Croatia is advancing a plan to transform unused land along its major highways into a source of renewable energy. The national highway operator, Hrvatske Autoceste (HAC), has commissioned project designs for photovoltaic power plants at four locations spanning 36 hectares along the A3 highway, which connects the capital, Zagreb, to the Serbian border. This “solar […]

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking solid-state sodium-ion battery, a technology poised to make electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage safer and more affordable. By replacing the flammable liquid electrolytes found in conventional lithium-ion batteries with a novel solid material, scientists have mitigated the risk of “thermal runaway” that can lead to fires. This innovation could […]

Hungary has unexpectedly become the world leader in the proportion of its electricity derived from solar power, according to a recent analysis. The report, from the think tank Ember, shows that the Central European nation generated nearly a quarter of its electricity from solar panels in 2024, surpassing the former leader, Chile. This significant achievement […]

The rapid and large-scale deployment of solar energy infrastructure, sometimes referred to as a “solar storm,” is transforming the global approach to renewable power. These massive projects, some involving as many as 20 million photovoltaic units, are capable of generating electricity on par with conventional power plants. A prime example is an ambitious Australian initiative […]
