Image credit: jax10289 / Shutterstock.com. New rules on how workplaces in England sort their recycling and waste came into force on 31 March, hopefully ending confusion over what goes where and enabling consistent, more streamlined collections. The measures are part of the Governments Simpler Recycling plans and are expected to boost flatlining recycling rates, reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill or for incineration, and deliver cost savings for some businesses, while replacing previous
Thinktank says solar has been fastest-growing energy source for last 20 years, but remains dwarfed by hydro power The world used clean power sources to meet more than 40% of its electricity demand last year for the first time since the 1940s, figures show. A report by the energy thinktank Ember said the milestone was powered by a boom in solar power capacity, which has doubled in the last three years.

Last week, the Prof whisked me off to Northumberland for a few days to celebrate my birthday. She had found us a gorgeous ‘eco-studio’ (passive solar heating plus heat pump, natural materials, deep daylighting etc) overlooking the cute village of Alnmouth. The small building was designed perfectly so you could lie in bed in the morning with a coffee and watch the sun rise over the village and the North Sea beyond.
Japanese semiconductor firm Renesas Electronics has introduced an all-in-one system for managing lithium-ion battery packs in consumer products, including e-bikes.

Swedish state-owned mining company LKAB is nearing completion of the first phase of testing the electric Scania Heavy Tipper truck above ground in Malmberget, Sweden after approximately 50,000 km driven. The battery-powered trucks are part of LKABs goal to electrify the vehicle fleet throughout its value chain, from mine to finished product. LKAB brought the Heavy Tipper to Malmberget to be tested and developed on-site in collaboration with Scania.
Energy storage platform GoodPeak has closed construction debt financing to start construction on two 10MW battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Texas, US.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently reported that U.S. natural gas consumption set new winter and summer consumption records in 2024, highlighting the growing importance of natural gas in the global energy mix. This surge in consumption comes amid record production levels, even as drilling activity remains subdued. The implications of these trends are significant, influencing everything from energy prices to power generation choices.
Ocean waves have long been seen as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwidenearly two to three times the world's current annual energy consumption.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
The drilling of a geothermal borehole in the town of Szalfary in the Malopolska Province in Poland, has been officially ended at a depth of exactly 6103.2 meters. Though short of the target 7-kilometer depth, it was nevertheless an impressive effort to set a new record for the deepest geothermal borehole for heating. For now, that record is still held by t he 6.4-kilometer well in Otaniemi, Finland.
