Researchers from the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa have successfully deployed the Small Underwater Research Flap Wave Energy Converter (SURF-WEC) off the coast of Oahu. This device, which functions like a buoyant, oscillating door anchored to the seabed, captures energy from ocean waves to generate electricity.

Global ocean temperatures have reached an unprecedented high, surpassing previous records as the combined effects of human-driven climate change and the intensifying El Niño weather phenomenon take hold. Data from the European Copernicus climate change service indicates that average surface temperatures outside polar regions hit 21.1C, exceeding the previous record set in March 2024.

Hydrogen production costs are not following the rapid, consistent decline seen in solar modules and lithium-ion batteries. While solar and battery technologies benefit from the mass production of standardized, repetitive units, hydrogen plants are complex industrial systems requiring extensive engineering, civil works, and specialized equipment.

The United Kingdom faces a critical challenge as household energy costs remain double their 2010 levels, despite a significant increase in renewable electricity generation.

While clean power now accounts for nearly half of the nation’s energy mix, the current wholesale market structure allows gas-powered generation to dictate pricing, preventing consumers from benefiting from cheaper renewable sources. To address this, a new proposal suggests a mass rollout of rooftop solar panels funded by a twenty-five-year green sovereign bond.

Europe’s recent extreme heat waves have highlighted a significant vulnerability in the continent’s energy infrastructure.

As temperatures soar, the rising demand for air conditioning coincides with a decline in the performance of nuclear power plants that rely on river water for cooling.

In countries like France, Switzerland, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, plants have been forced to reduce output or shut down entirely due to high river temperatures and low water levels.

The United Kingdom has officially legalized “balcony solar,” allowing residents to purchase and install plug-in solar modules and batteries to power their homes.

Following similar rollouts in Germany and Spain, the UK’s move has intensified calls for Australia to modernize its own regulations. Advocacy groups like Solar Citizens are urging Australian authorities to adopt similar safety standards, arguing that the technology is already accessible to consumers.

Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony has unveiled an ambitious strategy to harness the city’s rooftop solar potential, aiming to install ten million square metres of solar modules paired with energy storage. This initiative represents a significant technical capacity of approximately 5 GW, which the Mayor notes is roughly two and a half times the capacity of the Paks nuclear power plant.

While the annual electricity generation from these installations is estimated at 5.5 to 6 TWh, the project marks a major shift toward urban renewable energy integration and a substantial reduction in the capital’s carbon footprint.

Noon Energy and Sabanci Renewables have entered a strategic partnership to provide round-the-clock clean power for energy-intensive AI infrastructure.

By integrating Sabanci’s renewable energy portfolio with Noon Energy’s ultra-long-duration energy storage technology, the collaboration aims to overcome the intermittency challenges of wind and solar power.

The project targets a capacity of up to 1 gigawatt, or 100 gigawatt-hours, utilizing reversible electrofuels battery systems.

Researchers at Flinders University have engineered a sustainable, high-performance aqueous zinc-iodine battery (AZIB) that could serve as a viable alternative to lithium-ion technology for large-scale energy storage.

By utilizing a biodegradable, starch-derived polymer to prevent the degradation typically caused by the “shuttle effect,” the team achieved a remarkable lifespan of over 60,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Cement production is a significant contributor to global environmental concerns, accounting for up to eight percent of worldwide CO2 emissions due to the intense heat required to process limestone. Researchers from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with Heirloom Carbon Technologies, have proposed a solution by integrating Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology into the manufacturing process.
