The U.S. nuclear sector is entering a new test phase as startup Aalo breaks ground in Idaho on its first…

Transition Industries’ Pacifico Mexinol project will produce 6,130 metric tons of methanol daily, scaling to approximately 2.2 million tonnes annually…

Chile is positioning itself as a global leader in green hydrogen, with more than 70 projects under development and investment projections of $45 billion by 2030 and $330 billion by 2050, according to the Ministry of Energy’s 2022 report Green Hydrogen, a Country Project.

As Oklahoma’s oil rigs continue to fade into the background, researchers are turning to a different kind of subsurface resource: naturally occurring white hydrogen.

Data centers already account for more than 2% of U.S. electricity consumption, and with artificial intelligence accelerating demand, the power gap is widening. Pacifico Energy’s proposed GW Ranch project in Pecos County, Texas aims to address that gap by going off-grid—bypassing utility interconnections and regulatory bottlenecks in favor of a purpose-built, self-contained system combining gas turbines and battery storage.

Doosan Enerbility and state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) signed a memorandum of understanding with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and X-energy to advance the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) in the U.S.

Google’s escalating electricity demand for data centers has pushed the company to back one of the most ambitious bets in the U.S. energy sector: advanced nuclear power.

Global demand for lithium-ion batteries is projected to more than double within the next five years, driven by the expansion of electric mobility, grid-scale storage, and consumer electronics. While cell chemistry has advanced rapidly, the electrode manufacturing process remains a major bottleneck in both cost and energy efficiency.

HyTerra’s drilling campaign in Kansas has added fresh momentum to the emerging natural hydrogen sector, with the McCoy 1 well at its Nemaha project recording mud gas concentrations of up to 83% hydrogen and 5% helium.

As New York races to meet its 2030 goal of six gigawatts of battery storage capacity, opposition to siting lithium-ion facilities in residential and commercial districts is intensifying. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has stepped into the debate, voicing concern over the risks posed by battery energy storage systems (BESS) in densely populated areas and pledging new federal safety guidance tailored for municipalities on Long Island.
