Sellafield said on 8 October it has completed the bulk removal of about 110 cubic metres of 1950s liquor from its oldest HALES tanks, on the same day it published a 2026 to 2031 strategy built on a budget of about £2.7 billion a year.
UK ministers granted consent on 8 October for the 500 MW Green Hill Solar Farm, keeping a 60 year operating life that two councils wanted cut to 40 years, with 854.5 ha of best and most versatile land out of arable use.

A planned 220,000 tonne per year biomethanol facility in the Netherlands is being positioned around access to renewable hydrogen, highlighting how hydrogen demand could increasingly emerge from processes that combine biogenic carbon with additional low carbon hydrogen rather than from conventional hydrogen applications alone.
The commercial shipping industry is moving from conceptual studies toward route specific testing of nuclear propulsion, with Hyundai Glovis and U.S. logistics company Liberty Global Logistics (LGL) now examining whether a small modular reactor-powered Pure Car and Truck Carrier could operate between South Korea and the United States.

Global hydrogen demand surpassed 100 million tonnes in 2025, yet low emissions hydrogen still accounted for only slightly more than 1% of production.
The European Union used 12.2% recycled materials in 2024, the highest circular material use rate on record, but only marginally above the previous year and just one percentage point higher than in 2015.
