Japan Leans on Flexible, Ultra-Lightweight Solar Panels to Accelerate Energy Transition

Japan will leverage flexible and ultra-lightweight solar panels to accelerate its transition to green energy, strengthen its competitiveness in the technology sector, and achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050. Japan's decision to invest in ultra-thin, flexible, and lightweight solar panels is based on practicality: they can be installed on irregular or curved surfaces, making them ideal for the country's mountainous terrain. These flexible solar panels are made from a lightweight material called perovskite that makes them more adaptable than traditional silicon solar panels, which are most effective on flat surfaces. Additionally, Japan will also take advantage of a local…

UN Reports Indicate Renewables Have Reached Cost Tipping Point Versus Fossil Fuel

Two United Nations reports indicate that renewables have reached the cost tipping point compared to fossil fuels. The reports describe a ‘positive tipping point’ characterized by a worldwide shift to renewable sources of energy like wind and solar. Fossil fuels still fulfill a greater portion of the world’s energy demand, particularly in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and transport. However, renewables are catching up at an incredibly rapid pace in both affordability and adoption. In fact, the UN reports say, renewables such as wind and solar have reached a tipping point where they will become even more widespread and low cost.…

White Hydrogen Offers Additional Option in Energy Transition

As the world seeks solutions that will enable it to transition from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives, white hydrogen could provide an additional low-carbon option in the green energy transition. Also referred to as geologic or natural hydrogen, white hydrogen is naturally occurring hydrogen that forms through natural processes. Green hydrogen, on the other hand, is produced using energy-intensive processes such as electrolysis, while blue hydrogen needs carbon capture, another energy-intensive process. Since it forms naturally with no human input, white hydrogen has been gaining popularity as an alternative source of clean energy. This source of energy could be extracted…

BP Pivots Back to Oil, to Divest its Onshore Wind Energy Business in the US

British oil and gas company BP is pivoting back to fossil fuels and divesting its onshore wind energy business in the U.S. after its efforts to go green seemingly fell short. According to the fossil fuel multinational, it has entered a deal to sell its share of the 10 onshore wind farms it owns in the U.S. to LS Power, a utility-scale electric transmission operator based in New York. The farms collectively generate enough clean wind energy to power over half a million American homes. Although the financial details of the deal between BP and LS Power haven’t been disclosed,…

California Notches New Record in Renewable Energy

Recent data from the California Energy Commission has revealed that California achieved a new renewable energy milestone in 2023: drawing 67% of its retail electricity supply from wind, hydropower, solar, and other renewable sources, up from 61% in 2022. The previous record was 64% renewable energy in 2019, just a year after former California Governor Jerry Brown signed a state law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Under the 2018 emissions reduction measure, California is set to achieve 100% carbon-free and renewable electricity by the year 2045, with wind, biomass, solar, nuclear, and large hydropower providing the…

Your Windows Could Soon Be Generating Clean Energy

For most of their existence, photovoltaic solar panels have maintained the same form factor: dark, opaque panels that are typically placed on the roof (or the ground) to convert solar energy into electricity. Scientists from Michigan State University have now developed a revolutionary new design that ditches the traditional form factor for a completely new one: transparent panels. Solar panels with this new design could serve the dual function of both window and energy generator, keeping the elements out of buildings while they quietly generate clean energy. Although the idea seems like something you'd see in science fiction, Michigan State…

SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) Aligns Strategy as North American Energy Policy Shifts

U.S. clean energy tax credits under the new Big Beautiful Bill require projects to commence construction by July 4, 2026, and complete within four years. SolarBank has enough advanced-stage U.S. projects to meet this timeline, backed by a $100 million financing deal with CIM Group. The company is prioritizing construction on a 97 MW portfolio in key states with interconnection and permitting progress. In Canada, SolarBank is deploying battery systems in Ontario under decade-long IESO contracts and expanding in Nova Scotia’s Community Solar program. Canada’s “Build, baby, build” policy push under Prime Minister Mark Carney favors developers with shovel-ready assets.…

Latin America on Course to Lead Shift to Clean Energy

Latin America's accelerated adoption of green energy is positioning the region at the forefront of the global transition to renewables. With renewable energy capacity surging across several countries, Latin America is on track to become a global leader in green energy adoption, especially if the U.S. fails to improve its approach to renewables. Despite being historically the world's largest polluter (only surpassed by China in recent decades), the U.S. lacks a coherent long-term green energy policy. The Trump administration revoked most of the prior administration's renewables-related policies and recently dealt a significant blow to American green energy with the passage…

GOP Budget Act Takes US Backwards on Renewable Energy

President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ has dealt a catastrophic blow to America’s renewable energy ambitions. After spending the past several months undoing hundreds of the previous administration’s climate action-related policies, the Trump administration may have just administered the death blow to American renewable energy via the massive spending bill, a measure that could potentially remove America from the global renewable energy conversation entirely and hand green energy supremacy to China. Analysts say that the spending bill, signed into law last week, essentially resets America’s energy industry by quickly phasing out federal tax credits for electric cars as well as…
