK has taken a significant step toward energy independence with the launch of a new direct lithium extraction (DLE) facility designed to support the nation’s Critical Minerals Strategy. As global competition for battery materials accelerates, this development positions the UK to reduce reliance on external supply chains and secure long-term access to a resource…
As the aviation industry accelerates toward decarbonization, Sweden has positioned itself at the forefront of electric flight. By October 2025, more than 8,000 electric aircraft takeoffs and landings have been completed at Skellefteå Airport, engaging over 100,000 participants across various initiatives. This makes Sweden-particularly the region of Västerbotten-one of the most active hubs for electric…
Global grid investment is on track to exceed $470 billion in 2025, marking the first time the world has spent this much on electricity transmission and distribution in a single year. This surge in spending reflects the central role of the grid in the energy transition, as countries race to connect new renewable generation, meet rising electrification targets, and…
EV Charging Infrastructure Has Reached Scale Public Perception Has Not
Despite significant progress in U.S. electric vehicle charging infrastructure, consumer perception continues to lag behind measurable reality. New national survey data indicates that concerns about charging time and driving range remain among the top barriers to EV adoption, even as infrastructure deployment accelerates at scale.…
Decarbonizing Where Batteries Can’t
Across industries like aviation, shipping, and heavy manufacturing, decarbonization remains one of the most complex challenges. These sectors depend on high-energy-density liquid fuels, where battery electrification is not technically or economically viable.
While hydrogen holds immense promise as a clean energy carrier, transporting and storing pure hydrogen remains difficult and costly,…
Hydrogen’s Inflection Point: From Promise to Performance
The hydrogen economy is no longer a distant dream; it is a present-day investment reality. With over $110 billion committed across 500+ projects globally, hydrogen has crossed the threshold from theory to deployment. The first commercial use cases are live. The technology has matured. Institutional capital is on…
Recycling Efficiency Redefines EV Sustainability
For years, critics of electric vehicles have argued that mining for battery materials is as environmentally harmful as fossil fuel extraction. However, recent advances in battery recycling are changing the narrative. A new pilot program is achieving recovery rates above 99% for key metals like nickel, cobalt, and manganese, setting…
