Global electronic waste exceeded 60 million metric tons annually in recent years, yet only a limited share is formally recycled, leaving substantial volumes of recoverable nickel, cobalt, and other battery metals unused.
A proposed €2 billion green hydrogen development in Ukraine’s Volyn region illustrates how logistics and existing gas infrastructure are increasingly shaping project economics as much as renewable resource quality.
Wholesale electricity prices in Greece are increasingly falling to zero or negative territory during daylight hours, forcing renewable energy curtailments across the grid and exposing a structural imbalance between renewable deployment and system flexibility.
Fortescue’s private mining grid in Western Australia is now operating with 2.3 GW of generation capacity and more than 5 GWh of battery storage, yet its most consequential shift is not scale but control.
UK consortium has secured funding through the Battery Innovation Programme to develop a localized recycling pathway aimed at retaining critical battery materials within the national economy.
With electricity demand rising and cross-border congestion increasingly constraining renewable deployment, the European Commission has opened a €600 million funding call targeting strategic energy infrastructure across the bloc.
Swiss Geo Energy has secured a surface exploration permit in the Canton of Vaud to assess natural hydrogen, helium, and deep geothermal resources within a single integrated program, marking a first for Switzerland’s subsurface development strategy.
At the Darlington New Nuclear Project, Ontario Power Generation has completed installation of a 2.1 million pound basemat module for Unit 1, a step that signals the transition from site preparation to vertical construction for what provincial authorities describe as the first SMR program in the G7.
