This archive tracks real progress in clean and renewable energy — from solar and wind expansions to grid breakthroughs and policy wins. More than 850 articles document what’s working, where it’s scaling, and who’s driving the shift away from fossil fuels. If you follow energy news for signal rather than noise, this is a useful place to start.
Stellantis’ forward plan advances carbon-neutral manufacturing and the “cradle-to-cradle” business model to Reduce tailpipe emissions. The plan calls for a 50% carbon emissions reduction by 2030, with a carbon net-zero target of 2038.
Economy Minister Robert Habeck has described the accelerated capacity expansion for renewable energy as a key element in making the country less dependent on Russian fossil fuel supplies.
By May 2023, haulers operating zero-emissions trucks — battery electric or hydrogen — must be given discounts of at least 50% on distance-based road tolls.
Duke Energy Corp. intends to close the rest of its coal plants by 2035 and more than double its renewable capacity by 2030 as part of a massive — and expensive — clean energy push.
The California Public Utilities Commission raised renewable energy procurement targets, plans for a more aggressive decarbonization plan, and includes increased reliability provisions.
The U.S. Departments of Energy and Transportation announced that they will dedicate $5 billion over the next five years to the project.
Nuclear fusion just hit a stunning new benchmark: scientists at the JET facility in Oxfordshire sustained a reaction for five seconds, releasing 59 megajoules of heat — more than double what the same machine produced in 1997. Inside the doughnut-shaped reactor, plasma reached 150 million degrees Celsius, roughly ten times hotter than the sun’s core, fusing hydrogen isotopes the same way stars do. The five-second burst matters because it proves the fuel can be burned stably and repeatably — the foundation any future power plant will need. If researchers can keep building on this, fusion’s promise of abundant, carbon-free energy drawn from seawater could reshape what a just, livable energy future looks like for everyone.
Global investment in the energy transition hit a new record off the back of rising climate ambition and policy action from countries around the world, according to Energy Transition Investment Trends 2022, a new report by BloombergNEF.
Li-Cycle expects to have the capacity to process up to 10,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries annually, including battery manufacturing scrap, full EV packs, and energy storage systems.
Wind turbines supplied 64.4% of power, while rooftop PV panel generation provided 29.5%, and utility-scale solar averaged 6.2%.
