Envision Energy Powers Vietnam’s 128 MW Nearshore Wind Project
Envision Energy has been selected by REE Group to supply turbines for a 128 MW nearshore wind project in Vinh Long Province, including V1-3 Phase II (48 MW) and V1-5 & V1-6 Phase II (80 MW). The project will deploy 16 EN-226/8.XMW turbines, making it the largest nearshore project in Vietnam and Southeast Asia by…
Why EnergyX Is Moving Beyond Batteries Into Nuclear Materials
Energy Exploration Technologies, Inc., better known as EnergyX, has launched a new nuclear-focused materials platform called NUKE-it™, marking a strategic expansion beyond battery materials and into the nuclear energy supply chain. The new platform is aimed at producing nuclear-grade lithium materials, with plans to expand into uranium and thorium technologies over time. The move positions…
Thermodynamic Computing Emerges as Potential Breakthrough in AI Efficiency
A new line of academic research suggests that a technique known as thermodynamic computing could one day reduce the energy needed for AI image generation by an extraordinary margin. Some researchers estimate potential energy savings of up to ten billion times compared with today’s AI systems. The idea is still experimental and far from commercial…
How Equatic Captures CO2 and Produces Clean Hydrogen
Equatic is part of a fast-growing group of climate start-ups betting that the ocean can help solve two major problems at once: removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and producing clean hydrogen. For investors, the appeal is clear. If the technology works at scale, it could tap into multiple massive markets at the same time.…
Revolutionary Battery Recycling Recovers 95% Lithium and Reduces Waste
Scientists in China have developed a new way to recycle lithium-ion batteries that could be a big win for the environment and clean energy. The method recovers almost all the lithium, traps carbon dioxide, and even turns leftover metal scraps into catalysts for green energy. If it can be scaled up, this approach could help…
£15B UK Plan Spurs Solar, Battery, Heat Pump Growth
The UK government has unveiled its long-awaited Warm Homes Plan, pledging £15 billion over the next five years to fund solar panels, heat pumps, and battery storage for households. The initiative aims to triple the number of homes with solar panels and lift one million people out of fuel poverty. It also introduces new rights…
Rio Tinto Links Mining to Clean Energy in Utah
Rio Tinto (LON:RIO) has turned on a 25-megawatt solar plant at its Kennecott copper mine in Utah. Along with a 5MW array finished in 2023, the site now has 30MW of solar capacity—enough to supply electricity for about 1,000 homes and cut Scope 2 emissions by 20,000 tons of CO₂, or the equivalent of taking…
Investors Bet on India’s Clean Energy Boom
India is electrifying faster than China did at the same stage of development. Per person, it uses less coal and oil than China did back in 2012. That means the country can grow without relying on fossil fuels as much. For investors, this shift is worth paying attention to. Kingsmill Bond from Ember points out…
Elon Musk’s Massive AI Power Claim Is Being Questioned
Elon Musk said this week that xAI’s Colossus 2 data center has reached a one gigawatt scale. Satellite imagery suggests that is not the case yet. Researchers at Epoch AI reviewed recent images of the site and say the system is still far from operating at that level. Cooling Capacity Tells a Different Story Colossus…
