European Study Maps Optimal Routes for Renewable Hydrogen Transportation

A European study has mapped optimal routes for renewable hydrogen transportation across the EU, revealing which delivery methods offer the best balance between cost and environmental impact. The research addresses a critical obstacle in Europe's decarbonization plans: moving hydrogen efficiently over long distances at low cost. The European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) conducted the analysis by integrating economic evaluation with life-cycle environmental impact assessment. Researchers modeled hydrogen generated using renewable electrolysis at Portuguese facilities and shipped to the Netherlands, covering roughly 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) to mirror realistic European import pathways. Five delivery pathways were examined: liquid hydrogen, compressed…

Data Centers Could Accelerate Africa’s Energy Transition

Data centers could become the unexpected catalyst that finally modernizes Africa's energy infrastructure. The continent's explosive digital growth is creating massive demand for reliable electricity, and that appetite is attracting the type of capital investment that has historically avoided African power grids. Africa's data center market reached $3.49 billion in 2024 and is poised to hit $6.81 billion by 2030, rising at an 11.79% annual growth rate according to the African Energy Chamber's 2026 Outlook Report. Energy demand for these facilities is projected to grow at an annual rate of 9% between 2024 and 2030, reaching 2 GW by decade's…

Data Shows 2025 Approvals for Renewable Energy Projects Reached Record Levels in Britain

Britain greenlit a historic number of renewable energy projects in 2025, with permissions nearly doubling compared to the previous year. Combined capacity for battery, wind, and solar installations that received approval reached 45GW, marking a 96 percent jump from 2024 figures, according to Cornwall Insight analysis. Battery storage led the charge, with permissions climbing to 28.6GW from 14.9GW the year prior. Offshore wind projects saw even more explosive growth, surging more than sevenfold to 9.9GW from just 1.3GW. Across the past five years, authorizations for these three technologies have increased over 400 percent. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said his government…

Report Shows Renewables are Triggering Global Reductions in Power Prices

Wind and solar energy deliver the most economical electricity generation despite political assertions that clean technologies inflate consumer bills, Zero Carbon Analytics research indicates. Analysis revealed that nine-tenths of recently constructed large-scale renewable installations produce power at costs lower than the cheapest newly built fossil fuel plants. Land-based wind turbines currently generate the globe's most affordable fresh electrical capacity. Referencing International Renewable Energy Agency findings, researchers found that terrestrial wind facilities deliver electricity 53% cheaper than the lowest-cost carbon-based alternatives, while renewable installations combined with storage batteries steadily match fossil generation economics across major territories. Contrary to renewable affordability evidence,…

Top US Academic Journal Crowns Renewables Surge as 2025’s Biggest Breakthrough

A prominent American research publication has crowned surging renewable energy adoption as 2025’s top scientific achievement. The Thursday announcement by the journal Science credited China with spearheading the worldwide shift toward cleaner electricity generation methods. 2025 brought a significant transition as clean energy, mostly captured through solar arrays and wind installations, started displacing traditional sources across various metrics, the publication reported in its annual review. Global clean power capacity grew fast enough to satisfy all new electricity demand globally during the initial six months of the year. It also overtook coal-fired generation worldwide, representing a watershed moment in power production…

Brownfields Could Power the Energy Transition

Abandoned industrial lands called brownfield sites could help power the transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Approximately 6 million UK households cannot afford adequate heating, a sharp increase in energy poverty since 2021. Simultaneously, Britain must deliver 70 gigawatts of solar capacity by 2035 to meet net-zero targets, enough electricity to power 35 million households. England alone contains over 37,000 brownfield sites, many located in economically disadvantaged areas with low property values. Government registers show that these contaminated or derelict parcels resulting from deindustrialization range from 0.001 hectares to 157,945 hectares. Rather than remaining fenced-off environmental liabilities, these properties could…

How Energy and AI are Reshaping Power Grids

Artificial intelligence and energy systems are converging at a critical moment for power grids worldwide. Shifting away from fossil fuels toward renewable sources demands sophisticated management tools for variable generation like wind and solar. AI's capacity to process enormous datasets and generate predictions positions it as a potential solution. Climate change represents one of humanity's greatest challenges, and addressing it will require replacing carbon-based energy with clean alternatives. Successfully incorporating intermittent renewable sources into existing infrastructure requires advanced planning and operational tools. Grid operators must ensure stability and security while renewable capacity grows. Recent computational breakthroughs enable machines to replicate…

EU Records 4% Uptick in Renewables Generation in Q3

Renewable energy generation in the European Union climbed again in the third quarter of 2025, accounting for nearly half of all electricity produced across member states. New data shows that renewables supplied 49.3% of net electricity in Q3, up from 47.5% in the same period last year, a gain of roughly 4 percentage points that underscores the bloc’s ongoing energy transition. The figures released by Eurostat signal steady progress toward cleaner power even as markets weigh supply challenges and policy debates. A majority of EU countries saw year-on-year increases in renewables’ share of electricity output, reflecting robust investment in clean…

UN Lauds China’s Efforts to Transition to Renewable Energy

Renewable energy buildout in China has made exceptional contributions to worldwide climate action, United Nations Environment Program leadership says. Massively expanded manufacturing scale in the Asian economic powerhouse has slashed clean technology prices and broadened access globally, particularly across developing regions. Inger Andersen, serving as both UNEP's executive director and a UN Under-Secretary-General, discussed these developments with China Daily ahead of the seventh Environment Assembly gathering that opened Monday in Nairobi. She described installation growth rates as moving at an extraordinary clip. Plans call for reaching 3,600 gigawatts of wind and solar generation by 2035, representing a sixfold increase from…
