Quick Key Facts What Is ‘Deep-Sea Mining’? Deep-sea mining is the process of retrieving mineral deposits from the ocean floor using destructive methods such as dredging, drilling and hydraulic pumps. These methods disrupt and harm marine life and their ecosystems. The seabed is a largely unexplored world of unidentified species and mystery. The Clarion-Clipperton Zone […]
According to the latest U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report by American Clean Power Association (ACP) and Wood Mackenzie, installations of both grid-scale and residential energy storage in the U.S. are continuing to rise, even reaching record highs in the third quarter of 2024. Grid-scale energy storage reached a record for third-quarter installations, hitting 3,806 MW […]
A new study has revealed that modern batteries in electric vehicles may last up to 40% longer than expected thanks to stop-and-go driving patterns that help recharge batteries on the go. According to researchers, the common lab testing methods to determine battery life may not be the most accurate way to estimate how long EV […]
The site of a cranberry bog in Carver, Massachusetts now serves double-duty as a community solar plant after receiving Permission to Operate approval on November 26.

In Switzerland, highway noise barriers surrounding the Oberland Autobahn near Wangen-Brüttisellen will soon provide solar power. Last year, Switzerland’s Federal Roads Office made the surfaces of highway noise barriers free and set out to cover 350 of them in solar panels. Swiss officials estimated that the arrays could generate 100 gigawatt hours of clean energy […]
COP29 talks, including the landmark deal on “transitioning away from fossil fuels” agreed upon at last year’s negotiations, had to be prevented from collapse after Saudi Arabia and other developing countries expressed opposition.
