Microsoft, Meta and Amazon are backing nuclear electricity for decades. Their deals restore, preserve and reserve capacity, with different implications for the grid.

The more than 23,000 large aircraft worldwide consume approximately 350 billion liters of fuel annually and account for about 3 percent of human- caused CO₂ emissions. For long-haul flights over 4,000 km in particular, there is no alternative to liquid fuels, as only these provide a sufficiently hig...

HSBC has teamed up with partners to launch a non-profit platform to help emerging markets in upgrading their technology and shifting from oil and coal to renewable energy, according to a senior executive. The Green Accelerator Programme, rolled out on Monday with backing from HSBC, Asian Infrastructure Development Bank, Silk Road Fund and others, will channel private capital into feasibility stud…

During operation, converter valves continuously generate a large amount of waste heat, which is currently usually removed by a valve cooling system for temperature reduction; however, because the return-water temperature of converter valves is generally low, the waste heat is of insufficient grade, making it difficult to achieve efficient recovery and cascade utilization of low-grade thermal ener…

Researchers have developed the world’s first heat-driven elastocaloric cooling system, using waste heat and solar energy to support sustainable cooling. A cooling system powered directly by heat rather than an electric motor has worked in laboratory tests, offering a possible way to turn waste heat or solar energy into cooling. The prototype, developed by researchers [...]

Energy secretary could recommend new North Sea drilling next week, as ministers also consider approval for Rosebank oilfield

Hydrogen fuel cells have moved well beyond laboratory demonstrations and niche applications. Stationary power systems are now being contracted at gigawatt scale to serve AI data centers, while heavy-duty trucks and buses are entering commercial deployment across multiple continents. The technology's ability to generate electricity at high efficiency with only water as a byproduct puts it at the c…

IntroductionUsing panel data for 282 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2023, this study examines whether AIoriented place-based policy promotes urban green development.MethodsWe exploit the staggered rollout of China’s National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Pilot Zones (AIIDPZ) as a quasi-natural experiment and estimate its causal effect on urban green total factor p…

This analysis and news roundup come from the Canary Media Weekly newsletter. Sign up to get it every Friday. Solar is beating coal in China. Sorta. But also not at all. Let me explain. An eye-popping new chart made the rounds this week. It shows a line representing solar energy in China rising improbably over…
