The world is electrifying at an accelerating pace, and while solar panels and wind turbines grab most of the headlines, the real power behind the transition lies buried in rocks and embedded in chemistry. Batteries and the critical minerals that go into them are the plumbing of the clean energy … [continued]
A first-of-its-kind stretchable battery is among the latest developments in the biobased energy storage field.
The storm over tariffs continues as the so-called president keeps talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
In recent months I’ve been assisting with strategy for a couple of emerging European NGOs on key decarbonization acceleration approaches, and one of the key participants asked me an interesting question this morning. This piece answers the question. The first NGO is Supergrid Europe, a Brussels-based organization which will be … [continued]
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Simon Todd, PhD, geologist, expert in geothermal, founder of Causeway Energies, and Irishman, not necessarily in that order, to talk all aspects of geothermal. Despite being often far underground, it’s having a moment in the sun right now, hence a recent … [continued]
Having lived in Florida for most of my life, golf carts are part of the background. They are all over the place. Historically, they have largely been powered by lead-acid batteries, but there are also loud, smelly, polluting ones. However, now, you can get lithium batteries for golf carts! In … [continued]
Blyth, 10 April 2025 — NHOA Energy, a global leader in the design, delivery and servicing of utility-scale energy storage systems, announces the completion of construction and commissioning of Neoen’s 238.5 MW / 477 MWh Blyth Battery. The project was delivered for Neoen and in partnership with Elecnor Australia. Completion … [continued]
EcoFlow pledges to donate 1% of sales to the “Power for All” fund, bringing together collective strength to fuel disaster recovery. From Hurricane Helene in 2024 to the Los Angeles wildfires in 2025, North America has witnessed a notable increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. In 2024, … [continued]
Bruno Latour once said technology doesn’t succeed because it works. It succeeds because enough people act like it does. For nearly a decade, that’s exactly what happened with green hydrogen as an energy carrier. The story was so compelling, the coalition so wide, the urgency so real, that for a … [continued]
Disseminated on behalf of Solar Bank Corporation I don’t think we need to tell most of CleanTechnica’s readers how important battery energy storage systems (BESS) are. After all, they’re the core technology that enables electric vehicles, portable solar generators, and home backup energy systems. However, the importance of batteries is … [continued]
