This archive tracks real progress in clean and renewable energy — from solar and wind expansion to grid upgrades and policy wins. Each story focuses on what’s working, where, and why it matters for people and the planet.
The incentives are up to $9,500 towards the purchase of a new or used plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, fully battery electric vehicle, or fuel cell electric vehicle and will be prioritized for low-income families.
Scientists at Monash University in Australia have developed a battery with a capacity five times higher than that of lithium-ion batteries that could lead to drastically cheaper electric cars and grid energy storage.
Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz vowed that Israel will move into a coal-free era of power production by the end of 2025, five years earlier than originally targeted.
In the third quarter of 2019 renewable energy sources provided a record 38.9% of the country’s electricity — exceeding natural gas for the first time ever, which provided 38.8%.
By 2025, Audi says that it will have “more than 30 electrified models in its product range” and “20 of which will be fully electric.”
Mainland Spain went coal free from 23:50 local time on 13 December until 21:20 on 15 December — making 14 December the first day of no coal burn since records began.
The company has committed to source 100% renewable electricity across the company’s entire operations — all retail stores, offices, call centers, and network sites.
Over 500 companies have committed to to reach the net zero target by the year 2030 – 20 years ahead of the 2050 targets set in the Paris Agreement.
Electric flight took a meaningful step toward reality when a retrofitted seaplane lifted off from Vancouver Harbor under battery power alone — no combustion engine, no direct emissions. The six-passenger de Havilland Beaver used magniX’s 750-horsepower electric motor, and operator Harbour Air aims to electrify its entire coastal fleet pending regulatory approval. The retrofit approach lets airlines transition existing aircraft rather than waiting for purpose-built planes. Range remains the honest constraint on current batteries, but for short coastal hops, that’s enough to prove the concept works and show where the next era of aviation begins.
Ireland has published its long-awaited Renewable Electricity Support Scheme, unveiling details on how the country will increase its share of renewable energy to 70% by 2030.
