As global demand for scalable, fire-safe, and cost-effective energy storage intensifies, lithium-ion technologies—despite their dominance—are facing growing scrutiny over thermal instability and sustainability concerns. A team of Korean researchers may now be offering a viable alternative through a breakthrough in zinc-ion battery architecture, anchored by a novel graphene-coated current collector.

The global steel industry is responsible for approximately 11% of worldwide CO2 emissions. Within Canada, the steel industry contributes 2% to national emissions, equating to over 2.4 billion Canadian dollars to the GDP, while employing over 23,000 workers directly.

With Australia hosting two of the world’s largest green hydrogen developments—together exceeding 96 GW of planned wind and solar capacity—Intercontinental Energy is betting that a new modular infrastructure model could help address the sector’s most persistent challenge: cost.

China’s ascension in green hydrogen development presents a compelling case of strategy and resource allocation uniquely leveraged by its government and corporate structures.

Despite record-high fossil fuel production and increased global scrutiny, methane emissions from the oil, gas, and coal sectors remain stubbornly high—exceeding 120 million tonnes annually—according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global Methane Tracker 2025.

Western Australia’s Mid West region could become a pivotal node in the global green hydrogen trade, according to the newly released Trilateral Hydrogen Hub Feasibility (TrHyHub) Study.

Last week’s blackout across Spain and Portugal—Europe’s most severe in recent years—has reignited urgent concerns over the region’s outdated electricity infrastructure.

In a year where steel sector emissions remain under global scrutiny, ArcelorMittal—one of the world’s three largest steelmakers—has spent just 2.5% of its operating cash flow on decarbonization between 2021 and 2024, according to a new assessment by SteelWatch.
