Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a breakthrough 3D-printed electrode design that effectively resolves the long-standing trade-off between energy storage capacity and power delivery. By utilizing computational optimization and advanced manufacturing, the team created an interlocking architecture that eliminates "dead zones" where ions typically become trapped. This ...

Europe is racing to decarbonize its steel industry, a sector responsible for nearly 9% of global CO2 emission. Leading the charge are Swedish ventures like Hybrit and Stegra, which utilize hydrogen-based direct reduction and electric arc furnaces to slash emissions by 80%. However, the transition faces significant headwinds, including high ...

Akaysha Energy, a BlackRock-owned developer, has partnered with Copenhagen Energy to launch large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Germany. Supported by an AUD 300 million debt facility, the joint venture aims to capitalize on Germany’s robust merchant market and liquid intraday trading. As the sector shifts from ancillary services ...

Greece's renewable energy sector is facing a severe crisis as a lack of battery storage infrastructure forces significant power curtailments and drives wholesale electricity prices to zero during daylight hours. While the government has licensed up to 25 GW of capacity for a system with much lower demand, delays in ...

Honor is set to redefine smartphone endurance with the development of a 12,000mAh battery device, leveraging cutting-edge silicon-carbon chemistry to maintain a slim profile. Unlike previous attempts at massive batteries that resulted in bulky, impractical designs, Honor’s new approach focuses on high energy density. This project is part of a ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reached a significant milestone in renewable energy by pushing the efficiency of all-perovskite tandem solar cells beyond the 30 percent threshold. By implementing a novel chemical strategy to synchronize the crystallization process, the team achieved a record 30.3 percent power conversion efficiency ...

Spain has significantly bolstered its renewable energy landscape by integrating 20 new projects into its national energy community programme, bringing the total to 262 active initiatives. Supported by €108.4 million in EU recovery funds, these community-led projects represent a combined 175.3 MW of solar capacity. Beyond power generation, the program ...

The Czech government is advancing legislative changes designed to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy by simplifying tax and permitting regulations. Key proposals supported by the Economic Committee include doubling the threshold for electricity tax payments to 100 kW and eliminating double taxation for integrated solar and battery storage systems ...

The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has announced plans to introduce a feed-in tariff for large-scale electricity producers by 2032, requiring wind and solar farms to share grid maintenance costs. While the ACM aims to align with German standards and provide market adjustment time, the proposal has drawn ...
